  • Film, Photojournalism, and the Public Sphere in Brazil and Argentina, 1955-1980
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: MODERNIZATION AND VISUAL ECONOMY: FILM, PHOTOJOURNALISM, AND THE PUBLIC SPHERE IN BRAZIL AND ARGENTINA, 1955-1980 Paula Halperin, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Professor Barbara Weinstein Department of History University of Maryland, College Park My dissertation explores the relationship among visual culture, nationalism, and modernization in Argentina and Brazil in a period of extreme political instability, marked by an alternation of weak civilian governments and dictatorships. I argue that motion pictures and photojournalism were constitutive elements of a modern public sphere that did not conform to the classic formulation advanced by Jürgen Habermas. Rather than treating the public sphere as progressively degraded by the mass media and cultural industries, I trace how, in postwar Argentina and Brazil, the increased production and circulation of mass media images contributed to active public debate and civic participation. With the progressive internationalization of entertainment markets that began in the 1950s in the modern cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires there was a dramatic growth in the number of film spectators and production, movie theaters and critics, popular magazines and academic journals that focused on film. Through close analysis of images distributed widely in international media circuits I reconstruct and analyze Brazilian and Argentine postwar visual economies from a transnational perspective to understand the constitution of the public sphere and how modernization, Latin American identity, nationhood, and socio-cultural change and conflict were represented and debated in those media. Cinema and the visual after World War II became a worldwide locus of production and circulation of discourses about history, national identity, and social mores, and a space of contention and discussion of modernization.

  • Black and White Conversion
    From www.adobe.com/designcenter Product used Adobe Photoshop CS2 Black and White Conversion “One sees differently with color photography than black and white...in short, visualization must be modified by the specific nature of the equipment and materials being used.” –Ansel Adams The original color image. (left) The adjusted black and white conversion. (center) The final color toned black and white image. (right) Seeing in black and white Black and white conversions are radical transformations of images. They’re about reestablishing the tonal founda- tions of an image. That’s quite different than dodging and burning, or lightening and darkening locally, which is a matter of accentuating existing tonal relationships. The Channels palette shows the red, green, and blue components of a color image. Each channel offers a useful black and white interpretation of the color image that you can use to adjust the color. The key concept is for you to use the color channels as black and white layers. 2 Conversion methods There are almost a dozen ways to convert an image from color to black and white; and you can probably find at least one expert to support each way as the best conversion method. The bottom line is that most conversion methods work reasonably well. The method that works best for you depends on your particular workflow and the tools that you’re comfortable with. The following method isn’t necessarily the best and it isn’t the fastest—it generates a larger file—but it offers you the most control and flexibility. Creating layers from channels offers you more control than any other conversion method.

  • Title: Conquering Information Literacy, Conan the Librarian Public Library
    Title: Conquering Information Literacy, Conan the Librarian Public Library Audience: Public Library Patrons Grades 4th-7th Designers’ Names: Designed by Marie Cirelli, Gweneth Morton, and Andy Wolverton 1. Rationale for instruction: An information literate student can be defined as “one who accesses information efficiently and effectively, critically evaluates the information, and uses it accurately and creatively” (Grassian and Kaplowitz, 2009, p. 4). With the information explosion on the Internet, it is becoming more difficult and more important to be information literate. The public library can play a vital role in the education of its patrons by offering them the opportunity to learn and master the skills needed to be considered information literate. The mission of a public library is to provide information, support lifelong learning, and enrich the lives of its patrons. Based on experience with the patrons of the library and the mission of the library, an information literacy course for students in grades 4th-7th is being developed as a way to further support our patrons and meet the mission of the library. 2. Goal and objectives: Goal: The learner will understand how to search for and evaluate information from a variety of sources. Objective 1: The learner will apply the I-LEARN model. Objective 2: The learner will locate appropriate sources using the Internet and OPAC. Objective 3: The learner will apply the previously found information. Overview 1. Brief summary of unit: The unit is a three-day program in which students learn how to search for and evaluate information from a variety of sources. The program is structured for a younger age group and focuses on hands-on learning and immediate feedback.

  • 4. Reconfigurations of Screen Borders: the New Or Not-So-New Aspect Ratios
    4. Reconfigurations of Screen Borders: The New or Not-So-New Aspect Ratios Miriam Ross Abstract The ubiquity of mobile phone cameras has resulted in many videos foregoing the traditional horizontal (landscape) frame in favour of a vertical (portrait) mode. While vertical framing is often derided as amateur practice, these new framing techniques are part of a wider contemporary screen culture in which filmmakers and artists are using unconventional aspect ratios and/or expanding and contracting aspect ratios over the course of their audio-visual work. This chapter briefly outlines historical contexts in which the border of the screen has been more flexible and open to changing configurations than is widely acknowledged. It then uses recent case studies to consider how our understanding of on-screen and off-screen space is determined by these framing configurations. Keywords: Aspect ratios, embodiment, framing, cinema In recent years, the increasing ubiquity of mobile phone videos has drawn attention to a radical challenge to traditional screen culture. It is not just that a wide variety of amateur users now have a filmmaking device at their fingertips—rather, that many of them are foregoing the more than a century- long norm for shooting with a horizontal frame. Appearing on social media sites such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter as well as in commercial news broadcasts, their footage stands tall in a vertical format. When replayed on horizontal screens, the startling strangeness of wide black bands on either side of the content focuses attention on the border of the frame as well as seem- ingly absent screen space.

