Please watch the movie “the Celluloid Closet” 
After watching it answer the following questions
1. What did you learn about gay theatre/cinema
While watching this documentary? 
2. How has the documentary help us understand the LGBTQ+ community ? 
3. Is there something in the documentary that 
“Surprise you” or “shocked you ” or made you “think 
Twice” about the information? 
Please note that some of the question you might 
Need to give your opinion, please do so. 

The assignment is to write a five to six (5-6) page paper which explores commonalities of form and content in at least two films by the same auteur/director. Your paper will explore two or more films by the same director, and involve some research into the critical reception of the individual films as well as of the director in general. (The paper must be double–‐ spaced with no more than one inch margins on all sides, no larger than 12 pt font.)
Although your paper will certainly discuss the uniqueness of each film, your aim will be to discern and discuss the commonalities in both form and content. You might think of your paper as answering this question: What makes us recognize the films of a certain director as coming from the same aesthetic and moral sensibility?
A list of movies you cannot write about will be posted in this folder.
You may not select Alfred Hitchcock as the main topic for this assignment.
You must demonstrate how well you understand the material and topics discussed in class. I expect you to show that you can use the course vocabulary to support your observations.
If you are writing about an individual scene, stating “the director uses many lighting techniques to create a mood” does not tell me what kind of lighting or what kind of mood.
If the film uses repeated images of clocks, for instance, don’t just say that the director used 25 shots of a clock throughout the movie—explain how and why the shots are significant to the overall movie, both cinematically and thematically.
I am not looking for three and a half pages telling me what happens in the movie, and then one page of analysis. Do not spend more than two paragraphs providing a synopsis of the film!
Be sure to cite your sources using MLA guidelines. If you aren’t sure how, please visit a writing specialist at the CAEI.

Refer to the document ‘FYP’ and help me to come up with a new capstone project that has 
not yet been implemented in Singapore before!
(ensure it is sustainable and disruptive – very important)
Use the Empathy and Define phase to guide you (attached in the document)
I have attached 1 research articles and I need 4 more articles to back-up this project
Please include planning of the projects in the slides (e.g., who will be involved and how is it
done and ways to recruit/attract elderly, etc.)
To take into consideration: We are only given $100 fund and no sponsored organisation as of now
Refer to the document ‘HS2228 ICA Presentation Template’ as a layout of the slides. 
Please help me get an A for this project thank you

Read the following article.  Then tell me if you agree or disagree. Be sure to support your answer with examples from the article. Must write at least 2 paragraphs. 

Follow the instruction sheet, complete question 8 with a 5-6 page double spaced essay. Must use the play along with the filmed version.

In the essay, you need to cover ALL the following areas: acting, directing, design (set, light, costume). With all of these areas, talk about what you found was effective and ineffective. Who stood out to you and why? What was effective or ineffective about them? What about the show was effective as a whole? What was the message of the show? What themes did you find in the show? THIS IS NOT A PLOT SUMMARY. I do not need or want you to just talk about the plot or give me a play-by-play of the show. I saw the show as well. You can touch on the plot, but I am much more interested in your opinion of the show (and all its various aspects). Also, you cannot just refer to someone by their character name or their title (director, designer, etc.). You are expected to give credit to the actor, director or designer by using their actual name, which must be spelled correctly. Find info here
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090607/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ov_st_smLinks to an external site.
You will LOSE POINTS if you do not do so. You will also lose points if you do not talk about the acting, the design (all aspects of design – set, lights, costumes) AND the direction!!
In your paper, don’t forget YOUR reaction to the performance itself. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART! How do you react to this play? How does the message of the play affect you individually? Discuss directorial choices, design choices, acting choices … anything that you had a reaction to. Be as specific as you can be and use specific examples from the performance to illustrate your point. You don’t have to love the play or even like it, but you need to be able to support your arguments. So just saying “I loved this play” or “I hated it” or “it was all right” won’t cut it – tell me WHY you are having the reactions you are having.
Each paper will be 700-1200 words long. This paper is not a just plot summary or a book report. Plot is very important, but it is only one of the many areas you need to discuss. I want to hear YOUR reactions to this performance. If you do not give credit to the designers by name, you will automatically have TWELVE POINTS deducted from your grade. Mentioning only some of the designers but not all when then incur a deduction. If you do not give credit to the director by name, you will automatically have TWELVE POINTS deducted from your grade. If you do not give credit to
the actors by name, you will automatically have TWENTY POINTS deducted from your grade. NOTE: This does NOT MEAN that you have to talk about EVERY SINGLE ACTOR in the show. Some of the shows have 15 actors – you do not need to talk about them all. Also, DO NOT just list out all the actors and the parts they played.

Research the playwright. What does the playwright believe the purpose of theatre is? What is their personal background? Education? What are the names of the plays they have written? Where were they performed? How were they reviewed by critics? Who were they influenced by? Who did they influence?
Give me a  summary of one of their plays.
Include photos of productions of that play. Analyze the photos for symbolic meaning and tone of the play.
Paper needs to be three pages typed (this does not include the photos). Used Times New Roman font at 12 pt. 1 inch margins around the page. Due by the end of the term. Cite your sources using MLA format. 

Choose a scene from this play. Explore the subtext in the scene you have chosen. What unspoken “lines” or words may be going through the characters’ minds as they deliver their spoken dialogue? Choose a section of lines and write an inner monologue that ONE of the actors might think as he or she speaks the lines in the text (Note: you do not have to retype the lines of the play—what is going on inside the character’s head?).
Review the definition of inner monologue. Your inner monologue should convey the “stream of consciousness” thoughts and emotions going on inside your character as he or she is speaking his or her lines and listening to the lines of the other character. Sometimes the inner monologue will match the tone of the spoken lines. Sometimes it may be quite different. How might the inner monologue affect the way the spoken lines are delivered by an actor?
The inner monologue should be written in paragraph form, and in first-person voice, in character (try for a monologue between 3/4 and 1 1/2 pages long, double-spaced).

1. write a summary of the character’s objective, actions, and tactics in the piece.  (25 pts)
2. A character profile and monologue text analysis worksheet (25 pts) Theatrefolk – Script Analysis for Actors – Filling in the Gaps.pdf

I have tried making a Introduction essay of a character I’ll be presenting to a
Dungeon Master for a college event. I would like you to revise it and add an ending where the character (Gie Ma) is running away from the shadows ordered by the elders then suddenly went to an unknown and eerie place where the character fell into a sink hole and found a world tree sapling with a single fruit
