Essay on An Evaluation of Grease
An Evaluation of Grease
My film that I choose was Grease because it contains music, dancing and humor. It is a cross between comedy and teen movies. It is a tribute to
the Broadway show of the 1950's. It was directed by Randal Klieser and was released on July 7th 1978. The music and dance scenes are what attracted
me to Grease. My favorite characters are John Travolta and Jeff Conaway who play Danny and Kenickie. I like these two because they are your typical
high school popular boys who are always looking out for each other, looking good and they are always trying to get the beautiful girls but at the same
time acting cool like it doesn't bother them. I had high expectations of Grease and I...show more content...
Secondly genre is the French word meaning type. Genres may be approached by way of various critical avenues. In the Aristotelian strain we
recognize genres as kinds within a system of classification. These categories beg further definition, so there is a history of, on the one hand, the
refinement of divisions and subdivisions, and on the other a Platonic search for the 'essential' qualities of tragedy, comedy, epic poetry, and so forth. By
the recognition of genres we begin to find our way in the universe of verbal artifacts with their feigned discourses, and to train our expectations upon
the experience that lies in wait for us. Grease's genre is a hybrid genre because it is a cross between a comedy, a teen movie and romantic.
Lastly representation is the act of representing or the state of being represented. Also it is something that represents an image, an account or statement,
an expostulation or a presentation or production. For example the representation of the characters in Grease varies. Sandy is portrayed as a pure and
innocent girl but on the other hand Rizzo is portrayed as a bad girl who is always getting into trouble and won't take anything from no one. Also Rizzo
is sometimes mean to Sandy

The Importance Of Film Evaluation
The evaluation of a film assigns some form of value to a film and the experience you encountered while watching the film. Evaluation can imply the
criteria and standards that you can argue about to place value on a film. Thus, giving people a reason to question a film to develop reasons, make such
standards are met and to understand the film. These standards can stem from the classical evaluation and pluralisticā€“category method which has given
viewers a blueprint of how you should properly evaluate a film. There are certain ways that you can go about judging a films effectiveness. For
instance, the classical evaluation method imposes the use of cinematicity within three concepts that all films should have. Like medium specificity,
cinematicity allows film to distinguish itself from theatre with the use of closeā€“ups, camera movement, etc.; thus, creates a universal structure for
critics to judge a film. This is based on the creative style of the director and how much the viewers admire the way the has stuck with its cinematicity.
However, the pluralisticā€“category does not base its evaluation on style and opinion. In all, these types of evaluations are used in different ways which
will be further explained throughout this essay.
According to the classical theorist, there should be a display of visual representation which the solvet montagists, realists and the Perkins theory ā€“
which was founded by Victor Perkins book, Film as Film. The solvet montagist concepts

To Kill A Mockingbird Movie Evaluation
The 1962 drama, To Kill a Mockingbird, stars Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch and Mary badham as Scout and was directed by Robert Mulligan. The
screenplay was written by Horton Foote and was based off of the book by Harper Lee. This film was nominated for many awards and won many too,
including Academy Awards for Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Art Direction. It also won Golden Globes for Best Actor, Best Original
Score, and Best Film Promoting International Understanding. To Kill a Mockingbird is set in a small town in Alabama in the 1930's and follows the
life of a young girl, Scout, and her father and brother for three years. Scout and Jem's father Atticus is asked to defend a black man in a case where he

I like that the story is told from the innocent perspective of a six year old. For the most part, this film is pretty historically accurate, but some is a
little exaggerated for the sake of the story. In real life, Atticus probably wouldn't have defended a black man in that time period, to protect himself
and his children. Going against the word of a white woman would definitely get him more hate than he received in the film. But, most of the film
was accurate to the time and definitely furthered my understanding of this time period. It is hard to realize how racist and sexirt people used to be,
and it wasn't a big deal because everyone was. Obviously, nowadays our society in very politically correct so it is hard to imagine what it was like.
I think one of the overall strengths of this movie is the casting, all of the actors are perfect for their roles and really bring the characters to life.
Since I read the book before the movie, I also really appreciate that the movie stays true to the book and doesn't change too much. I think the only
weakness is that the story isn't always explained very well. Everything that happens with Boo Radley and the kids is a little bit random and isn't
described as well in the movie as it is in the book. But, overall I really enjoy this movie and would definitely recommend

Through writing my pitch, I've learnt several things about the film industry. I've realised that a pitch is the very first thing we need to do before
proceeding to any preproduction or production tasks and that the purpose of a pitch is to attract development finance to pay for the production of the
film. Therefore, a pitch should be marketable and interesting. As pitching is commonly known as "selling the film", there are several things I need to
consider in my pitch so that it can attract the investors and they would greenā€“light the project. Some of them include the names of actors and actresses
to create star power, a brief plot synopsis, budgeting values, genre and the target audience. I've also included a similar film to give a...show more

The strapline "there's more you need to know" creates a sense of mysterious and curiosity in the readers. The strapline is coloured in black colour
and black signifies mysteriousness and seriousness. For the title, I've used the font 'Minion Pro' as it is more unisex yet not so common so that it
would be more appealing to older audience unlike the font 'Curlz MT' used in many girly or teen magazines.
Posters play a very important role in the film industry. Through the production work, which required me to design and create at least three posters
featuring my film, I've learned that the posters are one of the things needed to make a film successful. This is because they promote the film before it
is released and also when the film is shown in cinemas. Most importantly, a film needs a good promotion in order to be successful. There are three
types of posters: lobby cards, teaser posters and character posters. Lobby cards are like posters but they are smaller and collectible. However, they are
soon replaced by teaser posters and character posters. A teaser poster is an early promotional movie poster, containing only a basic image or design
without revealing too much information such as the plot, theme, and characters. They are often used to create sense of suspense and hype in the
audience. In contrast, the character poster features an individual character from the film and usually it contains the name of the actor/actress,

