UMB Film Dracula 1992 Directed by Francis Ford Coppola Essay
General InstructionsFor each of the two papers, you will be responsible for watching a film, writing a 3 to 5 page essay in which you respond to prompts (see below), and then providing a list of “My Criteria for Quality in Film.”THE PROCESS:Make any and all arrangements necessary to view the films and write about them: Some of the films may be available for streaming via Netflix or another online content provider; others may be available for checkout from your local public library, while others may need to be rented. You are better off watching these films on the largest possible screen, and at the highest possible resolution.Make Time to Complete the Assignment: Each paper requires you to watch a film IN ADDITION to the ones you will be watching for the week’s discussion, so be sure to leave yourself enough time to: watch the film, think, write a first draft, edit and revise.Turn your assignments in by their respective due dates to the correct assignment folder in LEO.THE CONTENT:These assignments are reaction papers, not plot summaries or research papers. Write what you have to say about the film, not what others have said, but know how the film was made The papers will be graded based on:a) Evidence that you are reading and viewing the course content, comparisons to other relevant films you have seen (in class and as a movie watcher); use of the film vocabulary introduced in class and college-level writing skills (spelling, punctuation, and grammar).b) Clear presentation of your opinions and reasonable explanations and justifications to support those opinions: In a 100-level course, you would perhaps be asked to write about what you watched on the screen. In a 200-level course, you are being asked to say what you think about what you watched. In this 300-level course, you should explain why you think the way you do about the film, and then justify your opinions with explanations (using references found in the weekly content in the LEO classroom).Be sure to correctly spell the names listed in the credits of directors, actors, screenwriters, and other people (to avoid "points" being taken off of the final grade for that paper).These papers are about your observations, insights and evaluations not only what you can learn by reading up on the film or the filmmaker. Do not just repeat what you find online. Think carefully before you write, be creative and apply what you have been learning in this course.First Paper Assignment: Film One (F1)Part 1: View a feature film made between 1940 - 1970 you have not seen before (or will see later in this class) by a great director. Many directors were active both before and after 1970 so make sure you see a pre-1970 FEATURE fiction film.Suggestion: American directors such as Frank Capra, George Cukor, John Ford, George Stevens, Preston Sturges, Billy Wilder, or William Wyler. Foreign directors such as Ingmar Bergman (Swedish), Luis Buñuel (Spanish), Claude Chabrol (French), Federico Fellini (Italian), Akira Kurosawa (Japanese), Lina Wertmuller (German) or the British team known as “The Archers” made up of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. For other possibilities, try: http://www.filmsite.org/directors.html Comment on the specific film you saw in terms of its genre and the quality of the film itself. Pay attention to the camerawork (cinematography) the editing (montage) and the sound (including music). What did you like and what did you dislike? Why do you like the things you like, and why do you dislike the things you dislike? Finally, is the film successful in creating a work of fiction using the craft of filmmaking and considering when it was made? (Note: This is not the same question as whether or not you liked it. It is entirely possible to like a film that you are aware is not very good.)Part 2: Draw some general conclusions about the work of the director and one of the main actors or actresses. For example let us say you watched the 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia. Did you like David Lean as a filmmaker? Explain your answer. Did you like Peter O’Toole in the role of Larwrence? Why, or why not?End with your overall impression of the film, including how you see it as an example of the its genre and time period. PARTS ONE AND TWO SHOULD BE PRESENTED AS A SINGLE ESSAY!Part 3: On a separate page, insert the heading "My Criteria for Quality in Film." Under that heading, propose four general statements indicative of your personal taste in movies. These statements should be numbered (1) through (4), and they should be written as complete sentences or a short paragraph. For example, if you commented in your essay that you liked the acting because it was realistic and you liked the script because it had a happy ending, you could propose these two statements as criteria for quality: "(1) Excellent movies feature realistic acting. (2) A movie is more likely to be good if it ends happily." Think about and then explain what words such as good, excellent, and effective actually mean. Be sure to save your "My Criteria" page to your hard drive—you will be resubmitting an expanded version of it with for the second paper later in this course.Second Paper Assignment: Film TwoThis is essentially the same assignment as Paper One BUT about a film produced between 1970 and 2000.Part 1: View a feature film made between 1970 – 2000 you have not seen before (or will see later in this class) by a great director or featuring a great actor or actress. Just as you did in the first paper, comment on the specific film you saw. Pay particular attention to the screenplay, camerawork (cinematography) the editing (montage) and the sound (including music). for this paper, also address special effects. Again, as you did in the first paper, talk about what you like and what you dislike? Why do you like the things you like, and why do you dislike the things you dislike? Is the film a good film, or is it not?Part 2: Now that you have commented on the specific film you viewed, see if you can draw some general conclusions about the work of the director and one of the main actors or actresses. Be sure to comment on the overall impression you had of the film, including how you see it as an example of the its genre and time period. Remember, this is film review based on your opinions and insights: do not repeat what you have learned by reading up on the film or the filmmaker.Part 3: Go back to the "My Criteria for Quality in Film" page. Based on your viewing of this week's film, add four new general conclusions. These statements should be numbered (5) through (8). Be sure to include all of the criteria you created for Paper One.

