Costume as character arc: How emotional transformation is written into the dressed body
No full textA screenplay represents a moment in time. It captures the essence of the human condition and the everyday lived experience, connecting character and audience on a subliminal yet highly powerful level. As Grodal asserts, the screenplay paves the way for an eventual psychosomatic experience: in a film, body and mind are connected as one as ‘our eyes and ears pick up and analyze image and sound, our minds apprehend the story, which resonates on our memory; furthermore, our stomach, heart, and skin are activated in empathy with the story situations and the protagonists’ ability to cope’ (1997: 1). A screenplay also represents a transformation, capturing the shift in a protagonist from problem to resolution; from wounding to healing; from dramatic need to dramatic fulfilment. Characters are propelled into territories unknown, overcoming progressive obstacles and life challenging battles in order to attain physical and emotional achievement. The transformation of the protagonist represents the essence of a screenplay. It captures the story lurking beneath the action, and only when transformation is complete can the theme be understood by an audience, bestowing resonance. Character transformation thus lies at the emotional core of a form that is, by its visual nature, framed by action

Intelligence in childhood and chronic widespread pain in middle age: the National Child Development Survey
No full textPsychological factors are thought to play a part in the aetiology of chronic widespread pain. We investigated the relationship between intelligence in childhood and risk of chronic widespread pain in adulthood in 6902 men and women from the National Child Development Survey (1958 British Birth Cohort). Participants took a test of general cognitive ability at age 11 years; and chronic widespread pain, defined according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria, was assessed at age 45 years. Risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using log-binomial regression, adjusting for sex and potential confounding or mediating factors. Risk of chronic widespread pain, defined according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria, rose in a stepwise fashion as intelligence fell (P for linear trend <0.0001). In sex-adjusted analyses, for an SD lower intelligence quotient, the RR of chronic widespread pain was 1.26 (95% CI 1.17–1.35). In multivariate backwards stepwise regression, lower childhood intelligence remained as an independent predictor of chronic widespread pain (RR 1.10; 95% CI 1.01–1.19), along with social class, educational attainment, body mass index, smoking status, and psychological distress. Part of the effect of lower childhood intelligence on risk of chronic widespread pain in midlife was significantly mediated through greater body mass index and more disadvantaged socioeconomic position. Men and women with higher intelligence in childhood are less likely as adults to report chronic widespread pain.<br/

Understanding the Underlying Principles of the Short Film
No full textThis chapter explores the types of story possible within short films, and how often there can be confusion and uncertainty, particularly amongst student filmmakers, about what a short film really is. In order to better understand what a short film is, this chapter outlines a series of underlying principles about short film story design that, we argue, are integral to the initial stages of conceiving a short film. Before script development takes place, we argue that realistic thinking about what the short film can deliver in terms of story, characters, scope and dramatic question, will result in a screen work that is not only feasible to produce for student filmmakers, but is also more likely to increase an audience’s emotional engagement with the film. Drawing on a range of multi-award winning contemporary short films to illustrate these principles, we discuss the relationship between content and form in the short film, leading to a better understanding of the parameters in which a student filmmaker might work. While not arguing that these parameters are strict and unbreakable, we argue that knowing what has worked well for others, and what audiences expect from the short film form, provides a solid basis from which to begin conceptualising a short film
The Palgrave handbook of screen production
No full textThis handbook is an essential creative, critical and practical guide for students and educators of screen production internationally. It covers all aspects of screen production—from conceptualizing ideas and developing them, to realizing and then distributing them—across all forms and formats, including fiction and non-fiction for cinema, television, gallery spaces and the web. With chapters by practitioners, scholars and educators from around the world, the book provides a comprehensive collection of approaches for those studying and teaching the development and production of screen content. With college and university students in mind, the volume purposely combines theory and practice to offer a critically informed and intellectually rich guide to screen production, shaped by the needs of those working in education environments where ‘doing’ and ‘thinking’ must co-exist. The Palgrave Handbook of Screen Production fills an important gap in creative-critical knowledge of screen production, while also providing practical tools and approaches for future practitioners
