Devising a Documentary Project
PART 1
1.
I would like to make a documentary about working in a busy movie theater. It will show what it is like for employees working behind the scenes of the movie-going experience: from the people running the projections booths, to the concessionists serving popcorn and cold drinks, to the ushers cleaning up after patrons when the movie is over. The documentary will highlight the more humorous sequences and areas that result from working in the service-related area and often being invisible to the public.

This mode will be a combination of direct cinema and aesthetic/experiential. I do not plan on doing voice over: I want the scenes to speak for themselves, but I also want the scenes to be real and authentic, so there will be a lot of following of the crew around before shooting begins.

Part 2
The goals of this documentary are to: 1) record, reveal and preserve,...
It may true that underlying these aims there is a goal to promote the average person working in the service industry and to get the public to think more about what they do.
For this documentary I want to intermingle the romanticism and attraction to fantasy that is involved in going to the movies for the public with the reality and grittiness and humble humor that is involved in serving these patrons. The combination of these two elements will allow for all of these tendencies to emerge beautifully. First, the goal is to reveal this secret world of the movie theater worker—to see what they are seeing; to see the movie going experience from their eyes, as they deal with the rushes, the crowds, the spills, the messes, and then to see them in their down time when all the patrons are safely packed away in their movie theaters. It will be revealing and humorous for movie patrons to be watching a movie on the big screen about what the movie theater workers are doing just outside the doors.
There is also the element of interrogation involved in this documentary. What goes on behind the scenes? How is a theater cleaned out? How does a theater function? What goes on in the projection booth or when big bags of popcorn seed are delivered along with boxes of syrups and candy? Who puts it all away? What is…
This debate is stated to have been lost by Bethe and he finally agreed to work as a consultant since he had failed to dissuade the building of a thermonuclear bomb and provided contributions to the effort focused toward design of the bomb. In contrast the physicist Teller had "been obsessed with the need to develop the hydrogen bomb ever since Enrico Fermi, suggested the possibility to him in
Crisis Communication: Overcoming Barriers When Crafting an Effective Risk Communication Strategy When a disaster strikes, there is no time for planning, and what is already in place must therefore suffice. One of the most important factors to emerge from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina was the need for more effective communications between the relief agencies, U.S. military and civil law enforcement. Effective communications between these agencies and the people that needed
Anthro If Anna Tsing, author of In the Realm of the Diamond Queen, were to apply her methodologies, theories, and approaches to ethnography to the Nuer people, the result would be a far different book than E.E.E. Pritchard's (1969) The Nuer. Flipping the perspective would completely alter Tsing's goals in the research, and the view the researcher takes on what the appropriate role of the ethnographer is to provide context and
Fifth, the NCLB is devoid of any meaningful consequences for failing to achieve federal objectives other than the publication of such failures in conjunction with the rights of parents to request transfers of their children to better-performing academic institutions (Darling-Hammond 2004). Critics have suggested that the most likely result of enforcement of such limited consequences for noncompliance is the overcrowding of institutions who fulfill the federal requirements to their detriment
Ryan Dawson (2011) helps illustrate the way ideology shapes foreign policy by digging into Project for a New American Century files and showing how the PNAC reports are basically a lobbying tool for Israel. Dawson refers viewers of his documentary to PNAC many times in his attempt to show how the papers lay out the blueprint for American foreign policy post-9/11: "The policy of 'containment' of Saddam Hussein has been
