Complete 2 page APA formatted essay: Film noir.

Yet this list is not exhaustive. Thrillers such as This Gun for Hire, The Big Sleep and The Lady in the Lake are as much part of the genre as are the more experimental Call Northshid 777, The House on the 92nd Street and The Naked City. Whatmore, compounding the problem of definition of film noir are the various renowned directors who have embraced the genre. Household names like Billy Wilder, John Huston, Otto Preminger, Robert Siodmak and Fritz Lang have all contributed to film noir. These luminous directors have not merely restricted themselves to film noir but have acquired fame for works in other genres. Hence classification on the basis of director groupings is also inadequate in defining film noir. Perhaps the only definitive quality is that the genre came into its own in the decade after the Second World War. It was an era of morose and confusion, as people (both in the United States and Europe) were grappling with evil tendencies in human nature – something film noir faithfully captures. In my opinion, authors Borde and Chaumeton do a commendable job of attempting to define the genre. They lay out the broader categories into which it falls, which incidentally complicate the problem. Finally, their definition of the genre in terms of its emotional effects on the audience – the state of tension and a specific psychological alienation imposed on the spectator – is something I agree with.

The author begins by acknowledging the difficulties in defining film noir. Contrasting it with other established genres like horror or western, Schrader reckons that the differentiating quality of film noir is its subtle yet dark tone and mood. More than qualities inherent to the film, its periodic setting and its production in the forties and early fifties are better markers of the genre. There were four key socio-political conditions during this period which were instrumental in the birth of film noir. The first was

The Measurement of Central Tendencies The central measure of tendencies for the data sets of years of school completed and mother’s education give a clearer picture of the possible relationship between the two variables. The population used for the research topic was 575 respondents. The mean (M) for this population was 13.65 which shows that on average the respondents attended one year plus of college. The M for mothers’ education was slightly lower at 11.71. The median for both was based on a range of 0 – 20. However, when the median was factored into the population the data set showed that the population’s highest degree was 14 which equals the completion of some college. The median and mode for the mothers equaled 12 meaning the majority of the respondents complete high school and did not attend college. The mode for the highest degree of the population of 12 shows that the completion of high school was the most often chose answer. The mode was selected 134 times which equals 23% by highest degree participants and 203 or 35% for mothers. The standard deviation (SD) of 3.2 shows that 68% of the respondents’ highest degree was between 10.45 and 16.85. The SD for mother’s education was 3.8 for mothers.

Salkind (2017) discussed the correlation coefficient whereas the relationship of two variables that are continuous in nature named the Pearson correlation coefficient. A Pearson’s correlation was run to test a possible relationship between highest year of school completed (M = 13.65, SD = 3.21) and sleep (M = 12.00, SD = 3.844). Pearson’s correlation results indicate there is not a significant, positive relationship between the highest year of school and highest year school completed mother = .182. This indicates that those with the highest year of school completed did not identify as mothers. The Pearson correlation was used based on the parametric data provided by assigning the highest degree with the highest grade an individual completed. There is a relationship between the years of school completed and mother education. The data shows that there is a similar relationship among the highest year completed and mother’s completion rates.

Developing applications requires much forethought and planning. This project will guide you through the various steps of designing a program that meets a set of requirements. When requirements are understood, software development techniques and tools can be applied to design the objects needed by the program. Once the design has been determined, program logic can be defined. Finally, writing source code can begin.

For this assignment, you will need to refer to a set of requirements, design the program, and then create the code.

Application Requirements

You have been requested to develop a Java application for a large company that provides members and the general public an online product catalog for ordering items like books, DVDs, clothes, household products, and so forth. There are several levels of users, including public (user has not registered), level 1 member, level 2 member, and level 3 member. The level 1 member pays a small monthly subscription fee. Level 2 members are associated with a small business who pays an annual fee covering less than 100 members. Level 3 members are employees of large corporations (more than 100 members) who subscribe annually. As the level increases, so does the discount. The following list highlights these requirements.

The requirements for the application are as follows:

  • The application will act as an online ordering system.
  • The company accepts orders online and ships those items to the customer address.
  • Customers must create a line of credit prior to placing an order.
  • Customers view products from the catalog of items.
  • Customers place orders.
  • The administrator updates account information on behalf of members.
  • Administrators add, delete, and modify items in the catalog.
  • The application is able to run under most operating systems, including UNIX and Windows, and has a modern graphical user interface.
  • The application is designed for future growth.

Part 1 (55 points)

Review the requirements and, using Visio, develop your design by creating use case diagrams, a class diagram, and a sequence diagram. Templates can be found in Visio by accessing the UML System template. There is a use case shape to help you create your use case diagrams. There is a UML sequence shape. Under “More Shapes,” you will find an entity relationship shape for your class diagram.

Click here to refer to a Visio tutorial to learn Visio basics.

  • Use case diagrams are used to summarize the relationships between use cases, actors, and systems.
  • Use Case 1: Create Account
  • Use Case 2: Place Order
  • Use Case 3: Add Product to Catalog
  • Use Case 4: Update Account Information
  • Sequence diagram that illustrates the various object interactions in their proper sequential order.
  • Class diagrams depict the objects and information structures used by the application. The definition of a class is independent of the application itself. Classes describe the objects managed by the application but are independently defined. Be sure to show relationships between class objects, attributes, data types, and methods in your diagram.
  • Class 1: Account
  • Class 2: Account Level
  • Class 3: Address
  • Class 4: Products
  • Class 5: Order
  • Class 6: Line Item

Once you have completed your diagrams, copy them into a Word document that will serve as your application design document. Include explanations for each diagram in your design document.

Part 2 (25 points)

Create pseudocode that describes the necessary flow of your program with respect to both creating a user account and placing an order. This information should be included in your application design document. This information should be included in your application design document.

Part 3 (45 points)

Explain your steps regarding taking the business requirements and developing your application design. Provide details as to the importance of following these important steps prior to coding the application. Describe the advantages and disadvantages to this process. Discuss how this process relates to the software development life cycle.

Parts 1, 2, & 3 are all included in the application design document.
