The document proposes an idea for a music video for the Nickelback song "Savin' Me". The idea is to follow an average-looking main character and show his journey of making life choices. Half of his body would be written with positive options and the other half with negative options, representing his internal struggle. Throughout the video, the writing on his body would change to show his changing thoughts. Costumes would include everyday clothes to show his normalness, and boxer shorts to clearly show the writing on his entire body with black writing on the left side and red on the right. Locations would include the high street, London, and the character's home to depict him making choices. Lyrics from the song would

The document discusses how authors often use sex in their writing to represent something other than just physical intimacy. It notes that when authors write about sex, they are usually conveying deeper meanings, and quotes suggest that famous novels like A Clockwork Orange and Lolita used scenes of "bad sex" to symbolize concepts like evil. The document concludes that sex in literature and real life can be used to signify a wide range of emotions and experiences beyond just pleasure.Music video ideas

The document outlines camera shots that would be used in a music video. It describes a homeless boy passing through a neighborhood as people hurry about their lives. He enters a cafe and reminisces about how his life has changed, until a lady approaches and talks with him. The boy then takes a confused walk around before wanting to break free, shown by him running as the beat drops while lyrics are held up by random people. The shots are meant to portray the boy feeling misunderstood and wasting away until finding solace and love.273 grammar explanation on page 183

This document discusses the differences between using infinitives and gerunds after certain verbs. For some verbs like "love" and "prefer", the meaning is essentially the same whether an infinitive or gerund is used. However, for other verbs like "forget", "regret", and "stop", the meaning can differ depending on whether an infinitive or gerund follows. The document provides examples to illustrate how the meaning changes in each case. It also notes exceptions for verbs like "try" where the meaning differs only in the past tense, not future tense.7-12-11

The document outlines a concept for a music video that tells the story of a boy developing a relationship with a girl. It begins with the boy writing a song about the girl in his bedroom. Throughout the video, scenes show the boy lip syncing the song in different locations as his relationship with the girl progresses, from sketching her in a park to going on an official date together at a restaurant. Interspersed are scenes of the couple laughing together with friends, though their friends also tease the boy about his feelings for the girl. The video concept ends without a definite conclusion as to whether the couple will continue their relationship.Conditional verb

This document describes the three types of conditional sentences in English. Conditional Type 1 refers to possible future events using "if + present, will + future". Type 2 refers to unlikely present situations using "if + past simple, would + infinitive". Type 3 refers to impossible past events using "if + past perfect, would have + past participle". Each type is used to express that a consequence in the main clause can only occur if a condition in the if-clause is or were fulfilled. Examples are provided for each type.Shot list

The document proposes a storyline and visual concept for a music video for the song "Secrets" by One Republic. The main idea is that the video would show the artist literally revealing secrets by having words come out of his mouth. It would show him revealing secrets in various everyday locations like homes, parks, and stores. At the end, he is in a room with people discussing and laughing about his secrets, but he feels free for revealing them. Flashbacks would show past events that explain the secrets and reasons for keeping them. The flashbacks would have a white glow to portray them as secret memories.Brainstorming

Brainstorming is a technique used to generate ideas in a group setting where participants are encouraged to freely propose unconventional solutions. It works best when there is a need to generate many ideas on a given topic from a group. To brainstorm effectively, a facilitator and recorder should be designated, ground rules like no criticism established, and ideas recorded and organized. There are two types - divergent brainstorming aims for quantity of ideas and doesn't require experts, while convergent brainstorming seeks remedies from experts and fewer overall ideas.Customer centric workshop

Brainswarming is a creativity method established in 2010 by Tony McCaffrey as an alternative to traditional brainstorming. It involves participants writing down ideas on post-it notes without talking first, to include more introverted people. The problem or goal is defined and placed at the top, and resources are listed at the bottom. Participants generate ideas that connect the top and bottom. All ideas are revealed simultaneously, connections are made, and potential solutions emerge. The document provides an example of brainswarming around the goal of customers recognizing a store's fish offer in its outdoor area. Various ideas are generated and connected to resources to potentially achieve the goal.Creative Workshop: Author's Talk at SxSWi

The song analyzes the differences between the present and the past from the perspective of the artist and their grandmother. The artist observes the deterioration of their environment and wishes to escape the struggles of daily life ("Sunshine seems like a mile away"). Through references to family, community disconnect, and inner turmoil, the song explores themes of coping with hardship. It conveys the artist's realization that running away from problems is not a solution and that inner change is necessary to improve their situation.Composing a Life Storyby Mary Catherine BatesonPublished on .docx

