Film: The Case Of Keeling And Hars

158 Words1 Page

The case of Keeling and Hars, brought about a great debate. Intellectual property may involve the creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce. It is very important to know and understand laws as it relates to intellectual property. In this particular case, Keeling won the case because she brought new ideas to the original film that stayed true to the film’s baseline, while adding new things. When books and movie scripts are written, the idea almost always comes from an author who has written something similar. It is about using your creative ability to swift it into a new direction. Hars and her company was only a production company. They did not write

  • Joseph Harris Rewriting

    It all started with a parody. In a turn of unlikely events, the crude parody The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti of the 1980 's classic Back to The Future Trilogy eventually evolved into the now critically acclaimed Rick and Morty Adult Swim series. Although the co-creators actively attempted to distance the show from its Back to The Future origin, it will remain to be an illustration of “Rewriting” from Joseph Harris 's Rewriting: How to Do Things with Texts. According to Harris, “Our creativity has roots in the works of others”, and here creativity rooted from the Back to The Future Trilogy. Harris describes the act of rewriting as not just simply copying the original piece, but it means to contribute new ideas, to create something unique based on other 's past work.

  • Film Analysis: The Gilded Age

    517 Words  | 3 Pages

    Despite some issues, The Gilded Age, or Industrial era, overall had a great impact on America. During this time, the economy saw a great increase, people were given new opportunities such as jobs, and the popularity of America increased globally. I really enjoyed watching "The Gilded Age", and found it very educational. I found the meaning of the name of the documentary interesting, the fact that America put off this image that they were perfect but behind the image were various issues. I guess you could say this proves to never judge a book by its cover.

    In the movies, The Farm: Life inside Angola Prison (a documentary) and Slam! (An independent film), although they are different genres, their sub-themes are very similar. These sub-themes portray the subjects as having deeper meanings in terms of personal history and how people dealt with their problems in and out of the prison system. Although, in recent years the prison industrial complex is new, the idea of pushing minorities into housing and then imprisoning them is not a new idea. However in the Past 100 years, getting into prison was the easy part, however trying to stay out of jail once already been in jail is harder.

  • 13th Film Analysis Essay

    1335 Words  | 6 Pages

    The film 13th directed by Ava DuVernay targets an intended audience of the Media and the three branches of the United States government with an emphasis that mass incarceration is an extension of slavery. It is intended to inform viewers about the criminalization of African Americans and the United States prison boom. 13th uses rhetorical devices in its claim to persuade the viewers by using exemplum in the opening seconds of the film. President Barack Obama presents statistics, saying “the United States is home to 5% of the world’s population but is home to 25% of the world’s prisoners.” Also the film uses a hyperbole in talking about the movie Birth of a Nation produced in 1915 which portrays a black man as a violent savage who will kill white women.

  • This Day In History Film Analysis

    When considering the audience’s point of view, there is a particularly strong sense of political influence behind it. Given the previous relationship between Australia and England when this movie takes place, the audiences’ view of a British attempt to frame the Australian soldiers for executing Boer prisoners has a lot of merit to it. To begin, the viewer would draw a sort of prejudice or memory of how their country came to be. Whether Australian, American, or any of the other countries or part of a country with vast amounts of land not yet settled; the British Empire had made it their goal to set out and colonize as much of that land as they could. To achieve their goal, the British Empire did whatever was necessary to defeat those who were already inhabiting them.

    Cinematographic thinking starts at the iconic stage, but is by no means the totality or the fullness of it all. Pearce’s categorization of signs defined the iconic stage as that of perceived resemblance. Though Bazin would go to extremes to qualify cinema as a medium in which there is perfect and exact corellation between what is represented and its representation in film, it is important to note that every medium is characterized by some level of abstraction. Cinematrographic specificity should be considered as the zero point of interpretation. From the conception of the idea right to its eventual realization, there is a lot of transformation and difference.