My dad and I are both huge movie nerds. We both love watching them and talking about them. Although we like some similar and some different types
of movies, we like to watch and discuss them together.
I look for many different things when I watch a movie. The Biggest thing I look for is plot. I want the plot to make sense and to flow well. I hate
when movies have a lot of unexplained plot holes, it makes the movie hard to watch. I think the best movies have well thought out plots. The plot

Another thing I look for in movies is actors who are good at acting. In my opinion, I believe that a bad actor can ruin the whole movie. Sometimes it can

Film as the Most Important Art Form of the Twentieth Century
The use of film and its explorations have progressed steadily since the 1800's and as our title suggests, it has become an important art form and a
huge influence on society today. Influencing the way we live, the way we speak, the way we act and more. There isn't an art form closer to
representing 'reality'; this is why film has such an affect on all of us!
The first 'image of motion' created was in 1873 when Eadweard Muybridge, an English photographer used a series of cameras placed along a
racetrack to capture the movement of a galloping horse. Muybridge then moved a step closer to the existence of film when he invented The...show more

As these camera's can offer what is considered as 'advanced' today, the many film directors now take full advantage and a modern film is often based
around its use and level of special effects and stunts. These directors are given the opportunity to take everyday life activities and add to them in the
most exciting or surreal ways possible! As viewers, we can relate to these scenes but the additional, experimental effects cause our minds to expand and
think into more depth about our daily experiences. This is how film today in the Twentieth Century can be argued to be the most important art form.
No matter how it is done, art has always represented something or someone from our lives today, in the past or even in the future. Paintings and
photography for example portray still image, whereas film and theatre works through conveying image, sound and movement! It could be argued
that therefore theatre can be just as important as film, though theatre arts cannot be multiplied and spread worldwide as efficiently as film, film has
a greater effect on a wider and less precise audience as it can be viewed by anyone in the world at any time providing it has the right support, funding
and facilities! I am sure that more people can relate to film than any other art form as it is usually a

Why Comedy Movies Are So Great Essay
There are many forms of expression inside of everybody; however the most common form is laughter. The sound of laughter can be heard all around
the worlds every second, it helps us relieve stress and makes us feel better about ourselves. Comedy movies play such an important role in helping us
laugh. There are many forms of movies out there today. In spite of the recent incline in action and horror movies today,comedy movies has always
been my number one choice because it gives people an opportunity to look at humor in life, it usually has a pointless, useless moral that we can relate
to, and it allows you to look at things in a new light and possibly expand your horizon to become a more optimistic person....show more content...
Many of the morals in a comedy movie can relate to us; however, it usually is a moral that is just useless facts that we don't need in our daily life.
In the movie, Me, Myself, and Irene is an example of a moral that we can relate to but really don't need. In the beginning of the movie the character
has found the love of his life, they get married and live a happy life until his wife finds another guy and they get divorced. At the end of the movie
the main character finds another girl he really likes and was going to let her walk out of his life, until he realizes he is not going to be happy without
her and stops her from leaving. The moral in the movie was that you shouldn't let a loved one go by without telling that person your feelings. We can
relate to this but it wont be of value in our daily life.
Comedy movies can educate us and make us change into a different person as well. It allows us to look at things in a new light and possibly expand
your horizon to become a more optimistic person. The term optimistic means a person who has a positive outlook in life. Not many comedies has this
characteristic in their movies; however, one movie that does is Dumb and dumber. Both the characters were stupid, so they took something a person
would say and take it very literally.

MPAA Rating System Essay examples
In 1968 Jack Valenti, the president of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), established the Classification and Ratings Administration
(CARA) in an effort to reduce the amount of objectionable material in film. Before 1968, the MPAA required that all films follow the guidelines of
the Production Code. The Production Code stipulated what was and was not appropriate to appear in films. In 1966, the MPAA elected Jack Valenti
president and he changed the code to a rating system based on the amount of objectionable content in a film. The rating system went through several
amendments until the current rating system. A controversy arose when The Weinstein Co. film Blue Valentine received an NC

Since film director, Steven Spielberg, introduced the PGā€“13 rating in 1984, ratings creep has infected films. Ratings creep allows material such as
perverse language or mature content that would appear in an R rated film to make its way into films rated PGā€“13 (Hansen 273). In a content analysis
that was conducted by three researchers they found that "[recent] studies of movie content have indicated that movies with ratings of G, PG, and
PGā€“13, which are unrestricted for child audiences, have included increasing amounts of adult content . . . across the past decade" (Potts and Belden
267). In PGā€“13 rated films more material that is objectionable is appearing in the films. In an article for the Journal of Adolescent Health, the author
writes, "[despite] the criterion that ['] rough or persistent violence is absent ['] in PGā€“13 films, studies indicate that PGā€“13 contains equal, if not more,
violence than R films" (Nalkur, Jamieson, and Romer 4). Ratings creep is something that can happen over time. The Production Code of the early
Hollywood years saw a digression of censorship during the late 50s and early 60s when the committee started to make compromises allowing more
elements that were objectionable to creep into films of that era. Because of the digression of the Production Code the MPAA president, Jack Valenti,
decided to change the Production Code to the current rating system. It is also a corrupt

How To Analyze Films Essay
Did you know it is more to film broadcasting than just visible viewing it? The ability to analyze films implicates closely examination of
cinematography. Cinematography refers to the process in film of lighting a shot and achieving quality in the visual images that are captured. The
cinematographer in any film is also known as the director of photography and may be either an artist or a technician. It is this individual who is
responsible for ensuring that the images appearing on screen are presented to reflect the mood or the emotional effect and the style seen by the film
director, producer, and writer as essential to conveying its meaning. The director of photography works closely with the director and interprets the
action of the...show more content...
(Boggs & Petrie p. 9) One aspect of eliminating impartiality is to view a film in its proper environment. Try selecting an environment that is attractive
and comfortable; preferably a theater with modern stadium seating and the upmost quality projection and audio sound equipment. As comfort and
sound plays an immense role in how well we appreciate an experience. While viewing films try to restrain your comments and thoughts. Take mental
notes and discuss them at a later time with others who shared your cinematic journey. As restraining your comments and thoughts avoid passing bias
and negative viewpoint onto others.
The basic approach to analyzing films as a whole is to keep in mind that when we are watching a film we cannot freeze for analysis. We have to
concentrate on the interactions of image, sound, and motion that are present. In addition we have to accumulate impressions of the film effectiveness
and maintain some degree of objectivity and critical detachment. Viewing films more than once usually help our analysis becomes easier. Another asset
is to view in selective screen segments that exemplify the purpose and the interrelationship. Regardless of which option: singleā€“viewing,
doubleā€“viewing, or breaking the film into segments, one can virtually use the same

