Assignment 3: Existing product research

MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS - CAN'T HOLD US FEAT. RAY DALTON

Mis-en-scene: The mis-en-scene in this video has a variety of different features. For example, when the singer goes on the plane, it implies that he is going on a journey in order to spread the word of 'The Heist', which is Macklemore's album name. Furthermore, at 1:53, when the artist is in front of the camel, it shows that he is travelling around the world and going to exotic lands that imply he will stop at nothing until he succeeds his mission which is to be victorious and get people to know his name.

JEREMIH FEAT. 50 CENT- DOWN ON ME

Camera work- The camera work in this music video is mostly a worms eye view because it looks up at the artists which present their dominance as they are looking down on the camera lens. Also the video tends to pan around the artists as they are singing/ rapping which also shows the background with the funky lights and the pretty women. This shows that they are the dominance as they don't  walk around the camera, the camera walks around them.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE- MIRRORS

Mis-en-scene/ visual effects: The mis en scene in this video shows the history of a couple and the women as her older self looks back through pictures and messed up rooms to show how their relationship fluctuates. Also the visual effect show how the women as her older self looks back on how much has changed and then they first met and how the relationship began. 



KATY PERRY - LAST FRIDAY NIGHT

Narrative: The narrative in this video is about a nerdy female played by Katy Perry who is trying to study and concentrate but she is being disturbed by their neighbours who is having a crazy teenage party with a number of people from he school, she decides to go to the party and tell them to keep the music down but is drawn to the music and decides to stay. She then gets a complete makeover and then decides to join in on the fun and then starts to drink and get drunk and she finds love and wakes up the next morning to find the house in a complete wreck and her parents find out.  

MICHAEL JACKSON- SMOOTH CRIMINAL
Editing: The editing in this song is quite fluent as the song doesn't stop moving and it shows how much of an intense song it is. Furthermore the actors have very fluent movement and dancing which implies that they are tying to link with the song and make sure that it fits into the video.

Assignment 2: Film Case Study Research

Taken (2008)
I have chosen the film Taken. "Taken" is a 2008 French thriller film produced by Luc Besson, starring Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace and Famke Janssen. The screenplay was written by Besson and Robert Mark Kamen, and directed by Pierre Morel. Neeson plays a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operative who sets about tracking down his daughter after she is kidnapped by human traffickers while travelling in France.

• The distributor from the UK is by 20th Century Fox 

No brand loyalty
1) The genre of the film is a Action adventure thriller.

It’s a social thing
1) Many people spoke about it because

2) Find three quotes (no more than 25 words each) from user reviews of your movie to create a picture of what the public reaction to the film has been. Post them on your blog.



Risky business
Use IMDB to find out the box office records for your chosen film. Find your film, click on Company Credits and then Box Office/Business. You may want to use the excellent website Box Office Mojoto find out the budget and box office success for the film.

1) What was the original budget for your chosen film?

2) How much money did the film make in the opening weekend?

3) How much money has the film made in total? (Look for the subheading ‘Gross’ which has the total box-office earnings listed).

4) For a film to be considered a box office success, it needs to make at least two-and-a-half timesthe budget in box office takings. Using this method, was the film you have chosen a success? (Or, if it's a recent release, do you expect it to be a box office success?)



Stars in their eyes

Take it further...

If you've finished the questions above, work through the following tasks to take your case study to another level:

Newspaper reviews
A more traditional starting point for word-of-mouth is press reviews of the film. Almost all national newspapers carry film reviews of the big releases and positive review quotes are often used on the film's marketing material.

Read three newspaper reviews of your chosen film and select five quotes from each review that tell you what the reviewer thought of the film. You can look at the Guardian film website, theTelegraph film website and other reviews in magazines such as Empire.



Additional promotion
Look back 'It's all a matter of timing' question 3... What other examples of promotion can you find for your chosen film? TV chat show appearances (e.g. Graham Norton, the One Show etc.) Radio interviews? Make notes and embed any clips in your blog. 

