The 25 best soundtracks of history (II) continuous partial attention

Remember , the American Film Institute proposed in May a list of 250 -essential soundtracks to their 500 all-academics, they had to rate the top 25. Difficult choice indeed.

The result was made public yesterday moments before the 25 scores were interpreted in a memorable concert. More suspense impossible: go to a show without knowing the program. The formula was a success as 18,000 spectators packed the Hollywood Bowl colossal of Los Angeles.

Harry Callahan The present writer compiled a silly , ready to collapse, as often happens every night at the Oscars. My Magnum in a hole and I could not empty the clip against academics: I agree in 12 out of 25!

"I can say hi? I greet my neighbor's 5 th and Pedroñeras cacti. Asin is.

Hairbrushed Over Mom's Knee At My Age?



Sonia says so on his blog, defending the initiative of Alt1040 to premiere podcast and answering the response of those (better to read the post by Sonia ):

"Mainly because I felt uncomfortable with his assertion that those who argue that the audience can not hold a call for more than 20 minutes is because we think the audience is stupid. "

I agree with Sonia. The audience is not stupid, she is human. And as such responds to a key content posted to mental and physical.

A Course in Management of Euroforum taught me many things, including the care that a human being can not remain fixed on a subject over 18 minutes (not 20, not 18 minutes).

For several reasons:
- The human body is not made to sit so that the drive system sends signals to the brain to move constantly balance the load balancing and help the blood supply system. So we move when we sleep. So we so tired to travel by plane, bus or car.

- The attention is fixed on a subject in passive mode for a variable amount of time that depends on intellectual and cognitive capabilities of each. After some time passed to the active mode, it draws conclusions about what has been received and our personality is inclined to favor or against. Either options compel us to action so if we also can not interact in a state of frustration which lead to the disconnection.

- The perception of time is subjective. They are not the same 30 minutes in the morning than later depending on location, time and biorhythms. Not to mention if they are 30 minutes something fun or boring.

The factor of 18 minutes is key to any audiovisual production and the business environment for presentations and training.

Americans are masters in the handling of this time series TV. Even a decade ago dispense with the presentation and closing segments (see Janet and / or Seinfeld). And his way of measuring the footage is simply amazing. The second.

A key factor in the audiovisual sector is the physical environment where the work is represented. If we talk about film are thinking about public key slave. The experience takes place in a closed room, under an entry fee biorhythms and educated, for example, always go before entering service. However, you will agree, the experience of the same product on TV is different. Gone is the slave factor that physical impairments at home are set by the user.

There is a criterion in purchasing departments movie TV channels: "This film has not worked well in theaters but will do well on TV." And part of that reasoning comes from the assumption that the properties of the product does not meet the expectations of care and comfort in the room but in a domestic environment. Let us

18 minutes to the company. The thing that is complicated by human factors corporate must be added. And, worst of all, is a human who sends the information.

When faced with a content outside this context see the work (generalizing) when we see a presentation comes into play not only the quality of the above, and format, if not the value judgments we made on that person. Are not the same 18 minutes to 18 minutes Nicholas Negroponte HR director

Various tricks for 18 minutes and training company working:

- The content must be issued by the issuer and not support brackets used. People should watch the speaker and not Powerpoint. If you look at the screen you stop listening to speaker and never, never , you must put all topics on the slides together if not just teach that what you're talking about. Preventing people read faster than you speak is the key because if you do not end up reading and drawn their own conclusions before you get to them. This rule is applied to theater.

- inverted pyramid. Begins with the conclusion. If this is strong enough will accompany the listener throughout the 18 minutes with the objective of shelling. The use of flashback is applicable. Divine "Rashomon"

- Interact with the listener. Ask questions that must be answered. They awaken, they fear that they ask. Break the passivity of listening. Why we're capable of playing for hours at a game? That interact with it.

live in an era of continuous partial attention . 18 minutes is not a bitch, is a luxury. Mail, blackberries, messenger, mobile, Internet ... We saturation dives information that drives us to be more selective in content and more concrete over time.

We are not fools, we are human. And we have time. Double the production capacity of information is just a matter of budget but increase our attention span is an evolutionary challenge.

And that takes thousands of years.

Earthquake Power 400tx

Wanted

If that word in the dictionary.

viz. For many years I have this for the audiovisual industry. As a subject, we would say aficional step to becoming career by two teachers who do not owe more than thanks and praise: Enrique Lopez Lavigne and Fernando de Garcillán .