My Criteria for Film Evaluation Essay
My Criteria for Film Evaluation
There are three major standards through which I decide whether or not I will watch a film: reputation, and genre. Reputation is inclusive of friends and
ratings of the film. Usually my friends and I have similar tastes and we are aroused or repulsed by the same films. Reputation is a strong and stable
standard for deciding which film to go to, because with such a large population of movie watchers, major biases don't affect the reputation and ratings

I have also noticed the exact opposite pattern with people who watch feel good movies. It gives them motivation to strive for a life such as the ones
they have seen, a goal perhaps. Indeed, the feel good movies may be oppressive in a sense people strive for unrealistic living, something that may not
ever happen, but it is always comparatively better to strive for something and never reach it, than to never strive at all. That is why I love feel good
movies.
I recently watched The Pursuit of Happyness. It was a feel good movie about a man who had nothing and how even his nothing declined to just
himself and his son. His apartment got taken away, his wife left him, and even after he started to live in a motel, it got taken away also, all because
of a lack of money. He worked hard selling useless pieces of equipment that a very small population of buyers would want. He walked countless miles
to each buyer each day at a potential shot at buying his merchandise. He made bare minimum and sometimes couldn't give enough food to his son. But
through all the change, one thing stayed constant, the pursuit of happiness. He strove learning and soon got a job at an extremely and severe

what makes an excellent film Essay
What makes an excellent film?
It took me a little while to come up with an answer to, "What makes an excellent film?" There really is no answer, actually. I believe that an excellent
film is within the eyes and emotions of the audience. After researching and discovering what actually won Oscars and Golden Globe awards, it came
down to what the people thought, and the popularity of a film. It is extremely hard to predict what will win these awards before the movie is even

The only other time that this had happened was in the 1950's, for Ben Hur. These definitely have something to do with what makes an excellent film,
but I also believe that the personal connection and emotions that someone has with a film is just as important.
I feel that the emotional connection that people make with a film is, in most cases, an extremely important quality that directors can emphasize on
in /their work. Whether it is a realistic movie that is based off of a true story, or a children's Disney movie, anyone can experience a sense of a
character's point of view. Depending on the type of film (horror, suspense, comedy, drama, etc.), this emotional connection can vary among different
people. In a classic Disney film such as Bambi, children can relate to Bambi. They can easily understand the type of experiences that he goes through
such as having friends (Thumper, a joyous rabbit, and Flower, a loving skunk), playing on an icy pond, and even going through an emotional event of
losing a loved one (the death of Bambi's mother).
In general, people rarely want to watch films that they know they won't enjoy. This is why there are so many types of films, and different people have

Foreign Films Vs. Local Films Essay
Nowadays, most of the Malaysians prefer to watch foreign films than the local films. This can be seen by the number of ticket sold in cinema for
the foreign films are higher than the local films same as the DVD's. If both the foreign films and local films are compared, there will be many
things that the local films lack of. Lijialong (2014) posted that Rosnan, Ismail & Daud 2007 mentioned that there is a small number of audiences
which has a total approximately 5.29 million in 2008 out of 28 million, according to the data shown in a graph from an article. This is proving that
foreign films are more preferred by the Malaysians than the local films. Many of Malaysian thinks that the foreign films are far better compared to the
local films based on their storyline, actors and technologies. The foreign films have more attractive and good storyline, talented actors and their
technologies also are more modern.
The storyline of foreign films are more attractive than the local films. Most of the local films have the same storyline especially for genre like love,
horror and action. The ending of the films are also almost the same. Besides that, most of the local films do not give any good moral value especially
for the kids. This can give bad effects for the kids who will lead the country in the future. Farahanim (2014) written that Dov Sā€“S Simens, professional

In the early times of narrative cinema there was litter pressure on the filmmakers for the evolution of film forms before nickelodeons (Salt, 31) as
cinema had not become a mass cultural product and film was still just a novelty expected to die out like rock n roll. And so the demand was low and
so the supply could remain unoriginal. Mary Jane's Mishap was made in 1903 when 'multiā€“scene films were becoming popular' (Salt, 32). Mary Jane's
Mishap is notable for its use of experimental and inventive shot transitions. It used a vertical wipe to instead of 'separate successive scenes' (Salt, 32)

Matilda Movie Analysis
The film Matilda, created by Raold Dahl, tells the story of a gifted young lady named Matilda Wormwood, played by Mara Wilson, who was born into
a very unaccepting and unsupportive community. She began her life in a very closeā€“minded family. Her family did not support her thirst for
knowledge and learning but rather were constantly pressuring her to be more like them; dishonest and unmotivated. When Matilda was of school age,
she was overwhelmed with excitement at the prospect of beginning school until she met Agatha Trunchbull, the school's principal. Even from their first
meeting, their relationship was a difficult one and this tension tainted Matilda's school experience. As Matilda continued to grow and learn, she
realized that her power of telekinesis could be used to negate the effects of Mrs. Trunchbull's behaviour on both herself and all of her friends.
Throughout the movie, Matilda continues to realize the power within her and the love she has for learning. This film analysis will be reflecting on
three different developmental lenses including John Bowlby's attachment theory, Lev Vygotsky's zone of proximal development andJean Piaget's stages
of cognitive development and considering how each of these lenses relate to the film Matilda.
Attachment is a deep and enduring emotional bond that connects one person to another across time and space (Bowlby, 1969). John Bowlby is a
famous psychologist who is known for his interest in child development and for his pioneering work in coining the attachment theory alongside Mary
Ainsworth. Bowlby and Ainsworth characterizes attachment by specific behaviors of children, such as needing to have that individual close to them
when they are feeling upset or threatened. He further explains that attachment in adults towards children includes responding sensitively and
appropriately to a child's needs. Throughout the film, it is evident that Matilda and Miss Honey have a strong attachment to one another and how
beneficial this attachment is to them both. As shown in the film, Miss Honey is an adult that Matilda can rely on and share her passions and interests.
As Matilda's parents continue to misunderstand and show a disinterest in her and her love of school, Miss

