Semiological Analysis of a Television Show -- “Touched by an Angel”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the semiologic aspects of the prime-time television show “Touched by an Angel.” In contemporary popular culture, television serves as one of the best possible representations of how it is possible to understand larger realities about society and social beliefs via the stories told and symbols presented. The popular prime-time show “Touched by an Angel” illustrates such a process. The show is almost an ancient morality play in which the players learn greater truths about themselves and the world in which they live. The symbols and signals presented as a common denominator in each episode fit into a number of the assumptions made by Western humanity regarding “seeing the light” and personal redemption. Bibliography lists one source.

Semiotics in Film: The Definition of the African American Stereotype and Symbolism as Found in the Black Film Genre
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the semiotics of the black film genre. Certain cinematic codes are used in films to portray semiotics or symbolism to the cinematic audience. Some of the most significant of these can be found in the African American film genre which has changed significantly in its symbolic representation over the years. Originally, blacks in films were stereotyped blatantly and retained the status of the servant to the white man, similar to a Mammy’s role in “Gone With the Wind”. After the cultural revolution took place in the 1960s, Blaxploitation evolved as a black film genre which symbolized the new empowerment felt by the black American population. Blaxploitation, although popular with black audiences, did not have a long life span however and African Americans in films in the 1980s were once again relegated to “buddy” or comic relief roles as support to white actors who retained the leading roles. The black film genre changed again in the 1990s when many films were released showing the urban blight, violence and discrimination experienced by blacks. Again, the genre was filled heavily with stereotypes and the symbolic roles of blacks in American society although the stereotype has changed. Recently, film makers have decided to use more subtle approaches to symbolize the African American in today’s society. This approach has lead to films such as “Devil in a Blue Dress” which explores the subtle cultural differences found in African Americans rather than blatant stereotypes and also new films which spoof the previous stereotypes depicted which in effect erases cinematic coding of black roles.

Sense and Sensibility/Novel v. Film
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper/essay that discusses the differences between these 2 mediums. Every few years seems to bring a new film adaptation of Jane Austen's classic early-nineteenth century novel Sense and Sensibility. Nevertheless, one of the finest of recent film adaptations of this novel is still director Ang Lee's 1995 production, which was produced by Mirage Films and released by Columbia Pictures. The script for this movie was written by Emma Thompson, who also stars in the role of Elinor Dashwood. This examination of the film will demonstrate that while Thompson makes some departures from Austen's novel, these differences are minor, as she remains true to the story and Austen's characterization. In fact, some of her changes tend to enhance, rather than detract, from the viewer's enjoyment of this narrative. Bibliography lists 1 source.
