Recommended length: 700 words (please dont go over 800 words)

For this class, I would like to you analyze the mise-en-scene in one scene from a Korean film. Before writing this paper, please read the excerpt from A Short Guide to Writing About Film (in the course reader), and review the slides on mise-en-scene in the class notes file which we covered in class.
Watch the entire film to get a sense of its style and themes.
Then, choose one scene to write about, watch it several times, and choose 2-4 elements of the mise-en-scene to focus on:

* setting
* costumes / make-up
* lighting/shadow
* props
* color
* human figures
* casting of actors/ acting/ behavior of characters
* movement on the screen (but not camera movement)
* composition/ arrangement of the image

Do not write about cinematography or sound.

I recommend first describing the scene you chose, and explaining why it is an important or interesting scene. Then, describe three elements of the mise-en-scene and explain how they contribute to the mood, emotions, or meaning of the scene.

*watch film and read review, linked below:

Discuss Minnesota a History by William E. Lass

. Minnesota: a History (second text): *Provide a comprehensive book report, doubled-spaced and approximately four (4) pages in length. You are to use page numbers for reference at the end of your sentence when necessary, for example, I agree with the statement that politics played a dominant role in the mining decision. (261). Since I am using the author\’s premise (politics played a dominant role in mining) I must show where I got that premise (hence the page number 261) and since we are relying exclusively on the text assigned we can use just the page reference (short cite) and not have to list the author or book–it is just as reliable and much easier. If you are using the exact words of the author you must employ the use of quotes and, again, the page reference. How much depth and analysis you may contribute to your report is entirely up to you, however I will provide you with one clue–focus on the information concerning the people, the environment, and politics. For example, Chapter 9 deals extensively with a diverse economy–\”Although taconite revived the range economy, it was a mixed blessing.\” (261) Explaining why taconite mining was a mixed blessing involves the discussion of people, the environment, and politics. Students are free to write as they please, whether by following the chronological order set by the author or by topic priority for example–you are in control of the paper. Whatever style is selected, I am looking for depth and understanding of the assigned work and chapter coverage as well. Your work must read well (flow). I expect that no two papers will look alike–but all papers will read well and will be entertaining. Total points for this text and book report is 200 points. Grading is determined by the same method explained above–straight percentage grading. This assignment is due during the last week of your semester –however you will be able to submit your completed report any time before that date. I will provide feedback for your major book review once submittedbut time is limited during the last week of class.

Students can submit their work into the the assignment dropbox labeled \”Minnesota Book Report\” any time up to the deadline. This report is worth 200 Points.

Discuss Sweet potato starch-based coating Incorporated with Thyme essential oil affect on quality and shelf life of coated eggs during refrigerated and room temperature storage

Recently I am working on my thesis, but i got a hard time in writing. my thesis is combined between agriculture, and family and consumer sciences. my thesis is about creating an edible coating (sweet potato starch incorporated with thyme essential oil), then study the effect of this coat on quality and shelf life of coated eggs. The main objective of my study to prevent contamination with salmonella. I uploaded the table of contents of the literature review, so you can follow the order, also I uploaded some articles and chapters which could be helpful in writing as references. finally, I choose family and consumer science for the subject because my field is family and consumer science, but i think my thesis is related more to agriculture, so first you can take a look at my outline of my literature review, then you can decide who will write my literature review.
please contact me if you have any concern or question.
Thank you.
