Fighting and dancing games both emerge from Asia, and they both foreground the body. They strip down bodily movement into elemental actions like stepping, kicking, leaping, and tapping, and make these the form and content of the game. I argue that fighting and dancing games point to a key dynamic in videogame play: the programming of the body into the algorithmic logic of the game, a logic that increasingly organizes the informatic structure of everyday work and leisure in a globally interconnected information economy.

Further reproduction prohibited without permission. CHOREOGRAPHY FOR THE CAMERA: AN HISTORICAL, CRITICAL, AND EMPIRICAL STUDY Vana Patrice Carter, M.A. Western Michigan University, 1992 This study investigates whether a dance choreographer’s lack of knowledge of film, television, or video theory and technology, particularly the capabilities of the camera and montage, restricts choreographic communication via these media. First, several film and television choreographers were surveyed. Second, the literature was analyzed to determine the evolution of dance on film and television (from the choreographers’ perspective).

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: COMMUNICATING FEAR in FILM
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: COMMUNICATING FEAR IN FILM MUSIC: A SOCIOPHOBIC ANALYSIS OF ZOMBIE FILM SOUNDTRACKS Pedro Gonzalez-Fernandez Master of Arts, 2014 Directed By: Dr. Patrick Warfield, Musicology The horror film soundtrack is a complex web of narratological, ethnographic, and semiological factors all related to the social tensions intimated by a film. This study examines four major periods in the zombie’s film career—the Voodoo zombie of the 1930s and 1940s, the invasion narratives of the late 1960s, the post-apocalyptic survivalist fantasies of the 1970s and 1980s, and the modern post-9/11 zombie—to track how certain musical sounds and styles are indexed with the content of zombie films. Two main musical threads link the individual films’ characterization of the zombie and the setting: Othering via different types of musical exoticism, and the use of sonic excess to pronounce sociophobic themes.

  • Library of Congress Collection Overviews: Motion Pictures
    COLLECTION OVERVIEWS MOTION PICTURES I. SCOPE This overview of the Library's collections deals with motion pictures, while television and video are covered separately. There is some overlap because many early television broadcasts were recorded on motion picture film. II. SIZE The collections of the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division include approximately 700,000 motion picture reels and 500,000 videotapes, with about 30,000 individual elements added each year. III. GENERAL RESEARCH STRENGTHS The Library of Congress has the largest collection of American created motion picture, television, and video and digitally produced moving image materials in the world. Due to the deposit requirements of U.S. copyright law, MBRS is particularly strong in American moving image items commercially produced for news, entertainment and public information purposes. MBRS has the world’s largest collection of films produced and distributed in America in the silent era (1893-1929), and is particularly strong in American films produced prior to 1915. Because the Library did not demand copies of motion pictures registered for copyright between 1912 and 1946, in the past forty years MBRS has aggressively pursued acquisitions of nitrate film to cover this gap. Today, MBRS houses (and preserves) more than 140 million feet of nitrate film, one of the largest collections in the world. IV. AREAS OF DISTINCTION The Copyright Collection: The Copyright Collection comprises the largest of MBRS holdings, and is the most used materials. The Division’s earliest and most important collection is the Paper Print Collection, which began in 1894. Because at that time there was no provision in the copyright law for registering motion pictures, films were deposited as photographs printed on strips of photographic contact paper.

    Pace University DigitalCommons@Pace Honors College Theses Pforzheimer Honors College 6-2020 The Lack of Recognition for the Film Choreographer in Hollywood Claire Ross Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.pace.edu/honorscollege_theses Part of the Dance Commons, and the Film and Media Studies Commons The Lack of Recognition for the Film Choreographer in Hollywood Claire Ross Commercial Dance Major Art & Entertainment Management Minor Virginia Cox, MS Dyson College of Arts and Sciences Presentation Date: June 2020 Graduation Date: May 2020 1 Abstract The following research directly addresses why the film choreographer has lacked adequate recognition within the Academy Awards, popularly known as the Oscars, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Additionally, this study aims to fill the research gap in relation to the minimal documentation that exists regarding the role and contributions of the film choreographer within the film industry. In order to move forward in assessing how the film choreographer can be recognized within the Oscars, one must address why they have not been sufficiently recognized within the history of the Academy Awards. By assessing the film choreographer’s value within the film industry through semi-structured interviews and data analysis methodologies, it was concluded their lack of recognition within the Oscars is due to the lack of dance’s presence in film, the undefined role of a film choreographer, and the general lack of awareness revolving around their contributions to film. All of which directly contribute to the film choreographer’s disproportionately perceived value within the film industry. Overall, this research intends to increase the dialogue revolving around the film choreographer as well as validate their value within the film industry.

