Abstract:

The literature has customarily defined interaction between pictured objects in two ways. First, interaction has been defined as simply a conjoined union or physical touching of objects within a given picture scene. The second definition portrays interaction as predetermined action or implied motion between the pictured objects. Researchers typically assume these two modes of defining interaction as essentially equivalent. Generally stated, the purpose of this study was to uncover the effect that implied motion has on the processing of visual information. A factorial design was conducted with dependent variables being imageability, nameability, and recall of pictured objects. Independent variables were implied motion and viewing time. Results showed that implied motion pictures presented at a short viewing time were more nameable and better recalled than stationary pictures presented at a short viewing time. But when subjects were given more time to view visual information, implied motion and stationary pictures were equally nameable and recalled. The results indicate that when visual information is presented for a sufficiently short time, implied motion heightens the availability of a verbal code.

Abstract:

This study examined the relationship between five motives—sensory arousal, cognitive arousal, escapism, mastery-control, and emotional involvement—and preferences for different types of content in three cultural media—television programs, motion pictures, and books. The findings both confirmed and extended prior theorization and found some intriguing differences in content preferences between women and men.

Abstract:

Cinema is one of the most popular art forms among people of all ages. Just like music, theater, architecture, literature or painting, cinema certainly has an impact on people. At the same time, it has the capability to not just draw attention to social problems, but also to change people’s attitudes and behaviors — thus changing the world as a whole. This article provides an overview of various approaches to researching social impact of motion pictures and raises a number of important issues related to the current state of the impact assessment industry in motion pictures.

Abstract:

AbstractGlitches pose expressive challenges for digital motion pictures. These problematics reveal a “material function” that determines their identification and prescribes their semantics on-screen. These issues of materiality are familiar from the ideological critiques of avant-garde film in the 1970s, but have not been explored in relation to the semiotics of digital cinema. Developing an understanding of these problematics shows the complex problematics of using glitches for critical and expressive purposes in motion pictures.

Abstract:

AbstractIn the 1910s, New York suffragette Electra Sparks wrote a series of essays in theMoving Picture Newsthat advocated for cine-therapy treatments for pregnant women. Film was, in her view, the great democratizer of beautiful images, providing high-cultural access to the city's poor. These positive ‘mental pictures’ were important for her because, she claimed, in order to produce an attractive, healthy child, the mother must be exposed to quality cultural material. Sparks's championing of cinema during its ‘second birth’ was founded upon the premise of New Thought. This metaphysical Christian doctrine existed alongside the self-help and esoteric publishing domains and testified, above all, to the possibility of the ‘mind-cure’ of the body through the positive application of ‘mental pictures’. Physiologically, their method began best in the womb, where the thoughts of the mother were of utmost importance: the eventual difference between birthing an Elephant Man or an Adonis. This positive maternal impression was commonplace in New Thought literature; it was Sparks's innovation to apply it to cinema. Investigating Sparks's film theory, practice and programming reveals her to be a harbinger of the abiding analogy between mind and motion picture that occupies film theorists to this day.

Abstract:

This paper investigates the realities of literature adaptation to film in today’s world of literary criticism. People enjoy motion pictures and compare them with its original textual Literature. By focusing on literary criticism theories, this article explains modern to postmodern aesthetic points, especially in the era of definitions in romanticism, reflectionism and its auto, empiricism until pragmatism, and the age of language beyond communication. Through those former points, the adaptation of Literature to film brings in a wider point: the world itself. The adaptation is shown to broaden concepts and interpretations among writers, directors, and also audiences. Every aspect is so active to interpret in today's crisscrossed world that meanings vary from critical and evaluation perspectives. The adaptation is not about merely fixed definitions or even market orientations but open meanings on dialogues among realities. Any measurement from Literature or film is never enough to compare adaptation to its original form since it is located between individualities and societies. In conclusion, the adaptation of Literature should indicate that dominations must be minimized by maximizing hospitality of differences.

