Are You Watching Closely?
Author: Seth Friedman
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 1438465912
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Identifies a new genremisdirection filmsand explains its appeal to contemporary producers and audiences. Are You Watching Closely? is the first book to explore the recent spate of misdirection films, a previously unidentified Hollywood genre characterized by narratives that inspire viewers to reinterpret them retrospectively. Since 1990, Hollywood has backed more of these films than ever before, many of which, including The Sixth Sense (1999), A Beautiful Mind (2001), and Inception (2010), were both commercial and critical successes. Seth Friedman examines this genre in its sociocultural, industrial, and technological contexts to explain why it has become more attractive to producers and audiences. The recent popularity of misdirection films, Friedman argues, is linked to new technologies that enable repeat viewings and online discussion, which makes it enticing to an industry that depends increasingly on the aftermarket, as well as to historically specific cultural developments. That is, in addition to being well suited for shifting industrial and technological conditions, these films are appealing because they suggest that it remains possible to know what actually occurred and who was really responsible for events at a time when it is also becoming increasingly recognized that truth is relative. Are You Watching Closely? shows how Hollywoods effective strategies for these changing circumstances put it at the forefront of a storytelling trend that has increasingly become important across media. Through close analyses of how misdirection films have been designed, marketed, and received in relation to their contexts, Friedman demonstrates the ways in which they epitomize a kind of narrative experimentation that has become a crucial facet of twenty-first-century audiovisual storytelling.

Book Description
"On a raw February morning in 1977, Indianapolis police radio frequencies crackle with the first acts of what was to become a bizarre and frightening, three-day-long psychodrama. A man named Tony Kiritsis had wired a shotgun to the back of Richard Hall's head. In a type of manic march, Kiritsis nudged a shoved Hall from his downtown Indianapolis office over piles of snow on midtown streets. Kiritsis was belligerent. hall's throat was bound and it appeared as through the harness device strapped to the shotgun might choke him. Kirtisis fingered the trigger with his right hand as he held the barrel in his left, prodding Hall. It was cold. Both men were in shirtsleeves. Citizens and police were simply stunned by what they saw. The cursing and screaming Kirtisis commandeered a police car and sped off to the west. Something was about to change in American media coverage, and forever in the life of Richard Hall. For three days his angry, ranting captor threatened to kill him as radio, television, wire service and newspaper reporters covered every turn of event. We have waited for decades to hear more of the story Richard Hall now shares his singular experience of being the victim of an historic act of terror that seized the world's attention and ushered the media into an unpredictable new world"--Back cover.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
The relevance and economic implications of public procurement - which represents 12% of GDP and one-third of government expenditures in the OECD area - make it a powerful tool for improving public service delivery. At the same time, governments are increasingly using their purchasing power to pursue strategic objectives in different policy areas such as sustainability, innovation or providing support to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Making it easier for SMEs to access public procurement opportunities improves the general economic environment, promotes inclusive growth and supports principles such as equal treatment, open access and effective competition. This report takes stock of the approaches adopted in 37 OECD and non-OECD countries to help SMEs perform better in public procurement markets, including removing barriers to their participation. The report also describes the main features of a public procurement system that benefits both the public sector and SMEs.
