  • Photo Journalism, Film and Animation
    Syllabus – Photo Journalism, Films and Animation Photo Journalism: Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that employs images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (e.g., documentary photography, social documentary photography, street photography or celebrity photography) by complying with a rigid ethical framework which demands that the work be both honest and impartial whilst telling the story in strictly journalistic terms. Photojournalists create pictures that contribute to the news media, and help communities connect with one other. Photojournalists must be well informed and knowledgeable about events happening right outside their door. They deliver news in a creative format that is not only informative, but also entertaining. Need and importance, Timeliness The images have meaning in the context of a recently published record of events. Objectivity The situation implied by the images is a fair and accurate representation of the events they depict in both content and tone. Narrative The images combine with other news elements to make facts relatable to audiences. Like a writer, a photojournalist is a reporter, but he or she must often make decisions instantly and carry photographic equipment, often while exposed to significant obstacles (e.g., physical danger, weather, crowds, physical access). subject of photo picture sources, Photojournalists are able to enjoy a working environment that gets them out from behind a desk and into the world.

Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

With an early lead in feature film production, California has historically been home to the greatest concentration of film industry talent in the U.S., as well as an extensive web of ancillary products, infrastructure and services. But these days, California has competition. Production centers across the globe offer U.S. production companies an enticing combination of film incentives, a skilled workforce and available infrastructure. As a result, U.S. feature films are made all over the world. Among the unique advantages that the film industry provides to local economies are: 1. It is a high-wage industry. A recent report commissioned by the County of Los Angeles revealed that the average wage in the Film and Digital Media Industry in Los Angeles County is $117,000, which is 95 percent higher compared to the county-wide average of $59,900.1 2.

"To build or not to build": LEGO® Shakespeare™ and the Question of Creativity Sarah Hatchuel, University of Le Havre Nathalie Vienne-Guerrin, University Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3 Abstract This essay aims to explore the cultural stakes underlying the fleeting and almost incongruous Shakespearean presence in The LEGO Movie (2014), analyze the meeting of "LEGO" and "Shakespeare" in the cinematic and digital worlds, and suggest that at the heart of the connection between Shakespeare and LEGO lies the question of originality and creativity. "LEGO Shakespeare" evinces interesting modes of articulation between art and industry, production and consumption, high- brow culture and low-brow culture and invites us to study how Shakespeare is digested into and interacts with multi-layered cultural artifacts.

  • Ghosts, Spectres, Phantoms & the Places Where They Live
    Mobile Academy Warsaw 25th of August – 10th of September 2006 Ghosts, Spectres, Phantoms & The Places Where They Live Application Deadline 15th of June Mobile Academy Warsaw is a project by Hannah Hurtzig and Carolin Hochleichter in cooperation with TR Warszawa. The project takes place in the framework of Büro Kopernikus. German-Polish Cultural Projects, an initiative of the Kulturstiftung des Bundes (German Federal Cultural Foundation) www.mobileacademy-warsaw.com 3 Mobile Academy Warsaw: Ghosts, spectres, phantoms, and the places where they live The Mobile Academy has been on tour for seven years. It continually changes location, time, theme and form: a large-scale MA gathered 180 people together for 4 weeks for a temporally limited international imagined community (Bochum 1999/Berlin 2004), while the smallest version brought together two people – the artist and the client – for private lessons lasting one hour at public places in the city. For knowledge transfer, it can as- sume the character of a camp, an installation, a blind date or a marketplace. The courses at the Warsaw MA are attended by 100 participants and lecturers as well as a further 100 artists, theoreticians and experts for talks, excursions and private lessons. The slogan of the MA: "Constant intensity accompanied by growing doubt" indicates a wish for happy self-dissolving while simultaneously marking the learning strategy for participants: Overstrain and loss of orientation simultaneously accompanied by an in- creased ability to reflect. And to learn on the part of the lecturers: i.e. to find problems for existing solutions. The courses at the MA are structured as artistic projects, accom- panied by field research, debate, excursions and presentations.