Abstract:

Objectives. The paper considers a satellite with an optoelectronic payload designed to take pictures of the Earth’s surface. The work sets out to develop a mathematical model for determining the dependencies between the state vector of the satellite, the state vector of the point being imaged on the Earth’s surface, and the distribution fields of the velocity vectors and accelerations of the motion of the image along the focal plane of the optoelectronic payload.Methods. The method is based on double differentiation of the photogrammetry equation when applied to a survey of the Earth’s surface from space. For modeling the orbital and angular motion of the satellite, differential equations with numerical integration were used. The motion parameters of the Earth’s surface were calculated based on the Standards of Fundamental Astronomy software library.Results. Differential equations of motion of the image were obtained. Verification of the developed mathematical model was carried out. The motion of the considered satellite was simulated in orbital orientation mode using an image velocity compensation model. The distribution fields of velocity vectors and accelerations of motion of the image of the Earth’s surface were constructed. The residual motion of the field of image following compensation was investigated.Conclusions. The proposed mathematical model can be used both with an optoelectronic payload when modeling shooting modes and estimating image displacements at the design stage of a satellite, as well as at the satellite operation stage when incorporating the presented model in the onboard satellite software. The presented dependencies can also be used to construct an image transformation matrix, both when restoring an image and when obtaining a super-resolution.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to empirically examine how atmospherics affect word of mouth (WOM) about the brand. The authors focus primarily on uncovering the causal mechanism in which such effect is serially mediated by both perceived positive emotions evoked by atmospherics and attitude toward the brand. Design/methodology/approach To test the research hypotheses, 314 Greek moviegoers were drafted to participate in a survey. Data were analysed using confirmatory factor analysis (AMOS) and the SPSS macro (PROCESS tool). The model was applied to motion pictures, as they provide a particularly good example of short life-cycle products. Findings Findings indicate that atmospherics are related to WOM about the brand through perceived emotions evoked by atmospherics and, in turn, attitude toward the brand. Research limitations/implications The present study extends the relevant literature by providing both direct and indirect links between atmospherics and WOM about a brand. Practical implications The model of the present study could be applied to other short life-cycle products that share key characteristics with motion pictures. Moreover, the present study increases movie producers and exhibitors’ understanding of the effects of theatre atmospherics on WOM about the movie and leads to practical suggestions and implications. Originality/value WOM is one of the key variables that can affect the profitability of short life-cycle products. To date, there was no evidence that atmospherics can influence WOM about a short life-cycle product.

Abstract:

Is the involvement of stars critical to the success of motion pictures? Film studios, which regularly pay multimillion-dollar fees to stars, seem to be driven by that belief. This article sheds light on the returns on this investment using an event study that considers the impact of more than 1200 casting announcements on trading behavior in a simulated and real stock market setting. The author finds evidence that the involvement of stars affects movies' expected theatrical revenues and provides insight into the magnitude of this effect. For example, the estimates suggest that, on average, stars are worth approximately $3 million in theatrical revenues. In a cross-sectional analysis grounded in the literature on group dynamics, the author also examines the determinants of the magnitude of stars' impact on expected revenues. Among other things, the author shows that the stronger a cast already is, the greater is the impact of a newly recruited star with a track record of box office successes or with a strong artistic reputation. Finally, in an extension to the study, the author does not find that the involvement of stars in movies increases the valuation of film companies that release the movies, thus providing insufficient grounds to conclude that stars add more value than they capture. The author discusses implications for managers in the motion picture industry.

Abstract:

This article analyses the socio-cultural status of Albinism in Africa and the role unchallenged stereotypes, irrational concepts, and unfounded beliefs play in the lives of persons with albinism. Following some beliefs, persons with albinism” do not die but vanish” to later “return as ghosts to haunt the living.” The author discusses this paradox about persons with albinism identified as hunted victims and simultaneously haunting perpetrators. The research examines the concept of albinism being a curse from dead ancestors or theodicy and its association with supernatural powers. By a comparative and diachronic approach, the study challenges unsubstantiated stereotypes. This study aims at social awareness by demystifying established myths and discussing study cases and examples referring to media, art, performing arts, literature, photography, and motion pictures.