Jackie immediately tells the attendant to stop pumping gas into the team's bus. At which point, the attendant backs down and lets Jackie use the
restroom. That scene helped me to understand Jackie's distain for discrimination. The next incident of segregation we witness involves Rachel, when
she is surprised to see a "whites only" sign on a women's restroom door at an airport in Florida. The actress did a fantastic job of showing the shock and
disbelief that Rachel expressed since she was from Pasadena, California and had never been exposed to this type of racial discrimination.
When I first saw the cast, I was not quite sure what to expect. Two of the three leading roles, were not household names. I had not seen or heard of
the actor playing Jackie Robinson, nor had I heard of the actress playing his wife Rachel Robinson. Chadwick Boseman did great in his portrayal
of Jackie as was Nicole Beharie playing the role of Rachel. The two of them on screen together made for a great team. Chadwick was especially
talented in his ability to show the anguish in his facial expressions when he faced insults and injuries. Boseman's performance as a professional
ballplayer, loving husband, and father as well as a man that knows how to restrain himself when dealing with racism on and off the field reflects his
skill as an actor. Nicole Beharie plays a wife with the "it's us against the world mentality," flawlessly. She seems perfect for the role of Rachel who is not

video of her explaining everything, the factions being an experiment, how they knew it would lead to war eventually, and how the Divergent are
what they were trying to create through this experiment. Beatrice and her friends broadcasted this video for all the factions to see, something the
lady on the opposing side of the war didn't want people to see. They also go to jail for releasing this video and escape. None of these details are in
the movie and Edith Prior was never mentioned. In the book Beatrice's brother was charged with treason, went to trail and sentenced to death.
Beatrice's boyfriend Four helps him escape. In the movie her brother never had a trial, Four just broke him out. When they finally escape the
factions and over the wall they are found by the people who started the experiment, the Bureau. In the book being at the Bureau cause tension

Filmmaking: The Complex Process Of Making A Film
Making a film takes a very complex process. This is why films sometimes take months and even years to make. Filmmaking is always broken up into
5 steps. Filmmaking takes a process of the development of the film, the preā€“production, production, the postā€“production, and distribution. This is when
the production begins to take shape. Ideas for the film are created and the screenplay is written and edited. During this part of the process financing
is planned out and looked at what can be afforded, what needs to be purchased, or what will be the amount of money of the whole film in total.
During this part of the process the head people in charge make preparations for the film. For example they hold auditions to know what the cast and
film crew to hire, they begin to build sets for the film, and they begin searching for and choosing the locations for the motion picture. This part of the
process is when the film begins to take its shape. The script is put to action and it is then recorded during the film shoot. During this process, it is
when the director has their ideas brought to life. While filming, things may be changed such as the dialogue, sets, tiny parts of the plot, and costumes.
Some filmmakers say this is when they come up with more creative ideas. Many creative decisions are made during this process of filmmaking. The
process of the postā€“production is when the images of the film, the sounds, and the effects are edited. This process is done under the film's director's

Essay On An Evaluation Of Grease

  • 1. Essay on An Evaluation of Grease An Evaluation of Grease My film that I choose was Grease because it contains music, dancing and humor. It is a cross between comedy and teen movies. It is a tribute to the Broadway show of the 1950's. It was directed by Randal Klieser and was released on July 7th 1978. The music and dance scenes are what attracted me to Grease. My favorite characters are John Travolta and Jeff Conaway who play Danny and Kenickie. I like these two because they are your typical high school popular boys who are always looking out for each other, looking good and they are always trying to get the beautiful girls but at the same time acting cool like it doesn't bother them. I had high expectations of Grease and I...show more content... Secondly genre is the French word meaning type. Genres may be approached by way of various critical avenues. In the Aristotelian strain we recognize genres as kinds within a system of classification. These categories beg further definition, so there is a history of, on the one hand, the refinement of divisions and subdivisions, and on the other a Platonic search for the 'essential' qualities of tragedy, comedy, epic poetry, and so forth. By the recognition of genres we begin to find our way in the universe of verbal artifacts with their feigned discourses, and to train our expectations upon the experience that lies in wait for us. Grease's genre is a hybrid genre because it is a cross between a comedy, a teen movie and romantic. Lastly representation is the act of representing or the state of being represented. Also it is something that represents an image, an account or statement, an expostulation or a presentation or production. For example the representation of the characters in Grease varies. Sandy is portrayed as a pure and innocent girl but on the other hand Rizzo is portrayed as a bad girl who is always getting into trouble and won't take anything from no one. Also Rizzo is sometimes mean to Sandy Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. The Importance Of Film Evaluation The evaluation of a film assigns some form of value to a film and the experience you encountered while watching the film. Evaluation can imply the criteria and standards that you can argue about to place value on a film. Thus, giving people a reason to question a film to develop reasons, make such standards are met and to understand the film. These standards can stem from the classical evaluation and pluralisticā€“category method which has given viewers a blueprint of how you should properly evaluate a film. There are certain ways that you can go about judging a films effectiveness. For instance, the classical evaluation method imposes the use of cinematicity within three concepts that all films should have. Like medium specificity, cinematicity allows film to distinguish itself from theatre with the use of closeā€“ups, camera movement, etc.; thus, creates a universal structure for critics to judge a film. This is based on the creative style of the director and how much the viewers admire the way the has stuck with its cinematicity. However, the pluralisticā€“category does not base its evaluation on style and opinion. In all, these types of evaluations are used in different ways which will be further explained throughout this essay. According to the classical theorist, there should be a display of visual representation which the solvet montagists, realists and the Perkins theory ā€“ which was founded by Victor Perkins book, Film as Film.

