First of all in the art of acting, created by the artist and thus the created work (artifact) represents a union. For example, a writer writes a novel, a composer composes music; painters do paintings, but only the actor is at the same time the creator and the result of his/hers own art. This feature of the actor not only determines the narrative expression it also determines the inner and private life of the actors. Though the existence of the actor is not a life, which is only consisted of his own, but also it is the life of others, there is a continuing public side in an actor’s life. Most of the actor’s lives are identified with the characters they play, and in certain cases the characters they play goes into a realm beyond the actors and take a shape a life form of its own in a sense it exchanges the place of the real character. Therefore, actors are inevitably forced to live a life of constant dilemma. Prior to anything else, it must be admitted that this is a psychological burden. This state of neither mind nor situation has to be considered by every director, and understood that to work with the actors is to work with a palette of rich hues, of emotionally high and low volumes and of highly sensitive and easily affected personas.Publication Promotion Of Environmental Protection In Film: Case Study Of Documentary Film “Winter Fruits”(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-01) Prnjat, DejanaDocumentary films, whether perceived as a creative treatment of actuality or as a tool for presenting life as it is, are becoming more attractive form to film artists. One of the reasons may be the fact that the documentary film is usually a smaller investment than the feature film, and that lately some of them generate quite high earnings, as the films Fahrenheit 9/11 and March of the Penguins. However, part of the charm of the documentary film is that it affects its audience differently than the feature film. Boundary line between the audience and the film almost disappears, and the audience becomes a witness. That is why the documentaries are often used for marketing purposes. Questions related to promotion of environmental protection more and more frequently attract the attention of the documentary film makers, as evidenced by the increasing number of environmental film festivals in the world. The main aim of this paper is to present one such film - Serbian low-budget documentary film Winter fruits. Powerful message this film carries, that we should all take care of the planet Earth since it is the only place we can live on, was recognized at film festivals worldwide. The film has won numerous awards, including the very prestigious Golden Dolphin, awarded at the Documentary Film Festival in Cannes in 2011, and the Grand Prix for the best ecotourism film, awarded by CIFFT (Comité International des Festivals du film Touristique) in Vienna 2011.Publication Thoughts On The New Dadaist Tactic Of Our Era: ‘Sweded Films' And Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-01) Aytemiz, Pelin; TR28402Be Kind Rewind (2008), comedy-drama film written and directed by Michel Gondry, can be considered as an alternative film as it has initiated a novel and subversive cultural practice called “sweding”. Sweding, initially a term used by the characters of the film that describes their amateur way of remaking the famous cult films, started to be a marginal phenomena and adopted by crowds as a tactic of subverting dominant ideologies of mass culture. The meaning of sweding cut across its original meaning as a way of producing homemade films and started to be described as any kind of practice of re-creating something from scratch using commonly available, mundane everyday objects and skills. This idea of remaking has a critical and subversive potential. In this sense, this paper aims to engage in a critical analysis of Be Kind Rewind's ability to shift meanings of filmmaking using the criticism of Collin McCabe's “Classical Realist Text'” and trace the subversive and alternative elements of this cultural phenomenon of sweding. It will be argued that the style and amateur film production associated with sweded films recall the techniques of the 20th-century art movement Dadaism that questions art and comments on daily life practices. Departing from this observation, the paper will open up the new “genre” of “Sweded Cinema” to further questioning and suggest that there is a potential in Sweded Cinema in challenging Classical Hollywood Cinema just like the way Dadaism countered high art and dominant ideologies of its time.Publication Changes In Sociocultural Representations In Popular Digital Games(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-01) Göksu, İdris; Aslan, Alper; Karakuş, Türkan; TR60046; TR40344; TR119568The aim of this study is to investigate digital games with respect to sociocultural aspects and examine whether they are influenced by social and cultural events. In total, 14 digital games were studied by the researchers through documentation analysis. Results showed that sociocultural factors and current events were heavily featured in games from 2002-2004, while 2012-2014 games highlighted social interaction, natural environments of the world, and exceptional, action-packed events. This study is valuable for revealing how games reflect sociocultural changes over time.Publication 1990 Sonrası Türkiye Sinemasında Yaşlılık Temsilleri(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-01) Ertaylan, ArzuTaken as a natural biological process, the phenomenon of old age as a sub-branch of medical science has gradually gained a sociological dimension due to the significance it gained with the increase in old age population in the world; and in a short time it has been positioned as an interdisciplinary field called gerontology (aging and the science of aging). The sociological dimension of the phenomenon of old age involves the position of the old aged in the given system and other factors such as socioeconomic and sociocultural conditions that determine this position; and these factors constitute the reflection of the current policies. From this point of view, an evaluation concerning the phenomenon of old age or the current position of the old aged in Turkey, where lives a society with traditional roots cannot be considered independent from the modernisation process and the distinctive sociocultural and socioeconomic conditions of this process. The position concerning the old aged is thought to be shifting to a new ‘other’ in contemporary societies, especially in the western countries. In this respect, it is possible to predict that this ‘othering’ process will eventually start in traditional societies as well. The reflection of this process in cinema seems interesting in terms of representations of the phenomenon of old age in cinema. In this study, the representations of the phenomenon of old age will be examined in terms of socio-political and sociocultural reflections of the modernisation process. In this regard, several variables will be questioned, such as how the phenomenon of old age is represented in the Turkish cinema after 1990; whether this representation contributes to building a new ‘other’; whether an alternative representation is presented instead of reproducing the prevailing perception of old age. The study will be based on the qualitative content analysis of the selected films that will be analysed in terms of above mentioned questions and will be interpreted with a critical point of view through a sociological perspective.