Abstract:

In Chinese performance arts, one thing that was largely abandoned in the shift from traditional drama to motion pictures was the suppositionality of Chinese operatic performance, and the transition to digital cinema, particularly in the case of big-budget blockbusters that compete for mass audiences in greater China as well as abroad, raises the question of if and how an aesthetic of suppositionality is related to the emerging virtual realism enabled by computer-generated imagery (CGI). The concept of suppositionality not only helps us to evaluate how contemporary Chinese animation and CGI blockbusters remediate premodern cultural narratives but also provides an analytical measure for approaching the growing phenomenon of motion capture and composited performances. The “virtual realism” of CGI frees Chinese filmmakers to reject the ontological realism of photography and instead favor an aggressively animated style of visual effects while returning actors to a reprise of the suppositional performance style of traditional opera.

Abstract:

The author of Ala Recherchedu Temps Perdu, M. Proust was certainly a man of his time, which was coincidentally the beginning of the cinematic age. Therefore, it remains a relevant scholarly task to recognize the virtual connections between Proust’s poetics and filmmaking techniques: a problem S. Fokin is trying to solve in this article. Here, he focuses less on the principles of a strictly philological analysis that centres on textual elements, intertextual aspects or the book’s genesis, but prefers instead to delve into elements of literary anthropology, with its preoccupation with the unity between the author, the text and the context, which does not rule out the use of literature as a tool for comprehension of a literary personality. Such an assumption does not reduce literature to life: an opponent of Sainte-Beuve’s biographical method, Proust, for one, would not tolerate it; but neither does it reduce literature to a text as a self-sufficient structure: this position sees the book as co-substantial to the author. To summarize the findings, in order to understand Proust’s view of the cinematic art, one should remember that his almost snobbish dismissal of the meaning and significance of motion pictures was just as typical of the author as his aristocratic ideas about the meaning of literature.

Abstract:

AbstractIn no other epoch of Western history like in the Middle Ages, cosmology was so key an element of culture and, one way or another, the motion of the heavens ended up impregnating the literature of that time. Among the most noteworthy poets we find Dante Alighieri, who became famous for his Commedia, a monumental poem written roughly between 1307 and his death in 1321, and which the critics from 16th century onwards dubbed Divina. In this and other works, Dante pictures the cosmic image for the world, summing up the current trends of Neoplatonic and Islamic traditions. The Barolo Palace in the city of Buenos Aires is a singular combination of both astronomy and the worldview displayed in Dante's poetic masterpiece. Some links of the Palace's main architectural structure with the three realms of the Comedy have been studied in the past. In this note we consider its unique astronomical flavor, an issue which has not been sufficiently emphasized yet.

Abstract:

Shakespeare’s plays were first adapted in the Chinese cinema in the era of silent motion pictures, such as A Woman Lawyer (from The Merchant of Venice, 1927), and A Spray of Plum Blossoms (from The Two Gentlemen of Verona, 1931). The most recent Chinese adaptations/spinoffs include two 2006 films based on Hamlet. After a brief review of Shakespeare’s history in the Chinese cinema, this study compares the two Chinese Hamlets released in 2006—Feng Xiaogang’s Banquet and Hu Xuehua’s Prince of the Himalayas to illustrate how Chinese filmmakers approach Shakespeare. Both re-invent Shakespeare’s Hamlet story and transfer it to a specific time, culture and landscape. The story of The Banquet takes place in a warring state in China of the 10th century while The Prince is set in pre-Buddhist Tibet. The former as a blockbuster movie in China has gained a financial success albeit being criticised for its commercial aesthetics. The latter, on the other hand, has raised attention amongst academics and critics and won several prizes though not as successful on the movie market. This study examines how the two Chinese Hamlet movies treat Shakespeare’s story in using different filmic strategies of story, character, picture, music and style.

