Analyzing the Frilm Ten Things I Hate About You
Analyse the first ten minutes of the film. How do the first ten
minutes give us information about the setting, characters and genre of
the film? How is it designed to appeal to the target audience?
======================================================================
The first ten minutes introduce us to all the main characters, and
give us an idea of their personality and role in the plot. It suggests
the plot to us, and gives a basic outline, without giving too much
away. It clearly demonstrates who its target audience is, and aims its
setting, language, humour and format accordingly.
The opening credits immediately let the viewer know the film is
light-hearted, and not intellectual, by using brightly coloured
writing. It almost looks like graffiti, a mainly teenage interest,
which suggests it is aimed at teenagers. This idea is backed up by the
music playing (Barenaked Ladies - One Week) which is chart music, also
mainly aimed at teenagers. So, by using text and music, the director
has already established his target audience, and the basic genre of
the film. Behind the credits, the establishing shot is of a scribbled
sketch of a cityscape, in a style similar to that of a picture in the
back of a school exercise book. This is a pastime, like graffiti,
which the target audience, can strongly identify with. The sketch then
becomes a filmed cityscape, and it uses this to let us know the basic
setting. We can see it is Seattle because of the Space Needle, an
internationally recognized landmark. The camera sweeps across to a
panning shot of the neighbourhood. It shows a pleasant, sub...

Kat's interview with Ms. Perky reinforces what we discovered in the
previous scene - that she is cleverer than the teachers, as she gives
Ms. Perky inspiration for her novel. Ms. Perkys' first words are
'Terrorising Mr. Morgan's class again?' showing that they meet
regularly for this reason.
The first ten minutes really establish Kat's character, and introduce
us to the other main characters - Patrick, Bianca, Joey, Cameron and
Michael. We know it's set in high school, and aimed at people roughly
the same age as the characters in the film, and slightly younger, so
they can aspire to become them. The film uses jokes on authority
figures, a setting they'll empathize with, and characters they'll
aspire to become, to appeal to the target audience.
Do you ever wonder why most girls are insecure? In “So I Ain’t No Good Girl” by Sharon Flake it perfectly explains why girls are insecure at a young age. This short story is about a teenage girl who gets abused by her boyfriend Raheem. Her story begins with her wanting to ride to school with Raheem. He tells her to “go to school without him cause he’s got things to do.” In reply she snaps at him and he slaps her. She reluctantly agrees to go to school without him. As the school bus is driving away, she sees Raheem kissing another girl. Flake shows how teenage girls are taught to be insecure by using realistic problems to show her character’s struggle.
This is an image that I think of when I consider Japanese culture. They love gardens like this and you see similar images often when considering their culture. It is difficult to tell for sure, but the people in the distance appear to be dressed up. It is as though they have put on their best clothes to step out and enjoy this relaxing setting. I believe that this print is successful at capturing a moment in the mid 1800’s very well. It causes me to sense and experience what the artist was trying to capture. This print seems to conform to the formal theory of art. The print has only images of each object. None of them are particularly detailed or real to life but they do a very good job of organizing and describing the basic elements of the scene. It uses similar colors, shapes, and lines to those one might find in this garden in
most effective paintings of the modern urban landscape of 19th century Paris. At first we see the
Dakota Hoffman Changes and Choices Mrs. Srittmatter. Have you ever felt like you were socially awkward? Well in the book of the perks of being a wallflower a kid named Charlie has a hard time knowing what to do to socialize, in the movie Mean Girls a girl named Katy comes from Africa and also doesn’t know what to do socially, so they both have similar social skills, both causing them to be social outcasts. In the book Charlie starts his freshman year out friendless and he is not really sure on what he is to do to make a friend. But he meets Sam and Patrick and just goes with them because he feels comfortable around them.
