Analysing 2 Film Scenes

 
You must write a film analysis of 1500 words. You should select two scenes from different films of no more than five minutes in length, and write roughly 750 words on each scene. The film must be one we have studied on the course, and the scenes in question must be agreed with your tutor first.

You should discuss the theory of the language of film that you have studied, and how the director has used this to convey meaning. You should avoid lengthy description, and concentrate on in depth and pertinent analysis. Remember, film is constructed and all elements of mise en scene, cinematography, and editing have been used for specific purpose with the audience in mind. It is important to identify the techniques used and then discuss their intended affect and how this is achieved.

Adherence and group dynamics

 
Case Study 1: Vicky returns to exercise and sport
Vicky is a 40-year-old teacher. She is married and has two young children.
At a routine health check, the GP informed Vicky that she has high blood pressure and suggested that she is a little overweight. When she was younger, Vicky played badminton and she wants to play again.
The GP suggested that Vicky should start a fitness and weight loss programme. Vicky joined a local gym and planned to go there three times a week. At the beginning, she would go straight to the gym after work. She liked the buzz of the gym, but ached from the new exercises and was getting home late in the evenings. Then, in the fourth week, after a few nights of working late, she was feeling so tired that she stopped going to the gym.
Vicky’s husband is worried about her poor health and is making healthier meals at home and encouraging Vicky to get back to her fitness programme. Vicky’s work colleagues have organised a friendly badminton league and are pushing Vicky to join. The club will start in three months’ time and Vicky is keen to get her fitness level up and her weight down in order to get back into the sport that she loves.
Vicky goes back to the gym and enrols on a six-week ‘fitness start-up’ programme with a personal trainer who helps her to set fitness goals and designs a progressive exercise programme for her. Vicky’s personal trainer works with her once a week at the gym, guiding her through her programme and setting her exercises to work through on a twice-a-week basis. This time, Vicky enjoys her experience at the gym more. She attends all six sessions with the personal trainer, but struggles to maintain the other twice-a-week sessions. To replace these, she walks to work and back twice a week instead of driving (the walk is 25 minutes each way). In addition to this, at weekends she has started going out on her bike with her sons and husband.
By the eighth week Vicky is feeling more energetic. Her husband and her colleagues at work have commented that she seems to have lost weight and looks better.
Questions
a. Identify three barriers that may affect Vicky’s ability to ‘adhere’ to sport and fitness activities. (50 words/6 marks)
b. Describe why models of behaviour change may be useful to sport and fitness practitioners. (100 words/8 marks)
c. Apply the transtheoretical model of behaviour change to explain how Vicky was moving between the stages. (350 words/16 marks)
d.By the eighth week, Vicky appears to be in the action stage of the transtheoretical model. What psychological techniques could be used to help her to move into the maintenance stage? (500 words/25 marks)

Case Problem ‘Bicycle Shop’

 
Jerry Smith is thinking about opening a bicycle shop in his hometown. Jerry loves to take his own bike on 50-mile trip with his friends, but he believes that any small business should be started only if there is a good chance of making a profit. Jerry can open a small shop, a large shop, or no shop at all. The profits will depend on the size of the shop and whether the market is favorable or unfavorable for his products. Because there will be a 5-year lease on the building that Jerry is thinking about using, he wants to make sure that he makes the correct decision. Jerry is also thinking about hiring his old marketing professor to conduct a marketing research study. If the study is conducted, the study could be favorable (i.e., producing a favorable market) or unfavorable (i.e., producing an unfavorable market).
Jerry Smith has done some analysis about the profitability of the bicycle shop. If Jerry build the large bicycle shop, he will earn $60,000 if the market is favorable, but he will lose $40,000 if the market is unfavorable. The small shop will return a $30,000 profit in a favorable market and a $10,000 loss in an unfavorable market. At the present time, he believes that there is 50-50 chance that the market will be favorable. His old marketing professor will charge $5,000 for the marketing researching. It is estimated that there is a 0.6 probability that the survey will be favorable. Furthermore, there is a 0.9 probability that the market will be favorable given a favorable outcome from the study. However, the marketing professor has warned Jerry that there is only a probability of 0.12 of a favorable market if the marketing research results are not favorable.
Prepare a Managerial Report structured as follows:
2.1 Structure and present your paper in the form of a Managerial Report, with a cover page, table of content, executive summary, main body, appendixes.
2.2 Prepare a payoff table and develop a decision tree.
2.3 Based on the calculated EMVs for all decision alternatives, answer the question: ‘Should Jerry conduct and use the marketing research?’
2.4 Jerry is unsure the 0.6 probability of a favorable marketing research study is correct. How sensitive is Jerry’s decision to this probability value? How far can this probability value deviate from 0.6 without causing Jerry to change his decision?
2.5 Using the results from the sensitivity analysis (task 4), prepare a sensitivity diagram.
2.6 Apply software tools for the decision tree (recommended tool: MS Excel Add-Ins TreePlan)

