The subject of this paper has at least five names. Documentary Hypothesis and JEDP Theory are the most common. In this paper, this scholarly position will always be referred to as Documentary Hypothesis with a few exceptions. Documentary Hypothesis, or JEDP Theory, is the view held by various scholars that the five books of the Pentateuch were really written by four different authors, and not Moses. This theory claims that afterwards various editors (called Redactors) blended the five books together
*Aaltonen, Jouko. "Script as a Hypothesis: Scriptwriting for Documentary Film." Journal of Screenwriting, vol. 8, no. 1, Mar. 2017, pp. 55-65. Aaltonen is a Finnish film producer who has directed multiple documentaries such as Revolution and Battle for the City. In his piece for the Journal of Screenwriting, he describes the process of creating a documentary and the scripting process to get a released piece of work. He talks about how most documentaries must start with a proposal or a defined idea
the bible lies Julius Wallhausen who came up with what is now known as the “Documentary Hypothesis”. The Documentary Hypothesis states that the first five books of the bible were put together from independent different sources, labeled J(Yawhist), E(Elohist), D(Deuteronomic) and the P(Priestly) source (Coogan, pgs 51-55). This paper will provide a short summary of each source, as well as the importance that this hypothesis might have on a bible reader and how it can change
First, what is documentary hypothesis? It had been commonly believe that Moses wrote the first five books of Torah/ Old Testament. Julius Wellhausen explains that the Pentateuch was developed from independent, parallel and complete narratives, which were combined into the current form by a series of redactors (editors). there were four main sources, combined into their final form by a series of redactors, R. These four sources came to be known as the Yahwist, or Jahwist, J; the Elohist, E; the
There are many biblical scholars in this world that believe in the JEDP theory when the Old Testament should be looked at as one literary whole. The JEDP theorists believe that the Old Testament was compiled by four different sources; the Yahwist, Elohist, Deuteronomist, and Priestly sources. There are many passages in the bible that can confirm the JEDP theory, but when examined closely one could see the similarities in the passages that were supposedly written at different times by different
A state must exist in order for a people--for a civilization to exist. A civilization will have little hope of progress and success if the state is without power and control. A state evolves from the creation of laws, beliefs and tribunes through a group of leaders, individuals who feel that specific laws, regulations and beliefs are required for the society that they are in to advance, develop but more importantly, to maintain control. Without these laws states would not form due to the chaos
The Documentary Theory holds that the Pentateuch was composed or compiled from several different documents or traditions written by several different authors. These original documents were argued to favor different styles and names for God, and thus were written by different authors. One document might favor “Elohim,” while another might favor “YHWH.” These sources are generally argued to be source J, E, P, and D. Genesis, however, only shows traces of J, E, and P. Some have even further subdivided
Definitions: 1) Content analysis is the process of picking apart and closely observing a subject matter. 2) Ageism is the discrimination of people based on their age. Hypothesis: That I will find no women over the age 30 pictured in an issue of Playboy Magazine. In this paper I plan to prove that the hypothesis stated above is true because in society youth is considered a both beautiful and desirable quality to posses. Because Playboy Magazine is a popular magazine aimed at male readers
Throughout our lives, we search for the truth. We want to know what is, what was, and what will be. However, it is inevitable that the truth we want will not be what we discover. The truth hurts and when we want to believe something we manipulate it to be true. Society has grown to accept only what it wants to view as the truth. We’ve become blind to reality as our world has been depicted to be something it’s not. In both our personal and professional lives, it’s up to us to find ourselves and truly
Exploring the Structure of Documentaries and Fictional Programs At first glance you would think that a fictional program and a documentary couldn’t be more dissimilar from each other, but they do have their similarities. Naturally sometimes these two types of program are different in the way they do things due to the message they are trying to get across or the mood they are trying to set but methods they use to achieve these things are much the same. They both share the same camera
