AssignmentThis week’s assignment involves watching two movies, one from list A, the other from list B. The movies in list A tend more toward the serious—i.e. dramas; list B features movies that lean toward the comedic, or at least the absurd. All films are available through the Swank streaming video database, accessible through the FSW library website. After watching one selection of your choice from each list, you will write a short synopsis of both films, and then a brief analysis of a scene from one-and only one-of the movies.Start off with a brief synopsis of the one you aren’t analyzing. Be sure and include some details as you go, details like how the film was paced, and how the scenes and technical details contributed to the overall dramatic or comedic effect of the movie. Next, give a brief synopsis of your second film, then focus on one scene that seemed particularly effective. Get inside the structure of the scene, looking at things like how the shots are set up, how the sequence is edited (the cuts) for effect, how the lighting and direction and acting contribute. Is the scene comedic or dramatic (be mindful that a dramatic scene can appear in a comedy and vice versa)? Does the ambience or set or lighting of the scene seem to contribute to the overall effect? Does the scene in some way join meaningfully to the broader message of the movie? Be sure and use some of the terms that have been learned in this course to give rigor to your analysis.Post your synopses and analysis. Feel free to use any visuals that you think would help, or that might make the posting look good. Your posting should be at least 350 words. This assignment will be assessed on its formal clarity, the quality of the writing and editing, its degree of engagement with its topic, its creativity/inventiveness/originality of ideas, and the sophistication of thought it expresses.Dramas in list A and Comedies in List BList A (Dramas)List B (Comedies)MoonlightBeing John MalkeovichThe PianoDr. StrangeloveArrivalSome Like It HotCasablancaLost in TranslationIf you need assistance with assignments, please click on the "How" icon.Rubric2020 Blog Post/Writing Rubric2020 Blog Post/Writing RubricCriteriaRatingsPtsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeContentAbility to incorporate and synthesize learned material into written responses that are accurate and meaningful, and which reflect student's grasp on, and ability to think independently about, course content.35 ptsExceptionalStudent shows mastery of the relevant information and ideas, and demonstrates deep thinking on the topic.

Overview This assignment is a continuation of the employee satisfaction survey results that you saw in Module Two. Review the survey results and utilize the findings to complete this activity. The vice president of your organization has asked you to analyze the gaps found in the employee engagement survey and then develop a personal development plan that you will utilize to address these leadership gaps. You also need to include the plan in the adaptive leadership toolkit that you will create in the next module. Other leaders can use your personal development plan as a guide for creating their own development plans. Prompt Gap Analysis: Evaluate the survey results and consider which leadership competencies are apparently lacking, resulting in the negative trends you have identified. Leadership Competencies: Identify competencies that you need to develop, according to the results of your Leadership Circle self-assessment, to make an impact on the negative trends you see. SMART Goal Setting: Create your personal development plan using SMART. Keep in mind your personal development plan will be used as an exemplar for the rest of the organization. Use the Personal Development Plan template.