Narrative Theory

The Wolf Of Wall Street

The conventions of Todorov's theory is that it has an equilibrium  when he starts his new job and starts to make millions of dollars by using The basic method of the firm is a pump and dump scam. To cloak this, Belfort gives the firm the respectable name of "Stratton Oakmont". After an exposé in Forbes, hundreds of ambitious young financiers flock to his company. The movie has a disequilibrium when the protagonist Jordan Belfort starts to use his money for bad used like drugs and prostitutes. The movie then receives a new equilibrium when Belfort turns his life around and starts makes a living hosting seminars on sales technique.

Also, the conventions of Propps theory was very complicated as many of the characters are evil. But the the main protagonist is Leonardo DiCaprio because he starts his business and makes millions. the Heroine is Margot Robbie because she is the woman that DiCaprio marries.  The father of the movie is Matthew McConaughey because he guides DiCaprio to his business. The helper of the film is Jonah Hill because he works with DiCaprio in order to make history. The donor of the film Jon Bernthal because he provides ideas like moving his money to a different country.

For Barthes theory in this film contains the Enigma code makes us think that he could do with millions of dollars and we also think that if he gets caught by the FBI because he has done so much illegal felonies. The Action codes in this film suggests that he meets this new women in who he marries and has a daughter. It also suggests that Belfort will get arrested because this movie is based in real events so we know that he will get arrested. And the FBI never fail to capture their target and Belfort is at the top of the list

Representation Analysis

The Wolf Of Wall Street

The Wolf of Wall Street represents Americans Businesses in the 1980's as corrupt and busy. This is because it’s about a company that abuses their use of money to live their life illegally by taking drugs and the FBI try to gather as much evidence to prove he is guilty but he is clever enough to erase that he was involved in almost all crime taking place in their city. Also the film is very sexist as they use many female actors and are used as "hookers" and prostitutes which introduce a lot of explicit content. This could imply that they referred to women as "objects" back in the 1980's, This is inappropriate because is it true that everyone is equal as women are referred as "objects" is very sexist and stereotypical. This movie also represents the 1980's as crooked and shady because the movies contains a lot of drugs and explicit content which could influence young teenagers that this is what America used to look like. This movie also does not consist of a lot of black people because in the 1980's there was a lot of racism. This represents that during this period, Americans were very biased and racist. This also gives the American Dream a bad name because it goes against everything the American Dream goes for. This is because it represents the stereotypical fact that Americans are lazy and greedy.

User Reviews

By far the Best Movie of the Year, Best Actor, Best Director! The whole supporting cast is excellent as well. This movie will not disappoint it was much better than I expected and the duration of the movie is not felt at all. It definitely did not feel like a 3 hour production. Scorsese put this movie together brilliantly! You are on your toes and engaged throughout from beginning to end. Leonardo DiCaprio is at his best! He will take you through the highs and lows of the movie with an Oscar Winning Performance. I read about Jordan Beaufort and it appears that Scorsese and DiCaprio made this movie as accurate as possible which I really appreciate. I commend Scorsese and DiCaprio for keeping this epic picture as authentic as possible. After all this is Hollywood.

Camerawork: Minority Report shot-by-shot analysis

Wide Shot: In this shot, the image of the protagonist (Tom Cruise) is trying to run away from the pursuers. We see this image of the car which looks worn-out and wrecked and it has been abandoned. this shows that it possibly has something to do with a fight scene that can potentially happen. There is also enough background to show that this is an alley way so it shows that it will be a narrow fight as alley ways are normally narrow so there is little space to run away so the protagonist will be forced to fight.  

Medium Close Up: In this image we see the protagonists pursuers which appear to be dressed in a special futuristic suit which can imply that they are ready for a fight. Also it shows enough background to show that there are more than one pursuer which can highlight the fact that the protagonist is desperately needed to be captured alive or left for dead.  





