Internet set to overtake TV as most complained-about ad medium | Media The internet is on the brink of overtaking television as the most complained-about advertising medium in the UK, with the ad regulator recording a surge of almost 300% in the number of consumers registering concerns over digital campaigns to more than 10,000 last year. The Advertising Standards Authority – the body responsible for investigating consumer complaints into advertising content – said that overall there was a 25% year-on-year increase in the total number of complaints about all UK advertising in 2011 to a record 31,458. However, the biggest area of growth in complaints was the internet, with a 282% surge in the number received about online advertising campaigns between 2010 and 2011, rising to 10,123. This quantum jump puts internet advertising a whisker behind the most complained about media, TV, which saw a 20% year-on-year decline in complaints last year to 11,245, about 5,556 commercials. The ASA is funded by a small levy on the cost of media buying by agencies.

Docuseek2 Phones 4U ad rings up most complaints of 2011 | Media The Phones 4U ad attracted 659 complaints to the ASA A commercial for the mobile phone company Phones 4u featuring a ghost-like child was the most-complained about advertisement last year. The latest Advertising Standards Authority figures show a sharp increase in complaints in 2011, up 25% over the previous year to a record 31,458. The Phones 4u campaign, which took inspiration from horror films such as The Ring, prompted 659 complaints. In second place was a Littlewoods TV ad, which garnered 585 complaints for disclosing that Father Christmas does not bring presents. Phones 4u managed to get three campaigns in the ASA's top 10 most complained-about ads of 2011. The second, an Easter press campaign featuring a cartoon image of Jesus Christ winking and offering "miraculous deals" on a mobile phone, attracted nearly 100 complaints and was banned after being ruled likely to cause serious offence. Travel Palestine had the fifth most complained-about ad of the year.

FilmSound.org: dedicated to the Art of Film Sound Design & Film Sound Theory Musicals101.com Homepage ::: Arts on Film Archive ::: Dialogues & Film Retrospectives The Dialogue and Retrospective series (1990–2020) was begun by Walker film and video curator Bruce Jenkins (1985–1999), who envisioned it as a forum for the critical exploration of the medium and a way to highlight the vast diversity of contemporary filmmakers, from experimental and documentary to international. The program continued through 2020 under the leadership and vision of senior curator Sheryl Mousley, whose contributions reflected her interest in the world-wide independent film movement. Cinema shapes our cultural landscape and informs our understanding of the world. Starting with Clint Eastwood in 1990 and ending with Bong Joon Ho and Julia Reichert in 2020, over sixty guests, including international and American masters, independent visionaries, artists, auteurs, and leading screen actors, have provided insight into the way they think about and make contemporary film. An in-depth film retrospective, shown in the Walker Cinema, accompanied each Dialogue.

Open ebook: Documentary Making for Digital Humanists This fluent and comprehensive field guide responds to increased interest, across the humanities, in the ways in which digital technologies can disrupt and open up new research and pedagogical avenues. It is designed to help scholars and students engage with their subjects using an audio-visual grammar, and to allow readers to efficiently gain the technical and theoretical skills necessary to create and disseminate their own trans-media projects. Documentary Making for Digital Humanists sets out the fundamentals of filmmaking, explores academic discourse on digital documentaries and online distribution, and considers the place of this discourse in the evolving academic landscape. The book walks its readers through the intellectual and practical processes of creating digital media and documentary projects. It is further equipped with video elements, supplementing specific chapters and providing brief and accessible introductions to the key components of the filmmaking process.

Open ebook: Exploring Movie Construction & Production: What’s so exciting about movies? The introduction to the textbook makes clear its intention, and I think that for a community college film appreciation course this resource could suffice. Having taught that very class at the community college level myself and comparing my own curriculum to the content within, the scope of this text I find too narrow where it counts. That said, if common film themes and genre are the major focus of course design, this is a good resource since the longest chapter by far focuses solely on film genres. Dramatic structure and character are also given sufficient treatment here. The textbook is in some places inaccurate I'm sorry to say, particularly with terminology in the production section. In writing this text, which like all film studies books uses movie examples to clarify the points it makes, the author focuses on three diverse films in film history to reference. Even the longer chapters here are divided into smaller sections by topic, making for easy assigned reading.

28 Days, 28 Films for Black History Month It has been almost a year since Barry Jenkins’s “Moonlight” won the Oscar for best picture. This awards season, Jordan Peele’s “Get Out” and Dee Rees’s “Mudbound” have received multiple nominations and accolades, optimistic signs that black filmmakers are receiving more opportunities in the movie industry. Soon these titles will be joined by two of the most anticipated releases of the year: Ryan Coogler’s “Black Panther,” the first Marvel superhero movie from a black director, and Ava DuVernay’s “A Wrinkle in Time,” the first movie with a $100 million budget directed by a black woman. The critical and box-office success of “Get Out” and the very existence of big-studio productions like “Black Panther” are good reasons to revisit the remarkable, complex story of black filmmaking in America. We begin in the 1920s with Oscar Micheaux (1884-1951), a novelist and bold, prolific independent filmmaker. Our selections for subsequent decades are exclusively the work of black directors. Mr.
