I think that the text written by Nicanor Tiongson which is the “Four Values in Filipino Drama and Film” is very helpful not just for me but also to every reader. It is very helpful especially in analyzing a drama or film; you will be able to know the perspective of the Filipino in making films. It involves the tradition and culture that we had inherited from different race. Moreover, it represents not just only the creativity but also our opinions, feelings, beliefs, and ideology. It also reflects
It is really hard for me to choose only three films out of my favorites. After a thorough selection, the three winners of my favorite films are Forrest Gump (1994), Memento (2000) and Shutter Island (2010). Forrest Gump is a 1994 American epic romantic comedy-drama film based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom. In the film, Gump is a man with a low IQ but interestingly has appeared i (The Script Lab, 2011)n many historic moments. The story begins with Forrest picking up the feather
fundamental elements of drama being role, character and relationships, situation, voice and movement, focus, tension, space and time, language, ideas, dramatic meaning; mood and atmosphere; and symbol and audience (Dinham, 2014).

After viewing and observing the short dramatic film Ripple (Viddsee, 2014)
Alex Kendricks War Room is an inspirational American Christian Drama film much like Fireproof. War Room is about a family that’s being torn apart due to a strained marriage but mended back together through the faith of God. It is emotionally relatable, charming, and can be seen as influential. Watching War Room for the first time I immediately found the film emotionally relatable from the story line to the characters. To start, the
“My Life had stood – a Loaded Gun” In the poem, “My Life had stood – a Loaded Gun,” published around 1863, Emily Dickinson effectively uses metaphorical language in making the speaker compare him/her self to a loaded gun. The speaker speaks as if he/she is a loaded gun waiting to expose their full potential. When reading this poem, one could definitely see religious connotations in that one cannot reach his/her full potential without The Master’s – God’s – help and direction. In “My Life had stood
Media contributes in a way we see our body such as in an attractive or unattractive way such as Rebecca J.Donatelle in “ Enhancing your Body Image” explains. The way we assume about our physical appearance can lead to health problems and other side effects we can come across throughout our lifestyle.

The Notebook: A Film to be reckoned with An analysis of Aristotelian Poetics The great Aristotle is considered to be the father and founder of many things, one of the major ones being logic. Aristotle has a very narrow view of many things, these views stemming from his extensive research throughout his lifetime, in an apparent attempt to reach the highest level of academia in regards to writing and more specifically, drama. Aristotle has identified a very sound structure for a dramatic presentation
of each other, the idea of falling in love couldn’t have been further from their minds. In the Paramount Studios 2003 film, “How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days”, what began as a selfish work project for a young successful man and woman, ultimately ended in the pair falling in love. Both parties are challenged to manipulate one another for their own personal gain. Throughout the film we see the interpersonal communication between the pair as they set out to achieve their goals over the course of a 10

Drama piece using different extracts from other plays and social references from television programmes Drama essay one part two In our drama piece we are using different extract from other plays and social references from television programmes. We have also used song lyrics, which fitted the mood and context of the piece to inspire us and add to the drama. The portrayal in books and film has helped us to build up our characters and to see the reactions from the different times in which
The world premiere of Theresa Rebeck’s Seared playing at the SF Playhouse takes place in the kitchen of a small restaurant in New York. Harry and Mike (chef/owner) have a different mentality of viewing things when it comes to the success and running of the restaurant. Harry, who over exaggerates about the food he prepares must meet certain quality standards. While Mike on the other hand worries more about having a successful restaurant that will bring in revenue. Without giving Harry a heads up
some are not as interesting as others. I am the visual type who enjoys looking at pictures and watching films instead of reading blogs or forums with a lot of text. My parents are similar, as they spend the majority of their time watching television than reading books. From my parents, I was able to discover the composition of Asian dramas, which I now enjoy watching during my free time. Asian dramas are similar to a mini-series, in the way that they usually consist of about twenty episodes. They are

Alan Bennett's Monologues as Dramas These plays are written for TV rather than theatre and are experimental for different styles of acting with more emphasis being placed on the single actors face. This is in order to show subtle changes in expressions hopefully giving the viewer a more clear insight into the characters feelings. This is more appropriate for "A Cream Cracker…" as it is a moving story, which is portrayed, even more so in the subtle movement of Doris's face "Cracked the
had to choose three key moments that we thought were the most important sections from the play and where we thought drama was built around. For us, the key characters in the story are Mr. Briggs, a strict teacher Mrs. Kay, a gentler teacher, and Carol, a quiet pupil in the special needs class. We used different explorative strategies whilst developing and performing our drama. This essay is the response to the play. Our first key moment that we chose was a conversation between the headmistress
such a way that made it the great film it is today. Kurosawa’s Throne of Blood is the better adaptation of the Tragedy of Macbeth for the fact that the play was altered into feudal Japanese culture. The average audience of Throne of Blood has already read and analyzed the Tragedy of Macbeth. Therefore, a film such as, Polanski’s Macbeth, would be mundane. Kurosawa capitalizes on his imagination and Japanese culture and establishes them as the foundation of his film. Director and actor, Roman Polanski
blogs and forums with a lot of text. My parents are quite similar as they spend most of their time watching television shows instead of reading books. This led me to the discovery of a composition I now most enjoy on my free time. It is Asian dramas. Asian dramas are similar to a miniseries in the way that it usually consists of about twenty episodes. It is much shorter than an American television show but it is able to include all the details, problems and solution of the story. This composition has
According to “The Art of the Actor: The Essential History of Acting, from Classical Times to the Present Day” by Jean Benedetti, “Acting is a way of showing our understanding of the world and passing it on to other people” (1). Such affirmation has proven itself to be true if history is taken into consideration. One of the oldest forms of art and career throughout history, acting has established itself as one of the most prominent and yet unstable careers of all times. Its vast history provides
