Cinematography Analysis (20 pts) Cinematography studies the language of the camera. How does the camera use focus, film speed, frame, and movement to speak to us? Minimizing the cues from mise-en-scene and sound, examine how a cinematographer communictes with the camera alone. 1. Watch “Who Wins This Scene?” for an example of cinematography analysis. 2. View the three video clips attached to this assignment. They can also be found in the class notebook in the content library. CHOOSE one for your analysis. 3. Write a 500-700 word essay analyzing how the camera works to convey relationships, power dynamics, points of view, mood, tension, tone, and the revelation of information. Consider cinemagraphic techniques : Tone and color palette Film speed : fast motion/slow motion Depth of focus Frame Camera angles Camera height Camera distance Reframing Off-screen space Fixed Camera: pan/tilt Tracking Shot/Dolly Handheld/Steadicam Tips: Watch your chosen film clip a few times to get a clear sense of the relationship between characters and between characters and their settings. What’s the mood of the scene? Does the mood change? How does the camera capture it? Your essay should focus on small, specific details. For instance, it’s not enough to say “Lector is in a prison cell.” You need to explain how the camera reveals Lector’s relationship to his prison cell; e.g. we know that Lector feels at home in the cell because the medium long shot reveals that he is standing up and totally at ease and the medium close up reinforces this by showing his face in a relaxed expression. Choose 3-4 most important cinemagraphic details and discuss them well rather than trying to cram every possible cinemagraphic technique into a 500-word paper. the sources 

1. Define the differences between goals, strategies, and tactics in a campaign. Next, using the example we used yesterday (a campaign to get students more interested/engaged with the COMM department at BSU via social media) provide an example of i) one SMART* objective, ii) a strategy statement (1 sentence), and iii) sample tactics (x2-3). *SMART Objectives are: S=specific M=measureable A=achievable R=realistic T=have a timeline 2. If a primary audience for your ‘campaign’ is BSU COMM students, who could be a secondary audience? And a tertiary audience? 3. For the 2019 Super Bowl, the brand Skittles produced a 30-minute Broadway musical which included a song titled “Advertising Ruins Everything.” What reasons would compel Skittles to include such a song in their branded content? 4. As TopRank pointed out “Facts tell, stories sell” (Odden, 2015). What’s an example you can think of that demonstrates how a story can be effectively used to sell something?

PROMPT 1 When we study the Olmec culture and Classic Period Maya culture, we see again that scholars emphasize the role of ritual in the emergence of elites (or “rulers”) in these communities. Fox (1996) and Lucero (2003) describe different kinds of rituals, and argue that these rituals were pivotal to the development and maintenance of the Classic Maya kingdoms. Each of the authors describe relationships between household (or small-scale) rituals and grandiose public rituals. Identify two ways that public ritualized behavior performed by elites connect with common people’s daily lives. (1) How do those connections make the public rituals more useful for the elites? (2) How do the connections make the rituals more useful for the commoners? You need to combine two examples. One example must be from the Classic Maya, while the second can be from any culture we’ve studied, or from a modern culture. For example: Every four years in the United States, a ritual occurs in which politicians who wish to become President appear on stage next to each other in order to repeat their campaign slogans in such a way that it is called “a debate.” For many decades that performance had great social and political power because it was familiar to citizens who had been required to take part in structured debates in their schools. Citizens felt that they understood the “rules of the game” and could sympathize with the candidates. The ritual both humanized the politicians and showed that they understood issues of great complexity. In more recent years, the presidential debates have become less meaningful (except as a way for candidates to be caught in poor dramatic performances) in part because students in the United States education system rarely take part in debates, and it is no longer a part of their young lives.

TASK The students need to write a report about a marketing strategy for a local non-profit sports provider, e.g. a member’s club, or voluntary organisation. The report itself should include an extended portrait of the provider. The students should examine the specific components of the organisation as well as potential similarities and differences to other providers in the field. The report is worth 75% of the total mark. The attached marking matrix will be used to grade the submissions. It is recommended that the students familiarise themselves with this scale and be aware of the criteria for achieving the scores for each element of the matrix. A good essay will have a logical structure, the recommended referencing system (APA 6th ed.), a range of relevant literature will be appropriately used to support the findings/argument. Additionally, the student should demonstrate a good understanding of the factors that affect international approaches to sport management and produce justifiable conclusions about the evidence obtained and the literature used. Report format 1500 words. The word count has a tolerance of +10% and -10% of the advised number. The word count excludes the list of references and the appendices.

Conduct a risk assessment on a community of your choice, with specific focus on a specific facility or system within that community that you determine is part of the broader community’s critical infrastructure (e.g., hospital, water system, power system). You should select the community (town, city, county, region, state, or nation) considering the availability of information that exists or your access to information (e.g., your ability to interview community leaders). Assignment Guidelines Address the following in 2-3 pages: Describe (briefly) the community and why you selected it (e.g., demographics, topography/geography, climate, criticality of CI, political issues).

What other risk portfolio and assessments for the community exist (e.g., local hazard mitigation plan, DHS assessments)? Explain. Describe the critical facility or system that you selected, and describe why it is critical to the selected community.

Explain in detail. What are the possible/probable cascading effects at the local, regional, national, or international level should one of the risks occur and affect the critical facility/infrastructure you selected?
