Will of David E. Wolfe
This item is the last will and testament of David E. Wolfe, in which he bequeaths his entire estate and all personal property to his nephew, Charles McGee, the son of Wolfe's sister, Charlotte W. McGee, and her husband, John R. McGee. In addition to his estate, Wolfe leaves to Charles all tracts of land on which he currently resides, which border the properties of Moses Brittingham, James Ponder, and William C. Prettyman. He also bequeaths to Charles a separate tract of land, occupied at the time by Josiah Pepper, which adjoins the lands of Abraham Reed, John Conwell, Robert H. Carey, David Argo, and James E. Reed. As a condition of this inheritance, Wolfe stipulates that grain and provender must be cultivated annually on the land for the continued improvement of the soil. Charles McGee is also appointed executor of the will. Additionally, Wolfe directs that 50 to Emory Wolfe Cade, son of John H. Cade, when Emory reaches the age of twenty-one, with Charles responsible for making these payments. The will bears the signatures of Peter W. Tomlinson, Jonathan C. Hazzard, and David E. Wolfe; however, Wolfe's signature has been deliberately removed from the document
Prioritization of Music in Narrative Film
For his Culminating Experience, Cade Margus sought to utilize both video and audio as equally influential storytelling devices by directing and creating original background music for a narrative short film with a personal subject. The film was set in and required partnership with an active music festival. In the film, the music initially exists as a diegetic electronic performance occurring off-screen, then evolves strategically over time as a means of contributing tension and emotional complexity to the story. The author completed the script, creatively managed pre-production, and produced the background music simultaneously, defying the standard workflow of today’s film industry. By doing so, music informed more decisions and shaped the final film more deeply than if it had been composed after shooting.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-production-technology/1315/thumbnail.jp

Using a Thematic Model to Enrich Photo Montages
Narrative systems attempt to present users with media collections that include some element of structure or story, however these collections can lack an authorial voice and seem bland as a result. In this paper we explore how themes could be used to enrich automatically generated narratives, and describe how a system which generated story selections in the form of photo montages was developed using a thematic model of narrative. This was achieved by selecting narrative atoms, in this case photographs, from a selection of images on a specific subject with relevance to a desired theme. Our pilot study shows that our thematic system selects images with greater relevance to desired titles, and that the positive impact of thematic selection increases when the images are presented together. We hope that our thematic work will inform others working on narrative systems, and will lead to richer automated narratives
Deep sightings and rescue missions fiction, essays, and conversations
On December 9, 1995, Toni Cade Bambara died at the age of fifty-six, a profound loss to American culture. In its obituary the New York Times called her "a major contributor to the emerging genre of black women's literature, along with the writers Toni Morrison and Alice Walker." The author of many acclaimed works of fiction and nonfiction, among them three pioneering and timeless volumes: Gorilla, My Love and The Seabirds Are Still Alive, both collections of stories, and The Salt Eaters, a novel, Bambara had not published a new book in the fourteen years prior to her death. She developed during that time a keen interest in film - as a scriptwriter, filmmaker, critic, and teacher - and collaborated on several television documentaries, including The Bombing of Osage Avenue, about the police assault on the MOVE headquarters in Philadelphia, and on the W. E. B. Du Bois Film Project. Bambara also helped to launch the careers of many other black women filmmakers. Deep Sightings and Rescue Missions is a brilliant distillation of Bambara's original sensibility and a confirmation of her status as one of America's great post-World War II writers. Here is a rich selection of her writings, many of which have never before appeared in print: stories ("Madame Bai and the Taking of Stone Mountain," "Ice," "Luther on Sweet Auburn"), essays ("Language and the Writer," "The Education of a Storyteller), film criticism ("School Daze"), and a revealing interview
