    Bob Oei Thesis Final Final

    ABSTRACT The Cinematography of Closet Memories Robert Oei, M.A. Advisor: Christopher J. Hansen, M.F.A. The cinematography of a film heavily influences the audience’s mood and their perception of tension. The way a director of photography uses lights and the camera can enhance or destroy the moments of a film a director has built. Keeping this knowledge in mind, the cinematography of Closet Memories uses film noir lighting, a mixture of handheld and smooth camera work, and other techniques to maintain the emotional content of the film’s scenes.

    Chapter Seven Polychrome's Pitiful Plight the Rain King Got Too

    Chapter Seven Polychrome's Pitiful Plight The Rain King got too much water in his basin and spilled some over the brim. That made it rain in a certain part of the country--a real hard shower, for a time--and sent the Rainbow scampering to the place to show the gorgeous colors of his glorious bow as soon as the mist of rain had passed and the sky was clear. The coming of the Rainbow is always a joyous event to earth folk, yet few have ever seen it close by. Usually the Rainbow is so far distant that you can observe its splendid hues but dimly, and that is why we seldom catch sight of the dancing Daughters of the Rainbow. In the barren country where the rain had just fallen there appeared to be no human beings at all; but the Rainbow appeared, just the same, and dancing gayly upon its arch were the Rainbow's Daughters, led by the fairylike Polychrome, who is so dainty and beautiful that no girl has ever quite equalled her in loveliness. Polychrome was in a merry mood and danced down the arch of the bow to the ground, daring her sisters to follow her. Laughing and gleeful, they also touched the ground with their twinkling feet; but all the Daughters of the Rainbow knew that this was a dangerous pastime, so 53 they quickly climbed upon their bow again. All but Polychrome. Though the sweetest and merriest of them all, she was likewise the most reckless. Moreover, it was an unusual sensation to pat the cold, damp earth with her rosy toes.

By foregrounding the role of the audience in creating meaning and by minimizing the “show” as a coherent work, I reconnect musicals to their roots in comedy by way of Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of carnival and reduced laughter. The audiences I study are kids, queers, and collectors, an alliterative set of people whose gender identities and expressions all depart from or fall outside of the normative binary. Focusing on these audiences, whose musical comedy fandom is widely acknowledged but little studied, I follow Raymond Knapp and Stacy Wolf to demonstrate that musical comedy provides a forum for identity formation especially for these problematically gendered audiences. ii The dissertation of Samuel Dworkin Baltimore is approved.

So here, my dears, is a new Oz story in which is introduced Ann Soforth, the Queen of Oogaboo, whom Tik–Tok assisted in conquering our old acquaintance, the Nome King. It also tells of Betsy Bobbin and how, after many adventures, she finally reached the marvelous Land of Oz. There is a play called "The Tik–Tok Man of Oz," but it is not like this story of "Tik–Tok of Oz," although some of the adventures recorded in this book, as well as those in several other Oz books, are included in the play.

Marshall /ActionCutPrint.com All Rights Reserved (1) “The Art and Craft of the Director Audio Seminar” Dear Filmmaker, Thank you for purchasing this 2012 version of "The Art and Craft of the Director Audio Seminar” - a comprehensive, multi-media audio course that demystifies the process of directing and fast tracks your way to becoming a working film and television director. When I first created this course in 2007, I wanted it to be an Online insider's reference guide for filmmakers. Having now updated it five times, I believe this 238 page course (with over 1000 online reference links and videos) will help you to become a successful film director by providing you with the “insider” knowledge I have gained from over 38 years in the film and television business. Although the majority of productions I have worked on were Hollywood feature films, television movies and TV series, the information you will find in this course is easily adaptable to your own low budget independent films - anywhere in the world! All you need to do is take the information in this course - and scale it down for your own productions (short films, small indie films, music videos etc.) I talk a lot about PASSION and TRUTH in this audio course because these are two of the essential ingredients to having a successful directing career.
  • Screenplay Format Guide