Thanks to them I learned to see the film as anything other than professional, but more richly nuanced and full of sensations. Why not just enjoy the product is when you know how to do, and what it costs carry it out, enjoy a single plane twice. But it appears

dissonance. Analyze a script (or at least try) gives guidelines on how to write but when discover the tricks behind the innocence dies and few products can surprise you.

That way you know that in the first act is the object or the key to the solution of the outcome, that player or side will croak and, above all, anticipate the times of beats.

At least if there is a good thing: you can hook in the middle of film or series and know that you immediately.

But over time the gut feeling is mitigated but the side effect is evergreen: it costs you to find works that surprise you but when you give a feeling is enormous.

This is a story that marks 10 years spent in the San Sebastian Film Festival " Usual Suspects." The film that I've always wanted to shoot. In second place is "Amelie" third "Some Like It Hot" and fourth "Raising Arizona."

I love these titles because of its format and dialogue but the first I love over and over again.

SH is a perfect exercise in convenience with black cinema police. And part of a basic idea "The best trick I invented the devil is to convince the world that did not exist." Not only

surprise of the outcome is devastating in concept and format is that after watching it again begins to enjoy analyzing the clues planted writer, I interpret the artistic and measured Brian Singer.

But why is struck time and again?

Because when I see it I realize that the real history may well be different from that Keyser Soze narrates. A criminal tells facts that have not gone on a story that happens but we do not provide the safety that is what has really happened. "

trouble? No, Great.

goes beyond " House Game" of Mamet (forerunner of "nine Queens ") and of course any movie that claims to play with the viewer. It is linear. SH is a hyperlink.

But enjoy this impact on the bottom is a solitary experience and that is not reached the necessary empathy with others to the full enjoyment of the experience.

Consientanme, therefore, this falling apart and put me at the feet of their RSS Feeds.

Pending my beloved back to stand with his famous music scanning remirtirles allowed me to this discovery via Esme , friend by Stephen J. Cannell . Clor

Clor: New wave of the niugueif newwave.

Powerful and refreshing. With traces of Super Furry Animals and Supergrass. Some even claim to have seen them playing with Stephen Malkus! (Big Pavement).

The Discreet Charm of the Lo-Tech. Videos that smell like a "Do it your self" and go back to the White Duke and "Ashes to Ashes" ... when poor embedding of chrome was an art form in itself.

And it does show a succession of agencies and TV images that are shocking and, at the same time, aesthetically very beautiful.

When one is confronted with, say, the work of Salgado or World Press Photo , make a mental effort to distinguish forms of content. The aesthetic beauty, the impact of the texture, the perfect frame and lens choice make me shudder visual pleasure. When I think of the content of what I'm seeing the same strong emotions are just the opposite.

This clip is an excellent example of what that story.

Content is shocking that gets us to forget that no matter how powerful the ecosystem devastation hit, suffering knows no status.

Will My Plumbing Freeze At 25 Degrees

Economy of scale

operating income of a film of 4 million dollars is a trifle for a major but not for a studio / independent distribution (as 17,000 views in 6 months means nothing to elmundo.es but if it is of immense value to this blog, thanks full to all).

Even with an economy of scale that you can afford, and the challenge of breaking the sacrosanct operating windows. 2929

is the producer of the latest experimental Steven Soderbergh, "Bubble," which enters in the distribution of the rooms, DVD and cable simultaneously. Reasons

for not missing:

• The limited impact of the experiments massive SS as "The Limely " or "Full Frontal (otherwise great) make majors not want to make the work of a director with name / well known brand that emphasizes realizing their personal between food jobs. Ergo, a candy for distribution Indies.

• The balance of the costs of marketing that requires the release of the title for each window of exploitation and thus are more profitable. And support and, in turn, draw the attention of festival-goers hunters.

• And the threat of P2P. That is not much for small start to see it as a competitive advantage in overseas distribution .

The small-scale experiment works and starts to lay foundation for beta stages of distribution. The dispersion effect in this case means unlike traditional windows based their role in the concentration of impact by, call, emissions.