"The old Vitagraph lot, then ABC, now Disney in East Hollywood, once had a large backlot, but by the time of television, the backlot was gone. For an early live western tv show, the side of one of the sound stages was painted to look like a western town or desert scene or something, and the show was show live from in front of that painted building." - Jerry S. "I've been told that all the scenes [in 42nd STREET] inside the theater were shot at Prospect on [what was known as] the Vitaphone theater stage. That stage later became Studio E at ABC, (now Stage 5). Eventually, the auditorium end of the stage was demolished to make way for a new studio now called Stage 4. The Vitaphone stage was sort of like the Phantom stage at Universal in that a portion of it had a permanent auditorium set with seats and boxes. It was removed once ABC took over. The old TV series SPACE PATROL was shot on those combined stages." - Richard P.

NOTES ENTERTAINMENT TITLE DUPLICATION CASES: A PROCESS OF EVOLUTION* With the advent of mass communication and mass distribution, an appealing title has become an absolute necessity in the entertainment field. The creation of road companies has enabled the "Broadway play" to travel to the medium sized communities and radio and television have enabled entertainment products to be delivered directly to the home. In order to compete successfully with other readily available entertainment products, each must be given a title that both immediately attracts the attention of the customer and is easy to remember. Moreover, if the title is popular in its own right, advertising the product to which it is attached will be easier and less expensive. Because of these factors the entertain- ment field frequently places a high monetary value on a title which em- bodies the proper characteristics.' Indeed, Warner Brothers recently paid an author $200,000 for the movie rights of the best-selling book Sex and the Single Girl, yet, it appears that the book itself cannot be adapted as a movie script, and the author assumed no script writing duties under the contract.

  • The Gene Kelly/Stanley Donen Trilogy
    The Gene KellY/Stanley Donen Trilogy: Singin' and Dancin' in the Narrative and Film Structure Mark DuPre Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in the School of the Arts COLu~mIA UNIVERSITY 1984 Thanks to Diane for her love and her typing; to John Belton, for his genuine concern and helpful criticism; and to my family and friends for their prayers and support. Table of Contents Introduction 1 I. On the Town: The Rise of Performance 9 II. Singin' in the Rain: A Turning Point 44 III. It's Always Fair Weather: The Death of Dance 91 Bibliography 116 Introduction Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen co-directed three films -- On the Town (1949 release date), Singin' in the Rain (1952), and It's Always Fair Weather (1955). For a variety of reasons, the films are important to the study of film and in particular, the film musical. For example, the collaboration of two directors who both had subsequent careers as directors working alone, while not unheard of, is certainly a rarity. An auteur­ ist approach to both Kelly's and Donen's careers would have to take these films into consideration, of course. Beyond that, these three films permit the study of col­ laboration in cinema in general and the study of the role of collaboration in the evolution of the musical in particular. It is within the history of the musical, however, that the three films have most to share. The time in which they were made is part of the reason.

  • The History of CBS Hollywood Television Studios
    1 The History of CBS Hollywood Television Studios By Bobby Ellerbee and Eyes Of A Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgement This is a unique look at the events that preceded the need for CBS television studios in Hollywood and, as in New York, the radio division is leading the way. This project is somewhat different than the prior reports on the New York studios of CBS and NBC, for two reasons. The first reason is that in that in those reports, television was brand new and being developed through the mechanical function to an electronic phenomenon. Most of that work occurred in and around their headquarters in New York. In this case, both CBS and NBC are at the mercy of geological and technological developments outside their own abilities…namely the Rocky Mountains and AT&T. The second reason has to do with the success of the network’s own stars. Their popularity on radio soon translated to public demand once “talking pictures” became possible. That led many New York based radio stars to Hollywood and, in a way, Mohammed had to come to the mountain. This story is told to the best of our abilities, as a great deal of the information on these facilities is now gone…like so many of the men and women who worked there. I’ve told this as concisely as possible, but some elements are dependent on the memories of those who were there many years ago, and from conclusions drawn from research. If you can add to this with facts or photos, please contact me as this is an ongoing project.
