Mockumentary
Mockumentaries are fictional documentary-style films or television shows that use the format and style of documentaries to parody or comment on real events. They present fictional events as if they were true historical documentaries, often with interviews and footage of events, and are sometimes partly or wholly improvised to maintain the appearance of reality. Examples given are This Is Spinal Tap, a 1984 rock mockumentary about a fictional British heavy metal band, and Kenny, a 2006 Australian mockumentary about a Melbourne plumber. The document also describes a proposed mockumentary about the rare Hengrovian Bog Newt designed to parody BBC nature documentaries.
Kill bill
Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill films extensively borrow and reference martial arts and exploitation films of the 1970s through its characters, scenes, music and visual style. This includes homages to actors and characters from films and TV shows of the era. By taking genre conventions to exaggerated levels and mixing them with unexpected settings, Tarantino engages in playful parody and commentary of the martial arts film tradition, making Kill Bill strikingly postmodern in its self-referential style and engagement with audience knowledge of its influences.

Post modernism and Lady Gaga 2015
Lady Gaga's music video for "Telephone" references many pop culture works through pastiche and intertextuality. The nearly 10 minute video contains allusions to over 45 movies, artists, and pop culture icons. It also prominently features product placements and pushes boundaries with its depiction of violence and challenging of gender and social norms. Through its hyper-styization, meta-narrative, and blurring of fiction and reality, the video exemplifies many traits of postmodernism.
Pulp fiction
Pulp Fiction is considered a post-modern film because it contains many post-modern features such as unconventional narrative structure, references to other films (intertextuality), and focusing on trivial details and mundane dialogue. It jumps between different time periods confusing the viewer and draws attention to itself as a constructed work. While some critics argue it focuses too much on style over substance, Pulp Fiction remains an iconic example of a post-modern film through its narrative experimentation and self-referential elements.

The movie was nominated for an Oscar for its song "Blame Canada".
The social realist roots of soaps
The document discusses the origins and development of social realism in British film and television from the 1930s-1960s. It began with documentary films of the 1930s showing working class lives. In the late 1950s, "kitchen sink" dramas emerged depicting working class people in gritty domestic situations and exploring social issues. John Osborne's influential 1956 play "Look Back in Anger" was a key work, as were 1960 films like "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning" which adapted novels depicting working class life. These works influenced other plays and films into the 1960s that used a documentary style to represent working class stories and controversies.

Drama is a film genre that relies on realistic characters and their progression through problems that people commonly face, such as addictions, moral dilemmas, and conflicts with society and themselves.

During the 1960s and 1970s, many influential dramatic directors made their first films, such as The Godfather, Taxi Driver, and Mean Streets, while successful sports and war films also emerged. In the 1980s and 1990s, dramas took on more emotional themes as seen in films like The Color Purple and Boyz N the Hood, and comedy-dramas

History of music videos
The history of music videos began with abstract films by Oscar Fischinger that were synchronized to music tracks. Early music videos were displayed on Panaroms and Scopitones, film reels shown in public spaces and bars that featured short films set to popular songs. In the 1960s, British TV shows began airing music promos to feature bands. The concept of a cable TV channel dedicated to music videos was proposed by Mike Nesmith in the late 1970s. MTV launched in 1981 and helped break new artists, especially British new wave bands. The channel initially focused on white rock acts but later played more black artists and genres like rap and R&B. By the mid-1980s, MTV had become a

When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Mighty boosh presentation
- 2. • The Mighty Boosh is a British comedy written by and starring comedians Julian Barrett and Noel Fielding. It focuses mainly on surrealism, fashion and complete and utter fantasy in ways that make it into a completely unique show. Fielding and Barratt's influences include Mr Benn, Monty Python and even Frank Zappa, (an avante guarde musician who released over 60 albums!!!) The show is based around 6 reoccurring characters in Vince Noir, Howard Moon, Bob Fossil, Naboo and Bollo.
- 3. • The main structure of The Mighty Boosh is that Howard and Vince find some reason to go on some form of adventure, get in trouble and need Naboo to help them out. On these adventures they meet characters that are used mostly in just one show such as Old Gregg and The Crack Fox.
- 4. • The show is postmodern in many many ways; it is completely based around fashion and the celebrity culture. Vince and Howard are always trying to find some way of becoming famous, be it through being a photographer, a singer or a poet. Vince's whole character is very much postmodern, even in the clothes he wears.
- 5. • The show is based completely on popular culture, however there are times that high art is used and regenerated as pop culture. An example of this is in series 3 when Howard becomes a classical Shakespearian actor but is used in an advert where he plays Sammy The Crab (an actual character in the show, postmodern!) Howard is very much a character based around high art and Vince around pop culture. As the show goes on, the distinction between the two cultures is unravelled.
- 6. • During the first series there are many times where Vince or Howard directly address the audience in reference to the show. This is self reflexivity. Only in the first series, the two introduce the show and discuss things that will happen in the show. At other times, the two will comment or pull a facial expression to the audience, this is postmodernism similar to in Twenty Four Hour Party People, Nigel Winterbottom 2004. • • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz2szNKnsXo •
- 7. • An emphasis of style over substance, (one of Strinati's features) is that the show is created in a studio. The sets are fake and very much so. There is one point in the first series where they were filming and a piece of the set (a tree) actually fell over when Bryan Ferry (played by Julian, this was not actually Bryan Ferry, it was a jungle man with face paints who drives a motorbike in the jungle, postmodern!!) touches the tree which was not meant to happen but was used for comedic effect.
- 8. • Music videos are very much a postmodern form of text. To add to the postmodernism this show already has, Barratt and Fielding even include them at points in the show. As Vince changes to a different subcultural group each episode be it mod, goth, electro pop or even a George Clinton style Funk lover, the writers manage to create a small song performed by the characters in a style of music video. The characters act as performers to the audience and many conventions of music videos are used. • • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRWVJ3AeFAk
