Macbeth Talkshow

By Giovanni DiCastelnuovo, Tibor Barankay, Lyev Pitram, Josiah Jones

Host Duncan, his son Malcolm, Thanes Banquo and Macduff, one of the Witches, and the servant Seyton discuss the transformation of Macbeth after he heard the witches prophecies until his death at the hands of Macduff.

LATE NIGHT AT FIFE - Macbeth Talk Show

By Miles Hall, Ben Fernandez-Sheinbaum, Samuel Abrams, and Vincent Allen.

This is a lighthearted talk show, focusing on Macduff investigating Macbeth’s transformation. I know that Malcolm becomes king, but Malcolm has less of a relationship with Macbeth, and so he was overwritten in favor of Macduff being King. Artistic license!

Macbeth Interview

This talk show was post Macbeth’s beheading, and all the characters (except Macduff) are in the afterlife. The characters tell the definition of the Macbeth they used to know, but as their deaths happened later and later in the story, the more it is made apparent that Macbeth has been changed as a character entirely.

Jordan Mallard capstone

In the briefest terms, my project consisted of mimicking an accessory to blockbuster films. Camera cars; are normal cars but with cameras strapped and wrapped to the top of them being able to flux on close to about 5 different axes. When I originally planned and mapped out this idea, I was under the impression that I’d be able to make what I wanted, with the vehicle of my choice; enter the Kamera Kart. The kamera kart was originally supposed to be a rudimentary product that could squeeze the fun out whether you were recording or just simply cruising for fun. I was under this impression until a hiccup in the process happened and required me to switch gears (quite literally and figuratively) and move over to a car.

after waiting for some time to hear back from my mentors I was finally able to get down to business. but that business needed to be done in a short amount of time, which put me in quite the pickle, but after coming to terms with that, I decided to just craft up a prototype of what my masterpiece could look like.

what you see before you is my initial attempt at creating a miniature scale camera car. a lot of tedious mental effort went into this project. what once was supposed to be a go-kart with a camera on it turned into almost a full-scale camera car

below is my first rendition and the process of me creating it.

Capstone - Stephanie Lorenzo

For my capstone, I decided to make a mini documentary and a research paper about baile folklorico. it’s something that means a lot to me. I’ve danced for about 7 years but had to stop because of covid. It’s something that connected me to my culture and heritage, and it’s also where I met a lot of friends.

Anatomy of Roma - Jannah and Valeria

Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Oh1pZ9x4G6E3_TCOuAteZPT-NnfBdhfR/view?usp=sharing

Script:

Jannah: The introduction of this scene starts with the camera facing towards the back of Cleo in the car approaching a walking crowd. You’re not aware of what exactly is going on at first. You’re able to see beyond Cleo and the driver and realize that there’s a peaceful protest going on. The camera then cuts and shows Cleo She says “look there leaving.” and Teresa says while reading her newspaper, I hope they don’t get beat again. This goes to show Cleo’s urgent needs for her baby and explains why it wasn’t much of a reaction in the beginning for none of them. It appears that this has already happened before.

Valeria: The camera is now at eye level as Cleo and Teresa get out of the car. On the right we can see people painting a sign, indicating that they’re getting ready to join the protest. The chanting is still going on in the background. This scene transitions to Multiple guards on duty and stations in their trucks. The director purposefully used this scene to show the guards but to also show Cleo calmly walking towards the store. Dolly Tracking is used to capture Cleo and Teresa in between the Military vehicles. While they’re walking you can hear protestors singing the Mexican national anthem. Most of the guards are seen on duty standing lazily and smoking cigarettes.

Jannah: The camera focuses on a building with letters in the window from a low far shot. In front of the building, You can see guards standing readily by the protesters. The scene then cuts to the camera looking from one of the particular windows. It takes the viewer from such a busy scene to the viewer trying to look through the window. The black and white setting makes the scene seem serene, making the viewers not aware of what the protesters are feeling.

Valeria: Then a new image wipes off the precious image, now focusing on some clocks inside a display case and we can see their reflections on the glass as they move.

Jannah: Dolly tracking is used as they are walking towards the crib, the camera starts to pan, the lady is walking away and the people are seen peacefully shopping. Cleo and Teresa’s conversation fades away and is replaced by gunshots and yelling that’s coming from outside.