Close Up: In this image we see that the protagonist is captured and his facial expression can show that he is nervous about what is about to happen. This could show that he has to quickly react to what he can do. We needn't to see any background as he is trying to quickly think

GCSE Media Key Concepts

Language
We know it is a Science-Fiction poster because the Title, the release date and the tag-line shows how that Earth has been destroyed for a very long time. also the font shows how the world has become destroyed and it is now a wasteland, which shows the science-fictional genre of the film.

Institution
The movie was made by RatPac-Dune Entertainment as they are owned by Warner Brothers who are known for amazing films like Dawn of the Planet of the Apes which are both post-apocalyptic science fiction films. The movie was directed by George Miller and produced by Doug Mitchell

Audience 
The target audience is mostly targeted at older male teenagers that are very fond of post-apocalyptic adventure. Also this film can be targeted towards older males as well because this film is a remake of another Mad Max that was made in 1979 with Mel Gibson and it was favoured by many teenagers back in the day and they would love to watch a remake that came out recently due to new ages of technology. Also the movie contains a lot of fighting and action that many teens and young adults would enjoy.

Representation
The focal picture shows a man looking into the distance where it shows many bad guys coming to kill him so he's on the run to get away from them in his cool muscle car. This shows that the movie can be targeted to petrol-heads and for people who loves action. Also there are no women in this poster so women may look away from a film like this as there are no women.

A Beautiful Space Fantasy

31 July 2014 | by alan_holloway_2 (England) – See all my reviews

It's no surprise that when Marvel's latest movie was released many, many people (the non comics reading kind, mainly) said "Who?" The comic itself has never been what you call top tier, with various incarnations having been around for decades, although the film is based on the team created by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning in 2008, now being serviced by top writer Brian Bendis.

Marvel certainly have made sure the Guardians have plenty of publicity, turning a bunch of also rans into a must see event and even having the confidence to proclaim "The Guardians Of The Galaxy Will Return" at the end of the movie. This is a company with the utmost confidence in their product, and after seeing it it's very easy to understand why.

First and foremost, Guardians... is fun. After a truly heartbreaking beginning everything goes a bit daft, mixing swashbuckling sci fi action with larger than life characters, and whilst at first you may be a little puzzled, it all streamlines into a simple plot soon enough. Basically, Guardians leader Peter Quill (known mainly to only himself as Star Lord) has a plot device, and other people also want the plot device. He forms an alliance with a very disparate bunch of people who each have their own reason for helping him. To go into more detail really isn't that necessary, as all it will involve is laying out a roster of names and personal grievances, and you'll get all that when you watch the film, because if you're reading this review I will lay odds you're going to see it.

The movie looks beautiful throughout, probably thanks to the thousand or so "Digital Artists" who take up a large part of the end credits. Ship design is fantastic, with many looking like they were pulled direct from a Chris Foss art book, and if you know Foss you'll know this is a high compliment. Yeah, the bad guys have dull, dark vessels with inadequate lighting (surely evil needs to see as well?) but the good guys have some sexy vessels indeed. Sound wise, it may seem odd that a 2014 state of the art sci fi movie will have a 1970's chart soundtrack, but the inclusion of The Runaways, Rupert Holmes and, of course, Blue Swede's "Hooked On A Feeling" is completely explained and rather poignant. It would be nice, too, if kids start downloading some of this awesome old stuff and finally start listening to real music (so speaks an old fart).

So in a nutshell this is a very good movie. It's packed with fun and enjoyable characters, but also has it's fair share of down beats and dead beats. Top honours are fought out for between Chris Pratt, excellent and ridiculously likable as Peter Quill, and the brilliant Rocket Raccoon, a purely CGI character stuffed with attitude and some great one liners. The other main characters all do well, however, with even big bag Ronan (no, not the Boyzone one, mores the pity) being well served and very well played with menace aforethought by Lee Pace.

