CASO DE ESTUDIO: DAVID FINCHER Grado en Publicidad y Relaciones Públicas Curso 2020 – 2021 María Blanco Torres TRABAJO FIN DE GRADO LA TÉCNICA PUBLICITARIA DEL PRODUCT PLACEMENT APLICADA AL GÉNERO CINEMÁTOGRÁFICO DE SUSPENSE. CASO DE ESTUDIO: DAVID FINCHER Alejandro Buitrago Alonso Segovia, febrero 2021 1 Resumen: En este trabajo de fin de grado se ha realizado un análisis exhaustivo del uso de la técnica del product placement dentro de la filmografía del cineasta David Fincher, concretamente centrándose en su obra asociada al género de suspense. Una vez fijado el objetivo, los motivos por los que se ha elegido este tema y este objeto de estudio son, por una parte, el interés personal acerca de la utilización de esta técnica en el mundo cinematográfico y por otra, la capacidad narrativa de dicho director. Además, Fincher logra emplazar la publicidad de una manera tan sutil que en ocasiones pasa desapercibida. Para esta investigación, primero se ha llevado a cabo una aproximación teórica donde se han recogido los conceptos principales. En este caso han sido el origen del product placement y su importancia, además de su uso y los tipos de emplazamientos que se pueden emplear, y por otro lado se ha analizado la figura de David Fincher, desde sus inicios en la industria cinematográfica hasta sus últimos trabajos, examinando también su cine y su técnica narrativa. Después se ha escogido la metodología de la investigación, que se basa en un análisis exhaustivo de las cinco películas de su filmografía pertenecientes a la categoría de suspense.

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.

  • Taylor Muller Honors Thesis
    CONTEMPORARY REPRESENTATIONS OF MARRIAGE IN LITERATURE AND POP CULTURE by Taylor Muller Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Departmental Honors in the Department of English Texas Christian University Fort Worth, Texas May 2, 2014 ii CONTEMPORARY REPRESENTATIONS OF MARRIAGE IN LITERATURE AND POP CULTURE Project Approved: Supervising Professor: Ariane Balizet, Ph.D. Department of English Carrie Leverenz, Ph.D. Department of English Sharon Fairchild, Ph.D. Department of Modern Language Studies iii ABSTRACT This research examines the representations of marriage in the novels The Marriage Plot and Gone Girl, reality television shows including Say Yes to the Dress, Four Weddings, and The Bachelor, and social media websites such as Pinterest. The analysis focuses on how these contemporary representations demonstrate normative gender roles, and what claims they make about marriage today. Several patterns emerged when using in particular the theories of Judith Butler and Frances Dolan as a framework for understanding the portrayals of marriage. The depictions of marriage included individuals adopting some sort of role-performance, often gender specific, and reiterated the conflict for power in marriage between the two parties. These were magnified in the dramatization of real life, such as reality television shows, and frequently reiterated traditional understandings of marriage within a modern context. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION...............................................................................................................1

Ma tutto ciò raramente avviene senza che ci siano contrasti. Nel film The Social Network, il regista David Fincher e lo sceneggiatore Aaron Sorkin raccontano il momento in cui è stato creato Facebook, il fenomeno sociale più rivoluzionario del nuovo secolo, attraverso lo scontro di alcuni giovani brillanti che affermano di aver preso ognuno parte alla nascita del progetto. Il risultato è il racconto di un dramma che alterna la creatività alla distruzione, in cui non c'è un solo punto di vista ma un duello narrativo che rispecchia perfettamente la realtà delle relazioni sociali dei nostri giorni.

In the interim, warriors who were called Judges emerged as the leaders when needed. In the book of Judges, one finds the first attempt to explain history through Deuteronomist glasses, and therefore this and the rest of the history books are assumed to be written by “the Deuteronomic Historians.” Some stories are very short while others are long with many details.