Valeria: A random man enters the store and runs to the window to see what’s happening and everyone at the store follows him, everyone looks confused. The camera slowly pans to show us what they’re looking at, people running and chaos happening everywhere.

Jannah: We then see how Teresa and Cleo are looking through the window in shock and their expression changes when they hear two strangers asking for help. You notice Teresa immediately protecting Cleo by moving her behind her. The frame changes to the camera focusing on the two people screaming for help. We can see the characters in the background hugging and whispering amongst each other since they don’t know what’s happening.

Valeria: We don’t know what this couple did or why the armed people are looking for them but you can feel the tension and fear through the screen. While the camera was focused on the armed people the couple tried to hide in a closet but the bad guys found them. As the bad guys open the door, a gun appears in front of the camera covering part of the frame, but it still lets you see what’s happening behind, as the camera zooms out we see who was holding the gun, Fermin.

Jannah: The shot cuts to Teresa and Cleo, Teresa is praying because she doesn’t know who the man is while Cleo is just standing there speechless watching the father of her baby have the audacity to point a gun at them, you can see how Teresa tries to “protect” Cleo’s baby by putting her hand in front of her stomach, as Fermin flees the scene people run around the store in terror making the viewer feel overwhelmed by everything that just happened.

Valeria: And if that wasn’t enough drama for you Cleo’s water breaks, making everything more scary. I think it’s kind of beautiful how the next scene captures life and death. As Cleo and Teresa are walking out of the store, we can see a woman asking for help while she holds a man in her arms, who’s most likely dead. Cleo is about to bring a human being into the world and a man’s life just ended. This represents the circle of life and how unpredictable life really is.

Jannah: What some people don’t know about this scene is that all the violence and murders that are happening in the movie, actually happened in real life. El halconazo “the hawk strike” was a massacre of students that happened on June 10th, 1971. More than 120 students died in this peaceful protest due to the country’s Governmental negligence.

Candy Man

The story of candyman starts off with a black man being killed for being in love with a white woman and the second version is of him being wrongly accused of handing candy out to children with razor blades in them. People believed that candyman would come back and get revenge back on people for racial injustice. In both films they were attacked by policemen. I was reading the reviews and believed that whenever somebody says candyman and brings attention to his name, it’s equivalent to the black lives matter movement and speaking the names of the ones who didn’t make it, who didn’t get to fight, who didn’t get the chance to have their own voice heard.

During this scene he uses a lot of close up shots to show emotions and make the scene more dark. Especially with the lighting, everything else is dark but there’s one source of light that illuminates the side of the face. There’s a car scene where the wife is sitting in the back of the cop car crying and everything is dark around her except for the flashing lights coming off her face. The camera is panned on her and you can hear the struggle going on from the outside. The director knows how to set the mood with lighting, and sound. There’s a couple moments where it’s just silence and you’re waiting for the next move. Waiting to predict what happens next. Sets the scene for either a jumpscare or a new direction of the story. The director’s shots are very planned out.

In this specific scene where he’s walking along the cop car, This is after he’s been killed and he shows up and they take his wife into custody because they think the crime scene happened because of her because there’s nobody to be seen. And so his wife, she calls on his name and she hopes that his mind is set and clear and he knows not to come for her. So to me and to other people they see this as him getting his second chance to fight because he didn’t get the first chance to fight for himself. So his wife calling on his name is his second chance to be heard, his fate is in his own hands this time. ANd so at the end of the movie candyman comes back and say’s “tell everyone. “To me him saying tell everyone just means spread the word and let everyone know that he’s back and that has their back. Just like with the black lives matter movement, tell everyone to spread the word, keep it alive, keep fighting. So by telling everyone that candy man’s back and he’s helping people back to get their second chance to have their voice put fate into their own hands. I also believe that people are very confused by the bees that come out of his mouth and me personally I feel like the bees represent every soul that has been taken because of a racial problem. So when candyman gets called to fight back those souls of the people are helping him fight back too, to get their revenge their second chance.

