Writing for Mad Men Alum, Husband Talk Shop at BU Writing for Mad Men Alum, husband talk shop at BU !"#$ #%&'(), *+,( AMC’s critically acclaimed series Mad Men returned to television, the show’s creators worried that its 17-month hiatus would cost them many viewers. They could hardly have been more wrong. Critics hailed the season premiere, and millions tuned in to the lives of Don Draper, Roger Sterling, and Joan Harris. The executive producers and writing team behind many of these story lines, husband and wife André Jacquemetton and Maria Jacquemetton (COM’85), came to Mad Men through their friendship with creator and showrunner Matthew Weiner. The three met in a Los Angeles writing group when they were all working as assistants, recalls Maria Jacquemetton. “We would pitch to each other, and if one of us was working on a particular script, we would exchange pages, give notes, and just act like a support group,” she says. “Over the years, various members of the group found success.

  • Game of Thrones
    OF MONSTERS Best looks on the small screen By Joe Nazzaro hoto by Jordin Althaus/AMC AND MEN P elevision really has become the new frontier as far as high-quality drama is concerned. Not only have numerous filmmakers made the increasingly effortless jump from big to small screen, but with the growing influence of on-demand programming, Tpay (and basic) cable and new means of content delivery popping up all the time, the quality gap between film and television is virtually imperceptible. With that in mind, Make-Up Artist catches up with a handful of today’s top small-screen series, from a departing favorite to a surprise streaming sensation. GAME OF THRONES ith Season Five of the fantasy series airing on HBO, and Season Six headed into production, it’s a busy time for prosthetic supervisor WBarrie Gower, who won an Emmy for the fourth-season episode “The Children” with make-up department head Jane Walker. “Going into Season Five, we felt much more confident about whatever they could throw at us, but it was probably double the amount of work as Season Four,” Gower says. “Episode eight, which is called ‘Hardhome,’ was on the scale of a huge movie, so this season has been a massive undertaking. “Our main returning character this season was the king of the White Walkers, called the Night’s King, played by Richard Brake, as well as three new White Walkers, all played by stuntmen, each wearing bespoke silicone prosthetics and lace wigs. We also had a new giant this season called Wun Wun, played by Ian Whyte, a major character in episode eight.

A TEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF FEMINIST MOTIFS DETERMINED BY PRODUCTION VALUES IN MAD MEN By COURTNEY ALLESSIO A Senior Honors Thesis Submitted to the Department of Communication of Boston College Thesis Advisor: Dr. William E. Stanwood May 2011 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. William Stanwood, who was with me for every step of this process. His dedication and unending support in this endeavor gave me the confidence to pursue and complete my work. I thank my friends who have helped me to work harder, stay calmer, and feel good when it was all over. To the creators of Mad Men, thank you. You are responsible for my Sunday primetime addiction and a good reason to write a thesis. And finally, I express my deepest gratitude to my family. You have always encouraged me to push myself to my outermost limits on with my quest for knowledge. iii ABSTRACT The textual analysis of season four, episode one of Mad Men entitled “Public Relations” study the productions values in terms of feminist motifs. By using social codes developed by Leed-Hurwitz and Barthes’ five systems of meaning in semiotics, observations are made about the elements of the mise-en-scène in relation to the gender roles present in the narrative.

Opening with a montage of Don Draper after he has begun to reclaim his life we hear The Rolling Stones 1965 summer release, “(I can’t get no) Satisfaction”. Arguably their signature song of the 1960s, the Stones’ three minutes and forty four seconds of audible discontent is layered onto a somewhat rehabilitated Draper who swims and takes on writing exercises.

  • THE CIRCUITRY of MEMORY: TIME and SPACE in MAD MEN by Molly Elizabeth Lewis B.A., Honours, the University of British Columbia, 2
    THE CIRCUITRY OF MEMORY: TIME AND SPACE IN MAD MEN by Molly Elizabeth Lewis B.A., Honours, The University of British Columbia, 2013 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Film Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2015 © Molly Elizabeth Lewis, 2015 Abstract Memory is central to Mad Men (Matthew Weiner 2007-15) as a period piece set in the 1960s that activates the memories of its viewers while also depicting the subjective memory processes of its protagonist Donald Draper (Jon Hamm). Narratively, as much as Don may try to move forward and forget his past, he ultimately cannot because the memories will always remain. Utilizing the philosophy of Henri Bergson, I reveal that the series effectively renders Bergson’s notion of the coexistence of past and present in sequences that journey into the past without ever leaving the present. Mad Men ushers in a new era of philosophical television that is not just perceived, but also remembered. As a long-form serial narrative that intricately layers past upon present, Mad Men is itself an evolving memory that can be revisited by the viewer who gains new insight upon each viewing. Mad Men is the ideal intersection of Bergson’s philosophy of the mind and memory and Gilles Deleuze’s cinematic philosophy of time. The first chapter simply titled “Time,” examines the series’ first flashback sequence from the episode “Babylon,” in it finding the Deleuzian time- image. The last chapter “Space,” seeks to identify the spatial structure of the series as a whole and how it relates to its slow-burning pace.
