Django Unchained.


.Django’s story is with the help of a German bounty hunter, he sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner. The main protagonists are Jamie Foxx who is married to Kerry Washington and is one of the black slaves free'd by Christopher Waltz who is a white male trying to free the black slaves from the slavery camp. Leonardo DiCaprio is the owner of the camp and lives a wealthy live in a mansion and his character along with his co- worker Samuel Jackson are very brutal physically and verbally. This shows their dominance over the slaves.

.Black people are represented as slaves and are made to look stupid, defenceless and evil. It is fair and honest as it has the typical feature of what the slaves are doing and how they are treated. Women are represented as the same as men if not worse. The reason there is a possibility they are treated worse is because of rape. White men are represented as good rich and sophisticated. They are shown as if they have dominance and ownership of black beings. I would say it isn't as easy as saying it is as easy as saying white people are bad and black people are good because in general black people are represented as good but every white man in this movie is represented as bad except for Dr. King Shultz as he is trying to free black men.

2 Fast 2 Furious

Genre: Action thriller.

Narrative: The storyline of this movie is clearly a bunch of young people take it to the streets of America and they race for respect, cars and money.

Character: The characters all have their own mind set and they don't all think the same as in some are wise and some are not wise. Bryan or as we know him Paul Walker is the main character with Tyrese and they both race for cars. Bryan is more of a wise clever character whereas Tyrese is the funny yet sometimes serious character. This creates humour in this movie.

Iconography: This film has so many of iconography for a RACE or ACTION type movie. In this movie we see plenty of fights and arguments and also police chases. This is proving my point in why I'm saying this is an action movie. 

Setting: The setting is in the streets of america where there are empty abandoned roads. But in  the main part(s) of the movie we see Bryan and Tyrese take off to a more richer wealthier sight. They go to a mansion where their rival is but Bryan somehow finds love there to the rivals wife.
Mr and Mrs Smith

Genre: Romantic Action thriller.

Narrative:
The storyline of this film is that a married couple are going against each other but then some how find love in their hate. They then come together and go against the police and S.W.A.T teams.

Character: The characters are good looking and are very wealthy. Brad Pitt is a strong,smart and wise man but very charming. Angelina Jolie is almost the same as Brad but she is a bit more wise and has a more sophisticated back-up whereas Brad has a guy who he gets weapon's from.

Iconography: There are a few of iconography of the romantic action thriller: There is plenty of shooting and kissing.Composedly jumping off a roof (maybe with one arm)

Setting: This is set in America and the main parts of the movie are in a big fashionable mansion which is where most of the action happens. Some of the main scenes are set in clear empty deserts or in  apartments.

 This shows us that these guys are dominant as the camera shows the subjects as one behind the other diagonally. This shot is a medium close up as you can't see their waists, just slightly but you can see there shoulders upwards. Also there is a chase about to happen and so it shows Tom Cruse's perspective and then these guys perspectives to show a threat or danger.
This shot shows a rusty old car in the middle of an ally way. Also you can just about see Tom in the background. This is a long shot because you see head to feet. Again this shot shows a chase about to go down and tom runs past whilst the camera pans horizontally.
This shows another medium close up of Tom and the reason they have used this is it shows the full emotional feelings of the main character. You could say he is thinking but you could also say that he knows he could be in danger as lots of his enemies suround him. But to point out he is the MAIN character he manages to find his way out.

The reason I chose this is because I thought the black and yellow batman would look really cool. With the help of my teacher I added a different batman picture and I used that to create the grey colours that I think stand out. As you can see the grapes are a mixture between black,yellow and grey. This,I think, gives it a nice look.

Summer project.

My summer project homework is going to be about a movie recently watched called Lucy
The reason why I chose this movie is because of course I recently watched it but another reason is because I found the way this movie flowed was really interesting and it all made sense to me.

The sub-genre of this movie is body horror which essentially is a differ to the human body which makes it act unusual or unnatural and that is another reason why this comes under the whole of Science fiction.
In this movie A girl called LUCY is with a man and they go into a place what happens to be a hotel she doesn't want to but he forces her to give a suitcase to a lady who is meant to sign people in. She has no option but to go in as the suitcase because it is tied to her wrist. She then enters a room with a man who seems to be the typical evil guy in the movie and so he sits her down and puts a gun to her head. I just want to point out that at this point she is really scared and she begs him not to harm her. The bad guys assistance bring in a line of scary -unusual unnatural- people and a guy seems to be bleeding and almost looks as if he is possessed screaming he is then killed. After a while she is suffocated and then put laid down on a bed. She then wakes up with stitches in her belly and a blue liquid contained in a plastic case. Later on that day she got in a fight with a man and he brutally assaulted her and kicked her in her belly right where the blue liquid was and it bursts in her belly. This made changes to her. She unlocked more and more percentage of her knowledge that shouldn't be normal and because of this she became immortal and then  she was able to change her facial and body features and if you remember i took a moment to say she was scared of being harmed well now she wasnt afraid of anything. As time went by she unlocked features to change her person as in change how she looks. Her brain could do  anything she could rewind time she could appear on your t.v screen at any time seen in the movie. But finally she got to 100% and at the end of the movie she morphs into a sort of black creature and then disappears. Then a guy asks where is she and he receives a message saying 'im everywhere' and on that note they end the movie.

This sets a dystopian future for this movie as she was good and who knows maybe because shes everywhere and everything she can do anything she wants which may effect earth.

Lucy Trailer

The producer is  EUROCORP and it was directed by Luc Besson
The cast: Scarlett Johansson,Morgan Freeman,Choi-Min-Sik,Amr Waked,Analeigh Tipton,Johan Phillip Asbaek,Mason Lee,Julian Rhind Tutt,Luca Angelleti,Loic Brabant.

This production was released in 2014 .

Richard Nelson runs the production.

Cite Du Cineman is another film produced by Europacorp.

They had a budget of $49 million euro's as they are a French production and they have over 3,172 theatres that opened in the U.S and that started off with $17 million euros and same goes for there box office.

Critics say that it is enthusiastic and silly. Also they say that the thrills are a bit cheesy! The film was not nominated for any awards.

I think that the target audience for this movie is 18+ as it does have its gory moments and also the gender is probably women because it is a solo women on a mission to save her self and also she dominates men characters. The people watching this should be clever as it has its moments of intelligence and there are moments where they speak about science things and that gets complicated. I'm not to sure about.
