emma watson fashion and modelling
Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson born 15 April 1990 is an English actress and model who rose to prominence playing Hermione Granger, one of three starring roles in the Harry Potter film series. Watson was cast as Hermione at the age of nine, having previously acted only in school plays. From 2001 to 2010, she starred in seven Harry Potter films alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint; she will return for the final installment: the second part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Watson's work on the Harry Potter series has earned her several awards and more than £10 million. She made her modelling debut for Burberry's Autumn/Winter campaign in 2009.
In 2007, Watson announced her involvement in two non-Harry Potter productions: the television adaptation of the novel Ballet Shoes and an animated film, The Tale of Despereaux. Ballet Shoes was broadcast on 26 December 2007 to an audience of 5.2 million, and The Tale of Despereaux, based on the novel by Kate DiCamillo, was released in 2008 and grossed over US $70 million in worldwide sales.

    Emma, Clueless, and the Taking of Likeness

    Clueless, an adaptation of Jane Austen 's 1815 novel, Emma, is a 1995 American film by director, Amy Heckerling. The comedy serves as a 20th century update of the original text that shifts into creating a contemporary Emma, one for our own era. Though Clueless seems to set forth on building its reputation on a completely new, distinct ground, it is not an entirely different work of art. Considerable amounts of uniformities between the adaptation and Emma can be pinpointed throughout. As “Clueless is most faithful to Emma in its recreation of the plot involving Mr. Elton, Harriet Smith, and Emma” (Troost, Linda, and Greenfield 124), several parallels between the two distinctive texts, concerning this matter, can be recognized. One outstanding example is the correspondence and connection between the modern photography scene in Clueless and the sketching/painting of Harriet’s portrait in Emma. Hence, along with the novel’s highly persuasive guidance and the two’s so-called loose relation, various similarities as well as differences are inevitably present.…

    Comparing Gettysburg Address And Emma Watson's Gender Equality

    ¨Oh yeah, I love that speech! It has such a profound meaning. ” These words aren't often spoken, but when they are, the person saying it, without a doubt, means it. What makes a speech so memorable? Is it possible to find similarities between two completely different speeches, such as; Abraham Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address” and Emma Watson’s “Gender Equality is your issue, too” speech? A speech is a formal address or discourse delivered to an audience; however, it may seem to be a jumble of words spoken out loud, if it is not potent and meaningful. The use of rhetorical devices, persuasive techniques, and rhetoric appeals makes a speech memorable because they trigger emotions and engross the audience into each and every word. Abraham Lincoln’s…

    Transformation: Emma & Clueless

    Amy Heckerling transforms the many values and issues conveyed in Jane Austen’s Emma, set in the 18th century in Highbury to her teen pic film Clueless set in the 20th century, in a high school society. Both texts involve a protagonist, being Emma in Emma and Cher in Clueless who meddle with the relationships of others as their interest, while being “placed in the midst of those who loved her, and who had better sense than herself”. The protagonists are morally transformed towards the end of the film and novel when they slowly realise the error of their ways. The texts explore unchanged values while highlighting society changes through the transformation of values. Heckerling and Austen convey the values marriage, integrity versus wealth and social status through cinematography and writing techniques such as dialogue, characterisation and stereotyping.…

    Comparative Analysis Between Emma and Clueless

    Texts can be re-contextualised and manipulated in order to be relevant to a modern day society. However, the transformation is usually apparent and thus a link can be established between the original and the new. The transformation can give the audience a better understanding of societal values and attitudes present in the texts. Jane Austen's book Emma(1816), relevant to society in Regency England, is relived in a modern day context relevant to the 20th century American society in Amy Heckerling's “teen flick” Clueless(1995). Social status plays a crucial part in both texts.…

    Transformation - Jane Austen Emma to Clueless

    The transformation process redefines a story to make it accessible to the culture and values of a contemporary context. The manipulation of medium, genre, setting, characters and plot enables the transformed text to be understood and connect with a new audience. Amy Heckerling’s post-modern film transformation Clueless (1995) is derived from Jane Austen’s classic novel Emma (1816) with both texts comparable as they use satire to address similar values. The shift in context enables the texts to reinforce the values of Regency England or 1990s Beverly Hills. Heckerling subverts and appropriates the original text to a cinematic context, through this she can comment on American society thus invoking new meaning to the ideas in Emma. Both composers approach the place of the social hierarchy, placing weight on class, marriage and charity. Furthermore, through examination of the transformation process it is evident that human concerns remain intact with values conditional on the world of the text.…

Rowling made it very clear from the start that the cast be kept strictly British, allowing for the actors that a lot of people enjoy today such as the late Richard Harris as Dumbledore, and for casting of French and Eastern European actors in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire where characters from the book are specified as such. Rowling was hesitant to sell the rights because she "didn't want to give them control over the rest of the story" by selling the rights to the characters, which would have enabled Warner Bros. to make non-author-written…

    Dumbledor, Who Played It Better?

    Harry Potter has been around in the United States of America since 1998 (in the United Kingdom since 1997). This book was in very many homes and grew up with all of us 90’s kids. With Harry the brave one, Hermione the smart one, and Ron the ginger. Ron was also good with traps and tricks because well let’s be honest if you grow up with brothers like Fred and George you’re going to be pretty good at tricks and other fun things. Albus Dumbledore was the wise old teacher. He would be like an owl if you had to think about him as an animal. In the movies the actor Richard Harris was the Dumbledore in the first and second movie but the role was passed over to Michael Gambon for the rest of the films. The role was given the Gambon after Harris died on October 18, 2002. Michael Gambon was a good Dumbledore but Richard Harris was the better Dumbledore because Harris seemed to be more kind like the Dumbledore that we grew up with, he seemed to look like a wizard even outside the movie, and it seemed like Gambon took on the role of Harris playing Dumbledore and not Dumbledore.…
