- 1. 1. Oliver ToonePR4 – me and my movies 2. Frameworks of interpretation 3. The three films that I am going to be talking about in this task will be Godzilla (2014) Jurassic Park (1993) and The Avengers (2012) these films are all action/sci-fi. Here is a brief synopsis of what the films were about. Godzilla is a monster that has been unearthed by the human race alongside two other monsters who Godzilla then has to battle to save San Francisco where the majority of the film is based. Also that the film follows a group of marines who are working alongside the monsters to try and take all three out. Later on towards the end of the film they realise what they are doing won’t work and then have to try and stop it. The Avengers is about a group of people who have been super enhanced and now have powers, they then get called upon to defend the world from an alien invasion who’s leader is the brother of one of the Avengers. Before the aliens take over the Avengers must find out how to put there ability’s together as a team to defeat them. And finally Jurassic Park is about a man who has the knowledge and the money to bring back dinosaurs from the dead using there DNA, this man then gets an idea of an amusement park so that the whole world can see them, but after the first test run of the park which included his family the dinosaurs get out being able to roam around the whole park freely. The director of Godzilla is called Gareth Edwards, the director of the Avengers is called Joss Whedon and then the Director of Jurassic Park is called Steven Spielberg. The reasons I enjoy watching this type of genre is probably because of the storylines and the CGI, with action films you get a lot of good storylines, for example Jurassic Park made a trilogy and are currently working on another film. To cut it down I enjoy the genre so much because isn’t normally a group of people fighting against one goal and trying to survive. I also enjoy the monsters, Godzilla is a iconic monster and the new movie shows that it can still be used with modern day scenarios. I also like following characters in films, if they get re picked for a sequel I would feel more comfortable watching the second film as I can relate to the others. This happens in Jurassic Park and The Avengers e.g. Sam Neill, Robert Downey Jr and Scarlett Johansson. 4. Star theory 5. I don’t necessarily watch a film just because a actor is in it, the films storyline would have to jump out at me, but in saying that, if I saw an actor that I liked I would probably be more inclined in watching the film. There are some actors that are always in the same genre of film for example Seth Rogan is a well know actor in my eyes and if I was to see him in a film I would most probably want to see it considering all the films he is in he plays along-side the same actors and they all make the film great, however this doesn’t mean that I’ve seen all of his films, some of the storylines or trailers for films that he is in don’t appeal to me because it isn’t my Genre. 6. Media Literacy - I normally find out about films I want to watch through Social Networking or Web apps, for example YouTube is a big influence on whether or not I watch a film because you can get all the trailers up on that sight, movie clips and you can even read comments below the screen so that you know what other people are thinking will happen in the film so that can get your mind thinking about it. Another good source of information for films is IMDB (internet movie data base) on this site
- 2. you can literallyget every bit of information you need about the film, actors, rating, directors and much more. I used to read about movies in magazines but as I’ve grown older I’ve started to use the internet a lot more so I lost interest of magazines.
