Visual Metaphors in Set and Properties Design for ‘Setengah Nada Bergeming’ Film Trailer

In a film production, production design is an important aspect that supports the narrative or story. In production design visual metaphors are often used as concepts for sets and props which have the ability to transform a long text into a shorter visual. Visual metaphor itself is a representation of a place, person, nature, and object that can be a tool to build a narrative as well as describe the nature of a character in a film. The use of visual metaphors can be done by understanding the characters in the film, because each have different characteristics and its own uniqueness. By understanding and using the 3-dimensional aspect of the character as the basis for the design of sets and props, production designers can apply visual metaphors in the design of sets and properties that are suitable for the needs of characters and narratives in films. This paper uses a qualitative approach which elaborates the process of applying visual metaphors into the set and properties design, by using the 3-dimensional character theory as the base for producing the short film trailer entitled Setengah Nada Bergeming. This research finds that by dissecting each element of the 3-dimensional character, production designer can intensify not only how a character is represented and how its contributes in building the entire narrative of the story.

Characters of infinite-dimensional quantum classical groups: BCD cases

We study the character theory of inductive limits of [Formula: see text]-deformed classical compact groups. In particular, we clarify the relationship between the representation theory of Drinfeld–Jimbo quantized universal enveloping algebras and our previous work on the quantized characters. We also apply the character theory to construct Markov semigroups on unitary duals of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and their inductive limits.

KARAKTER DAN NILAI MORAL DALAM FILM THE PATRIOT KARYA ROLAND EMMERICH

<p><strong>Abstract</strong>: The paper aims to analyze the problem as follows: 1) how the characters in the film and 2) how the moral values contained in Roland Emmerich’s film The Patriot. The research method used is qualitative, with primary data sources taken from the film and secondary literature outside of the film. The data collection technique used is the documentation of Creswell. Documentation is a method used in scientific research to collect data using documents or lists of evidence and data analysis techniques used based on the Moleong theory. The character theory used is Russell’s theory, while for moral values in the film, the writer uses Setyosih’s theory. The results showed that; as; 1) the characters are divided into three, namely dominating characters are the protagonist (48%), antagonist (28%), and foil (24%). 2) moral values are divided into 6, namely; tolerance (13%), fairness (9.09%), trust (18.18%), kindness (32.81%), honesty (4.54%), and responsibility (22.72%). This research is good for school and public education.<br /><strong>Keywords</strong>: characters, moral values, movie, content analysis</p>

Out of Character

This chapter is a critical appraisal of the “character theory of excuses” in legal philosophy, which maintains that an excuse is available to a defendant when their action is not a manifestation of their character. The essay argues, using a strategy derived from the skeptical position in the virtue ethics-situationism debate, that the moral psychology underlying the character theory of excuses is empirically inadequate. It is further suggested that yoking excuses to character assessment threatens to make determining excuses epistemically intractable in legal contexts, given the many practical obstacles to definitive character assessment.

The Role of Expertise Judgments in Children's Social Learning

Previous research has examined how children judge sources of information (Corriveau &amp; Harris, 2009; Corriveau, Pickard, &amp; Harris, 2010; Koenig &amp; Harris, 2005), but no studies have attempted to increase or decrease a children’s trust in informants, measure learning from that informant, and analyze how that learning persists over time. The current study examined if children’s trust in informants can be manipulated, and how this trust relates to learning STEM concepts from a video of the character in question. Fifty-seven 3- to 6-year-olds were visited in their preschool classrooms at 3 different time points. Children watched a video of Sid from Sid the Science Kid solving a problem. After the video, children were tasked with solving an analogically-similar problem. Children were tested for verbal reasoning, concept formation, visual matching, executive function, character realism, identification with the character, theory of mind, and character trust (belief in Sid’s expertise in problem-solving). Presenting Sid to the participants as either clever or clumsy did not affect character trust or learning. Children’s belief in Sid’s expertise also did not affect learning; however, levels of learning remained stable over time. Identification with Sid may play a role in how children viewed Sid and learned from him.

Complexity and randomness in the Heisenberg groups (and beyond)

By studying the commuting graphs of conjugacy classes of the sequence of Heisenberg groups $H_{2n+1}(p)$ and their limit $H_\infty(p)$ we find pseudo-random behavior (and the random graph in the limiting case). This makes a nice case study for transfer of information between finite and infinite objects. Some of this behavior transfers to the problem of understanding what makes understanding the character theory of the uni-upper-triangular group (mod p) “wild.” Our investigations in this paper may be seen as a meditation on the question: is randomness simple or is it complicated?

‘I don’t have a skull… Or bones’: Minor Characters in Disney Animation

This article explores the place of minor characters in Disney’s animated features. More specifically, it proposes that Disney’s minor characters mark an aesthetic rupture by breaking with the mode of hyperrealism that has come to be associated with the studio’s feature-length films. Drawing on character theory within literary studies and on research into animated film performance, the article suggests that the inherent ‘flatness’ of Disney’s minor characters and the ‘figurativeness’ of their performance styles contrasts with the characterizations and aesthetic style of the leading figures. The tendency of Disney’s minor characters to stretch and squash in an exaggerated fashion is also reminiscent of the flexible, plasmatic style of the studio’s early cartoons. In addition to exploring the aesthetic peculiarity of minor characters, this article also suggests that these figures play an important role in fleshing out the depicted fictional worlds of Disney’s movies. By drawing attention to alternative viewpoints and storylines, as well as to the broader narrative universe, minor characters add detail, nuance and complexity to the animated films in which they appear. Ultimately, this article proposes that these characters make the fairy-tale-like worlds of Disney animation more expansive and believable as fictional spaces.

Critiquing Child characters as Heroes, Villains, and Victims in Ru Freeman’s On Sal Mal Lane

Social behaviour and filial background define the formation and development of a character that is bound by cultural influence in South Asian fiction. Ru Freeman weaves numerous characters and their stories in a single lane as a synecdoche of Sri Lankan history. On Sal Mal Lane (2014) showcases the different social groups defining Sri Lankan conflict in the 1980s with the presence of child characters who are unaware of the extent of the ethnic conflict swirling in the background of the narrative. This paper tries to define the concepts of heroes, villains, and victims through the socio-emotional development of the characters to determine the contradiction between their intentions and subsequent actions. The study uses Character Theory and elements of Affect Control Theory for critical analysis. The paper analyses the change in personality traits of child characters in response to the violence wrought by Sri Lankan ethnic prejudices and the extent of destructive development from the unstable familial and societal environments.

Character degrees in 𝜋-separable groups

If a group G is π-separable, where π is a set of primes, the set of irreducible characters {\operatorname{B}_{\pi}(G)\cup\operatorname{B}_{\pi^{\prime}}(G)} can be defined. In this paper, we prove variants of some classical theorems in character theory, namely the theorem of Ito–Michler and Thompson’s theorem on character degrees, involving irreducible characters in the set {\operatorname{B}_{\pi}(G)\cup\operatorname{B}_{\pi^{\prime}}(G)}.
