  • Using Deleuze: the Cinema Books, Film Studies and Effect
    USING DELEUZE: THE CINEMA BOOKS, FILM STUDIES AND EFFECT Dyrk Ashton A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2006 Committee: Cynthia Baron, Chair Patrick Pauken, Graduate Faculty Representative Donald Callen Jonathan Chambers Ronald Shields © 2006 Dyrk Ashton All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Cynthia Baron, Advisor Since their publication, Deleuze’s Cinema 1: The Movement-Image (French 1983, English 1986) and Cinema 2: The Time-Image (French 1985, English 1989) have held a precarious position in Anglophone film studies. The difficulties of the cinema books are pointed out by many, a broad range of complaints have been leveled against them, and their usefulness has been widely questioned. There has, however, been an increase in interest in the cinema books among Anglophone film scholars over the last few years. Still, many of the “complaints” and “concerns” about the cinema books remain. A guiding principal of this dissertation is to provide a “way in” to Deleuze’s work in the cinema books, or a key to assist in unlocking and unpacking Deleuze’s cinema project. To this end, I have analyzed Deleuze’s approach in the cinema books, their style, methodology, rationale and theoretical framework, utilizing Theodor Adorno’s concept of “parataxis” because I believe it illuminates his metaphysics. I have also explicated key elements of Deleuze’s Bergson-inspired metaphysics, concentrating on what I feel are fundamental aspects that aid in a clarification of “movement-images” and “time-images.” A key concept that I utilized in this endeavor is Deleuze’s “crystal-image” because I maintain that the characteristics of crystal-images are the very foundation of all time- images.

  • The Writer, Director, and Producer
    The writer, director, and producer Specific learning outcomes Students will: • understand the process of developing this script. • examine how a scene in the play has been developed by the director. • understand the writer’s purpose in developing this play. [These learning outcomes relate to the Communication and Interpreting in Drama (CI) and Understanding Drama in Context (UC) strands in The Arts in the New Zealand Curriculum.] History of the play The Bellbird is set in Marlborough in the early 1870s. The idea for the play came from three letters Stephen Sinclair discovered while he was translating Māori manuscripts in the National Archives some years ago. The letters were in English, from a Pākehā woman who was writing to the Native Affairs Department appealing for assistance. The woman explained that she had been married to a Māori who had recently died. Her deceased husband’s family wanted nothing to do with her, and as she had married a Māori she was not welcomed back into the local Pākehā community. She had no one else she could turn to for support. The Bellbird, though based on a real-life situation, is fictional. The letters gave no information about the woman and her background, beyond the immediate urgency of her situation. The events in her life leading up to the letters, and all the other characters, are imaginary. There is extensive use of Māori throughout the play, however nothing of significance is conveyed in Māori that is not also either expressed in English or communicated non-verbally through the actions of the actors.

  • The Caged Feminine and Gendered Space in the Lord of the Rings
    Éowyn the Unintended: The Caged Feminine and Gendered Space in The Lord of the Rings by William Henry Harrison B. A. (Hon.), Carleton University, 1989 B. Th., St. Paul University/University of Ottawa, 1992 Ph. D. Boston College, 2000 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) September 2013 © William Henry Harrison, 2013 ii Abstract As Alexandra Ganser points out, in the West, freedom of the road has tended to be a prerogative of males; this is as true in the novelistic imagination as it is in the streets. The Lord of the Rings (LotR) is a novel of the road. In it, J. R. R. Tolkien maintains a firm gendering of spaces, as Ganser theorizes. Women may not take to the road or enter the battlefield, except under male direction and supervision. Éowyn is the exception to this rule, but one that highlights the existence of the rule. Initially, Tolkien planned Éowyn as a warrior who would ride openly as a woman, beside Aragorn, the King whom Éowyn would marry. Éowyn was planned as a heroine, who overcomes a Nazgûl by her own strength. However, this is not the Éowyn whom Tolkien wrote. Instead, she feels caged in Rohan, but is refused permission to take the road or the battlefield. To escape, she disguises herself in the visible cage of male armour and goes to war. Once there, Éowyn fights the Nazgûl, but wins only because a male defeats the spell sustaining the enemy.

  • Shane Krause Exegesis
    Not Welcome: Writing Horror in Australia S.P. Krause A feature film screenplay and exegesis submitted for the requirements of the Master of Arts (Research). Faculty of Creative Industries Queensland University of Technology 2005 ii Keywords Producers, Projects, Writing, Pitching, Drama, Screenplay, Horror. iii iv Abstract “Not Welcome” is a thesis containing an original dark genre screenplay called Acolytes and an exegesis called “Not Welcome”: Writing Horror in Australia. The screenplay is about two boys, victims of years of bullying, who find a way to rid themselves of their bully for good, exchanging one problem for something much worse. But it’s an elaborate and calculated lie. The truth is Acolytes is about the concealment of a crime and not the vengeance of a victim. Acolytes is intentionally moody, oppressive and obtuse—it has a true crime-scene ambience. The power of the story lies in its truth— the truth that it seeks to uncover and the truth of the style of its telling—and, just as is the case with real-life crime, the “truth” is often murky and far from clear-cut. The accompanying exegesis explores the domestic funding and production climate for dark genre projects. It argues that Australian genre scriptwriters and filmmakers have often faced hostile funding agencies and genre-timid producers. It examines the requirements of dark genre scriptwriters and filmmakers in bringing their work from page to screen. It argues that the onus is on Australian dark genre writers and filmmakers to think beyond funding agencies and institutionalised Australian producers to realise their projects.

However, without knowing the words, an actor cannot do in-depth work. With the following tips in your memorization arsenal, monologue preparation will be a painless process… It’s a Pick ‘em Game The first step in monologue memorization is the selection process. This is the foundation of preparation and affects all steps of the process, including memorization speed.
