Este hallazgo esconde un gran acontecimiento que para unos cuantos es una esperanza que puede dar sentido a sus vidas, para otros −pretendidamente− algo a silenciar, o cuanto menos controlar por ser algo subversivo, que puede romper en pedazos el orden de las cosas, y para K una indagación de sus propios orígenes que puede dar o quitarle el sentido a su vida. El mundo que nos muestra Blade Runner es una distopia: una proyección hacía el futuro de lo contrario a la arcadia feliz que preconizaban los románticos y revolucionarios.

Since the action took place in a boat on the open sea, where would the music come from? Raksin reportedly responded by asking Hitchcock where the cameras came from. This course examines film sound practices, focusing on cross-modal perception and cognition: on ways in which sounds influence what we “see” and images influence what we “hear.” Classes are conducted in a lecture format and involve multimedia demonstrations. We will be tackling the following questions: • How and why does music and sound effects work in films? • How did they come to be paired with the motion picture? • How did film sound conventions develop and what are their theoretical, socio-cultural, and cognitive bases? • How does non-speech sound contribute to a film’s narrative and how can such contribution be creatively explored? Aesthetics of the Motion Picture Soundtrack – Spring 2014 – Section 01 Page 1 of 12 COURSE DESCRIPTION & OBJECTIVES Course examines Classical Hollywood as well as more recent film soundtrack practices, focusing on the interpretation of film sound relative to ‘expectancy’ theories of meaning and emotion.

  • Is the Ultimate Collective Filmmaking Experience
    SPRINGSTEEN & I “SPRINGSTEEN & I” is the ultimate collective filmmaking experience - for the people and by the people, which will culminate in a unique feature musicdocumentary set to be released in cinemas across the world in 2013. The production team will edit the footage to feature length and are therefore requesting that submissions be raw footage rather than edited material. As well as moving image accounts on camera, the filmmakers are looking for fans to provide photographs, old footage or audio narration to help them build up a picture of what the acclaimed songwriter and musician means to them. Movie and image files will be able to be quickly uploaded through the film’s website www.springsteenandi.com by following simple online instructions. Ideally, the higher quality the footage the better, but the producers stress that any equipment, from smartphones to hi-def cameras are accepted – as long as they are all UNDER 5 MINUTES IN LENGTH. Anything longer and participants will need to contact the production team to agree on delivery methods. About director Baillie Walsh Baillie Walsh has created many iconic videos for artists such as Kylie Minogue, Massive Attack and INXS alongside award-winning commercial campaigns for Levis, Sony and a hologram of Kate Moss for Alexander McQueen. Baillieʼs film work includes Mirror Mirror – Limitation of Life, which drew international acclaim and was selected for the Berlin and Toronto International Film Festivals and Lord Donʼt Slow Me Down, a fly-on-the-wall look at the band Oasis as well as the feature drama Flashbacks Of A Fool which he both wrote and directed.

    Company List Film/ Entertainment Before You Begin Use this list of companies to begin your internship or job search in the entertainment industry. The list is broad and includes companies in film and television (development, production, distribution, equipment, agencies), animation, advertising, and more. As you review the list, consider your internship or job search strategy. If you’re searching for an internship, you will have a shorter, targeted list. If you’re searching for full-time employment, you may want to consider creating a list of your favorite companies, a list of companies that you would enjoy working at, and an alternate company list. We advise exploring and applying to opportunities at all of the companies on your list. Take this scenario You’ve just graduated from ArtCenter with a BFA or MFA in Film and your concentration was cinematography. • Plan A Your main goal is to apply to freelance Director of Photography roles that you find through Staff Me Up, Mandy, Industry Facebook groups, ArtCenter Connect, or personal references. Initially, you may not generate enough income to pay for all of your expenses, in which case you’ll need to look for additional part-time or full-time work. • Plan B In order to support yourself while you’re building your freelance career, you apply to administrative roles at below-the- line agencies that represent cinematographers. While working at a below-the-line agency, you’ll likely make valuable contacts who can offer career advice. However, these positions are also hard to land, so it’s important to research additional opportunities.

  • In Celebration of National Engineers Week in February 2015, the U.S. National Academy of Engineering (NAE) and the University Of
    In celebration of National Engineers Week in February 2015, the U.S. National Academy of Engineering (NAE) and the University of Southern California’s Viterbi School of Engineering (USC Viterbi), in collaboration with The MacGyver Foundation and Lee Zlotoff (creator of the TV series MacGyver), launched a worldwide crowdsourcing competition called “The Next MacGyver.” The contest was launched at a press event in Washington, D.C., hosted by "TODAY Show" digital lifestyle expert Mario Armstrong. Sponsored by the United Engineering Foundation, the project sought ideas for a scripted television show featuring a female engineer character in a leading role. The goal of the competition is to create a historic TV series that inspires young people, especially women, to pursue careers in engineering. Almost 2,000 submissions were received and, through a screening process involving judges from both engineering and entertainment, 12 finalists have been selected. The finalists hail from as far away as Australia and include practitioners and scholars in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields, seasoned and first-time writers, students, and an Internet personality. Show concepts include: science fiction thriller, comedy, classic spy, historical, and interactive crime drama. During a live pitch event in Los Angeles, Ca., on July 28, the 12 finalists will present their show ideas along with concept art before an esteemed panel of judges. Five winners will earn the rare opportunity to be mentored by successful Hollywood TV producers and engineering experts in developing their pilot scripts, in addition to receiving a prize of $5,000 each. A special panel session “From Script to Screen,” illuminating the process of taking a TV show concept from idea to pilot, will take place during the event while the judges are deliberating.