Fixing A Remington Precision Clipper

NINETTE or how successful Mihura honor

A Jose Luis Garci cares little institutional and media silence on the centenary of Miguel Mihura. has repeatedly demonstrated its independence and does what comes out of the camera. Fits with taste and tact Benito Pérez Galdós - "El Abuelo" - and Michael Mihura - "Ninette" - without considering the disparate ideologies of both. The prejudices of the critics will not influence too: almost laughed at him when "The Crack" chose starring Alfredo Landa, until then typecast in roles of male Iberian . Something similar happened with Lydia Bosch "You're The One" , and now history is repeated in "Ninette" with Elsa Pataky.

"Ninette" is a great adaptation of the works and a Lord Ninette de Murcia "and" Ninette, Fashion in Paris. " The leading roles are played by Goddess and Carlos Hipólito . Elsie De (close in my dreams) not write because, like you should not drive under the influence of alcohol, nor is unacceptable to the vision of an actress when you are dazzled. Placed the critical sackcloth, let's Carlos Hipólito. Neither like nor dislike me this time. I think a great actor, but I prefer dramatic roles. I think goddess is much more ... Glup! I almost forgot that I promised not to speak of Elsi.

between "the rest"-refer as well to such a great group of players deserves as a punishment at least a couple of minutes of "The Martian Chronicles" - highlights Enrique Villar, possibly in his best performance so far. Produces laughter with just looking at him and no one knows what percentage of his performance and his strabismus. In any case, Villa is unsurpassed.

On the technical front overhangs Ricardo Navarrete all , hardened cameraman thousand films, director's usual and returns to make the cut. With such a teacher is easier to understand that Garci not look at the 'combo' after each shot. Now Navarrete Do I need to film a Elsi ? Juanpi can answer this question with knowledge of the facts, but in my opinion, had "earned" anyone with a Handycam . The greatest difficulty lies in not faint.

Finally, the soundtrack is poor and gives fuel (once again) the rumor of a supposed lack of freedom of the composers Garci. Many think that his films speak for themselves without music and they may be right. On the contrary, the director seems to ponder this resource increasingly post-production, since they no longer inserted himself and classical music has begun a promising relationship with Pablo Cervantes . Hopefully the next film contains more minutes of music.

vs Frasier. Seinfeld

For years there have been two types of people.

Those who love "Frasier" and those who idolize "Seinfeld." We are incompatible, but if you wanted to avoid problems in the talks had to balance loads.

My way of dealing with the dissonance is: I like both the best series on the history of American Sit-Com, and while I recognize that "Janet" is strikingly regular episodes as a great episode of " Seinfeld "surpasses it. For example, of "The Soup Nazi." F is constant, S cyclical. And if you do not like my opinion, "No soup for U!" :-)

This is why, after saving the summer thanks to the appointment with "Frasier" in the Plus, I read that Blanco Sonia rushes into your blog an interesting reconstruction of this series. A must-see for all who worship and have interest and aspects eururísticos Situation Comedy technicians American.

Katrina or the art of improvising

That great marketing campaign that is the USA just got a torpedo in the water line. Maximum is met Klausewich indicating that if you want to harm a large enemy you must not attack its weak point if it hurts your strength. The USA does not know how to manage crisis because they are not accustomed to suffer in its territory, much less to improvise.

Last year I was on holiday in Miami and driving on its roads is inferred that a country that has reached the point of eliminating the ability to surprise. There are traffic signs whose sole function is to warn you that a certain distance is another warning sign! When everything you do you apply a procedure and if the circumstance outnumber any theoretical capacity planning is useless.

From that time emerges as an engine of social conditioning of attitudes.

The S11 was a good example. In relative terms, in terms of ethnicity, Latinos were fewer wrecks that avoided the standard procedure dictated that the building had to remain on the plant waiting for help. They went by foot.

In my early days as an assistant director I had the opportunity to work with software called Movie Magic Scheduling , hell of a tool for planning film shoots. However, after comparing with several counterparts, we conclude that the system was too American.

The interface requires you to make a prior creation of objects (actors, props, locations) very hard which is then transformed into a speed advantage when making plans but not stop running space for the unexpected or for last minute changes. And if anything defines a shoot is just that.

In Spain, of course. Trueba wanted to shoot in Miami as he used to here and he jumped on the American trade unions. Leo

that New Orleans is a mess and other atrocities being committed by instinct of survival. And what impresses me most is the feeling of not knowing what to do because there is no one to check the rules to follow. Hopefully something similar will not happen although I'm sure that if necessary the whole world would take the boats, fishing boats and even skates beaches to go help.

Then come the politicians to take advantage but we improvised as anyone. As we do in the shooting.