There are advantages in having access to multiple versions of your life story. I am not referring to a true version versus a false version, or to one that works in a particular therapeutic context as opposed to others, or to one that will sell to People Magazine as opposed to ones that won't. I am referring to the freedom that comes not only from owning your memory and your life story but also from knowing that you make creative choices in how you look at your life. It can be very difficult to recognize the ways in which one situation or event in your life is linked to others. When you are able to see multiple levels of changes and consistency, you are empowered to make your own decisions.
When I was working on my memoir of my parents, With a Daughter's Eye, I found an example of this in my father's life. Some of you may know my father, Gregory Bateson, as a great anthropologist, a great thinker. But in the middle of his life, he went through a difficult period that went on for some time. From year to year he didn't know whether he would have a salary, whether there would be anything to live on.
His career at that time must have seemed totally discontinuous. First he was a biologist. Then he got interested in anthropology and went to New Guinea. He made a couple of field trips that he never wrote up. Then to Bali. During the war he wrote an analysis of propaganda films and worked in psychological warfare. Then he did a study of communication in psychotherapy. Then he worked on alcoholism and schizophrenia, and then on dolphins and octopuses. Somehow he turned into a philosopher.
One of the things that I realized while I was putting together the memoir is that only when he drew together a group of his articles--all written in very different contexts for very different audiences, with apparently different subject matter--and put them into the book called Steps to an Ecology of Mind, did it become clear to him that he had been working on the same kind of question all his life: The continuous thread through all of his work was an interest in the relationships between ideas.
The interruptions that forced him to change his research focus were absolutely critical to pushing him up the ladder of logical types, so that ultimately he could see continuity at a very abstract level. His insight, his understanding of what he had been working on all his life, was a result of a sometimes desperate search for a continuity beyond the discontinuities.
When I started writing Composing a Life, the issue that I wanted to write about was the issue of discontinuity. Part of my interest in this was based on two events in my own life. One was that I had just gone through the experience of losing, in a rather painful way, a job that I cared about. I had been forced to change jobs bef.Journey To Self Discovery

It explains that life can be seen as a river, starting slowly in childhood and gaining energy in youth before slowing down in old age, just as rivers flow quickly from mountains but slow on plains. Life is also compared to a novel, with people as characters and daily experiences as chapters. Additionally, life is said to be like using a camera, where people should focus on important moments and learn from negative experiences. A metaphor is also made that life is a play directed by God, with people as actors on a stage. Finally, the document states that life is a journey with challenges along the path but that people have

A Psalm of Life" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow encourages readers to make the most of their lives rather than wasting time. In nine stanzas of quatrains with an ABAB rhyme scheme, Longfellow asserts that life is real and earnest, not just a dream. He says death is not the ultimate goal, and one should strive to leave behind good deeds for others to follow. The poem highlights that life is short and should be used impactfully rather than spent in sorrow, enjoyment or sloth. One should work hard and have faith that God will reward their efforts.Writing A Dbq Essay

The poem explores the persona's indecision about communist China and whether attempting change is worthwhile. The first stanza conveys a melancholy tone as the persona questions whether their thoughts will make a difference given censorship. The second stanza contrasts by suggesting hardship may lead to good, and one should focus on others' suffering rather than their own. The last stanza definitively states that despite life's pointlessness, humans have no choice but to live on due to their innate will to exist.Unit 7.

Brainstorming Ideas
- 2. Savin’ Me - Nickelback The idea that we have come up with is a mysterious character/average looking person is growing up like every human being does but instead we follow him on his journey to see what choices he makes in his life. Half of the person's body will be written with positive things to do with his life and the other half negative things, which would represent how he's deciding on what he wants to do with his life and how he could end up anywhere. The writing on his body will be all over the place, it won’t be straight and in order. Some words will be big and some words will be slanted, this is to show how confused the main character is. The writing on the main character’s body will only be shown for the performance shots but we may decide that the public should react to the writing, if our main character is sitting down we can do a time lapse of people looking and showing the viewer what the general public think of the writing.
- 3. Costumes and locations  Everyday clothes: this is for shots of his everyday life, he will be wearing a white shirt, jumper, blue jeans and shoes. We want to make it clear that he is an average person.  Writing on body: he will only have boxer shorts on so that all of his body can get writing on there, this will let us emphasis the fact that half of his body is good and half is bad because both legs will also be covered. The writing will be black on the left, and red on the right.  High street: when the main character is sitting down for his time lapse, this will show the public reaction.  London: there will be some shots of London and the main character walking around to make the right choices in his life.  Home: same as London, at home he will be making choices of his life.
- 4. Application to lyrics The idea would go well with the lyrics, these are some examples of lyrics that we have ideas for: "Heaven's gates won't open up for me and with these broken wings I'm falling, and all I see is you" For me, the lyrics show how his life is incomplete. He cannot go to heaven because the gates won’t open, he is falling because he is not getting the thing that he wants and all he see’s is the thing that will complete him. "Show me what it's like...to be the last one standing and teach me wrong from right" We thought of a point of view shot where the character is looking at the writing on his left arm/hand and turns to look at the writing on his right arm/hand as if he's literally looking at "wrong" and "right" thing to do with his life. This shows how his mind seems disorientated thinking about this life choice and the journey we go through when making choices, how easy it is to make a right and wrong choice. His hands are the his conscience, or the good and bad angel. Like previously said, the lyrics mentions heavens gates, but in a verse it mentions prisons gates too: "Prison gates won't open up for me" "Heaven's gates won't open up for me" So this could still be in reference to choosing between right and wrong things in his life, or that he needs to make his choices so that either prison gates or heaven gates will open for him. More lyrics that will reference this is the name of the song "Savin' Me", the song is about Saving someone, in this case it would be saving the person from choosing the wrong path in their life.