Strathdee and fellow English scholars, today we take a journey into the world of ballroom dancing. Ballroom dancing, although not a dance of individualism, it also rebels against the label of conformity often thrown at it. Our task was to compare the documentary ‘Absolutely Ballroom’, and the movie ‘Strictly Ballroom’. To properly undertake our task we were compelled to lose ourselves in the plots, music and techniques used in both films. Both show us the highs and lows of songs, elaborate dance routines
That something special was what Scarelli had in mind in the summer of 2004 after he helped direct a documentary about media literacy for Project Genesis, a nonprofit teen center and in Hillsboro. After spending the summer with the teens, he saw their creativity grow; he also noted that their desire to learn more about directing and the arts grew as the weeks went on. By the time the documentary was finished, Scarelli spoke with Deborah Whitaker-Duncklee, a youth counselor who runs Project Genesis
activist documentary. I would recommend the film because it sets out to prove something and it does so. I'll bet anything that it will make (or has made) the blood of both liberals and conservatives boil, if for different reasons. When Rupert Murdoch launched Fox News in 1996, its CEO (or Chairman, 1 of the 2!) Roger Ailes said, "We'd like to be premier journalists and restore objectivity." Which is like a tobacco company spokesman insisting cigarette smoking doesn't cause cancer. The documentary zeroes
drinks in a karaoke bar. In comparison to Yu’s families shack on the side of the river he is living a luxurious life. Two teens with two different backgrounds were chosen to represent the changes in China within this documentary and we are going to explore why. The narrator of this documentary mentioned multiple times how the China his grandfather once knew no longer exists. This could be caused by normal change or the fast rising of the water, but the affect is the same. If his grandfather came back to
A humble documentary with a big goal, “The Naked Brand” presents the idea of how corporations give due treatment to their customers, workers, and overall, the planet. It was produced in year 2013 by Director Sherng-Lee Huang. Raised in New Orleans, and studied in Amherst College with a B.A. major in English degree, Huang started off as an ‘accidental’ filmmaker and started uploading funny videos in YouTube. He is currently a video producer, director, editor, and cinematographer, specializing in new
viewing of the documentary “The Queen of Versailles” was an eye opener, going into the film we don’t feel sorry for what is about to happen to them but towards the end we find that nothing will make them happy. The documentary does an incredible job of showing us a world that we will probably never see, as well as, showing us what’s really important in life. It does a great job of portraying the American dream and all the problems they may come with creating that dream. The documentary begins in 2008
Lastly, it provides a synthesis of the film’s story through making direct connections to the course concepts of conscious rap and Black radicalism in music, controlling images, and oppositional difference. In general, 13th is a thought-provoking documentary providing an in-depth look at the United States prison system and its relation to the exploitation of the criminal clause loophole in the 13th Amendment. Accordingly, this film exposes how the 13th Amendment provides legal cover for our court and
The film “Balibo”, released in 2009, accurately portrays the brutality of the incidents that occurred during the movement for independence in East Timor, 1975. It focuses on the investigation of the murders of five journalists (also known as the Balibo five) working for Australian companies by Roger East, also an Australian journalist. The representation of this story is precise as seen through the props, costuming, actors, the setting and the sequence of events. Although the directors had assistance
How have the filmmakers of The Cove and Blackfish used techniques to generate empathy for animal rights? A documentary intent is to educate and inform their audience on a certain topic or social change. Blackfish (2014) directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite strongly argues that Orcas should not be held in captivity, and having the Orcas in captivity is not only harmful to the animals, but also to humans working with them. It focuses on showcasing how killer whales are highly intelligent, social and
The film American Winter is a documentary based in Portland, Oregon. It followed several families on their struggle through hard times that lead to each family facing a different problematic outcome. Some families lost their jobs, others lost their homes, and all fought to feed their families. The film went against the grain of the image that many people associate lower class and poor families with. Each family was making ends meet, living fairly comfortably until a rough patch hit, and were then