  • 3. To Kill A Mockingbird Movie Evaluation The 1962 drama, To Kill a Mockingbird, stars Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch and Mary badham as Scout and was directed by Robert Mulligan. The screenplay was written by Horton Foote and was based off of the book by Harper Lee. This film was nominated for many awards and won many too, including Academy Awards for Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Art Direction. It also won Golden Globes for Best Actor, Best Original Score, and Best Film Promoting International Understanding. To Kill a Mockingbird is set in a small town in Alabama in the 1930's and follows the life of a young girl, Scout, and her father and brother for three years. Scout and Jem's father Atticus is asked to defend a black man in a case where he was accused of taking...show more content... I like that the story is told from the innocent perspective of a six year old. For the most part, this film is pretty historically accurate, but some is a little exaggerated for the sake of the story. In real life, Atticus probably wouldn't have defended a black man in that time period, to protect himself and his children. Going against the word of a white woman would definitely get him more hate than he received in the film. But, most of the film was accurate to the time and definitely furthered my understanding of this time period. It is hard to realize how racist and sexirt people used to be, and it wasn't a big deal because everyone was. Obviously, nowadays our society in very politically correct so it is hard to imagine what it was like. I think one of the overall strengths of this movie is the casting, all of the actors are perfect for their roles and really bring the characters to life. Since I read the book before the movie, I also really appreciate that the movie stays true to the book and doesn't change too much. I think the only weakness is that the story isn't always explained very well. Everything that happens with Boo Radley and the kids is a little bit random and isn't described as well in the movie as it is in the book. But, overall I really enjoy this movie and would definitely recommend Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Through writing my pitch, I've learnt several things about the film industry. I've realised that a pitch is the very first thing we need to do before proceeding to any preproduction or production tasks and that the purpose of a pitch is to attract development finance to pay for the production of the film. Therefore, a pitch should be marketable and interesting. As pitching is commonly known as "selling the film", there are several things I need to consider in my pitch so that it can attract the investors and they would greenā€“light the project. Some of them include the names of actors and actresses to create star power, a brief plot synopsis, budgeting values, genre and the target audience. I've also included a similar film to give a...show more content... The strapline "there's more you need to know" creates a sense of mysterious and curiosity in the readers. The strapline is coloured in black colour and black signifies mysteriousness and seriousness. For the title, I've used the font 'Minion Pro' as it is more unisex yet not so common so that it would be more appealing to older audience unlike the font 'Curlz MT' used in many girly or teen magazines. Posters play a very important role in the film industry. Through the production work, which required me to design and create at least three posters featuring my film, I've learned that the posters are one of the things needed to make a film successful. This is because they promote the film before it is released and also when the film is shown in cinemas. Most importantly, a film needs a good promotion in order to be successful. There are three types of posters: lobby cards, teaser posters and character posters. Lobby cards are like posters but they are smaller and collectible. However, they are soon replaced by teaser posters and character posters. A teaser poster is an early promotional movie poster, containing only a basic image or design without revealing too much information such as the plot, theme, and characters. They are often used to create sense of suspense and hype in the audience. In contrast, the character poster features an individual character from the film and usually it contains the name of the actor/actress, Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Evaluation Essay On Movie Evaluation Evaluation Essay My dad and I are both huge movie nerds. We both love watching them and talking about them. Although we like some similar and some different types of movies, we like to watch and discuss them together. I look for many different things when I watch a movie. The Biggest thing I look for is plot. I want the plot to make sense and to flow well. I hate when movies have a lot of unexplained plot holes, it makes the movie hard to watch. I think the best movies have well thought out plots. The plot should make the person watching the movie interested in watching until the end. Another thing I look for in movies is actors who are good at acting. In my opinion, I believe that a bad actor can ruin the whole movie. Sometimes it can Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Film as the Most Important Art Form of the Twentieth Century The use of film and its explorations have progressed steadily since the 1800's and as our title suggests, it has become an important art form and a huge influence on society today. Influencing the way we live, the way we speak, the way we act and more. There isn't an art form closer to representing 'reality'; this is why film has such an affect on all of us! The first 'image of motion' created was in 1873 when Eadweard Muybridge, an English photographer used a series of cameras placed along a racetrack to capture the movement of a galloping horse. Muybridge then moved a step closer to the existence of film when he invented The...show more content... As these camera's can offer what is considered as 'advanced' today, the many film directors now take full advantage and a modern film is often based around its use and level of special effects and stunts. These directors are given the opportunity to take everyday life activities and add to them in the most exciting or surreal ways possible! As viewers, we can relate to these scenes but the additional, experimental effects cause our minds to expand and think into more depth about our daily experiences. This is how film today in the Twentieth Century can be argued to be the most important art form. No matter how it is done, art has always represented something or someone from our lives today, in the past or even in the future. Paintings and photography for example portray still image, whereas film and theatre works through conveying image, sound and movement! It could be argued that therefore theatre can be just as important as film, though theatre arts cannot be multiplied and spread worldwide as efficiently as film, film has a greater effect on a wider and less precise audience as it can be viewed by anyone in the world at any time providing it has the right support, funding and facilities! I am sure that more people can relate to film than any other art form as it is usually a Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Why Comedy Movies Are So Great Essay There are many forms of expression inside of everybody; however the most common form is laughter. The sound of laughter can be heard all around the worlds every second, it helps us relieve stress and makes us feel better about ourselves. Comedy movies play such an important role in helping us laugh. There are many forms of movies out there today. In spite of the recent incline in action and horror movies today,comedy movies has always been my number one choice because it gives people an opportunity to look at humor in life, it usually has a pointless, useless moral that we can relate to, and it allows you to look at things in a new light and possibly expand your horizon to become a more optimistic person....show more content... Many of the morals in a comedy movie can relate to us; however, it usually is a moral that is just useless facts that we don't need in our daily life. In the movie, Me, Myself, and Irene is an example of a moral that we can relate to but really don't need. In the beginning of the movie the character has found the love of his life, they get married and live a happy life until his wife finds another guy and they get divorced. At the end of the movie the main character finds another girl he really likes and was going to let her walk out of his life, until he realizes he is not going to be happy without her and stops her from leaving. The moral in the movie was that you shouldn't let a loved one go by without telling that person your feelings. We can relate to this but it wont be of value in our daily life. Comedy movies can educate us and make us change into a different person as well. It allows us to look at things in a new light and possibly expand your horizon to become a more optimistic person. The term optimistic means a person who has a positive outlook in life. Not many comedies has this characteristic in their movies; however, one movie that does is Dumb and dumber. Both the characters were stupid, so they took something a person would say and take it very literally. Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. MPAA Rating System Essay examples In 1968 Jack Valenti, the president of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), established the Classification and Ratings Administration (CARA) in an effort to reduce the amount of objectionable material in film. Before 1968, the MPAA required that all films follow the guidelines of the Production Code. The Production Code stipulated what was and was not appropriate to appear in films. In 1966, the MPAA elected Jack Valenti president and he changed the code to a rating system based on the amount of objectionable content in a film. The rating system went through several amendments until the current rating system. A controversy arose when The Weinstein Co. film Blue Valentine received an NC ā€“17 rating for a sexually explicit scene...show more content... Since film director, Steven Spielberg, introduced the PGā€“13 rating in 1984, ratings creep has infected films. Ratings creep allows material such as perverse language or mature content that would appear in an R rated film to make its way into films rated PGā€“13 (Hansen 273). In a content analysis that was conducted by three researchers they found that "[recent] studies of movie content have indicated that movies with ratings of G, PG, and PGā€“13, which are unrestricted for child audiences, have included increasing amounts of adult content . . . across the past decade" (Potts and Belden 267). In PGā€“13 rated films more material that is objectionable is appearing in the films. In an article for the Journal of Adolescent Health, the author writes, "[despite] the criterion that ['] rough or persistent violence is absent ['] in PGā€“13 films, studies indicate that PGā€“13 contains equal, if not more, violence than R films" (Nalkur, Jamieson, and Romer 4). Ratings creep is something that can happen over time. The Production Code of the early Hollywood years saw a digression of censorship during the late 50s and early 60s when the committee started to make compromises allowing more elements that were objectionable to creep into films of that era. Because of the digression of the Production Code the MPAA president, Jack Valenti, decided to change the Production Code to the current rating system. It is also a corrupt Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. How To Analyze Films Essay Did you know it is more to film broadcasting than just visible viewing it? The ability to analyze films implicates closely examination of cinematography. Cinematography refers to the process in film of lighting a shot and achieving quality in the visual images that are captured. The cinematographer in any film is also known as the director of photography and may be either an artist or a technician. It is this individual who is responsible for ensuring that the images appearing on screen are presented to reflect the mood or the emotional effect and the style seen by the film director, producer, and writer as essential to conveying its meaning. The director of photography works closely with the director and interprets the action of the...show more content... (Boggs & Petrie p. 9) One aspect of eliminating impartiality is to view a film in its proper environment. Try selecting an environment that is attractive and comfortable; preferably a theater with modern stadium seating and the upmost quality projection and audio sound equipment. As comfort and sound plays an immense role in how well we appreciate an experience. While viewing films try to restrain your comments and thoughts. Take mental notes and discuss them at a later time with others who shared your cinematic journey. As restraining your comments and thoughts avoid passing bias and negative viewpoint onto others. The basic approach to analyzing films as a whole is to keep in mind that when we are watching a film we cannot freeze for analysis. We have to concentrate on the interactions of image, sound, and motion that are present. In addition we have to accumulate impressions of the film effectiveness and maintain some degree of objectivity and critical detachment. Viewing films more than once usually help our analysis becomes easier. Another asset is to view in selective screen segments that exemplify the purpose and the interrelationship. Regardless of which option: singleā€“viewing, doubleā€“viewing, or breaking the film into segments, one can virtually use the same Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. My Criteria for Film Evaluation Essay My Criteria for Film Evaluation There are three major standards through which I decide whether or not I will watch a film: reputation, and genre. Reputation is inclusive of friends and ratings of the film. Usually my friends and I have similar tastes and we are aroused or repulsed by the same films. Reputation is a strong and stable standard for deciding which film to go to, because with such a large population of movie watchers, major biases don't affect the reputation and ratings are fair and accurate. Also, people are inclined to give high ratings to movies that touch them or really make them think regardless...show more content... I have also noticed the exact opposite pattern with people who watch feel good movies. It gives them motivation to strive for a life such as the ones they have seen, a goal perhaps. Indeed, the feel good movies may be oppressive in a sense people strive for unrealistic living, something that may not ever happen, but it is always comparatively better to strive for something and never reach it, than to never strive at all. That is why I love feel good movies. I recently watched The Pursuit of Happyness. It was a feel good movie about a man who had nothing and how even his nothing declined to just himself and his son. His apartment got taken away, his wife left him, and even after he started to live in a motel, it got taken away also, all because of a lack of money. He worked hard selling useless pieces of equipment that a very small population of buyers would want. He walked countless miles to each buyer each day at a potential shot at buying his merchandise. He made bare minimum and sometimes couldn't give enough food to his son. But through all the change, one thing stayed constant, the pursuit of happiness. He strove learning and soon got a job at an extremely and severe Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 11. This Critique will be going over five different aspects, I will be covering the roles adopted during the project by each group member, I will present an argument on one aspect of the project that I believe was strong, and I will be identifying aspects of my project that I think could have been strengthened and how these could have been changed to improve the work. I will also be providing a rationale for the final cut of the project and discuss how the peer review did or did not help in the development of the project and I will be analysing my final product of the project and discuss aspects of the film itself. First for this assignment I tried to stand back and not take over being the leader as it did not work for another assignment in the past. Standing back at first was not working for no one was standing up to lead the group as I felt no one wanted to be the leader. We ended up all being the leader and no one being the leader. For the roles in this assignment, it was more group based leadership where everyone contributed to making the movie move forward. The first few weeks I found it was difficult getting hold of people as one of our group member's, Luyao as she only showed up for the first class and we did not see her during filming and editing, also hasn't really contributed to the film as far as I know. Qiaochu says she has done some filming with her, but as I have only seen her once I could not tell you if she has done any work towards the filming part. The first Get more content on HelpWriting.net

