Jewish Art The Biblical Bezalel--whose name literally means, "in the shadow or protection of God"--was the Jewish artisan appointed specifically by God to build the Tabernacle (Exodus 31:2). So if one defines Jewish art as the works of Jewish artists, one of the earliest works of Jewish art lay in God's command to Bezalel regarding the construction of the Tabernacle. The Bible details the beautiful work of Jewish hands in the building of the First Temple in Jerusalem under the direction of King Solomon. It is described as overlaid with gold and decorated with cherubim (I Kings 6). The Talmud describes the beauty of the Herod's Second Temple, declaring, "He who has not seen the Temple in its full construction has never seen a glorious building in his life" (Tractate Succot 51b).

Viewing and Representing The shot is the building block of all filmmaking. It is a single, uninterrupted piece of film; the image that is seen on screen until it is replaced by another image through some type of editing technique. One of the first decisions a director must make is how the objects or people will be positioned within the shot, or how much of the ?frame,? the movie screen, will be occupied. 3 main types of framing: The long shot The close-up The medium shot In a long shot, the object on the screen appears small or appears to be seen from a distance; if a person is shown, you will generally see his or her entire body. Long shots are used to establish the scene so the viewer will know where the film is taking place; giving the viewer a sense of time and place.

Reena Maali P.6 3-4-13 This article is about the top movies to come out of SXSW. SXSW is a film festival from Austin, Texas that was started in 1994, making it one of the youngest of the widely-know film fests. The films, in order of release are A Mighty Wind, Knocked Up, Super High Me, Drag Me To Hell, Winnebago Man, Kick-Ass, Conan O?Brien Can?t Stop, and Kill List. Some of these films were even big hits in the mainstream film industry and were shown nationally. This article relates to class because film festivals are necessary for making it in the film industry and many people get noticed there, so a tv production class should be well aware of the types of films that make it in and how to ensure that your film will be noticed and make a splash.
