ART2010 Midterm Exam Part II

For Part II of the Midterm Exam, write an essay in response to one of the prompts below. Your essay should focus on one of these films: The Bicycle Thief, Citizen Kane, Psycho, The Grand Budapest Hotel, or Saving Private Ryan.

• Cinematography: Now that you’re familiar with film from the filmmaker’s point of view, choose one of the films above and dissect it like a filmmaker. Consider the cinematic choices the director made. What shots are particularly interesting, especially for what they tell us about the characters, their relationships, the movie’s themes, and the world of the film?
• Mise en Scène: As we know, mise en scène is the composition of all the elements in a frame/scene. Analyze one aspect of mise en scène in one of the films listed above. For example, you might focus on setting (including props), costume, staging (including performance), or lighting, and examine its function in the narrative.
• Film Form: Every film has a shape to it. Some go in chronological order, while others do not. These are also aspects of narrative form. Some make use of parallelism; others use recurring motifs in order to construct patterns. Analyze how the structure of one of the films we have watched contributes to its content. How does form help to reinforce and emphasize various aspects of the story itself?
• Narrative Form: Most simply put, narrative form is how the story is told, which includes who tells it, how it unfolds, what’s left unsaid, and how much time it covers. Analyze the narrative form of your chosen film (from those we’ve watched) with particular attention to the effect it has on audience/viewer. You are not simply telling me what the form is, but analyzing the way it creates meaning and either fulfills or frustrates the viewer’s expectations, and to what effect.

Choose three scenes in particular to use as concrete examples to support your thesis. Do not summarize the film’s storyline; assume I know the film. Reference your scenes, but focus on discussing the relevance of each example to your analysis of the way this aspect of cinematography functions in the film.

Assume that your aunt sold her house on December 31, and to help close the sale she took a second mortgage in the amount of $10,000 as part of the payment. The mortgage has a quoted (or nominal) interest rate of 10%; it calls for payments every 6 months, beginning on June 30, and is to amortized over 10 years. Now, 1 year later, your aunt must inform the IRS and the person who bought the house about the interest that was included in the two payments made during the year. (This interest will be income to your aunt and a deduction to the buyer of the house.) To the closest dollar, what is the total amount of interest that was paid during the first year?

* Here is the answer: $984.88

I just need to see how the problem is solved.

Analyzing Research and Applying Evaluation Knowledge

In this post, you are asked to address two prompts:

1. Critique the Bowland, Edmond, and Fallot article that you read this week.
   • Identify one limitation in the evaluation design or in how the authors interpreted the findings.
   • Discuss how you might address that limitation if you were to replicate the study. What further questions do you have about the effectiveness of this intervention?
2. If you were to conduct an evaluation at your current or previous work, internship, or volunteer site, what type of evaluation would you use (for example, need, process, outcome, and or efficiency)? Reference the course readings. (Remember that my job would be in the social work field)
   • List three potential research questions.

Note that your post should be substantive and be 500-750 words. It should be well-organized and proofread.

In this paper you will take the role of a management team that is presenting to the company’s upper management. Your team is proposing the implementation of a specific MIS system to solve a business problem. You will choose the business (it does not have to be a real business), the problem that the proposed system is intended to solve, and the type of system that your team is proposing to implement in order to solve the problem. Regardless of the type of solution you are proposing, your presentation must address the following:

• Information;
• Information Technology;
• People.

It is recommended that you review the attached Example Project for a good idea of how the paper should be written.

You must rely on scholarly sources in the written version of your presentation, including reference to all sources in MLA format 3 1/2 to 4 pages.

The system created will be a HR System that will streamline the hiring /onboarding process as well as the backend HR Needs:

What I am thinking as far as functions. A main system landing page with all of the different areas within the system as well as a search bar to search a candidate / employee by name, email, address, or phone number or ssn . Once the candidates/employee pulls up with a brief overview of their personal information. You should be able to click on the name and a literal pipeline opens up showing where they are in the process as well as the page that needs to be completed ex: i9, or direct deposit/ performance review. the back office part need to make it extremely easy to approve, review, or update time entries. and have a place on there where it will show the employees tenure and next performance review. Some other things that could be included would be time off requests, schedule availability, payroll reports, and attendance reports.

The system functions and area to talk about are: (You will need to explain the function of each area / how it will work/ how it will help/ the importance of the change.

• Employee on-boarding
• Paid time off accruals
• Time off requests
• Cost-Benefits
  • The benefits of creating the system/ how it will save the company money.

Reflexive blog

Your blog should reflect on your developing understanding of creative business management theory and practice. It is an opportunity for you to record your thoughts and ideas about topics covered in workshops. The post should demonstrate your engagement with issues covered in workshops and in your reading.

You should aim to provide evidence of your engagement with additional relevant material drawing on the case studies presented in class as well as on cases from your own research (e.g. newspaper articles, websites, podcasts, texts you have read) and attempt to note down key ideas / concepts and track their development. You should also think about how you can support the ideas in our blog posts with pictures, relevant videos (e.g. maybe an interview with a creative worker) and charts. You should use the reflective journal to discuss in depth one of the topics covered in this module (total length of your blog should be 1000 words).

The blog may contain:

• Your reflections on the subject of the workshops.
• Your reflections on module key readings and other texts from the reading list.
• References to cultural and creative industry debates on the specific notion of innovation in newspapers and academic journals, and your observations on these debates and their relation to issues covered in the module.
• Your thoughts and feelings about workshop activities and discussions, etc.
• Your reflections on any observations or experiences that relates to your developing thoughts.

Remember to reference your sources using Harvard, but be creative, too! You can experiment by including links, images, film clips etc. in your posts.