One thing people want to know about Marvel films is what's the after credits scene like? Well, without being spoilery, I'll say two things: one, it's NOT a big reveal or anything like that, but two, it's really funny if you have a knowledge of a certain old Marvel character. Oh yeah, and you get to play everyone's favourite game in the movie - 'Spot Stan Lee'. It just wouldn't be the same without him mugging it up somewhere.

In closing, "Guardians Of The Galaxy" is right up there with the rest of Marvel's cinematic output, making a clear mark by being totally different to anything else we've so far seen. It's Fun with a capital 'F', and engaging throughout. Some of the violence may be a bit much for smaller kids, and there's a bit of moderately fruity language (is 'dick' fruity still? I fall behind sometimes). That said, kids who don't mind a walking tree impaling people or a raccoon murderising people with a kick ass gun will have a blast. Big, beautiful and bad ass, "Guardians Of The Galaxy" is definitely the feel good fantasy of 2014, as evidenced by the grin still stuck to my face. All together now... "I'm hooked on a feeling..."

A sprawling space opera full of humor and action.

I remember sitting in Hall H at Comic-Con two years ago, when Marvel first announced Guardians of the Galaxy. This came on the heels of the title reveals for Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Thor: The Dark World, and my initial reaction was one of utter confusion. What the hell was Guardians of the Galaxy? I was completely unfamiliar with the source material, and upon learning that the team featured a gun-wielding raccoon and a fighting tree creature whose could only speak a single phrase, I was even more puzzled.

Fast forward to Comic-Con 2013, when James Gunn appeared onstage in Hall H to showcase the first trailer for the film. It was so unlike anything Marvel had ever done before, so far outside the box that I immediately fell in love with it and couldn't wait to see more. Although that first trailer was well-received by the Comic-Con audience, the general public seemed to be scratching their heads in much the same way that I had when the film was first announced. Marvel fans would love this, no doubt, but could this bizarre little sci-fi romp with a cast of unknown characters actually work?

The answer is a resounding "yes," as Guardians of the Galaxy is not only an exceptionally well-made comic-book film, but an exceptionally well- made film, period. It's a sprawling space opera with a host of memorable characters, a joyous sci-fi romp through beautifully realized worlds, wildly inventive action sequences, and an almost nonstop barrage of humor and fun. The protagonists are a bizarre assembly of losers and misfits, with the CG-created Rocket and Groot providing some of the most emotional and human moments of the film, and it's all brilliant. Marvel should be applauded for allowing Gunn the opportunity to realize his vision, because rest assured, this film wouldn't have been nearly as good with someone else at the helm.

Guardians of the Galaxy has a distinct personality that sets it apart from other Marvel offerings, yet there are enough recognizable elements to remind audiences that it exists in the same world. Clocking in at just under two hours, the film maintains an impressively well-balanced pace, avoiding the problem of over-inflation that many superhero films fall victim to. I can't think of a single moment when I wasn't completely enthralled with everything that happens on screen, and as soon as the credits began to roll I was ready to watch it all over again.

I was smiling almost all the way through

Expectations: surpassed - and they were pretty damn high to begin with.

Excitement: met - after watching the teasers, the clips, and after Captain America the Winter soldier I was crossing my fingers Marvel were on a roll.

Face: still trying to recover - you know when you go to the cinema to see a comedy ( a film designed to make you laugh ) and you feel like an idiot for paying for the ticket as you were forcing most of the laughter in the company of your friends? This is a film that it's genuinely easy to laugh about:

The humour is so subtle because the characters are so subtle - they're not too animated, they're not too stereotypical and they are NOT what we've come to expect from traditional superheroes and THAT'S WHY THIS FILM WORKS SO WELL! Regardless if you're a Marvel fan or simply a fan of movies in general this is an experience you will welcome as it's new and refreshing to a sci-fi genre which really needed something new and refreshing and with great performances, stunning visuals and a barrel of laughs mixed with the right amount of action this was a real treat to watch.

Thank you Marvel Studios.
