The Artist

/in /by

Written and directed by Michel Hazanavicius

Why do you think the screenwriter chose the title/name The Artist?
When we consider the main character George Valetin, can we compare Hollywood to the protagonist (George) and question has Hollywood itself, like the protagonist of The Artist, been made obsolete by new technologies such as Video on Demand (VOD) platforms like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and the like?
Why do you think The Artist was so successful and reverenced in the Oscars in 2012? What do you think makes the film special to some people?
Why was it difficult for silent film actors to get speaking parts in the new “talking pictures?”
In The Artist, at the end of the film, George’s “language reveal” is a surprise, is that “language reveal” meant to explain his professional problems? Why or why not?
The Artist is rated PG-13, any particular reason why?
In the 2012 Academy Awards The Artist was up for Best Picture (and won). Given that it was a French film distributed in America, why was it up for Best Picture rather than Best Foreign Language film?
Some moviegoers were having second thoughts about seeing The Artist because it’s a silent movie and therefore weird or boring. Do you think people will like the film even though it’s silent?

Risk Treatment and Response Plan

/in /by

elect three fictitious competitive risks that you believe would be of concern in the acquisition of a new product at your fictitious company. You may want to use the threats you identified from the week 1 S.W.O.T assignment but that is not necessary. You should provide a paragraph for each risk, establishing what the threat or risk is or could be that would cause the real or potential risk to occur. You should also explain where you would look for the data to perform the analytics-based assessment of the risk.

You should then provide your early views on the risk impact and the likelihood that it could occur. This should be followed by a few paragraphs describing how you will interact with your team and senior managers to complete the risk assessment.
