Martina Navratilova once said, “Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people” (Navratilova). Stereotypes can be encountered everywhere, and every person is guilty of doing it. Stereotypes can lead to people thinking and acting differently, this is often done without realization. Stereotyping can be found everywhere, it can be found in books, movies, and the places people go. Stereotypes can generally be defined as fixed images or a set of characteristics that a person might attach to a…

It seems there are various genres that address the audience as citizen instead of consumers: Annette Hill’s “Re-styling Factual TV”(2007) gives an insight as to what defines a genre and its criteria for categorization. The differentiation between genres of factual television is a two-way street: while the audience has the ability to define what subcategory a film belongs to (based on various personal factors), a film categorized as one of higher quality and values will affect the way the…

Poets all have differing opinions of the function or goal of poetry: some would say that poetry can be used for political and social purposes, or poetry is emotion expressed in words, or poetry is meant to create silences around our “word-clogged world”. Whatever it may be, poetry still contains interesting aspects for analysis and contemplation. The poems I will be analyzing all take on differing forms, but ultimately have the use of fragmented phrases and enjambment in common. Authors such as…

There has been much debate about the validity of film noir as a stand-alone genre. Essays and books have debated the term for years using various criteria and rubrics to back up their respective positions on the subject. As the 21st century brings us new and creative trends fromscreenwriting to post-production and everything in between, the boundaries of noir become even less certain. One may even find a fitting parallel between the noir protagonist’s ambiguous and perilous quest with that of…

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. It’s no secret the crime-dramas do well in both the box office and awards season. Why? Some say that it’s because they target the most profitable demographics. Others say it’s the source material. So my modernisation will do both. The General will not only target the highly profitable twenty-five to thirty-five-year-old demographic, but will draw upon perhaps the greatest source material of all time, Shakespeare’s Othello. Set in nineteen-sixties New York,…

Many comedy films are often hybrids with other genres of films. For example, comedy films may be hybrids of comedy musicals (such as Pitch Perfect or Hairspray), comedy actions (such as Speedy or The Heat), comedy horror (such as Scary Movie or Shaun of the Dead), or comedy dramas (such as The Band’s Visit). A comedy drama would have a combination of elements from comedy films and drama films, and may be structured as a comedic film with moments of more serious dramatic elements or lack use of…

like to be entertained. There are various types of movies like action, comedy, science fiction, horror, animation, historic and many more. People want to watch movies according their condition of their mood. They have their own preference on what kind of movie is the best. The most popular genres of movies are those which have most views and the money they collect from the audience. From the different genres of the movies that are available throughout the world, the most popular ones…

This school year I enjoyed this English class because it was not very difficult, but it was not easy at all. This year we did so many assignments and some of them were analyzing poems, emulating poems, writing a theme of a poem, presenting a speech in class and then working as a group to create a chapter. I believe that I have grown throughout this school year. I have grown as a listener because back then I was not used to listening to poems without having a paper right in front of me. Now I am…

Symbol Example from story Importance Act 1: Nature “Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it.”- Lady Macbeth (Act 1 scene 5 line 72-73) “The air nimbly and sweetly recommends itself unto our gentle sense.” - King Duncan (Act 1, Scene 6, Line 1-2) “... heaven’s breath smells wooingly here.” - Banquo (Act 1, Scene 6, Line 6-7) All of these lines compare Macbeth to something in nature. Lady Macbeth’s line says that Macbeth needs to look like a flower but really be a snake deep…

These genres apply the same elements but are used differently. For example, a horror film and an action film storyboard use all the same elements, but how they are used in the storyboard itself differs distinctly. In a horror film storyboard, the element of story…
