Believing in Murder. Working with Actors
In this paper I want to focus on working with actors. How we tried to reach such extreme emotions and behaviour as described above. I will describe the process of rehearsals with the two main actors and the problems we met on the road. Its important to mention that the idea for this kind of film was also strongly inspired by my wish to work with actors on an extremely emotional level, where we would all more or less lose control
The Life of Jesus by Bruno Dumont
The thesis will focus on analysing what “ The Life Of Jesus” is about and how this is portrayed through the main character, Freddy. It will discuss the concept of the filmie character as a “common human being”, who does not have access to intellectual reflection and verbal articulation of emotional conflict and crisis, but who, at the same time, is capable of feeling a great deal. He feels the emotional conflict and crisis that make up the story. I will also attempt to step inside the same filmic character itself and analyse how to visualize the morals, ethics and emotions that the character cant verbalize or communicate in any direct or intellectual way. Bruno Dumont speaks about filming the inside of a person as his highest dream. I will discuss film directing using The Life Of Jesus as an example, but I will also draw on my own experiences as a filmmaker
Ultrafast Electron Diffraction at Surfaces:From Nanoscale Heat Transport to Driven Phase Transitions
Many fundamental processes of structural changes at surfaces occur on a pico-
or femtosecond time scale. In order to study such ultra-fast processes, we have
combined modern surface science techniques with fs-laser pulses in a pump-probe
scheme. Reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) with grazing
incident electrons ensures surface sensitivity for the probing electron pulses.
Utilizing the Debye-Waller effect, we studied the nanoscale heat transport from
an ultrathin film through a hetero-interface or the damping of vibrational
excitations in monolayer adsorbate systems on the lower ps-time scale. By means
of spot profile analysis the different cooling rates of epitaxial Ge
nanostructures of different size and strain state were determined. The
excitation and relaxation dynamics of a driven phase transition far away from
thermal equilibrium is demonstrated using the In-induced (8x2) reconstruction
on Si(111). This Peierls-distorted surface charge density wave system exhibits
a discontinuous phase transition at 130 K from a (8x2) insulating ground state
to (4x1) metallic excited state. Upon excitation by a fs-laser pulse, this
structural phase transition is non-thermally driven in only 700 fs into the
excited state. A small barrier of 40 meV hinders the immediate recovery of the
groundstate and the system is found in a metastable supercooled state for up to
few nanoseconds
Canonical matrices of bilinear and sesquilinear forms
Canonical matrices are given for
(a) bilinear forms over an algebraically closed or real closed field;
(b) sesquilinear forms over an algebraically closed field and over real
quaternions with any nonidentity involution; and
(c) sesquilinear forms over a field F of characteristic different from 2 with
involution (possibly, the identity) up to classification of Hermitian forms
over finite extensions of F.
A method for reducing the problem of classifying systems of forms and linear
mappings to the problem of classifying systems of linear mappings is used to
construct the canonical matrices. This method has its origins in representation
theory and was devised in [V.V. Sergeichuk, Math. USSR-Izv. 31 (1988) 481-501].Comment: 44 pages; misprints corrected; accepted for publication in Linear
