Film and TV Language Homework


Blade Runner
E:\My docs\My Pictures\Film Stills\2334.jpg


The film poster suggests that the film might be about villains vs heroes, as the male character is holding a gun which implies he needs to protect himself or someone, further implying he is the main character in the film. The tag line used also suggests that the main character needs to protect himself  from something evil and needs to defeat it.  The female character looks quite wicked by her deadpan facial expression as well as her dark hair. In addition to this, the cigarette she is holding suggests that she might be the 'femme fatale' as it gives her a sense of evilness, however her appearance also creates a sense of  seductiveness which makes her alluring. Therefore she might be the main villain that main character falls in love with but also has to defeat.
The story line of the film might be that the main character is a scientist or an engineer that creates advanced robots but the villain attempts to steal the robots in order to make the robots evil to destroy the world. The iconography used in the film, such as the futuristic buildings, light,and the main character suggests the genre of the film is sci-fi and perhaps thriller because of the gun.The target audience will be sci-fi and thriller fans as well as young people ranging from teens to young adults. Thriller is generally know for appealing towards males so perhaps this films target audience is males.

Scary Movie 2

E:\My docs\My Pictures\Film Stills\996247.jpgThe film poster suggests that the film is a horror/comedy with a scary villain attacking the characters as the three characters in the poster have are either wearing masks or their facial expressions as well as props imply they are the villains. The story line might be that the villains are attacking/haunting the other characters leading to their inevitable deaths as the main character attempts to stop the villains. The genre of the film is horror/comedy because the quote "absolutely hilarious" obviously infers that there are comedic moments in the film as well as the pastiche used in the poster. The references on the two female characters tops are used to mock the original films they are from in a comedic way as  the reference of 'what lies beneath' is from a movie but here it is used to hint at whats under the characters clothes. Also, the other reference 'i love dead people' is used to mock the movie The sixth sense but here it is used as a parody and to make the character seem dumb.The target audience is probably young adults over the age of 18 as it seems that the film might be inappropriate as well as it being a horror movie so their must be an age limit.

  Statement of intent : draft 3 I will make a  2-3 minute music video  with an accompanying  music magazine . The song i have chosen to do is called 'I'm not racist' by Joyner Lucas, the  genre  of the song is  rap/ hip-hop.  I plan on adopting some of the features of the original music video such as the  cinematography  used. I have chosen this genre because it initially gave audiences an insight into the lives of young, black, urban people and also gave them a voice.  Tricia Rose  has criticised commercial hip hop and suggests black culture has been appropriated and exploited by capitalism. I aim to use the genre of hip hop for what it used to be about and shed light on politics, race and history.  I will include  Todorov's theory of equilibrium  ,in the beginning both men have an existing state where they hold prejudice against each other and have suppressed feelings. The  disequilibrium  will b...

Music Video: Common- Letter to the Free

-
Social and cultural context 1) What other projects has Common been involved in over recent years? Common and John Legend wrote  Glory  as the soundtrack for  Selma. 2)  What is the 13th Amendment of the American Constitution? The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. 3) What were the Black Codes? Black codes were restrictive laws designed to limit the freedom of African Americans and ensure their availability as a cheap labor force after slavery was abolished during the Civil War. 4) Why do people suggest that the legacy of slavery is still a crucial aspect to American culture 150 years after it was abolished by the 13th Amendment? Slavery is still a crucial part of American culture as the 13th Amendment has a loophole in it when it says slavery will be abolished 'except as punishment for crime'. This created more problems in the prison system and prison rates...
