Executive Summary

Snow Brand Milk Products Co Ltd (SBM), originally founded in 1925, is one of the largest dairy companies in Japan. The original mission of the company was to provide assistance to dairy farmers in Hokkaido to become independent operators after suffering from the 1921 earthquake. The founding motto of the Hokkaido cooperative, ‘Healthy Earth and Healthy People’ depicted the founding vision. The company’s logo of ‘a crystal mark’ symbolizes being the Polar Star of the dairy operation in Hokkaido. One of the founders of Snow Brand, Torizo Korosawa, emphasized the ‘spirit of establishment’ as the base of the corporate philosophy of the company, knowing very well that milk has had a special status in the Japanese culture and product market. The company was officially established in 1950 and had been a major dairy product provider competing with other major competitors including Meiji Dairies Corporation

    There are many different stylistic tools that directors may use in the production of creating good quality motion pictures. In my analysis of Snowpiercer, I will examine the key stylistic tools used in the filming process of this movie and how they contribute to the plot of this fictional film that contains a philosophical message about our present day society. In Looking at Movies, authors Richard Barsam and Dave Monahan define cinematography as the procedure of capturing moving images in order to create a kinetic shot.

    In order to understand some of the things that will be discussed in this paper, one must first know a few things about snowboarding. For those of you who live under a rock, snowboarding is a sport in which a rider straps a board to his or her feet and then slides/glides down a mountain, hill, slope, or basically anything that has an incline.

The bindings are connected to the board with screws that are short enough not to penetrate the bottom of the board, but long enough to be sturdy. The rider must wear snowboarding boots, which tend to be fairly thick and padded, in order to keep their feet warm. In order for the board to be attached to the rider’s…

Some people quickly started picking up on the idea and two men named Tom Sims and Dimitrije Milovich who created Sims Snowboards (1976), and Winterstick (1972) started coming out with their own designs and input on the sport.