After researching and discovering what actually won Oscars and Golden Globe awards, it came down to what the people thought, and the popularity of a film. It is extremely hard to predict what will win these awards before the movie is even released to the public. Before really thinking about the subject, some obvious traits of what I would consider "an excellent film" would be superior acting, beautiful scenery, etc., such as many present categories in the Academy or Golden Globe Awards. Of course I could...show more content... The only other time that this had happened was in the 1950's, for Ben Hur. These definitely have something to do with what makes an excellent film, but I also believe that the personal connection and emotions that someone has with a film is just as important. I feel that the emotional connection that people make with a film is, in most cases, an extremely important quality that directors can emphasize on in /their work. Whether it is a realistic movie that is based off of a true story, or a children's Disney movie, anyone can experience a sense of a character's point of view. Depending on the type of film (horror, suspense, comedy, drama, etc.), this emotional connection can vary among different people. In a classic Disney film such as Bambi, children can relate to Bambi. They can easily understand the type of experiences that he goes through such as having friends (Thumper, a joyous rabbit, and Flower, a loving skunk), playing on an icy pond, and even going through an emotional event of losing a loved one (the death of Bambi's mother). In general, people rarely want to watch films that they know they won't enjoy. This is why there are so many types of films, and different people have different views on what makes an "excellent film". The media can have an Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 13. College Essay On Film Editing Editing is one of the most important parts of filmmaking. Film Editing is one of my favorite things to do. But let's get to the point. I have recently graduated from a recognized film school and I just created a short film that goes viral. I am anxious for a TV/ film production company to see my produced video. Or if that doesn't work you make ads to get your name out there for local job openings, or recruitments. Well no one's interested in an award winning filmmaker! A production company with standards is not going to consider a student who just graduated from afilm school. A degree in law, master's or engineering degree all are bait for finding a job easily. Sure I may know how to block a scene, move a dolly, edit, correct colors and mix Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 14. Foreign Films Vs. Local Films Essay Nowadays, most of the Malaysians prefer to watch foreign films than the local films. This can be seen by the number of ticket sold in cinema for the foreign films are higher than the local films same as the DVD's. If both the foreign films and local films are compared, there will be many things that the local films lack of. Lijialong (2014) posted that Rosnan, Ismail & Daud 2007 mentioned that there is a small number of audiences which has a total approximately 5.29 million in 2008 out of 28 million, according to the data shown in a graph from an article. This is proving that foreign films are more preferred by the Malaysians than the local films. Many of Malaysian thinks that the foreign films are far better compared to the local films based on their storyline, actors and technologies. The foreign films have more attractive and good storyline, talented actors and their technologies also are more modern. The storyline of foreign films are more attractive than the local films. Most of the local films have the same storyline especially for genre like love, horror and action. The ending of the films are also almost the same. Besides that, most of the local films do not give any good moral value especially for the kids. This can give bad effects for the kids who will lead the country in the future. Farahanim (2014) written that Dov Sā€“S Simens, professional film instructor, has opined that Malaysia's film industry is still weak, judging by the local films he had Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 15. The Evolution of Film Essay example In the early times of narrative cinema there was litter pressure on the filmmakers for the evolution of film forms before nickelodeons (Salt, 31) as cinema had not become a mass cultural product and film was still just a novelty expected to die out like rock n roll. And so the demand was low and so the supply could remain unoriginal. Mary Jane's Mishap was made in 1903 when 'multiā€“scene films were becoming popular' (Salt, 32). Mary Jane's Mishap is notable for its use of experimental and inventive shot transitions. It used a vertical wipe to instead of 'separate successive scenes' (Salt, 32) (as it cuts to a shot width a wider frame of the same locale) but to change the zoom level. This frame is essentially an insert and borderline...show more content... In big bold letter 'PARRAFIN' the flammable oil. Without this shot the viewer would be perplexed as to why she exploded and allows the narrative to flow as it could be water or any other fluid for all they know as cleverly Smith used this miseā€“enā€“scene to explain the narrative instead of an intertitle before the explosion which would have removed all suspense, tension and mystery especially after she moved to the cameras to show her gesturing a bright idea. Though this closeā€“up could also be argued by Gunning of being of the cinema of attractions as 'For a time [in cinema] closeā€“ups were only used as an attraction to see an images but larger than life but 'inciting visual curiosity' (Gunning, pg 58) rather being evolutionary towards narrative cinema. The closeā€“ups heighten the 'only [tool they] they have at their disposal, a language of gestures' (Burch, 224) musser idea Mary Jane's Mishap combined the cinema of attraction trick film with the viewers want for narrative. 'The decline in their [trick films] commercial importance was already evident by 1906' (Salt, 40) Smith used a jump cut to create the illusion of Mary Jane exploding into smoke by subtracting her and adding smoke in the successive shot. He also uses superimposition to create a ghost liken creature. Like an avatar for its day. This shows narratives cinema still being influenced by the cinema of attractions as to make an entertaining film. The acting Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 16. Matilda Movie Analysis The film Matilda, created by Raold Dahl, tells the story of a gifted young lady named Matilda Wormwood, played by Mara Wilson, who was born into a very unaccepting and unsupportive community. She began her life in a very closeā€“minded family. Her family did not support her thirst for knowledge and learning but rather were constantly pressuring her to be more like them; dishonest and unmotivated. When Matilda was of school age, she was overwhelmed with excitement at the prospect of beginning school until she met Agatha Trunchbull, the school's principal. Even from their first meeting, their relationship was a difficult one and this tension tainted Matilda's school experience. As Matilda continued to grow and learn, she realized that her power of telekinesis could be used to negate the effects of Mrs. Trunchbull's behaviour on both herself and all of her friends. Throughout the movie, Matilda continues to realize the power within her and the love she has for learning. This film analysis will be reflecting on three different developmental lenses including John Bowlby's attachment theory, Lev Vygotsky's zone of proximal development andJean