Film 7 - 9

Week 7
The Fog of War Errol Morris 2003
Night and Fog Alain Resnais 1955

Estrangement 
- making the familiar strange
Cinema verite - 50s and 60s - films real objects, people, and events in a confrontational way in which the reality of the subject continually acknowledges the reality of the camera recording it.

Week 8
Shoot the Piano Player Francois Truffaut 1960

French New Wave - 1959 - 1964 - created by film critics for Cahiers du Cinema and it's editor Andre Bazin - exposed to lots of film (cineastes) and national film archive Cinematheque Francaise - rejects "tradition of quality films" and emphasize acting and mise en scene rather than dramatic camera work
30 Degree Rule - a rule that requires a change in camera position form one shot to another. unless there is a significant change in camera distance, the camera must move at least thirty degrees away from its original position
Jump cut - elippitical cut that has an insufficient change in camera angle, camera distance, and/or the content of two (or more) shots appearing in succession
  • Uses "documentary" techniques 
    • hand-held camera, shooting on location, using available light, direct sound recording,  and use of zoom lense
  • Long takes - dead time
  • Disjunctive editing
    • double action, jump cuts, breaking 180 degree rule, mismatching image and sound
  • "improvised" acting - incidental characters
  • playfulness
  • intertextual references and self reflectivity
  • startling changes in tone
  • loose and ambiguous narrative
  • "trick" effects
    • slow motion, freeze frame, special opticals
 Week 9
Psycho Alfred Hitchcock 1960

Auteur Theory - originates in france, when hollywood studios are in decline Andrew Sarris popularized the auteur theory in the US with his article "notes on the auteur theory in 1962"
  1. Technician - the director should have technical competence
  2. Stylist - the director should impose his personality on his works with a signature style
  3. auteur: has qualities of technitian and stylist gives to each work an interior meaning "extrapolated from the tension between a director's personality and his material"
Hitchcock as an Auteur
  • Themes
    • Proximity of "normal" and "abnormal"
    • Voyeurism
  • Style
    • careful shot composition and camera placement and use of Storyboards
    • "subjective" shots POV and not POV shots
    • Visual correlatives "charged objects"
    • Alternating between long takes and editing

Get Involved with Second Chance Animal Shelter Norman OK

Get Involved with Second Chance Animal Shelter Norman OK: "Get Involved!

Volunteer

Second Chance could not do what it does without the help of our volunteers! Although our staff is dedicated and knowledgeable, extra helping hands and hearts are necessary to accomplish the important work in which we are involved. Every activity you perform, whether directly handling the animals or not, improves the quality of their lives and decreases the length of their stay in our program.

We need volunteers at the shelter: walking the dogs, socializing the cats, cleaning, sweeping and mopping, doing laundry, making adoption packets, doing light office work, helping with customer service. We need volunteers at events: at adoption clinics @ Petsmart and Petco, and at major adoption and community outreach events. Our volunteers are 18 and older, however volunteers who are 16 & 17 years of age are welcome as long as their parents remain with them while they are volunteering.

We are presently restructuring our volunteer program at Second Chance so that we can give our animals the absolute best care possible and we would like for you to be a part of that. Beginning August 1, only those who have attended one of our Volunteer Orientations will be allowed to continue to volunteer at Second Chance.

To get started, just fill out a Volunteer Application and liability waiver for you or your child. Bring the application and waiver with you and stop by sometime during our operating hours. You will be notified when the next Volunteer Orientation will be held.

Doggie Day Out

This is a great benefit for our dogs to get out of the shelter and be socialized to different circumstances, locations, and people. Some of the dogs are able to visit the dog park or a people park, some dogs like to go to Petsmart or Petco, and some just like to ride around town in the car or hang out in front of the TV.

A person over the age of 18 can come to the shelter with a photo ID and fill out a form. Dogs are available Tuesday - Friday from 11am-2pm. (There is a three hour time limit for taking a dog out.) We will try to match a dog with you and the places you would like to go. When the dog is returned to the shelter, there is a survey to fill out. This survey helps us learn more about the dog's personality which then allows us to better match the dogs with potential adopters.
