  • Came the Dawn : Memories of a Film Pioneer
    ICIL M. HEPWORTH a film pioneer The Dawn comes to Flicker Alley Still a familiar figure in Wardour Street, Mr. Cecil Hepworth is a pioneer of British Cinema. In his autobiography he has a fascinating story to tell. They were simpler, sunnier days. Hepworth began in the 'showmanship' period in the late 'nineties, carrying his forty-second films to lecture-halls all over the country, where frenzied audiences demanded their repetition many times at a sitting. From the 'fairground' period he helped nurse the cinema to the time of the great Hepworth Company at its Walton-on- Thames studios. To those studios came famous stage actors, men of mark in many fields, anxious to try the new medium. In those studios many 'stars' of yesterday made world-wide reputations: Alma Taylor, Chrissie White, Gerald Ames, Ronald Colman, Violet Hopson, Stewart Rome, names remembered with deep affection four decades later. From Walton-on-Thames films were dispatched in quantity to the world, even to the United States before the Hollywood era. Conditions, if not primitive, were rudi- mentary in the earlier days; the grandiose notions of the industry today were un- dreamt of; and, most marvellous of all, leading actors and actresses played for as little as half a guinea a day (including fares), and were not averse to doing sorting, filing and running errands in their spare time.

  • Marc Brennan Thesis
    Writing to Reach You: The Consumer Music Press and Music Journalism in the UK and Australia Marc Brennan, BA (Hons) Creative Industries Research and Applications Centre (CIRAC) Thesis Submitted for the Completion of Doctor of Philosophy (Creative Industries), 2005 Writing to Reach You Keywords Journalism, Performance, Readerships, Music, Consumers, Frameworks, Publishing, Dialogue, Genre, Branding Consumption, Production, Internet, Customisation, Personalisation, Fragmentation Writing to Reach You: The Consumer Music Press and Music Journalism in the UK and Australia The music press and music journalism are rarely subjected to substantial academic investigation. Analysis of journalism often focuses on the production of news across various platforms to understand the nature of politics and public debate in the contemporary era. But it is not possible, nor is it necessary, to analyse all emerging forms of journalism in the same way for they usually serve quite different purposes. Music journalism, for example, offers consumer guidance based on the creation and maintenance of a relationship between reader and writer. By focusing on the changing aspects of this relationship, an analysis of music journalism gives us an understanding of the changing nature of media production, media texts and media readerships. Music journalism is dialogue. It is a dialogue produced within particular critical frameworks that speak to different readers of the music press in different ways. These frameworks are continually evolving and reflect the broader social trajectory in which music journalism operates. Importantly, the evolving nature of music journalism reveals much about the changing consumption of popular music. Different types of consumers respond to different types of guidance that employ a variety of critical approaches.

  • Discourses on Public Library Cuts: an Analysis of Media Representations of Public Library Campaigns
    WHAT DO WE STAND TO LOSE? DISCOURSES ON PUBLIC LIBRARY CUTS: AN ANALYSIS OF MEDIA REPRESENTATIONS OF PUBLIC LIBRARY CAMPAIGNS. A study submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Librarianship at THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD by KATHRYN FLETCHER September 2011 ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank the following people for their involvement in this project: Barbara Sen, for her guidance and support. My family, for their encouragement. iii Abstract Background. The campaigns against library cuts formed the background to this dissertation. Library professionals have expressed concern over the helpfulness of some of the media coverage of the campaigns to the public library cause, and the researcher was interested in exploring whether this concern was legitimate. Aims. The aim of this dissertation was to analyse national newspaper coverage of public libraries generated by the campaigns. An initial objective was to determine the extent and scope of coverage of the campaigns over a sample period. The second (and primary) objective was to identify key discourses in the library debate, and to determine the key actors involved in constructing these discourses. A final objective was to consider the implications of the findings of the study for public library services of the future. Methods. Data was collected from a search of national newspapers on the Lexis Library News database. A sample of 68 articles was collected, 55 of which were deemed suitable for in-depth analysis. A mixed methods approach to analysis was taken, with the researcher employing reciprocal content analysis (quantitative) and situational analysis (qualitative).

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.