Abstract:

Intertextuality has been a driving force for Adaptation Studies, but few scholars have highlighted its relevance, rather prioritizing issues such as audience reception, cinematographic technique or aesthetics and, occasionally, fidelity. However, the starting point for any audiovisual production (be it film, television or theater) is the written matter, the text. Inserted within the field of Adaptation Studies in dialogue with Comparative Literature and Theory of Intertextuality, the present papers assesses the extent to which there are points of contact between William Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo And Juliet the Walt Disney animated motion picture Pocahontas. The paper initially discusses the adaptation of Shakespeare’s text as a starting point for film productions, proceeding to theoretical reflections between Comparative Literature, Adaptation Theory, intertextuality and rewriting, and to the comparative analysis between the tragedy and the motion picture, which leads to the conclusion of a retroversive movement between source and adapted texts, which invites to the question of intertextual rewriting in Adaptation Studies

Abstract:

The study aims to identify emotional Assimilation (love and hate) in a sample of drawings by Palestinian refugee children(female). The sample consisted of 68 pictures drawn by girls, aged 9 and 10, from Al-Arroub Refugee Camp, north of the southern West Bank city of Hebron. Each girl provided two drawings: one representing love and one representing hate. The study used the descriptive approach and the content analysis method. A model was designed for analysis, and its validity and consistency were calculated. The study checked for the emotional assimilation of love and hate in all symbolic expressions, whether they were political, social, natural, national, evaluative or religious according to the elements of the artistic composition: dominance of the element, position of the drawing, motion, method of expression, background of the drawing, the lines, the colors, number of shapes, and type of the shape: human, animal, plant, etc. The results for the detailed elements were discussed in the light of the previous literature and the theoretical framework of the present study, and some recommendations were made.

Full text

Abstract:

The image of a motion picture emerges in Nabokov’s early works collected under the title The Return of Chorb [Vozvrashchenie Chorba], years before his major ‘cinematographic’ novels. The article considers cinematography as a theme of three novellas in the collection and explores its functions. It argues that, as well as integrating the image of a film in his characteristic system of reflections and refractions, Nabokov employs it to create metatextual self-reflection: in Nabokov’s view, literature has cinematographic potential for conjuring up optical illusions and plunging the reader into a hallucination or a dream, and in doing so denies its own realistic or mimetic qualities. Just like a motion picture, Nabokov’s novellas are first and foremost interplays of colour and light and their movement — features that distinguish a cinematographic image from a photographic one. Nabokov also speaks of audial imagination as another common element between films (silent at that time) and literature: according to the novelist, a verbal image, silent and visual by nature, allows for the inaudible to be heard and challenges the veracity of the visible.

Abstract:

Despite its early promise, Armenia's transition to democracy has stalled. The literature on post-Communist transitions ascribes this outcome to the autocratic preferences of its first generation of leaders, and particularly the country's first president Levon Ter-Petrossian. I argue in this article that that literature depicts a profoundly distorted picture of the Armenian politics of the 1990s. The failure of Armenia's transition was primarily due to the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh and the political processes it set in motion.