    Screenplay Format Guide

    Screenplay Format Guide Format-wise, anything that makes your script stand out is unwise. This may seem counterintuitive. Anything you do to make your screenplay distinctive is good, right? Depart from the traditional format, though, and you risk having your script prejudged as amateurish. A truly conscientious reader will overlook such superficial matters and focus on content. However, if your work looks unprofessional, it may not be taken seriously. To ensure your script gets a fair read, follow these formatting guidelines: It isn’t necessary to file a copyright with the Library of Congress. Your script is automatically protected under common law. However, it’s a good idea to register it, either with an online service, such as the National Creative Registry (protectrite.com), or with the Writers Guild. This being said, the Industry tends to view registration and copyright notices as the marks of a paranoid amateur. You would be wise to leave them off your script. Use a plain cover. White or pastel card stock, not leatherette. Avoid using screw posts or plastic-comb binding. Bind your script with sturdy, brass fasteners, such as those made by ACCOÒ. The ones Staples sells are too flimsy. Readers hate it when a script falls apart in their hands. You can order professional-quality script supplies online from WritersStore.com. Although scripts are printed on three-hole-punched paper, there’s an unwritten rule that speculative scripts are bound with two fasteners, not three. Why this tends to be common practice is unclear. Perhaps it’s because submissions often get copied by the studio’s story department, and it’s easier (and cheaper) if there are only two brads.
  • MMDSW501 SCRIPT WRITING a Screenplay, Or Script, Is a Written

    MMDSW501 SCRIPT WRITING a Screenplay, Or Script, Is a Written

    MMDSW501 SCRIPT WRITING A screenplay, or script, is a written work by screenwriters for a film, television program or video game. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. The script the actors use during filming is primarily dialogue with minimal stage direction. This is similar to the 'spec scripts' given to agents and producers to generate interest in the work. The primary focus here is on telling the story, the word and actions that convey the message. What sound effects or lighting effects that are important to the actor's performance are noted. But, anything not directly impacting the performance are generally left out. The screenplay is the extra layer with everything that was left out of the script. It may very well be the 'shooting script' in most cases, which is less of an actor's tool and more of a director's tool. The screenplay includes those aspects of filming that are outside the actor's purview, things like camera angles and cut or fade instructions, effects that the audience will see but have no effect on the actor's performance while on set. The script, or screenplay, outlines all of the elements (audio, visual, behavior, and dialogue) that are required to tell a story through movies or TV. A script is almost never the work of a single person. Instead, it will go through revisions and rewrites, and ultimately will be interpreted by the producers, directors, and actors.
  • The Screenplay 2

    The Screenplay 2

    CHAPTER The Screenplay 2 A screenplay is the literary expression of the story, characters, actions, locations, and tone of your fi lm written in a specialized dramatic script format. Whether you write the script yourself or work with someone else’s material, it’s important to remember that the screenplay is not the fi nal product. It is an intermediate step in the production of a fi lm and serves many functions in all stages of the project’s development. It is often said that the screenplay is the blueprint for the entire process of making a fi lm, in the same way that a rendering of a house serves as the blueprint for the construction of a house. In many ways this is true; however, unlike an architectural blueprint, a screenplay should remain a rather more fl exible document throughout the process. It’s important to keep in mind that screenplays evolve. They should be revised and rewritten, at every stage of a fi lm’s pro- gression, as new ideas or circumstances emerge. ■ STAGES OF SCRIPT DEVELOPMENT There are a number of stages in the evolution of a screenplay, and each stage usually requires various drafts. Each stage has a specifi c purpose as you proceed, step-by-step, from a general outline of your story to a script that contains the full dimensions of your fi lm, including locations, actions, dialogue, sounds, movements, etc. This process of working and reworking your fi lm’s story material, adding, cutting, or refi ning details along the way, is called script development.
