1	Rebels, nudie-cuties, and hipsters : a study of the American genre film archive Kusnierz, Lauren Ashley 14 October 2014 (has links) The American Genre Film Archive is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2009 by Tim League, founder and CEO of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. With a sense of rebellion against established film archives, AGFA is dedicated to the collection of 35mm prints of exploitation films from the 1960s-1980s in order to conserve and distribute these neglected films. A confluence of issues including the history of the films in the collection, AGFA’s connection with the Alamo Drafthouse, and influences from the hipster subcultures combine to inform AGFA’s practices and mission. This thesis will explore how the American Genre Film Archive conforms to and rebels against the established archive community by means of its mission and institutional structure. Also, this thesis will explore AGFA as a hipster institution through its collecting and exhibition practices. AGFA’s roles in the wider film archive community and the hipster community converge into an unusual archive serving unusual films. / text Film archives Alamo Drafthouse American genre film archive Exploitation films Austin, TX Texas Hipsters
2	Trailer jako promluva k potencionálnímu divákovi / Trailer-targeting a potential audience Brůnová, Lada January 2013 (has links) How can movie production companies speak to their potential audience thru movie trailers? Which means do they use and what is the public reception? How does a viewer interpret a movie trailer? What can we learn about viewers from movie trailers? This thesis is offering all the answers to questions mentioned above in two different parts - in the first part the concepts of movie trailers are introduced and explained, the second part analyses the outcomes of a research which studies the affects of movie trailers on potential audience. Collected data through quantitative methods of two uniform groups on the topic of movie trailers were studied by focus groups. This thesis focuses on understanding the approach of viewers on movie trailers and is trying to clarify when the movie trailers can act as a decision maker in order to change the approach and behavior of the audience. Thesis aims to offer a broader overview to the relationship between movie trailers and viewers and propose a guide how to read audiovisual works critically. The intention is to uncover that the scheme between text and context is characterized by complex processes of mediation and interpretation on the level of production, propagation and reception. The outcomes of the study can help to understand how viewers as consumers interpret...
3	Black Feminist Articulations of Race & Gender Within the Horror Film Genre Ortiz, Katherine M 01 January 2019 (has links) The intent of this paper is to explore a black feminist perspective within the film horror genre. A black feminist perspective investigates how black women are portrayed within cinematic horror. It serves as a method to further articulate the particularities of race & gender within cinema. If we leave the cinematic space without a structural model of intervention, then we are left with film that remains unchallenged for ostracizing black women. The paper argues that black women become articulated through themes of motherhood, death, and sexuality. film genre theory horror black feminism cinema studies genre film Film and Media Studies
4	“REENACTING” THE PLOT: Narrative Muster von Remakes und deren Originalen Grahl, Till 09 April 2013 (has links) Das Phänomen Remake ist so alt, wie die Geschichte des Films selbst. Dennoch wird der Begriff immer wieder leichtfertig benutzt, weshalb sich die Arbeit zunächst um die Entwicklung einer praktikablen Arbeitsdefinition bemüht, welche Remakes im engeren Sinne von anderen Formen der Neuinszenierung abgrenzt, bevor in einem nächsten Schritt ausgewählte Original-Remake-Paare einer ausführlichen strukturellen Analyse unterzogen werden: Dazu werden die jeweiligen Filme in ihre einzelnen Szenen aufgegliedert und mit einem Plotschema - dem sogenannten Paradigma nach Syd Field und Hans-Ulrich Mohr - unterlegt, welches neben der allgemeinen Struktur des Films auch für die Handlung besonders relevante Szenen offenlegt und strukturelle Veränderungen offensichtlich macht, aus welchen Änderungen des Inhalts, der Handlungsrichtung und des Genres resultieren. Dazu werden die Neuverfilmungen ihren filmischen Vorgängern in direkter Weise gegenübergestellt, wodurch stilistische Mittel und inszenatorische Elemente sowie historische und kulturelle Zusammenhänge und strukturelle Unterschiede sauber ausgearbeitet und sichtbar gemacht werden können. Damit leistet diese Arbeit einen Beitrag sowohl zum noch spärlich ergründeten Feld der Remakeforschung als auch zur Debatte um die Existenz und Funktionsweise von Filmstrukturen. info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/791 ddc:791
