... produce a wide variety of popular films at a profit; 2) Expanding distribution channels into the ancillary markets where profit margins are higher; and 3) The value and depth of film libraries, which extend a film's life cycle and gererate revenues far into the future. Key Problems Cost- Film profits are rare and difficult to measure. There are high promotional and marketing costs which include fees paid to exhibitors, distributions fees, overheads, interset and expenses ( paid usually to studios distributors). These combined costs greatly reduce the revenue sream flowing to the producer and net profit participants. In addition, certain management de ...

... a producer, and a director. Ms. Angelou began her career in drama and dance, and she married a South African freedom fighter and lived in Cairo. Later she also taught in Ghana. In the 1960's she said that being black, female, non-Muslim, non-Arab, six foot tall, and American made for some interesting experiences during her stay in Africa (Williams 1). Ms. Angelou accomplished many things in her life. She was the northern coordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference at the request of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. She was also appointed to the Bicentennial Commission by President Gerald Ford, the National Commission on the Observance of Internationa ...

... the United States not joining the Allies in the second world war that was raging in Europe and the western Pacific. Up to that point the U.S. had just been supporting the Allies but they weren't technically at war with the Axis powers. All throughout the first two years of the war, President Roosevelt focused on making life difficult for the Japanese. One way he did this was by creating various policies that would deter the Axis powers from being able to maintain the needs necessary to wage war on the Allies. One of these policies was the American financial and economic embargo, which supported China in its fight against Japan. It also, somewhat, forced ne ...

... that would help the colonists. They limited the colonies commerce to internal trade only(Miller 9). The English were exploiting the colonies by demanding that the colonies import more from England then they exported to the colonies. They were importing raw materials from the colonies and making them into exportable goods in England. They would then ship these goods to foreign markets all around the world including the colonies(America Online ). Throughout the seventeenth century the English saw America as a place to get materials they didn’t have at home and a market to sell finished products at after the goods had been manufactured. This was detrimental ...

... There are two clear acts of Genocide against the Native American Indians in American history. One in 1637 being the so-called Pequit War, while the other was during the Gold rush in California. A staggering amount, 1500 or 40-50% of Pequot Indians were killed during the Pequot War. A Puritan account of 1643 stated that, “divine intervention had saved New England and had punished the Indian transgressors.” The most interesting and ironic evidence that Mary Rolandson’s narrative provides about the Native American experience during the King Phillip’s War can best be described in a quote in the article “Come Along With US”. “ The Lasting legacy of Mary Rolan ...

... message is that their product will make men fit this ideal image. According to Diane Barthel, in today's society, advertisements target men and urge them to adopt traditional male roles. Advertisements are pushing men to become anything from the typical cowboy in blue jeans to a corporate tycoon with a business suit, or the playboy look to the gentlemen look in their ads. She says advertisement companies are doing this by compelling males into thinking that they have to look rugged, untouched, muscular and powerful. One example to support this statement is the "Marlboro" man advertisement. She explains the advertisement agencies' strategies are very smart b ...

... some Puritans to go mad and try to purge themselves of a perceived evil. This came to be known as the Salem witch trials. During World War II, Germany made an attempt to overrun Europe. What happened when the Nazis came into power and persecuted the Jews in Germany, Austria and Poland is well known as the Holocaust. Here, human’s evil side provides one of the scariest occurrences of this century. Adolf Hitler and his Nazi counterparts conducted raids of the ghettos to locate and often exterminate any Jews they found. Although Jews are the most widely known victims of the Holocaust, they were not the only targets. When the war ended, 6 million Jews, Slavs, Gypsies ...

... insight into their feelings and motivations, he compares their personalities and attitudes, and he illustrates the dissonance between the two men through the use of these techniques. In Jesus and Jake's first meeting on the ball court, Lee makes use distance and space to increase the sense of separation between them. Empty space here is exaggerated through the use of a wide-angle lens. Jake is seen here in the foreground with Jesus and Booger in the background. All three men keep a healthy distance apart. When Jake approaches Booger to give him love, Booger backs away, reacting to the violation of the space that the director has created between these character ...

... 9 o’clock. No overtime pay, not even supper money. There was a bakery in the garment center that produced little apple pies the size of an ashtray and that was what we got for our overtime instead of money.” That paragraph just blew me away when I first read it. I can’t imagine little, innocent, eight, nine, ten year olds working long hours in a very big, tough, factory. I find it to be very sad to see business tycoons putting little children to work. Another sad fact, “And when the inspectors came around, do you know what happened? The supervisors made all the children climb into one of those crates that they ship material in, and they covered us over wi ...

... audiences. He always takes violence to the extreme. In the scene with the pimp he doesn't just shoot the pimp in the back or chest. He goes right for the gusto...his balls !!!! (OUCH) Another example of this is when Dennis Hopper was killed. We all knew what h pened to him, but Tarantino makes sure he shows us the oozing bullet wound to his head. Some people think this is taking violence too far; however, acts of this nature happen in the real world every day. I guess this is his way of giving us a "reality heck." Shit like this happens to people. We are so sheltered in our comfortable little worlds we don't even realize this kind of stuff goes on. Variety. Isn't ...