Background and Objective Humans communicate with one another using language systems such as written words or body language (movements), hand motions, head gestures, facial expressions, lip motion, and many more. Comprehending sign language is just as crucial as learning a natural language. Sign language is the primary mode of communication for those who have a deaf or mute impairment or are disabled. Without a translator, people with auditory difficulties have difficulty speaking with other individuals. Studies in automatic recognition of sign language identification utilizing machine learning techniques have recently shown exceptional success and made significant progress. The primary objective of this research is to conduct a literature review on all the work completed on the recognition of Urdu Sign Language through machine learning classifiers to date. Materials and methods All the studies have been extracted from databases, i.e., PubMed, IEEE, Science Direct, and Google Scholar, using a structured set of keywords. Each study has gone through proper screening criteria, i.e., exclusion and inclusion criteria. PRISMA guidelines have been followed and implemented adequately throughout this literature review. Results This literature review comprised 20 research articles that fulfilled the eligibility requirements. Only those articles were chosen for additional full-text screening that follows eligibility requirements for peer-reviewed and research articles and studies issued in credible journals and conference proceedings until July 2021. After other screenings, only studies based on Urdu Sign language were included. The results of this screening are divided into two parts; (1) a summary of all the datasets available on Urdu Sign Language. (2) a summary of all the machine learning techniques for recognizing Urdu Sign Language. Conclusion Our research found that there is only one publicly-available USL sign-based dataset with pictures versus many character-, number-, or sentence-based publicly available datasets. It was also concluded that besides SVM and Neural Network, no unique classifier is used more than once. Additionally, no researcher opted for an unsupervised machine learning classifier for detection. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first literature review conducted on machine learning approaches applied to Urdu sign language.

Abstract:

An independently produced motion picture was used as a case study of the resource exchange pattern underlying project-based aesthetic production systems. Several exploratory propositions resulted concerning 1) sources of processual conflict, 2) the nature of resource criticality during the production process, 3) the timing of returns on invested resources, and 4) the commercialization of aesthetic products.

Abstract:

Objective. To analyze clinical outcomes and complication rates of transforaminal and interlaminar endoscopic decompression and open microsurgical operations performed for lumbosacral spinal canal stenosis.Material and Methods. The data of 60 literature sources selected in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria in the PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar and Cochrane Library databases were systematized by evaluating diagnostic methods, clinical pictures and surgical treatment of the lumbar spinal canal stenosis. Original studies, case series and reviews containing information on surgical methods for the treatment of spinal stenosis at the lumbar level were analyzed.Results. The complication rate after transforaminal endoscopic decompression (relapses, infectious complications, damage to the dural membrane and spinal roots) does not exceed 2.7 %, which is significantly lower than that in open microsurgical operation (4.8–8.8 %). Endoscopic decompression and reconstruction of the spinal canal demonstrate good clinical outcomes, lower number of bed-days, readmissions, and good economic benefits. When stenosis is combined with instability of the spinal motion segment, performing only a decompressive operation in any volume does not give a significant clinical result, and stabilization surgery is required.Conclusion. The introduction of endoscopic reconstructive surgery for spinal canal stenosis in the lumbosacral spine is associated not only with technical progress and improvement of endoscopic optics, but also with the search for the causes of unsatisfactory results of open operations. Endoscopic interventions showed good clinical outcomes and a decrease in the complication rate. However, the evidence base needs to be expanded due to the lack of randomized trials to compare open decompression and stabilization, and endoscopic reconstructive surgeries in patients with various manifestations of spinal stenosis.

Abstract:

This study of the emergence of the film industry in the U.S. between 1893 and 1920 contributes to the growing literature linking legal environments and population dynamics. This was an era characterized by a shift to active anti-trust policy, which manifested itself in legal action to disband a trust that had dominated the industry, the Motion Pictures Patents Corporation (MPPC). We use archival data to show that mortality was reduced by trust membership and increased with the market share of the trust members. The effects of litigation are varied, with litigation filed by trust members enhancing mortality and litigation filed against trust members decreasing mortality. Analysis of coded headlines from media reports on the emerging industry shows that a shift in the view of the trust in the normative environment toward a more negative view was also associated with decreased mortality. Results also show that learning and the compensatory fitness enjoyed before anti-trust law was enforced prevented the MPPC members from recognizing changes in the marketplace; as a result, they were less likely to move from making short films to making increasingly popular feature-length films.

