In 2009, Objectified was directed by Gary Hustwit. This movie was made to the subject of product design and various product and designer was appeared in this film. After hearing their stories, I realized their thought and philosophy. Alice Rawsthorn said many designs around us in not noticeable to consumer and people take for granted. However, all product was made throughout the entire design process. Over time, most product was reproduced after improving uncomfortable part. but we not recognize about it. and when designing the goods the most fundamental part is form. So, function have to follow form. For example, there are kitchen utensils. scissors and knife are uses for cutting up ingredient. So, there shapes are sharp. but handle is
Ewick and Silbey offer numerous reasons as to why “before the law” and “with the law” puts a perspective on how Americans have an opinion about lawyers. Through our culture’s portrayals of law through movies, media, TV, etc., we have this idea that lawyers happen to be either good or bad when in fact they are heroes. “Legally Blonde” and “Liar Liar” both display the heroic lawyer and provide us with how their demeanor affects the way Americans interpret beliefs of the law. From the past to present, it is difficult for Americans to consider lawyers as heroes when our culture exaggerates them as being dramatic and immoral. Lawyers should be considered heroes as they provide us with the services, legal rights, and protection to fulfill peace
Eric Rentschler, a Harvard University professor of German cinema and history, has written countless pieces of works surrounding the Third Reich era. Books like West German Film in the Course of Time (1984) displayed how the Germans used cinema to portray their lives during the late 1930’s up to the time of Hitler taking power. His article on Jew Süss (1940) discussed how Veit Harlan supplied a survey of historical occurrences with the use of anti-Semitic features. He also displayed the real face of the Jewish population, and used dissolves and shadowing to illustrate the approaching cruelty and mass killings of European Jewry.

A Raisin in the Sun PBA Unit 2 Cinematography and filmmaking are art forms completely open to interpretation in many ways such lighting, the camera as angles, tone, expressions, etc. By using cinematic techniques a filmmaker can make a film communicate to the viewer on different levels including emotional and social.

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.
The film “Half of Anything” directed by Jonathan Tomhave was centered around a series of interviews with four different people of different backgrounds, who all identified as Native American. He asked these four interviewees the question “What is a real Indian?” This was a challenge for each person to answer in the fact that a “real Indian” meant different things to each one. For instance, the first interviewee, Christina, believed that there has to be a true definition of an Indian and that it meant more than just having a card and being enrolled in something, it takes moral responsibility. Another interviewee, Sherman Alexie, discussed that, while he saw being Indian as part of a person’s personal identity, the world seemed to identify Indians

One evening when receiving incoming calls on his radio show a woman named Anne calls in asking Jan when he is going to establish who was responsible for the deaths of the children. He declines after meeting with them since
A clandestine affair with a married man is a sinewy phenomenon, and it is here to stay. It’s a truth that when a single woman or even the married ones sees a moderately attractive male, they are more interested in him if they believe he is already in a relationship or are already in a nuptial bond! In fact, one sizable study found 90 percent of single women are interested in a man who they believe was taken, while a mere 59 percent wanted him when told he was single. Sounds intriguing but it’s a fact of life that females get attracted to married men very fast at least as par the statistics.

Product design is a discipline that’s constantly being shaped and reshaped by designers. Be it Jonathan Ives with his timeless apple products or Charles and Ray Eames with their ergonomic furniture designs, many designers have played and continue to play a significant role in evolving this discipline. However, there are three designers whose philosophy I personally connect with. These designers have influenced my work and aspirations as a product designer. Leonardo da Vinci is the first designer who has influenced me.
Film is a powerful tool for social change, from serving as social commentary to creating tangible revolution. Each society has its own set of problems and histories, making way for unique and distinct nuances to come through in the films it produces. This is notably depicted in the films Orlando by American director Sally Potter and The Beauty Inside by South Korean director Baik, which both use the storytelling trope of the protagonist waking up in a different body yet engage with the content differently to reflect their respective societal problems. Potter and Baik also employ filmmaking tools, such as staging, costume, editing, and dialogue, to further emphasize their arguments. Although both films utilize a similar trope to indicate that
They used ATMs (hole in the wall) that each machine had exactly the same functions and operations, but the difference was that they compared the perceived ease-of-use between the machines that had a more appealing/well designed layout of the interface/buttons against the machines with unappealing/poorly designed layout. The results showed that the user perceived the attractive versions to work better (Donald A Norman, 2005). This proves that the user effects all aspects of the design process, the user is always right because when the user has a positive experience, the product will succeed. A well-known process for dealing with the user’s emotional requirements is Kansei engineering. Areas that it has been applied to include domestic appliances, seating, and various commodities for the home.
Product design can fulfil the demands of the customers and they are willing visit the same company again in the future. Referencing to the words of Vonderembse (n.d.),