  • Critical Study on History of International Cinema
    Critical Study on History of International Cinema *Dr. B. P. Mahesh Chandra Guru Professor, Department of Studies in Communication and Journalism, University of Mysore, Manasagangotri Karnataka India ** Dr.M.S.Sapna ***M.Prabhudevand **** Mr.M.Dileep Kumar India ABSTRACT The history of film began in the 1820s when the British Royal Society of Surgeons made pioneering efforts. In 1878 Edward Muybridge, an American photographer, did make a series of photographs of a running horse by using a series of cameras with glass plate film and fast exposure. By 1893, Thomas A. Edison‟s assistant, W.K.L.Dickson, developed a camera that made short 35mm films.In 1894, the Limiere brothers developed a device that not only took motion pictures but projected them as well in France. The first use of animation in movies was in 1899, with the production of the short film. The use of different camera speeds also appeared around 1900 in the films of Robert W. Paul and Hepworth.The technique of single frame animation was further developed in 1907 by Edwin S. Porter in the Teddy Bears. D.W. Griffith had the highest standing among American directors in the industry because of creative ventures. The years of the First World War were a complex transitional period for the film industry. By the 1920s, the United States had emerged as a prominent film making country. By the middle of the 19th century a variety of peephole toys and coin machines such as Zoetrope and Mutoscope appeared in arcade parlors throughout United States and Europe. By 1930, the film industry considerably improved its technical resources for reproducing sound.

  • The Hour of the Dragon by Robert E
    The Hour of the Dragon By Robert E. Howard Chapter 1: O Sleeper, Awake! THE LONG TAPERS flickered, sending the black shadows wavering along the walls, and the velvet tapestries rippled. Yet there was no wind in the chamber. Four men stood about the ebony table on which lay the green sarcophagus that gleamed like carven jade. In the upraised right hand of each man a curious black candle burned with a weird greenish light. Outside was night and a lost wind moaning among the black trees. Inside the chamber was tense silence, and the wavering of the shadows, while four pairs of eyes, burning with intensity, were fixed on the long green case across which cryptic hieroglyphics writhed, as if lent life and movement by the unsteady light. The man at the foot of the sarcophagus leaned over it and moved his candle as if he were writing with a pen, inscribing a mystic symbol’ in the air. Then he set down the candle in its black gold stick at the foot of the case, and, mumbling some formula unintelligible to his companions, he thrust a broad white hand into his fur-trimmed robe. When he brought it forth again it was as if he cupped in his palm a ball of living fire. The other three drew in their breath sharply, and the dark, powerful man who stood at the head of the sarcophagus whispered: “The Heart of Ahriman!” The other lifted a quick hand for silence. Somewhere a dog began howling dolefully, and a stealthy step padded outside the barred and bolted door.

  • The Experimental Film Remake and the Digital Archive Effect: a Movie by Jen Proctor and Man with a Movie Camera: the Global Remake
    The Experimental Film Remake and the Digital Archive Effect: A Movie by Jen Proctor and Man with a Movie Camera: The Global Remake Jaimie Baron When we think of fi lm remakes, what come to mind are likely Hollywood narratives reproduced with new stars, more special eff ects, and bigger budgets, whose producers hope to cash in on a tried and true formula “updated” to suit the tastes of contemporary audiences. Recently, however, a number of experimental fi lmmakers have chosen quite diff erent sources to “update.” Over the past few years fi lmmakers Jennifer Proctor and Perry Bard have returned to classics of experimental fi lm to “remake” these provocative works in and for the digital era. Jennifer Proctor’s A Movie by Jen Proctor (US, 2010) uses images from online fi le-sharing sites to mimic Bruce Conner’s classic 1958 experimental fi lm A Movie, while Perry Bard’s Man with a Movie Camera: Th e Global Remake (ongoing since 2008) uses online interactive soft ware to allow users worldwide to upload images and participate in a collective, daily remake of Dziga Vertov’s seminal 1929 fi lm Man with a Movie Camera. Given that experimental fi lm oft en encourages the viewer to explore the very experience of viewing a fi lm, these digitally based remakes of experimental fi lms inevitably draw attention not only to how the world that is imaged within them has changed but also to how our experiences of that world through its reproduction as image have been altered by digital media.
