Audio & visual analysis

This is a music video is different to a normal music video that would be made my youth in area that are thought to be gang related, for example in this video its has certain aspect of a gang or hood video such as the context that is being spoken.in this video the artist Dave that about what has happened within his life, girls, his friend and peoples attitude towards him. this is similar to other video within the hood because this is the same topic everyone talks about but  the way he has made it different is by mixing wisdom and the same topic that most people can relate to, to get his point across. The next point that make this video different is the location which was based in italy than normal places and the light used was filmed in the daytime where it was sunny than the evening.in conclusion this video shows that this individual artist has risen from the normal gangster look.

in this poster we can see it is advertising a action example of this would be the cool tone text which has red blood thats show that within the movie their will be danger and death. Also the dark and light colours shows good vs evil meaning that there will a antagonist and protagonist, The lady in the background represent the person that may be in danger and needs saving.

course work (printbase)

Print Base
 
I have decided to do  a print base which consists of a poster, a front and back DVD cover. I want to do this because I think it is where I can show my full potential, Also with the story I have for my coursework it is best I do a print base because the elements to are in my script can't be shown within a trailer , short clip or sequences. so after looking at about 12 different teen thriller posters has help increase my  decision to do a print base because the techniques used like large font photo the mysterious photo, background colour help create an image on how well I will do on my course work.

Ambulance Atrocious Attack 

Today in the middle east there was two attacks with the use of ambulances.one of these attack to places Tikrit and Samarra.

it was also reported that the so called islamic state had clamied they had done both attacks that took place today.it seemed that the attacks that happened were target at shia piligrims and some of the iranians in Tikrit.

in mosul there are government forces that continue to fight the islamic state group but there has beeen deadly street fights that have happened to slow them down. they are also fierce resistance and they push through the citys eastern and southern suburbs, also there are concerte baracades and rooftop sniper which are obstacles that are stoping the government forces.

i think that this is a unfortunate situation because there is actually no need for all these devastation also i think that the situation that is happening in  Iraq is definetly different because in the UK or even america the secruity is very tight so there is a lower chance for these attacks to be happening

my thriller research

In my research for my coursework I have looked at different type of formats which can help represent my teen thriller movie. The 5 different formats I researched were sequence, trailer, short film, DVD cover+ poster and magazine covers + 2 articles.this included me watching 5 thrillers trailers,sequences,short films and looked at 5 dvd cover + posters, magazines covers + 2 articles these help me gather some information what is should do for my work

1The first format I looked at was a sequence which is a series of different shots or frame that show a short scene of a movie. Sequences are used to portrait a small scene of the movie that is being shown it helps leave the audience/viewer intrigued with what goes on in the movie for example that small scene of the movie informers and show the viewer’s how the movie is going to be set out.

The next format was a trailer this a clip that promote an up and coming movie that will be features. Trailer a have an average length of 2minutes within these two minutes there are about 20+ blackouts, dark music that create tension, also dark scenes to help reflect the plot of the movie. in thriller there are distorted message that can warn the antagonist

Poster are another way that thrillers movies can be presented they often have light background with large size font to help show the name of the movie the light background often has helps to define the main characters there more then on main characters. The movie posters can hint bits of the movies. The posters that I have looked at have scene or object with reflect and gives idea that what the movie can be based on.

inside man character analysis

Dalton Russell(Clive Owen)

Is The leader of a bank heist that cunningly exacted. Dalton Russell character is shown to be smart serious,soft,patience and confidence. Dalton Russell was the one who organised the bank heist without error and he also got out of any problems throughout the movie in opinion he was seen to be the a protagonist because he didn't kill anyone throughout the movie he was only doing this because Christopher plummer  his ex-boss had be a traitor so he did what he think was right and robbed the bank.
 


Detective Keith Frazier

A New York City police detective with a scandal attached to his name who is desperate to make Detective First Grade. He is assigned to negotiate with the ringleader of a Manhattan bank heist.Detective Keith Frazier character is shown to be funny,smart,determined and ambitious. throughout the movie detective Frazier has been challenged and ends up to with a unsolved case but with the determination he has he end ups solving the case by taking it slow and looking for small details. detective Keith Frazier goal was to solve this case and take on a big challenge. in my opinion
dective keith frazier was shown to be a protagonist as he was trying to serve justic. 



 


Christopher plummer

The chairman of the board of directors and founder of the fictional Manhattan Trust bank. In response to the bank heist, Case hires White to prevent a possible career-ending situation. Christopher plummer character was shown to be weak evil and mysterious. Christopher plummer in some aspect was the cause of the bank heist as he had been a traitor towards the bank robbers.in my opinion christopher plummer is the antagonist as he was the cause of the bank heist and made a bad deal in the past with the Nazi to help build his empire.

 Todorovs theory
 Todorov's narrative theory suggests that all  narratives follow a three part structure where  they begin with equilibrium, where everything is  balanced, progress as something comes along to disrupt that equilibrium, and finally reach a resolution, when equilibrium is restored.

The different stage of a narrative

1. A state of equilibrium (All is as it should be.)

2. A disruption of that order by an event.

3. A recognition that the disorder has occurred.

4. An attempt to repair the damage of the disruption.

5. A return or restoration of a NEW equilibrium

                                              

  

This girl can vs Victoria secret model advert

The this girl can vs Victoria model secret model

The this girl can advert is to help promote and boost female confidence in my perspective this is done by show different shape,size and colour to say any female can do anything they want with out any restrictions or challenges. This advert is good because it helps show and breaks the streotypcial views of women in society of being skinny and fake where as the Victoria model secrets is advert that sublimaly lowering  girls confidence because it shows skinny women dressed in glamorous underwear on a beach with a boy band etc. If you analysis this advert it basically says to the viewer to wear this product you have to be slim like are models you see on tv, by saying this it cause some females to be less confident in them selves and to not appreciate them selves the way they are.overall i think that the this girl can is a advert that need to promoted more as it shows the equality and respect of women.

Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking your Juice in the Hood is a parody of several different american films which shows about being in the 'Hood, for instance Boyz n the Hood, South Central, Menace II Society, Higher Learning and Juice.in this movie  We follow Ashtray( shawn wayne)as he returns to the place he grew up in and meet his father and his basket-case friends.while having a Crazy adventures. For example, Ashtray is older than his father and his best friend Loc Dog's grandmother is a trigger-happy old lady who blames her eccentric-looking kid for not being tough 
enough. I think that this movie streotypes the young black society for example In this movie we see black women portraited to be loud, ignorant, annoying and with multiple children but this is not the case for all black female some of them are smart, educated, well mannered, but this movie doesn't just stereotype black females it also stereotype black male to be walking around with guns and drugs whilst all day drinking alcohol and doing silly things such as robberys and killing, which again doesn't always relate to all black males in a youth, because there are most pursuing their dream jobs and eduction which is not often shown in media films or shows. I think that this movie relate to media was the media present alot of stereotype across the world and this is not just for the black community it happens to different type of people in a community which i think needs to stop because this can help promote these community to be less superior than other which is not for as people need to be valued and cared for.
