Un mezzo che, nel mio caso personale, non esiterei a definire decisamente "improprio". Proprio per questo, ben conoscendo i miei limiti, ho deciso di scrivere le mie parole e di farmi sostenere con la proiezione di qualche film. Prima di iniziare desidero però ringraziare sentitamente il Magnifico Rettore, professor Alberto Castoldi, e tutti coloro che mi hanno proposto per questa onorificenza, che rappresenta per me, per la mia professione e per tutti i collaboratori uno dei momenti più gratificanti. Desidero innanzitutto cogliere questa bella opportunità per ricordare pubblicamente la figura di mio padre Umberto, una persona straordinaria, senza il cui aiuto morale e finanziario non avrei mai potuto intraprendere questa attività. Nella vita la fortuna gioca sempre un ruolo fondamentale, e probabilmente tutti noi, se non ci fossimo trovati nel luogo giusto al momento giusto, avremmo scelto altre carriere ed altre direzioni. La mia grande fortuna è stata quella di nascere in una splendida famiglia com'era la mia, con un padre eccezionale, creativo, dinamico e soprattutto lungimirante, che ha sempre rappresentato per me, oggi come allora, una fonte inesauribile d'ispirazione, da cui ho attinto idee, spirito critico e soprattutto il coraggio di intraprendere una carriera così particolare ed a quei tempi così poco promettente.

    Issues of Image and Performance in the Beatles' Films

    “All I’ve got to do is Act Naturally”: Issues of Image and Performance in the Beatles’ Films Submitted by Stephanie Anne Piotrowski, AHEA, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English (Film Studies), 01 October 2008. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which in not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (signed)…………Stephanie Piotrowski ……………… Piotrowski 2 Abstract In this thesis, I examine the Beatles’ five feature films in order to argue how undermining generic convention and manipulating performance codes allowed the band to control their relationship with their audience and to gain autonomy over their output. Drawing from P. David Marshall’s work on defining performance codes from the music, film, and television industries, I examine film form and style to illustrate how the Beatles’ filmmakers used these codes in different combinations from previous pop and classical musicals in order to illicit certain responses from the audience. In doing so, the role of the audience from passive viewer to active participant changed the way musicians used film to communicate with their fans. I also consider how the Beatles’ image changed throughout their career as reflected in their films as a way of charting the band’s journey from pop stars to musicians, while also considering the social and cultural factors represented in the band’s image.

  • The Uses of Animation 1

    The Uses of Animation 1

    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

Scissors Make Films” By Lotte Reiniger, Sight and Sound, Spring 1936 I will attempt to answer the questions, which I am nearly always asked by people who watch me making the silhouettes. Firstly: How on earth did you get the idea? And secondly: How do they move, and why are your hands not seen on screen? The answer to the first is to be found in the short and simple history of my own life. I never had the feeling that my silhouette cutting was an idea. It so happened that I could always do it quite easily, as you will see from what follows. I could cut silhouettes almost as soon as I could manage to hold a pair of scissors.

More specifically I thank Martin for always believing that my illustration practice could generate a picturebook, and Morag for all her advice on my writing. Emily Ford, editor at Macmillan Children’s Books for her belief in Monkey and Bird. Together with Jo Spooner, designer, they have given me constructive feedback for the development of the picturebook. My friends Paola Parise, Joanna and Iain McGregor, Darren Raven, and Katerina Athanassopoulou for their advice. My family in Greece, and especially my sister Sofia, for the support they have offered me so that I could find the time and energy to work on this project. My children, Dimitri and Anna who are a constant source of inspiration. Dimitri has inspired the characters in this project and I am sure that Anna will inspire more. Above all I am grateful to my husband Andreas Tsanakas for his unlimited and unwavering patience, support, and encouragement. This project is dedicated to him.
