  • Kinotipp: „End of Watch“ – Zwei Streifen-Cops Kämpfen in L.A
    Thema: Kinotipp: „End Of Watch“ – Zwei Streifen-Cops kämpfen in L.A. gegen ein mächtiges Drogenkartell Beitrag: 1:23 Minuten Anmoderationsvorschlag: South Central Los Angeles ist das Revier der Streifen-Cops Brian Taylor und Mike Zavala: Zwei Freunde, die füreinander durchs Feuer gehen. Im Kinofilm „End of Watch“ gibt Regisseur David Ayer einen atemberaubenden Einblick in den harten Alltag amerikanischer Großstadtpolizisten zwischen häuslicher Gewalt, Bandenkrieg, Drogen und Waffenhandel. Und mit einem kleinen Trick ist der Zuschauer immer mitten drin im Geschehen: Ein Teil der Szenen wird nämlich von den Darstellern selbst gefilmt. Uwe Hohmeyer berichtet. O-Ton 1 (End Of Watch, 0:09 Min.): Atmo „Verfolgungsjagd“… „Dreizehn X-Neun verfolgt gestohlenes Fahrzeug, halten Kontakt, Richtung Westen auf der 27sten…. Ich hab ihn, ich hab ihn. Versuch‘s doch, versuch doch, abzuhauen!“ „Fahr ihm rein. Fahr ihm rein, fahr ihm rein.“ „Booom!“ Sprecher: Brian Taylor und Mike Zavala riskieren jeden Tag im Hexenkessel von South Central Los Angeles ihr Leben - und genau das macht sie zu mehr als Partnern. O-Ton 2 (End Of Watch, 0:02 Min.): „Wir sind Brüder.” „Ich würd mein Leben für dich geben.“ Sprecher: Nur mithilfe Ihrer Familien gelingt es ihnen, den stressigen Job zu vergessen - und weil sie Freunde sind, besprechen sie während der nächtlichen Streifenfahrten ab und zu sogar private Dinge. O-Ton 3 (End Of Watch, 0:14 Min.): „Also, es wird superernst zwischen Janet und mir. Sie will bei mir einziehen. Aber ihre Eltern wollen...die sind sowas von altmodisch.“ „Ach ja?" „Aber wir könnten ja sagen, wir sind verlobt.“ „Oh wow, Sekunde mal.

According to the Census Bureau, minorities featuring minority actors are classified as either composed 37.4% of the U.S. population in 2013, up ‘nonwhite films’ or ‘black films,’ with black films defined from 32.6% in 2004.3 Despite this, a study from USC’s as movies featuring predominantly black actors with Media, Diversity, & Social Change Initiative found that white actors playing peripheral roles.

  • Why Found Footage Horror Films Matter : Introduction
    Why Found Footage Horror Films Matter : Introduction Peter Turner, Oxford Brookes University The cinematic image of a young woman staring into the camera – crying, hyperventilating, and talking directly to her audience – has become the definitive image of The Blair Witch Project (Myrick and Sanchez, 1999). It is arguably the most famous scene, and certainly the most parodied image of found footage horror cinema in general, perhaps even one of the defining images of cinema in the 1990s. This character, Heather Donahue, is played by a hitherto unknown actress called Heather Donahue, in her feature debut. From what we see on screen, and the manner in which her monologue is delivered, it can be inferred that she is not reciting scripted lines. She does not seem to be acting; her fear appears genuine. Heather is alone in a dark tent, shooting this footage herself with a handheld camera. The shot did not look like most other horror films that had been previously shown in cinemas; it is poorly framed, poorly lit, and the character knows and acknowledges that she is on camera. There had been previous films in this style: Cannibal Holocaust (Deodato, 1980) contains the use of ‘found footage’ within its narrative structure, and Man Bites Dog (Belvaux, Bonzel and Poelvoorde, 1992) is a mock-documentary that purports to be completely filmed by a diegetic film crew. However, neither of these films had the cultural impact or box office success of The Blair Witch Project, a film that eventually spawned numerous imitators, and arguably the entire found footage horror sub- genre that now consists of hundreds of films.1 There is a straightforward economic reason why filmmakers continue to produce found footage horror films.

  • An Investigation of Priming, Self-Consciousness, and Allegiance in the Diegetic Camera Horror Film
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Oxford Brookes University: RADAR An investigation of priming, self-consciousness, and allegiance in the diegetic camera horror film by Peter Turner A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the award of Doctor of Philosophy by Oxford Brookes University Submitted June 2017 Statement of originality Some of the discussion of The Blair Witch Project throughout this thesis has formed the basis for a book, Devil’s Advocates: The Blair Witch Project (Auteur, 2014). Some of the discussion of priming in chapter four was also used in a conference paper, Behind the Camera: Priming the Spectator of Found Footage Horror, delivered at The Society for Cognitive Studies of the Moving Image in 2015. Sections on personal imagining also formed the basis of a conference paper, Personal Imagining and the Point-of-View Shot in Diegetic Camera Horror Films, delivered at The Society for Cognitive Studies of the Moving Image in 2017. Finally, significant amounts of Chapter 3 and Chapter 5 will be featured in two chapters of an upcoming edited collection on found footage horror films with the working title [Rec] Terror: Essays on Found Footage Horror Films. i Abstract The main research question underpinning this study asks why and how the diegetic camera technique has become so popular to both contemporary horror filmmakers and audiences. In order to answer this question, this thesis adopts a mainly cognitive theoretical framework in order to address the mental schemata and processes that are elicited and triggered by these films.

  • The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – the Touring Years
    1 THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK – THE TOURING YEARS Release Dates U.S. Theatrical Release September 16 SVOD September 17 U.K., France and Germany (September 15). Australia and New Zealand (September 16) Japan (September 22) www.thebeatleseightdaysaweek.com #thebeatleseightdaysaweek Official Twitter handle: @thebeatles Facebook: facebook.com/thebeatles YouTube: youtube.com/thebeatles Official Beatles website: www.thebeatles.com PREFACE One of the prospects that drew Ron Howard to this famous story was the opportunity to give a whole new generation of people an insightful glimpse at what happened to launch this extraordinary phenomenon. One generation – the baby boomers - had a chance to grow up with The Beatles, and their children perhaps only know them vicariously through their parents. As the decades have passed The Beatles are still as popular as ever across all these years, even though many of the details of this story have become blurred. We may assume that all Beatles’ fans know the macro-facts about the group. The truth is, however, only a small fraction are familiar with the ins and outs of the story, and of course, each new generation learns about The Beatles first and foremost, from their music. So, this film is a chance to reintroduce a seminal moment in the history of culture, and to use the distance of time, to give us the chance to think about “the how and the why” this happened as it did. So, while this film has a lot of fascinating new material and research, first and foremost, it is a film for those who were “not there”, especially the millennials.