Abstract:

Paintings containing cues suggesting left-to-right (LTR) motion are preferred by dextrals over their mirror-reversed versions (RTL) in forced-choices between the simultaneously-presented alternatives. To eliminate a simultaneous-contrast interpretation of the effect and to determine whether motion cues influence choice when paintings are seen alone, a successive-presentation procedure was used. When an LTR version preceded the RTL version, the LTR version was preferred within the pair by dextrals and also was preferred more frequently than RTL versions shown first Thus, these compositional features of single versions were noticed and affected judgment. An order-of-presentation effect was also found, in that the first member of a pair was preferred. Possible explanations for this are considered.

Abstract:

The survey starts with the presentation of the general principles underlying the different types of techniques which are most often used in wake visualization with their advantages, but also their respective limits. Then information deduced from flow pictures collected from the literature from the beginning of the century up to the present has been used to characterize the wake structure of a circular cylinder (at rest or submitted to various motions) and its evolution with the Reynolds number for an extended range (0 < Re < 107). Incompressible flow has been more particularly considered, both in the quasi-established phase (ten regimes are differentiated and extensively described) and in the transient phase (specific features are pointed out). Special attention has been paid to three-dimensional and memory effects by a combined presentation of crosswise and spanwise observations of the wake phenomena as well as their evolution with time. The influence of compressibility in the high-speed regime and of superimposed periodic motions, either on the cylinder or on the stream, have been also investigated and the main characteristics of the lock-in regime have been described. The survey is illustrated by 40 figures and completed by a table in which are reported the successive studies related to the flow around a circular cylinder based upon visualization, including a brief account of the experimental setups and methods, as well as a description of the main phenomena observed in the corresponding pictures.

Abstract:

Perceived duration is conventionally assumed to correspond with objective duration, but a growing literature suggests a more complex picture. For example, repeated stimuli appear briefer in duration than a novel stimulus of equal physical duration. We suggest that such duration illusions appear to parallel the neural phenomenon of repetition suppression, and we marshal evidence for a new hypothesis: the experience of duration is a signature of the amount of energy expended in representing a stimulus, i.e. the coding efficiency. This novel hypothesis offers a unified explanation for almost a dozen illusions in the literature in which subjective duration is modulated by properties of the stimulus such as size, brightness, motion and rate of flicker.

Abstract:

The paper analyzes the secondary meanings of the verbs of directed motion in the Khakass language, developed due to the original semantics reinterpretation. The semantic analysis has shown that secondary meanings expressing different movements were formed out of the primary meanings. The semantics development of these verbs greatly reflects the spatiotemporal representations of the Khakass people, which are the most important fragment of their world picture. It is in the cases of metaphorical displacement that this semantics is traceable. The analysis of the meanings relating to movement in space and time shows some tendency for secondary meanings relating to movement in space (including metaphorical) and time to develop. Some specificity is observed in the semantics of secondary meanings closely related to primary meanings that convey various movements in the physical sphere. However, the semantics of movement is transferred into the abstract sphere, where the associative transfer associated with spatial metaphor takes place. The primary meanings of all verbs analyzed generally contain the idea of approaching (moving away) something by moving a given object or subject from one place to another. The secondary values are closely related to the primary meanings conveying various kinds of movements in the physical sphere. The verbs of directed motion have proven to be productive in generating mental meanings and meanings related to the mental and emotional state, social relations, and behavior of a person.

Abstract:

Through Brilliant, Clever Poems and prose, Shel Silverstein has worked his way into many classrooms and into the hearts of students and teachers. He wrote poems with an obvious knowledge that a child's mind is active and curious, and middle school students love reading and listening to his words. Imbedded in many of his poems and prose are opportunities to do mathematics in ways that will get students' minds “flickerin'.” Using a poem, picture book, or portions of a novel can raise the curiosity of middle school students and can increase their desire to solve mathematics problems. As students engage in solving literature-based mathematics lessons, they are applying mathematics in different contexts and making connections among mathematical ideas, which are expectations outlined in the Connections Standard in Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 2000). In the following sections, four delightful Silverstein works prompted engaging mathematics explorations. Each selection focused on a different mathematical strand, although there is much integration of other concepts in the problems.

