To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

To be sure, most creatives will admit it may be and Amy Shea possible to measure the surface meaning of an ad - the message commu- nication - because that’s the part that’s easy for an audience to play back in words. But a good story well-told, a good performance well-acted, a good film well-made - all of these do their real work below the sur- advertising research advertising face meaning of things. That’s where the magic really happens. But 50 years of traditional copy testing has taught an unfortunate lesson to the creative community: research cannot quantify the deeper, emotional content of great creative work. For that reason, creatives have turned to peer review to validate the quality of their work, so that award shows count for more than research metrics in the eyes of the people who actually create ads. Their position is that the aesthetic judgment of an experienced creative director cannot be replicated with audience research data. We put this assumption to the test by comparing in detail the way a master storyteller analyzes a Hollywood masterpiece with the emotional engagement metrics produced by the online Ameritest pre-testing system. Using the same visual diagnostics that Ameritest uses to test television commercials, we conducted research on the famous bazaar scene from the classic film Casablanca.

  • Transformative Screenwriting: Charlie Kaufman’S Postmodern Adaptation of Story
    Lund University Johan Peter Sundberg Centre for Languages and Literature 801212-0518 Film Studies Master's Thesis: LIV704 Tutors: Lars Gustaf Andersson & Erik Hedling Seminar Date: 2015-01-15 Title Page Transformative Screenwriting: Charlie Kaufman’s Postmodern Adaptation of Story Nothing is random. Nothing that happens to him has no point. Nothing that he says happens to him in his life does not get turned into something that is useful to him. Things that appear to have been pointlessly destructive and poisoning, things that look at the time to have been wasteful and appalling and spoiling, are the things that turn out to be, say, the writing of Portnoy's Complaint. As each person comes into his life, you begin to think, "So what is this person's usefulness going to be? What is this person going to provide him in the way of the book?" Well, maybe this is the difference between the writer's life and an ordinary life.1 – Philip Roth, The Facts Table of Contents Title Page ........................................................................................................................................... 1 Table of Contents ............................................................................................................................ 2 Part 1: Introduction ............................................................................................................. 3 Cast, Acronyms and Abbreviations ........................................................................................... 6 Method and Purpose .....................................................................................................................
