D. Kohl Glass and Professor Stan Ferguson, Theater and Media Arts The Promethean, a modern retelling of the Greek myth Prometheus, was completed in March of 2003. Since that time, it has won the Audience Choice Award at Brigham Young University’s Final Cut Student Film Showcase, as well as the awards for Outstanding Narrative, Outstanding Editing, […]

Film Classification Systems as Indicators of Cultural Values: An Exploratory Cross-National Study
Marin Turley Bradshaw and Professor Eliza Tanner Hawkins, Communications Virtually every country has developed some kind of a film classification system. In the United States the classification system is more commonly known as a film’s “rating.” The purposes of the classification are (1) to protect vulnerable audiences, especially young children and (2) to allow film makers […]
Filming in the Land of Fire and Ice: Iceland as the Next Hotspot for Independent Filmmaking
Meredith A. Bak and Dr. Dean Duncan, Theatre and Media Arts Each year, film school graduates face the difficult challenge of finding employment in the professional world. Though the dominant Hollywood model of production offers some opportunities for those entering the workforce, such opportunities are becoming increasingly limited. However, numerous less established production centers exist […]
Reproducible, Low-temperature Growth of Nanocrystals in an Amorphous Silicon Film
Spencer Kellis and Dr. Aaron Hawkins, Electrical and Computer Engineering During Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) crystal growth, an electric field between two charged plates dissociates a gas into a cloud of positive and negative ions called a plasma. The silicon ions descend to the silicon wafer and bond to the surface. Temperature is controlled […]
Understanding the Absorption Edge Energy Shift of Thorium Dioxide, Uranium Oxide, and Uranium Nitride in the EUV *Or* Optical Applications of Uranium Thin-Film Compounds For the Extreme Ultraviolet and Soft X-ray Region
Richard L. Sandberg and Dr. David D. Allred, Department of Physics and Astronomy Recently, the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft x-ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum (between about 1 and 100 nm in wavelength or 20 eV to 5 keV photon energy) has become increasingly important in technological applications. The next generation of optical technologies […]
Cultural Traditions and Public Policy: The National Film Board of Canada’s Aboriginal Filmmaking Program
Meredith A. Bak and Dr. Dean Duncan, Theatre and Media Arts My project consisted of an in depth analysis of the National Film Board of Canada’s Aboriginal Filmmaking Program, to lead to the eventual publication of a feature-length article presenting the program as a model by which media literacy can be taught by exploring the […]
Detecting the L10 Phase in Iron Platinum Thin Films by Electron Diffraction
Daniel Richardson and Dr. Richard Vanfleet, Physics and Astronomy Iron platinum is an exciting material being studied for its magnetic properties for possible use as the material in magnetic memory storage (e.g. hard drive). Why use iron platinum? In today’s technological world of ever decreasing dimensions, the hunt is on for mechanisms and materials that […]
DETERMINING OPTICAL CONSTANTS FOR ThO2 THIN FILMS SPUTTERED UNDER DIFFERENT BIAS VOLTAGES FROM 1.2 TO 6.5 eV BY SPECTROSCOPIC ELLIPSOMETRY
William Ray Evans and Dr. David Allred, Department of Physics and Astronomy The Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV), that portion of the spectrum with photon energies of ~30 to ~300 eV is a scientifically interesting part of the spectrum for many reasons. First of all, there are many applications for EUV optics. The desire to continue “Moore’s […]
Heimatfilme 1945-55: Austrian Identity Reconstructed through the Alpine Image
Shane D. Peterson and Dr. James K. Lyon, Germanic & Slavic Languages Approximately one-third of Austrian cinema during the mid-1950s was composed of the genre of Heimatfilme (Homeland films) which depicted country landscapes, especially the alpine terrain, in a mythical and nostalgic light. Though often dismissed as trivial and therefore largely unexamined on their own […]
找 老 家: Documentary Filmmaking and the Search for Chinese Heritage
Gloria Jean Gong and Dr. Matthew Christensen, Asian and Near Eastern Languages Due to systematic gender discrimination and the “one-child” policy, the overwhelming majority of Chinese orphans adopted by American families are female. Families choose different ways of familiarizing their adopted daughters with “Chinese culture” and making them aware of their “Chinese heritage.” As a […]
