Business Communication
The topic will be how we can systematically look at how audiences respond to specific cinematic techniques.
Who will be your colleagues when you are in a work environment?
Colleagues will be fellow students in this program. I will need to form a team of film students to run the research I want to run. I want to test viewer reactions to two different kinds of segueway. I propose filming a scene from Arthur Miller's play "Death of a Salesman," using two different kinds of segueay: visual fade, and audio overlay. For the visual fade, the scene would fade away. For a visual overlay, the viewers would hear people speaking in the next scene for a second or so before they saw the action, a technique used often in the third Harry Potter film.
What do your colleagues know about your subject?
They are well versed in basic film techniques and know how to use the film techniques to be studied.
Why would your colleagues be interested in your topic?
Often we can only choose what kind of shot to use based on gut instinct. We produce the best film we can and hope the audience will react positively. Some film techniques are used so frequently that viewers don't even notice them, but they can still have an effect on the viewer's opinion of the film.
What do they have to gain from the information you present?
They will have an opportunity to participate in a film production project. Since it will be a team project, they will help decide how we proceed and help write the results. This should be a project that will advance all participants' expertise in their chosen field.
How does what your colleagues have to gain from your subject relate to what they need to work productively?
It will encourage them to think about the film techniques they use from a variety of viewpoints. Although it can't be guaranteed, if we do this project well, it may well be publishable. This would be a valuable thing for the participants to have on their resumes when they graduate.
Business Communication Across Cultures Business Communication is a necessary challenge that each person faces daily. Communication is an aspect of business that is necessary to success and achievement. Many countries in the world are industrialized to the point where their culture is in what is called the information age or the digital age. Digital technology, social media, and information technology are prominent aspects to life, communication and business. This paper will examine
An interesting theory on interpersonal communication was developed by Leon Festinger, and refers to cognitive dissonance. Regarding this theory, cognitive dissonance is represented by an aversive drive that determines individuals to avoid opposing points-of-view, to seek reassurance when making a difficult decision, and to modify their individual beliefs in order to match public behavior in certain conditions (Festinger, 1957). In other words, the theory refers to the differences between behavior
Historically, many companies have been resistant to this commitment due to their focus on the bottom line of the business which has become even more prominent during the current economic downturn. However, several factors have recently companies realize that sustainability is an investment that can generate tangible benefits. Most notably, research is increasingly showing that customers value supporting businesses that are socially responsible (Good business deeds, 2004). There is
All of the phases are continuously present, although one may predominate at different times, depending on the nature of the group. (Wheelan, 1990, 15) Though some would consider the functions stressed by Wheelan above are not reflective of a business group, the truth is that all social situations require a sense of fulfillment of social needs that stresses independence, to some degree. Promotion of its Members' Personal and Professional Development. Some might
" According to Short, Williams, and Christie (1976; cited by Van Den Hooff, Groot & De Jonge, 2005), Social Presence Theory notes that "communication media differ in the degree to which they can communicate (or simulate) the social presence of the communication partners through the use of social cues (both verbal and nonverbal cues)." This theory purports that if a medium can only communicate limited social cues, communication partners do
Business Communication Email is widely used as a form of business communication and overall it is a highly effective communication tool. As difficult as verbal communication may be, written communication in any forum is even more so. Each time, a person interacts communication occurs. In the absence of face-to-face communication, many professionals rely upon gaining one's interest via written form, such as memos, emails, or proposals (Campanizzi, 2005). Email is inexpensive,
