Transcript: Points of Interest For Discussion What is the point: Cinematography/ mise en scene Leitmotif History/ Colonial Ideology Identity What is the significance of Diouana asking for the mask back? Langford argues that we can use these systems to determine the identities of colonial and post-colonial subjects. Looking at the characters, do you agree? Are there any moments when characters move from one economic system to another? How can we interpret the last scene, when Monsieur returns the mask? Do you think cinematography of the movie being black and white emphasizes the microcosm? Give specific examples. How does the interior and the props (of being black and white) important?

Transcript: Visual Elements Content Organization Choosing Fonts and Typography Selecting the right fonts is crucial; serif fonts often convey tradition and reliability, while sans-serif fonts offer a modern look. Ensure font sizes are readable and maintain consistency to aid in comprehension across slides. Incorporating Images and Graphics Images and graphics should support the presentation's message without overwhelming the content. Use high-contrast images to maintain visual interest while ensuring they align with the monochrome theme. Structuring Information Clearly Creating Charts and Diagrams Clear structure enhances audience comprehension. Utilize headings, subheadings, and logical sequencing to guide viewers through the presentation. Each section should have a clear purpose, allowing the audience to follow the narrative effortlessly. Effective Use of Bullet Points Charts and diagrams in black and white require careful consideration of contrast and shape. Utilize patterns and varying line weights to differentiate data clearly without relying on color. Bullet points provide clarity and conciseness, making complex data accessible. Limit each bullet to a single idea and use parallel structure for consistency, which aids in quick comprehension. Prioritizing Key Messages Identifying essential messages ensures the audience grasps core concepts. Focus on 2-3 main ideas per section to avoid information overload, leading to better retention and understanding. Black and White Presentation Introduction to Monochrome Purpose of Black and White Presentations Black and white presentations eliminate distractions and direct attention to the content. They promote clarity, allowing the audience to focus on the core message without the interference of colors. Final Presentation Tips Visual Impact of Black and White Designs The absence of color allows for a focus on composition, light, and shadow, enhancing emotional resonance. Black and white designs create a timeless aesthetic that communicates professionalism and sophistication in presentations. Historical Significance of Monochrome Historically, monochrome art and photography have played a pivotal role in visual storytelling. Many iconic images, from Ansel Adams' landscapes to early film, demonstrate the emotional depth that black and white can evoke. A Dedicated Format for Clarity and Focus Rehearsing and Timing Design Principles Practice ensures smooth delivery and familiarity with material. Allocate time for each slide to keep the presentation within its designated timeframe, allowing for transitions and audience interactions. Contrast and Emphasis High contrast enhances visual engagement, guiding the audience's focus towards important elements. Utilizing differing shades and textures creates emphasis, ensuring that key messages stand out in a monochrome presentation. Engaging the Audience Balance and Alignment Effective design achieves visual balance through the careful arrangement of elements. Alignment creates visual order, enhancing readability and providing a structured flow that guides the audience through the content. Use of Space and Layout Audience engagement enhances retention. Techniques include asking questions, incorporating anecdotes, and using interactive elements, which create a dynamic connection. White space serves as an essential tool in design, preventing overcrowding and enhancing comprehension. A well-planned layout aids in the natural flow of information, facilitating audience engagement and retention of key ideas. Feedback and Improvement Strategies Collect feedback through surveys or informal conversations following the presentation. Analyze constructive criticism to identify areas for growth, shaping future presentations for better effectiveness.

Black & White Presentation

Transcript: Two best friends and teammates, Eddie (white) and Marcus (black) decide to rob to get money. It goes well until Marcus accidently shoots the man they're robbing. Marcus is arrested while the Eddie remains free, unassociated with the murder. Marcus refuses to identify his partner and ultimately ends up spending time in jail, leaving Eddie home free. It expresses the racial flaws that exist within the Urban court system, in which black teens are treated far more severely than white teens. With the expression of the racist treatment of black people in the court system, it is complimented with the racial attitudes that insue in the streets. After Eddie doesn't confess, allowing Marcus to take the entire wrap (thus giving him a worse punishment) the basketball team turns on him. And race becomes an issue again. Black and White was successful because it had well developed characters, especially when it comes to Eddie and Marcus. We experienced their struggles through their eyes as we saw these boys go from local basketball heroes to criminals and how that effected every area of their life; family, school, friends, and each other. The audience grows as the characters grow, this causes them to connect with the characters and makes the book feel real. THemes A clear theme in Black and White is injustice, specifically relating to the treatment of black people versus the treatment of white people in the judicial system. Here's an example "We wouldn't want anyone whose ever been robbed for one. We wouldn't even want anyone who've had trouble with high school kids in their neighborhood," Golub said."and of course, we'd want more whites on the jury then blacks." (Volponi 178) Friendship was also a very prevalent theme in the story. It was demonstrated mainly through Eddie and Marcus's relationship. Eddie states, "Kids who are different colors don't get to be all that tight in my neighborhood. But we get past all that racial crap,"(Volponi 2) The final, and most prevalent theme, is racism. As the story unfolds we notice racist attitudes emerge from within the basketball team as well as within the courts. At one point when Eddie and his teammates are discussing the case, a friend "X" says, "The only thing in your favor is the dude who got shot is black. Maybe the judge wont give a damn unless the judge is black too." (Volponi 78) Racism Injustice Setting Black and White takes place in Rikers Island, New York. Rikers Island is a very segregated section of New York and know for it's penitentiary located on the island. Long Island City high school is the school both Marcus and Eddy attend. The student population is very diverse and there are both black & white students who come from very different backgrounds. Black and White Summary: Characters Friendship
