Movie-Sweet and lowdown by Woody Allen Watch the movie and write the essay response. 1 – 2 pages, vertical page format, double-spaced, no fancy words needed. Consider touching upon the following points, but not necessarily in the order presented: 1. Was Emmett Ray a real person? 2. What of Ray’s obsession with Django Reinhardt? 3. What of his look? Personality? Philosophies? 4. What of his hobbies? How do they affect his work? How do others see them? 5. What of his narcissism? Does he remind you of anyone currently in the news? 6. What of his relationship with Hattie? What does she represent? 7. What is the song Hattie falls for and is then associated with the two of them? 8. What of his relationship with Blanche? What of her and what she represents? Why did he marry her so impulsively? 9. Is there some sort of deliverance, realization, epiphany, or comeuppance for Ray? 10. What of the ‘talking heads’ and what they set us up for? 11. What of the actual musicians on the soundtrack? Any real playing going on or all miming? What of the music itself? Songs? Style? 12. What of the ‘Django effect’ on musicians and American Jazz history? Did this movie, being from 1999, help at the time to spark an interest among the public in Jazz in general or in ‘Gypsy Jazz’ in particular? 13. Is there any larger meaning this film offers that you come away with? 14. What is the ‘Sweet’? The ‘Lowdown? 15. Do you feel this movie is a realistic portrayal of the life of a Jazz musician? What aspects are plausible? What are not? 16. Since Ray is in essence such a despicable human being, should his habits/treatment of people/beliefs/etc. color our appreciation of his (or any of the other great artists in Jazz history with similar issues) music? Is it important to separate the music from the musician? Or, anything else you might feel relevant.

2:Promotion announcement

Write one 30 second promotion announcement of your choice for either of the following:
A 30 second generic positioning promotion announcement for the newscast. This would run at
various times on Channel 8 W-TV.
These should be submitted in script form. Can someone look at your script and
actually hear or visualize what is taking place? Could we actually give these to a producer to
execute? Remember to utilize the strengths of the individual medium. These should be written
and designed to be produced within the means of the budget and personnel of the stations. i.e. you can’t hire a helicopter to shoot beauty shots.

Q2: Go to the trade history page, choose at least one of your profitable stock trades and list related transaction information in a summarized table. Make sure you include at least two transactions (buy and sell, or short and cover). If you have not closed your currently profitable transaction yet, then give your anticipated sell/cover price.
• What made you trade this stock initially? What was your belief on the future price trend of this stock during that time and why did you hold such an opinion?
• What encouraged you to close your position (sell your holdings or cover your short position)? If you have not closed your position yet, what are the possible reasons to have it stay open?

Q3: Answer Q2 with at least one of your unprofitable trades.

Q4: List one of your trades placed with a limit (buy or sell) order. What made you believe that placing a limit on this trade would be better than placing a market order? Did you gain any profits from this limit order?