Port authorities

 
I have included an abstract to be used as a template for this paper.

Please include a pre and post 9/11 discussion on port authority security.

and a discussion that includes the maritime security act of 2002.

Port Authority
“ It is one of the most heavily-guarded checkpoints on the border between Israel and the Gaza strip. Security is so tight at Karni that goods are transferred from trucks parked back-to-back to prevent smuggling. But despite those precautions, a truck carrying two suicide bombers left the border crossing into Israel at about 2 o’clock in the afternoon of March 14 headed for the deepwater port of Ashdod, about 40 kilometers south of Tel Aviv. By 3:30 pm, the truck had arrived at the port, one of Israel’s busiest. About an hour later, the terrorists detonated their explosive devices, killing ten and wounding 18.”(Schoen, MSNBC)
The excerpt above is from an article written by John Schoen of MSNBC in which he describes how ports are attractive targets for terrorism. In the article, he provides a very detailed account of how a heavily guarded port in Israel, one of the safest ports in the world, was compromised by two suicide bombers. With this paper, I intend to discuss the purpose of ports, daily port operations, port security, and ports areas of vulnerability. Next, I intend to show the financial impact if a port is shut down. I found this topic intriguing because if a terrorist act could be successfully launched at a heavily guarded port in Israel, then it is imperative that ports around the world use this situation as a learning tool to prevent it from occurring again. While there are over 100 ports within the United States alone, my paper will on how port address security to deter and identify terrorist activity. Finally, the paper will conclude with an assessment of the security of US Ports.

Brief
You are to use the scenario below and advise Alice as detailed in the task section.
Scenario
Alice recently bought Damson Cottage from Richard a semi-detached freehold house with a large
rear garden. Alice was particularly attracted to the property because of the potential to extend and
the lovely views from the rear of the property over the neighbouring countryside.
Damson Cottage originally formed part of Manor Farm, but was sold in 1999 when it was first
registered under its own separate title. Access to the property is via a shared private driveway
owned by Manor Farm. When it was sold, the 1999 Transfer contained the following provision:
‘And the Purchaser for himself and his successors in title hereby covenants with the Vendor
and his successors in title that he will perform and observe the following stipulations:
1 No external alterations whatsoever shall be made to the premises without the written
consent of the Vendor such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; and
2 To contribute a fair proportion according to user of the cost of maintaining the private
driveway leading to Damson Cottage.’
Following the death of the 1999 seller, two years ago, Manor Farm has now been sold to Mike.
Tasks
Advise Alice on her legal position in respect of the following:
a Alice has just discovered that Lily, who is a landscape gardener, lives next door. For
some time she has parked her van and stored materials used for her business on
part of the rear garden of Damson Cottage. Then she erected a wooden fence
around that part to incorporate it into her garden. Lily is refusing to remove the fence
and the materials.
b Simon who lives next door intends building a two-storey rear extension to his house.
Alice objects to the plans for three reasons:
• the work will include cutting into the wall which is shared with her house;
• the gutters on the proposed extension will slightly overhang Alice’s property;
• the proposed extension will block the view from and reduce the light to her garden
and kitchen window.
Simon is refusing to change his plans saying that he is entitled to do what he likes
with his own property.
© CEM Page 3 of 6
c Charles whilst on a visit to Damson Cottage found a box of very old coins buried in
the garden. He claims that he is entitled to keep them.
d Alice wishes to erect a single-storey extension at the rear of the property which she
intends using as her office for her new internet business selling leather accessories.
She has recently received a letter from Mike reminding her that his consent is
required under the covenants to any external alterations and seeking a contribution to
the cost of the recent resurfacing of the shared private driveway.
Marking Criteria:
You will be marked using the standard marking rubric attached.
Give legal advice rather than practical advice. Use objective, impersonal formal language.