Abstract:

Abstract To date, the most industrially developed technology to produce green hydrogen is represented by alkaline water electrolysis (AWE). To improve on design and efficiency of these devices, however, multiphysics simulations based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are needed, able to account for electrophysical phenomena and multiphase flows. Focusing on internal flow optimization, the requirements for CFD simulations are anyhow extremely challenging, since solving the gas bubbles’ motion implies the solution of a two-phase flow characterized by very low Reynolds numbers and a high fraction of dispersed gas. Despite some interesting studies have been presented in the literature so far, validation of CFD results with detailed experimental measurements is quite rare and, therefore, the reliability of the adopted modelling approaches is not assessed yet. This study presents the results of a multivariate CFD analysis of an electrochemical cell and its validation through a literature test case. Bubbles generation is introduced as a source term, thus overlooking for the moment the electrochemistry to focus on fluid-dynamics. In particular, attention is given to the Eulerian multiphase modelling, investigating the influence of both the inter-phase interaction sub-models’ settings (e.g., lift and drag forces, virtual-mass force) and the general settings of the simulation. The mean velocity field of the PIV-measured bubbles is considered to assess the accuracy of numerical predictions, while the available high-definition flow pictures allow a qualitative assessment of the bubbles size and location. CFD results are shown to be in decent agreement with experimental data and able to reproduce the key flow features such as the spreading of the bubble curtains and the gas shifting towards the inner part of the cell. The effect of the bubbles’ diameter and of source layer thickness is also discussed.

Abstract:

Purpose – This paper aims to contribute to the marketing literature and practice by examining the effect of product placements on the host brand. The declining effectiveness of traditional advertising has prompted increasing interest in strategies for placing products in media programming. Most existing research adopt the perspective of the brands embedded in media products, with limited attention to the impact that product placement has on the media product that serves as a host brand for the embedded brands. The authors investigate this effect in the context of motion pictures and develop a theory-driven conceptual model. Design/methodology/approach – The authors test their hypotheses with two experiments in which randomly assigned participants view one of seven versions of a custom-made, seven-minute short film that differ in their level of placement prominence. Findings – The results from a mediation analysis indicate that, after controlling for audiences’ general attitudes toward the embedded brand, greater placement prominence heightens consumers’ reactance to persuasion attempts and negatively affects their evaluations of the host brand. A post hoc experiment confirms that even very low levels of placement prominence can worsen host brand evaluations. Originality/value – This research is among the first to investigate the effects of product placement from a host brand perspective. It issues a warning to producers of entertainment content: a product placement strategy may generate additional earnings, but it also can lower audiences’ evaluations of the focal entertainment product.

Abstract:

Film also known as the 7th Art is a medium for education, information and entertainment which has over the years undergone a series of technological innovations. This paper examines the evolution of cinema from the ‘silent era’ to the ‘new age era’ characterized by a trajectory of innovations and improvements due to technological developments. The paper adapts the Diffusion of Innovations Theory (DIT) propounded by Everett Rogers in 1962 to assess the extent to which innovations in digital technology have altered the old traditional film production landscape. The paper seeks, among others, to determine and highlight the significant areas technology has impacted on the development of motion pictures globally with particular emphasis on the Nigerian film industry popularly known as Nollywood. Our major point of interest is on the roles, impacts, challenges and prospects of digital technology in the areas of production, distribution, marketing and exhibition of films. By using the assumptions of DIT which seeks to explain how, why, and at what rate new ideas and technology spread. The paper further reviews relevant literature and some empirical results from scholars to justify its claims. We are able to establish in our findings that digital technology is the driving force of film development which has contributed enormously to world cinema. Furthermore, the rapid development and emergence of Nollywood film industry as the second largest producer of films in the world next to Bollywood of India is attributable to the emergence of digital technology.
