21 When the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming along the road to Atharim, he attacked the Israelites and captured some of them. 2 Then Israel made this vow to the Lord: If you will deliver these people into our hands, we will totally destroy[a] their cities. 3 The Lord listened to Israels plea and gave the Canaanites over to them. They completely destroyed them and their towns; so the place was named Hormah.[b]
The Bronze Snake
4 They traveled from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea,[c] to go around Edom. But the people grew impatient on the way; 5 they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread! There is no water! And we detest this miserable food!
6 Then the Lord sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died. 7 The people came to Moses and said, We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us. So Moses prayed for the people.
8 The Lord said to Moses, Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live. 9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived

Choose a shot in Fight Club and, first define the chosen shot technique and then explain how this particular shot achieves what it most probably sets out to achieve in terms of ideological positioning (conscious or unconscious) and the effect it has on the viewer’s affective responses.

Watch this short youtube video about shots in films to help you answer the following questions:

Now watch this movie Fight Club, here is a link to watch it for free:

Details about shot: What is a shot?
A SHOT IS NOT A SCENE!

Choose and focus on ONE shot in the movie and analyze it. Definition of a “shot”:

a shot is a series of frames , that runs for an uninterrupted period of time.[1] Film shots are an essential aspect of a movie where angles, transitions and cuts are used to further express emotion, ideas and movement. The term “shot” can refer to two different parts of the filmmaking process:

In production, a shot is the moment that the camera starts rolling until the moment it stops.
In film editing , a shot is the continuous footage or sequence between two edits or cuts.

Below I uploaded an example of how to write a shot analysis but that essay is focused on mise-en-scene, cinematography, sound, and editing. While this essay has to focus on define the chosen shot technique and then explain how this particular shot achieves what it most probably sets out to achieve in terms of ideological positioning (conscious or unconscious) and the effect it has on the viewer’s affective responses.
Don’t use mise-en-scene, cinematography, sound, and editing for this essay, that’s just an example.

assignment 5

Consider the following:
You serve as the energy champion for a large care facility in Calgary, AB. You received a $200,000 grant from the federal government to reduce the greenhouse gas footprint of the building.
The electricity you purchase from a local utility has a greenhouse gas intensity of 820 g CO2e per kWh of electricity. You are charged $0.09/kWh for consumption and $4/kW-month for demand.
The natural gas you purchase has a greenhouse gas intensity of 56 kg CO2e per GJ. You are charged $5/GJ for natural gas.
An energy assessment was done on your hospital which identified the following energy efficiency projects:
A LED lighting project can reduce annual electric consumption by 800,000 kWh and reduce peak demand by 46kW for a cost of $250,000. The lighting is expected to last 15 years.
A project to install variable speed drives on fans and pumps around the hospital can reduce annual electric consumption by 1,000,000 kWh, without reducing peak demand and save 1,000 GJ of natural gas annually for $400,000. The variable speed drives and motors are expected to last 15 years.
A project to upgrades burners on the hospital boilers and install pipe insulation can reduce annual natural gas consumption by 5,000 GJ for $100,000. The boiler burner controls are expected to last 15 years.
In addition to the energy efficiency opportunities, you received a quote to install solar panels on the roof of your building.
The cost of the solar panels is $5/W.
For every watt of solar installed, 2.6 kWh of electricity can be generated annually and demand can be reduced by 0.6W.
The solar panels are expected to last 30 years.
Based on this, respond to the following in a single, APA formatted, MS Word document:
Question 1:
For each of the following, calculate the total project cost (dont forget to consider the grant), simple payback period, annual cost savings, greenhouse gas reduced and the cost per lifetime kg reduced. Create a table to show your results.
Install a 100 kW solar panel
Install all energy efficiency projects
Install all energy efficiency projects and a 30 kW solar panel
Question 2:
How would you prioritize the three energy efficiency projects and the 100 kW solar project to maximize your investment cost savings? What would change if the key driver was lowest cost per lifetime kg CO2e reduced?
Question 3:
Assume there is a strong corporate desire to install building-scale renewables to supply the majority of electricity utilized by the building and import excess power to the grid. How you recommend minimizing the cost of installing an appropriate building-scale renewable system to supply the majority of electricity utilized by the building?
When you submit your assignment, please attach a copy of your calculations or MS Excel spreadsheet.
