  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Disruptive Convergence: The Struggle Over the Licensing and Sale of Hollywood’s Feature Films to Television Before 1955 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Television by Jennifer Anne Porst 2014 © Copyright by Jennifer Anne Porst 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Disruptive Convergence: The Struggle Over the Licensing and Sale of Hollywood’s Feature Films to Television Before 1955 by Jennifer Anne Porst Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Television University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor John T. Caldwell, Chair This project is located at the intersection of television and film studies and examines the causes and effects of disruption and convergence in the media industries through a case study of the struggle over Hollywood’s feature films on television before 1955. Since television began broadcasting in earnest in 1948, two years after Hollywood saw its box-office revenues decline precipitously from their all-time high in 1946, the important question to ask becomes: why did it take seven years for Hollywood’s features to make their way to television? Through an investigation of the efforts made by the film and television industries in the 1940s and 1950s to work towards feature films appearing on television, this project concludes that Hollywood’s feature films did not appear on television until 1956, not because of the long held assumptions that the film industry was either apathetic or hostile to the nascent television industry, but rather ii as a result of a complex combination of industrial, social, legal, and governmental forces.

  • San Francisco Silent Film Festival
    True art transcends time. SAN FRANCISCO SILENT FILM FESTIVAL JULY 18–21, 2013 CASTRO THEATRE SAN FRANCISCO SILENT FILM FESTIVAL elcome to our 18th summer festival. The San Francisco Silent Film Festival is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public about silent film as an art form and as a cul- turally valuable historical record. Throughout the year, SFSFF produces events that showcase important titles from the silent era, often in restored or preserved prints, with live musical accompaniment by someW of the world’s finest practitioners of the art of putting music to film. Each presentation exemplifies the extraordinary quality that Academy Award-winning film historian Kevin Brownlow calls “live cinema.” Silent-era filmmakers produced masterpieces that can seem breathtakingly modern. In a remarkably short time after the birth of movies, filmmakers developed all the techniques that made cinema its own art form. The only technique that eluded them was the ability to marry sound to the film print, but these films were never meant to be viewed in silence and it is often obvious that music was a part of the production as well as the exhibition. The absence of recording on the set, though, meant that the camera was free to move with a grace and ele- gance that allowed visual storytell- ing to flourish and made film more than just an adjunct to the stage. It is through these films that the world first came to love movies and learned how to appreciate them as art. They have influenced every generation of filmmakers and con- tinue to inspire audiences nearly a century after they were made.
