SONIC VOCALITY: A THEORY ON THE USE OF VOICE IN CHARACTER PORTRAYAL by CINDY ANN MILLIGAN Under the Direction of Patricia G. Davis, PhD ABSTRACT The primary purpose of this study was to discover whether and how the voice alone can change audiences’ perception of character in films. It further sought to determine some of the specific changes in vocal performance that might construct that difference. Data were gathered from three focus groups that screened film clips between two and five minutes long. The clips were edited from five pairs of matched films—an original and its remake. Films were chosen to represent a variety of genres and release dates, and they included scenes where the dialogue was identical or similar. Although each focus group experienced the same set of edited film clips from the matched film pairs, one group experienced only the sound without any visuals, a second group watched only the visuals of the same clips without any sound, and a third group watched the clips as they were produced with sound and visuals.

    Communitas MVCC Faculty/Staff Newsletter February 5, 2007 Yahnke’s roots run deep at MVCC David Yahnke began to set down roots at MVCC from the moment he expanded on his love to draw by matriculating into the College’s Advertising and Design Program in 1985. Upon receiving his A.A.S. degree in 1987, Mr. Yahnke went to work as a freelance graphic design illustrator, producing illustrations for several books, military bookshelf games and for private collectors of historical and military aircraft illustra- tions. During this time he was also employed at the Observer Dispatch as a graphic/mechanical paste-up technician. He returned to MVCC in 1995 to begin work on a second degree in graphic design and computer graphic design. Mr. Yahnke continued his education, receiving a bacca- laureate from Empire State College, focusing on computer graphic design. In 2003, he decided to enroll in the Master’s of Science in Information Design and Technology at SUNY- IT. He has completed his course work and thesis and will be awarded his Master’s degree this spring. While teaching at MVCC, Mr. Yahnke’s knowledge of the college’s history and staff enables him to provide insight to new and returning students regarding the institution’s oppor- tunities. He’s also brought new media innovations into his college seminar courses, including the introduction of student blogs, online journals. Students create their own blog sites, docu- menting what they are experiencing in their fi rst semester.

  • The Learning Curve Have Put Together a List of Fantastic Family Films Based on Children’S Books
    The Learning Curve have put together a list of fantastic family films based on children’s books. From page to the big screen, these are must see films for family movie night. So sit back, relax and pull up the popcorn and enjoy these children’s classics. Peter Pan (2003) Director: P. J. Hogan Starring: Jeremy Sumpter, Jason Isaacs & Olivia Williams The Darling family children, Wendy and Michael, are visited by Peter Pan, a boy who can fly. He and his mischievous fairy Tinkerbell take them to a fantasy world called Never Never Land, where an ongoing battle with the evil Pirate, Captain Hook takes place! P. J. Hogan is the Director that stays closest to J.M. Barrie’s source material, as with other versions they often have a twist in the tale. For example, what if Peter did grow up? Or they tell the story of how Peter got to Never Never Land. However, in this version they stay on point with the story and themes. Telling the actual story from the book and without adding a twist in the tale, makes for a refreshing take. Visually the movie is stunning, and Neverland is a blend of the creepy and magical. The music also brings the story to life. This story will be retold endlessly as Peter Pan will never grow old. We’re Going on a Bear Hunt (2016) Directors: Joanna Harrison & Robin Shaw Starring: Elsie Cavalier, Olivia Colman & Pam Ferris Stan, Katie, Rosie, Max, the baby and Rufus the dog decide to go on an adventure in search of a bear.

  • For Kids, the Natural World Can Be a Place of Peace, Health and Inspiration—And Can Launch a Lifetime Passion for Conserva
    2020 HIGHLIGHTS & 2019 ANNUAL REPORT © Joe © Joe Lawrence “For kids, the natural world can be a place of peace, health and inspiration—and can launch a lifetime passion for conservation.” © Ezekiel Siegrist © Ezekiel - Richard Louv, “Last Child in the Woods” An Amazing Gift The healing power of nature hat a year it has been. The ups and downs, the uncertainty, the need to continually adapt. Here at the land trust, we too Whave been transitioning and finding new ways to connect with each other, our friends and families, and people like you. In our region, there’s a growing recognition of the importance of neighborhood conservation areas, and how they are central to our health and quality of life. For so many of us they have become places where families and friends can connect after work or church, listen to owls, watch frogs with their kids or grandkids, or simply relax after a busy day. 2 Yet, even in Tug Hill and the surrounding region, there aren’t many places that provide easy, accessible, close-to-home, nature experiences. It’s one of the reasons why we, as a land trust, are working to establish new neighborhood conservation areas as part of our strategic conservation efforts. Providing nature close to home That’s why I’m particularly honored to announce an extraordinarily generous gift of land by Dr. Marvin Reimer and his family. Dr. Reimer knows how important nature is to the health of our community. A retired pediatrician, “We enjoyed the land, he has spent much of his career caring for children in Jefferson County.
