CH 05 Overview
Mise-en-Scène, the subject of Chapter 5, is a notoriously slippery concept to define or explain.
Although you should pay attention to the subtleties of the discussion throughout the chapter, the most
fundamental thing you should remember about mise-en-scène is that it is comprised of two major
visual elements: design and composition. In popular understanding, mise-en-scène is often equated
solely with design—with costumes and set design especially—and often only with elaborately designed
“costume dramas.” But as Chapter 5 makes clear, design is only one part of what makes up a movie's
mise-en-scène and every movie, not just elaborate costume dramas, has a mise-en-scène.
Most of the elements of design—costumes, hair, makeup, setting and decor—will seem self-evident to
you. Make sure, however, not to overlook that lightingis also an important design element, and is
almost always carefully controlled by the filmmakers to achieve certain effects. You'll learn more about
lighting in Chapter 6 (Cinematography).
Composition, the second major visual element of mise-en-scène, is itself composed of two major
elements: framing and kinesis. The discussion of framing in the text is relatively straightforward, but
make sure that you acknowledge and understand how offscreen space functions as a dynamic
variable in composition, and how open and closed framing differ from each other. When movement
is added to static composition, as it always is in movies, the space outside of the frame becomes an
important part of our viewing experience, and thus an important part of mise-en-scène.

Pratt Institute Understanding Gender Identities Research Paper
(Great English is a must!! No grammar errors!) (5 Full Pages, APA Forma) (Read the entire request) -------------------------------- Subject of the paper: Literature Review Psychology of Gender/Sex Roles Requirement: Your task is to write a literature review on the topic of your choice. Specifications: 5-6 pages (anything over is fine, but pretty please no more than 10). This page limit only includes the text of your paper, not the title page or references, an abstract isn’t necessary for a homework assignment. You will need to find 6 strong peer-reviewed scientific sources. Paper is 12 or 11 pt font with 1” margins. Attempt APA style, you won’t be graded on your APA style….but attempt it, you will need to know it for nearly any science writing. Here is a good website to help you learn it if you’ve never used it. They have a visual example paper there as well so you can see the style. (I will not accept the paper if you don’t attempt APA style) http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ The Paper: For this paper I want you to review any topic in the Psychology of Gender/Sex Roles that interests you. You can literally pick anything you want to review as long as it’s related back to the science of studying Sex and Gender roles in some way. A review question for a smaller paper like this should focus on a narrow question of interest within a field. Other information: Basic Format: You can feel free to stray from this basic format, but this is just to help for people who may be lost in how to structure a research review paper. Title page (no abstract needed) Introduction – what is the question you are asking and what do you already know about it…or think you know about it? Try to draw the reader in as well as defining the parameters of the review The Body – take a paragraph or two to discuss each of your sources, and how they help to answer your research question separately (this can be organized many different ways, check out the writing guides posted on LMS) Nearing the conclusion – How does the research you found tie together to complement each other to answer your question. Additionally, do the articles contradict each other at all? (an easy way to think about this is to imagine all the scientists in the room together talking about this topic, what would the conversation look like?) Conclusion – what did you find, what questions do you still have that are left unanswered. And what’s the next step you would take if you could ask another question on the topic References – in APA style (like the rest of your paper. Use that online writing guide I link to above, its very easy to use and contains a sample paper) Places to look for research: http://library.pratt.edu/ your library is amazing. Use it! Librarians are also amazing, use them….but politely! Use the databases section to search collections of articles. Psych info/Psych articles will be very useful for you. But so might sociology, education, etc. depending on your topic http://scholar.google.com if you use this search engine from a Pratt internet connection, they should tell you on the side bar of the search which articles Pratt has full access to for free! Keep in mind google scholar sometimes links to blogs and other sources that aren’t the best. You will need to use a more critical eye than you would if you were using the library research databases. This means searching the sources you find to make sure they are from a peer-reviewed scientific journal Acceptable types of sources: Gold standard: peer-reviewed research papers found through the library databases. These can be original research, or peer-reviewed Review or meta review papers on a topic. Magazines like Psychology Today do not count as peer-reviewed research. Silver: Books published by notable scientists in their field (means you have to check their credentials, what training they have, if other peers doing similar work get similar results, and if they’ve published results in peer-reviewed journals before) Bronze: Interviewing a scientist who does this work yourself, whether in a live or written interview format Don’t even think about it: Blogs, random webpages run by one person, Wikipedia entries, pop culture scientists like Dr. Phil/Dr. Oz that don’t actually do research. Feelings or opinions not backed up by empirical evidence. Journalistic sources are not scientific sources. If the newspaper article cites science then it is your job to search the databases for work by that scientist so you can read it yourself. Examples of journalistic sources: NYtimes, psychology today, Washington Post, The Guardian, etc. Format: APA FormatNo plagiarism is accepted *** The work will be checked for plagiarism through Turnitin by the professor. It is essential for everything to be free of plagiarism otherwise sanctions will be imposed*** -------- Thank you for your support

SOCW 4001 Walden University Escaping Poverty Discussion
Discussion 1 (a)Defining PovertyDo you have an image of what it means to live in poverty? Perhaps your image is formed by depictions in literature, on television, or in political rhetoric. Perhaps you have a personal experience with trying to live below the poverty line. If you don’t have personal experiences trying to “get by” below the poverty line, do you know where the poverty line lies? For this Discussion, you will visit the Economic Policy Institute to understand what it might take to make ends meet in your own family.To PrepareVisit the Economic Policy Institute websites listed in the Learning Resources. The EPI has developed a formula to determine what it takes for a family to “make ends meet,” taking into account family size and place of residence.Begin by reading about the assumptions on which they base their calculations of a basic family budget.Next, use their basic family budget calculator to find out what they would estimate it would cost your family size to live in your area.Describe the EPI’s estimation of what it costs your family to live in your area.Describe what you or your family would have to give up to live within the EPI’s budget.Explain how easy or hard it would be to give those things up.Determine if the definition of what constitutes poverty is realistic.For example, is the poverty line too low? Is it too high? How would your life change, and is it plausible to maintain key aspects of your life when living below the poverty line?Discussion 1(b) Escaping PovertyHow do you work to prevent poverty as social workers? Many of your client populations and the communities you work with will be in poverty. Social insurance and personal responsibility are ways in which policymakers work toward preventing poverty. Developing a poverty threshold is a measure that policymakers use when working toward preventing poverty in the formulation of social welfare policies.For this Discussion, you examine limitations and problems with the poverty threshold and how these problems affect a person’s ability to escape poverty.To PrepareVisit the Economic Policy Institute websites listed in the Learning Resources. The EPI has developed a formula to determine what it takes for a family to “make ends meet,” taking into account family size and place of residence.Begin by reading about the assumptions on which they base their calculations of a basic family budget.Next, use their basic family budget calculator to find out what they would estimate it would cost your family size to live in your area.PostDescribe two limitations and/or problems with the poverty threshold.Explain how these problems affect a person’s ability to escape poverty.Explain which estimate of poverty better aligns with your colleague’s stated ability to escape poverty: the EPI’s budget or DHHS poverty threshold.