Piaget's stages of cognitive development and considering how each of these lenses relate to the film Matilda. Attachment is a deep and enduring emotional bond that connects one person to another across time and space (Bowlby, 1969). John Bowlby is a famous psychologist who is known for his interest in child development and for his pioneering work in coining the attachment theory alongside Mary Ainsworth. Bowlby and Ainsworth characterizes attachment by specific behaviors of children, such as needing to have that individual close to them when they are feeling upset or threatened. He further explains that attachment in adults towards children includes responding sensitively and appropriately to a child's needs. Throughout the film, it is evident that Matilda and Miss Honey have a strong attachment to one another and how beneficial this attachment is to them both. As shown in the film, Miss Honey is an adult that Matilda can rely on and share her passions and interests. As Matilda's parents continue to misunderstand and show a disinterest in her and her love of school, Miss Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 17. Evaluation of the Movie "42" Evaluation of the Movie "42" When I first viewed this movie, I already knew some of Jackie Robinson's history, but I was still moved by this revealing depiction of his life during the years 1945ā€“1947. This true story, which was released April 12, 2013, followed what I had learned about Jackie and stayed accurate while still being extremely entertaining. Jackie Robinson's number on his jersey was 42, he wore that number his entire Major League career with the Brooklyn Dodgers. The movie "42" is a biopic of the legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson, when in 1947 Jackie became the first Africanā€“American player to break Major League Baseball's color barrier. The great directing, acting, and writing made this film enjoyable to watch. This...show more content... Jackie immediately tells the attendant to stop pumping gas into the team's bus. At which point, the attendant backs down and lets Jackie use the restroom. That scene helped me to understand Jackie's distain for discrimination. The next incident of segregation we witness involves Rachel, when she is surprised to see a "whites only" sign on a women's restroom door at an airport in Florida. The actress did a fantastic job of showing the shock and disbelief that Rachel expressed since she was from Pasadena, California and had never been exposed to this type of racial discrimination. When I first saw the cast, I was not quite sure what to expect. Two of the three leading roles, were not household names. I had not seen or heard of the actor playing Jackie Robinson, nor had I heard of the actress playing his wife Rachel Robinson. Chadwick Boseman did great in his portrayal of Jackie as was Nicole Beharie playing the role of Rachel. The two of them on screen together made for a great team. Chadwick was especially talented in his ability to show the anguish in his facial expressions when he faced insults and injuries. Boseman's performance as a professional ballplayer, loving husband, and father as well as a man that knows how to restrain himself when dealing with racism on and off the field reflects his skill as an actor. Nicole Beharie plays a wife with the "it's us against the world mentality," flawlessly. She seems perfect for the role of Rachel who is not Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 18. Evaluating The Movie 'Divergent' Evaluation Essay Most of the times when a favorite book is turned into a movie a lot of the important details and side characters are completely left out, or they add crazy changes that seem to add to the action but doesn't add up to the plot line. The novel series "Divergent" is an example of one of these movie vs book issues. Spoiler alert, for example people that died in the book didn't die in the movie. That took away the emotional response most people had in the book and left a feeling of shock in theaters. The novel in the series that has the most book to movie changes would be the last book in the series Allegiant. The Divergent series is about a society of people divided into five groups that they call factions, which are based on...show more content... The first two books and movies went along great, things weren't left out that were vital and all the characters for the most part were there. The last movie is the one that had some plotā€“shifting changes. In the books there is woman named Edith Prior, one of Beatrice's ancestors who had recorded video of her explaining everything, the factions being an experiment, how they knew it would lead to war eventually, and how the Divergent are what they were trying to create through this experiment. Beatrice and her friends broadcasted this video for all the factions to see, something the lady on the opposing side of the war didn't want people to see. They also go to jail for releasing this video and escape. None of these details are in the movie and Edith Prior was never mentioned. In the book Beatrice's brother was charged with treason, went to trail and sentenced to death. Beatrice's boyfriend Four helps him escape. In the movie her brother never had a trial, Four just broke him out. When they finally escape the factions and over the wall they are found by the people who started the experiment, the Bureau. In the book being at the Bureau cause tension between Beatrice and Four so they break up for some time, this also never happens in the movie. The book has a modern setting, airplanes, books, and other things that we have now. In the movie the technology was so advanced that it was like something out of a Star Trek movie and it didn't fit with the original feel of the book at all. In the end Beatrice is killed and Four greaves for a long time. The book had an emotional ending and had myself in tears. In the movie Beatrice never gets herself in the situation to be killed, which is a happy moment but also anger that the producers would make such a drastic change so they can continue the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 19. Filmmaking: The Complex Process Of Making A Film Making a film takes a very complex process. This is why films sometimes take months and even years to make. Filmmaking is always broken up into 5 steps. Filmmaking takes a process of the development of the film, the preā€“production, production, the postā€“production, and distribution. This is when the production begins to take shape. Ideas for the film are created and the screenplay is written and edited. During this part of the process financing is planned out and looked at what can be afforded, what needs to be purchased, or what will be the amount of money of the whole film in total. During this part of the process the head people in charge make preparations for the film. For example they hold auditions to know what the cast and film crew to hire, they begin to build sets for the film, and they begin searching for and choosing the locations for the motion picture. This part of the process is when the film begins to take its shape. The script is put to action and it is then recorded during the film shoot. During this process, it is when the director has their ideas brought to life. While filming, things may be changed such as the dialogue, sets, tiny parts of the plot, and costumes. Some filmmakers say this is when they come up with more creative ideas. Many creative decisions are made during this process of filmmaking. The process of the postā€“production is when the images of the film, the sounds, and the effects are edited. This process is done under the film's director's Get more content on HelpWriting.net