Damilola Akinboro and Shaharaim Gill: Anatomy of a Scene - ARRIVAL

Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FQy7CeI3XqgC3rojmjXZ2nHwwHHFJU2w/view?usp=sharing

Damilola: Arrival is a sci-fi thriller movie that was released on November 11, 2016. It stars Amy Adams as Louise Banks who is leading “an elite team of investigators when gigantic spaceships touch down in 12 locations around the world. As nations teeter on the verge of global war, Banks and her crew must race against time to find a way to communicate with the extraterrestrial visitors.”

Damilola: Arrival is a fantastic film with beautiful cinematography and great acting, especially from Amy Adams. The direction by Denis Villeneuve is amazing in the way he’s able to convey the themes and meaning of the story and bring a unique perspective to the “alien invasion” sci-fi genre. Many critics agree too. Brian Tallerico wrote a review for rogerebert.com and said “- this is ambitious, accomplished filmmaking that deserves an audience. It’s a film that forces viewers to reconsider that which makes us truly human and the impact of grief on that timeline of existence. At its best, and largely through Adams’ performance, the film proposes that we’ve all had those days in which communication breaks down and fear over the unknown sets in. And it is the best of us who persevere, get up from being knocked down, and repair that which is broken.”

Shaharaim: Alissa Wilkinson wrote a review for Vox and said: “This is the basic insight of Arrival: That if we were to encounter a culture so radically different from our own that simple matters we take for granted as part of the world as it is were radically shifted, we could not simply gather data, sort out grammar, and make conclusions. We’d have to either absorb a different way of seeing, despite our fear, or risk everything.”

Damilola: There are so many scenes for us to show why this movie is great, but one significant scene we chose was this…

Shaharaim: From the beginning, it starts with this bass-heavy music score, which builds up a lot of tension and awe. Since this is the ‘first contact’ scene, the hype and anxiousness building up are done perfectly. The way that the spaceship’s mechanics are introduced feels natural to the story. Before they enter, you can hear people in the background talk about gravity changing in the rooms, and when you finally get a look at the ship and the gravity is actually changing, it adds a little more mystery to what these aliens are.

Damilola: As they walk through, we get close-up shots and eye-level shots of the characters to see their reactions and the fear and mix of emotions going through them. This helps the audience relate to the characters and have empathy for their situation. The editing and camera movements of the scene are slow to build tension. We feel unsure of what can happen at any moment just like the characters. The sound design is very simple and the music never feels overbearing. It doesn’t feel forced in, it just adds to the uneasy feeling. The scene uses very low lighting as there are a lot of shadows and dark areas with few sources of light until they reach their destination within the ship. Everything feels claustrophobic due to this and they use medium shots that feel like they don’t show everything.

Shaharaim: The optical illusions done in this movie are fascinating as well. When they start to enter the actual main entrance of the ship, you can see a bright white light. At first, it looks like the end of the long corridor, but as they go up higher, and the gravity is reversed, they soon find out that it is in fact the window separating the aliens from the humans. The white window pairs extremely nicely with the ultra-matte black of the room, as it provides the perfect contrast between the known and unknown.

Damilola: Very simple, effective, but breathtaking cinematography. The use of establishing and long shots in this film always feel very purposeful as they show us the scale of the situation and how small humans look compared to bigger things. Now that they are deep inside the ship, it’s time for them to communicate with the aliens. This is one of the most important parts of the film because it not only gets the plot going, but it also adds to the theme of communication and language that this film conveys. This is the scene where Amy Adams’s character tries to communicate with the alien. We aren’t shown anything. We don’t see how the alien looks since it appears to be behind a barrier filled with smoke. This again adds a suspenseful tone. We don’t know what can happen at any moment. The music starts getting louder and more intense. We hear very strange, unfamiliar sounds coming from the alien. Cuts to the human faces again to show their reactions. Then we see the alien’s hands but it looks to either be its shadow or just covered in ink? Without knowing the context of the movie, we don’t have much information. But that wasn’t the point of this particular scene. The point was to set the stakes of the situation and make us, the audience feel uneasy. The director and every department that helped craft this scene delivered.

Shaharaim: I’ve watched this scene multiple times, and I’m still impressed.

Damilola: Well that is the end of this short analysis. Thank you for watching.