The Hate U Give was written by Angie Thomas in 2017, and was written based on a true story. This book is very powerful, because it shows events that are happening in today’s time. It starts off with a girl, who goes to a prep high school, but lives in the ghetto. The girl, known as Starr, is a very nice and smart girl that doesn’t get in trouble and stays out of trouble. She goes to a party with her close friend, Kenya, who begged her to go. The party gets shot up and her childhood friend, Khalil, leave and are on the way to take her home. Khalil gets pulled over because his tail light is out and when the cop comes up to the door, Khalil doesn’t do what the cop says and Khalil gets shot. Later on that night, Starr’s family shows up to take
The character(s) that I chose to diagnosis and treat are the Minions from Despicable Me. I would diagnose them with ADHD or “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder” because they are extremely hyperactive, are constantly being distracted by random objects passing by, and had difficulty in properly carrying out Gru’s objectives because of their disposition to be distracted and wide-eyed at any little thing. In order to treat the minions’ ADHD, i would use behavior therapy which uses learning principles, such as classical and operant conditioning, to get rid of unwanted behavior and reinforced the desired behavior. Specifically, i would use progressive relaxation, despite the fact that it is used mostly to treat anxiety. Progressive relaxation
From the piece of artwork “Rain at the Auvers”. I can see roofs of houses that are tucked into a valley, trees hiding the town, black birds, clouds upon the horizon, hills, vegetation, a dark stormy sky and rain.
In Office in a Small city, the viewer is looking through a side window of a plain utilitarian building of a solitary man in a corner office. The highrise the man currently occupies is unassuming. Its color a soft white. The only decorative feature of this highrise is the front. Two other buildings can be seen. Another highrise, with apparently no windows, is similar to the one that the man occupies. The other building that occupies the rest of the space, is reminiscent of a time before the rise of skyscrapers. It stands out as unique and more human when compared with the other structures in this painting. The office that man sits in is bare, nothing hangs on the walls and the interior is the same drab color of the outside building. The windows of this office aren't framed. The few things that occupy this corner office is a couple dull brown colored desks and chairs and the solitary man. The man, dressed in a white shirt and black vest, sits at one of the desks and looks across the way to another building, with o...
10 Things I Hate About You takes William Shakespeare’s classic play, The Taming of the Shrew and manages to make it relevant to a modern audience. The story remains the same with the younger sister, Bianca, not allowed to have a relationship until her older sister, Kat, does. They did maintain several original scenes and even used several direct quotes from the original play. The writers have eliminated some of Bianca’s suitors and changed the way Kat is tamed to appeal to a modern audience. Shakespeare would have agreed with the casting of the movie. This movie may turn Shakespeare’s work into a teen comedy but it maintains many of the elements that made the play such a hit.

These three phrases are the slogans of the Party, and control Winston Smith’s entire life. The ambiguous figure of Big Brother sees all, hears all, and controls all, even things you may not even think it possible to manipulate. Using the image of Big Brother, the government brainwashes and conditions its population. It is the year 1984, in the country of Oceania, and Winston’s secret resentment for the party has grown into the urge to rebel which he cannot deny. The day he makes this distinction in his mind is the day he signs his death warrant. Everyone who dares commit a crime against the party, even one of thought is eventually “vaporized.” The only question is, when will they come for him? Utilizing the Party’s invented language of Newspeak,
What is the key to financial success? Everybody is willing to give you their advice, but you probably don't want to ask your struggling neighbor or family member who has as much debt as you have. When you think about celebrities, it is hit or miss there as well. Sure, many of them learned how to make tons of money, but many of them lost it just as quickly, too.
American artist Squire J. Vickers painted Cityscape with Sun in 1927. The painting is done in oil on burlap. Cityscape with Sun was painted in a cubist style- a painting style that emphasizes the use of geometric shapes. This work is a representational painting of a cityscape. In this artwork, Squire J. Vickers uses organic and geometric lines. He used organic lines to represent the sun in the painting, and geometric lines to represent the buildings. The bright yellow sun is used as a focal point in the work that eventually draws the eye outward to the surrounding city. Further, because it is painted on burlap Cityscape with Sun has a unique surface texture. The bright colors in the work evoke interest in viewers. Painted in 1927, Vickers was
Paul declares in 1st Corinthians that to each of God’s children a spiritual gift has been given. Over the years of my walk with the Lord I have concluded that I possess the noticeable gift of speaking in tongues and perhaps the gift of discerning spirits. As we have been learning about our proclivities towards certain strengths, I have been thinking about different ways mine are useful in and for the Church. Analytical is in my top 5 and it greatly assists my ability to learn and discern during the teaching of the Word. As Gallup puts it on their website, I have a “prove it” mentality. Therefore, habitually, I scrutinize everything the speaker says and cross-reference it against my bank of theological knowledge. However, I realize that I
...many anime and manga artists scout different locations taking pictures for artistic reference. As a result a lot of detail is put into the surroundings in anime with detailed buildings and intricate landscapes.