Carlos Albizu University Balance Sheet and Income Statement Discussion
Reply Principles of Finance Balance sheet Vs income statement Reply to each Peer about their post. Balance sheet Vs income statement Discussion Reply 1 Paola: Hi! While it is true that both the balance sheet and income statement serve equal purpose for an organization, would you be able to give specific application for each? For example, if I was to look into borrowing funds for a new venture, which statement will I require to give me a better understanding of this move is feasible or not, will it be the income statement or the balance sheet? Regards, Paolo Balance sheet Vs income statement Discussion Reply to Paola: This week’s discussion takes us to the interesting world of financial reporting and statements. These reports and statements are crucial, not only to show the current financial status of an organization, but more notably, to project and assess future financial planning steps. According to Melicher (2017), financial statements are governed and constructed by utilizing generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which are devised by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). This week, balance sheets and income statements are the focus of discussion. The balance sheet or financial snapshot is a time-sensitive report, usually quarterly or yearly, of a company’s financial situation which contains two (2) key elements: assets and liabilities (Melicher, 2017). Assets are composed of financial or physical objects owned by the organization such as cash or securities, while liabilities are the list of the organization’s debt or obligations (Melicher, 2017). Another key element to consider when talking about balance sheets is owner’s equity. Owners' equity is defined as the investment of the shareholders or owner of the organization, most of the time arises from the initial cash investment to start the business or procurement of an asset such as equipment or real estate. Owner’s equity is reflected on the balance sheet as the discrepancy between total assets and total liabilities of an organization (Melicher, 2017). On the other hand, the income statement, utilizing the accrual model, represents the revenues produced and expenses acquired by an organization over a specific accounting period which can be quarterly or annually (Melicher, 2017). In discussing the main difference between the balance sheet and income statement, Melicher (2017) stated, “Whereas the income statement reflects the firm's operations over time, the balance sheet is a snapshot at a point in time” (p. 393). The importance of a balance sheet and income statement in evaluating the overall performance and health of an organization cannot be understated. Businesses require these two reports to appropriately prioritize financial steps and identify areas of concern which can be addressed timely to avoid any major impacts business operations. In my opinion, one is no more important than the other as both reports serve different but significant purposes for any organization. Reference: Melicher, R., & Norton, A. (2017). Introduction to finance: Markets, investments, and financial management (16th ed.). John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Balance sheet Vs income statement Discussion Reply to Rylee: Hello Professor Armas and Class, This week we were asked to evaluate and discuss the purpose of balance sheets and income statements, and which one we perceive to be more valuable. Financial reports/statements can help executives make difficult decision effectively and efficiently (West Coast University, 2020). The reports/statements provide an overview of a business’s financial “health” and include three main statements; income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flow. Melicher (2017) states,“The balance sheet is a statement of a company's financial position as of a particular date, usually at the end of a quarter or year. Whereas the income statement reflects the firm's operations over time, the balance sheet is a snapshot at a point in time”. It is a statement of a company’s/businesses financial position and lists its assets, liabilities, and owner equity at a particular point in time. In a nutshell, the balance sheet illustrates the company’s/businesses net worth (Ward, 2020). It can also show details from previous years which allows comparison, helps keep track of performance, and will shed light on ways to build the companies/businesses finances as well as where improvement may be needed. The balance sheet can also be used to determine how a company/business can meet their financial obligations. Another important statement is the income statement. It shows how much a company has made in a specified period of time, whether it be last year, last quarter, or last month (Kimball, 2016). It includes the amount of money the company/business brought in and subtracted by the expenses such as cost of supplies, pay roll, building rental etc…When all deductions are made, the result is the company/businesses net income or net last for the specified time period. Both reports are important, especially when banks are trying to determine if the company/business ears enough to repay a requested loan, they verify profit, and highlights trouble areas (Kimball, 2016). Both documents allow investors to learn about the business/company and should be reviewed together. When comparing both documents, I believe that the balance sheet is the most important document when illustrating the health of a businesses. References: Kimball, T. (2016, September 29).
