my sci-fi anamatic

film poster comparison to case studies

comparison of my case studies to my ski-fi film poster:

my case studies are hunger games and star wars my film poster is quite different from my case studies as they all have completely different stories and messages behind them. my film is all about a teenage boy who is schizophenic and is completely and utterly obsessed with robots since he was a young child, he can hear robots and he feels that they are talking to him and giving him tasks to complete and he has to fulfil the needs of the robots. the robots are quite evil and they tell him so start killing innocent humans who they seem to think that they are trying to harm the dystopian world.

my film poster contains the infomation about the actors/actress and this denotes the people who are important to the film. the word "Bots" connotes that there will be robots in the film. the picture depicts a boy who is half human and half robot this uses propp's theory of archetypal charcters for example the hero and villains.

audience

Audience: Certainly most of the potential audience for this film will know the story in advance, for since it was published in 2008, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins has sold 10 million copies worldwide and reached near saturation point among teenage readers, especially girls, taking up the slack left by the completion of the Harry Potter and Twilight sequences.  For example when the selection of the representation in the hunger games most of the characters are mostly young adults/ teenagers.

 

The film appeals to a mainstream audience The Hunger Games, this movie is about children from the age of 12-18 that have to go and fight in the games. They have to do this to be reminded how people have died when they have fought for their Districts. The Districts go up to 1-12. They are picked out a thing called the reaping bowl, these choses the boy and the girl. Katniss Everdeen and her little sister Primrose Everdeen are in district. Prim is chosen from the reaping bowl, a Katniss volunteer as Prim isn’t ready. The boy that is picked is called Petta Mallark a baker boy from district 12 that Katniss Vaguely recognises. They have to fight for their lives to win the game in The Hunger Games. The games have a twist to them and it causes some unfortunate events that can get you killed.The age that the hunger Games is based on is 13 and up. The reason for this is because the film and the books contain gory contents. The interest that people will have when watching the hunger games is Action and the Lifestyle I think would be normal but also people will fill their lives with movies if they wanted to watch these films and some might be intellectual a the hunger games is originally book s so it would get that kind of group in to it. I think the people will watch this movie will be located anywhere; the reason for this is because I think it will appeal to anyone apart from the Group A’s because they won’t be that interested in this type of movie. I also think that people from Group B won’t go see it either.

 

The BBFC have rated this film as a 12a, I think this is a fair rating because         the film contains intense threat, moderate violence and occasional gory moments some scenes had to be edited or cut as they were too violent to be a teenage film.

 

The demographics for this film are likely to be teenager related there are more female characters than male characters in the film only the odd few also they are mostly all teenagers some of the characters are a much older in there 50s-60’s the region and the location of the film is set In a few different destinations All of the Capitol scenes were filmed in a studio in Shelby and Charlotte, North Carolina.

 

       The likely physiographics for this film are the survivors Katniss and Peeta      who are the winners of the hunger games they reach the end without getting shot/ killed  the  care giver in the film is primarily Katniss as she takes her sisters place.

 

The film satisfy the audience by keeping them entertained , giving information about the film, and the companionship of the characters and the person watching the film.   

 

Genre, Representation and repsonse to question 1

Genre: One of my films which is the hunger games which is in the science fiction genre. The story of the hunger games portrays a feminist hero trapped in a dystopian capitalist nightmare. But its message of rebellion and revolution has gone round the world and grossed billions. As its fans explain, the odds were ever in its favour. The hunger games have two sub genres including Sci-Fi and Adventure and The film fits the sub genres The hunger game is a hybrid as I stated above. Sci-fi and adventure. The film is set in a dystopian world which means it’s a sci-fi film, chases and fights from adventure genre . I think the genre of the film plays an important role when making a film and you have to consider whether will my film sell ? statistics show that the most popular films are science fiction and romance so based on this statistic I think that the hunger games will sell quite well in its opening weekend it made£…… and broke the box office records not just here in the united kingdom but in the united states too In a dystopian future, the totalitarian nation of Panem is divided into 12 districts and the Capitol. Each year two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal retribution for a past rebellion, the televised games are broadcast throughout Panem. The 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors while the citizens of Panem are required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss' young sister, Prim, is selected as District 12's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta, are pitted against bigger, stronger representatives, some of whom have trained for this their whole lives. Personally, I think that the hunger games has a good plot because the audience will watch the trailer which is a marketing strategy to make people to watch a film and the plot plays a massive role when making a film successful. The hunger games does have a gripping and an intriguing opening to the film as Katniss’ sister prim has been selected to join district 12 but Katniss runs to her safety and promotes herself instead. The equilibrium = everything goes to plan at the beginning of the story A disruption = prim being elected to join district 12 A recognition of the disruption= katniss realizes she has to save her sister prim An attempt to repair= she tries to overcome the threat A resolution= a new equilibrium is established The plot is linear because its quite straight forward, although there is a few threats along the way The binary opposites of the hunger games katniss the main character is portrayed as a female heroine and she is quite dominant.


Representation: Katniss evrdeen is the hero , is 16 years old and has straight black hair, grey eyes, and olive skin. Her father died in a mine explosion when she is 11. Since then, to keep her family from starving in the Seam, she has had to provide for her mother and sister, using the hunting and gathering knowledge that her father taught her. Katniss doesn’t wear a costume she wears a casual army clothing. The villan is Coriolanus Snow who is a native of the Capitol and is the tyrannical and ruthless President of Panem. He is dressed likea rich, posh and snobby person would wear and this shows the social class of people in the dystopian world. There was quite a clear difference between the male and female characters in the film including their role in the narrative, their body size and shape, costumes they wear, props they carry/use, and their facial expressions they show. The film suggests certain ways of looking or dressing or behaving are normal and quite right no one really misbehaved and was quite villainous. The film does rely on old fashioned ideas of feminine and masculine qualities in the human beings, and there are quite a mixture of black, white and foreign people. The film does promote an impossible body image through katniss and peeta she is thin and beautiful and he is muscular and strong, No not all good looking , young, heterosexual people feature in the film they have some gay, lesbian and bisexual actors who feature in the film. The representation of the film appeals to the audience because lots of the audience may have the qualities that the characters have and can relate to them, Also I think the representations make the film more successful because as I stated earlier lots of people can relate to the characters because they maybe like them. avatar is a science fiction film never to forget . James Cameron’s film features many scientific possibilities that many wished were real. The main scientific element of the film was the scientific development that enabled the creation of the Avatars . the conventions included in the film is the element of space travel, an alien race, robot – like machinery advanced technology and futuristic technology and a few others. Avatar is a hybrid film and it has many subgenres such as action and adventure it has fight scenes special effects from fantasy genre and romantic gestures between characters in the film which also makes it a romance movie too. The genre helps to make the film successful by having an audience who will talk about the film a lot and some maybe science fiction fanatics. I think that avatar’s plot is very intriguing and gripping because of the special effects used throughout the film when a character goes on a mission on the distant world of Pandora. Todorov’s theory in avatar format An equilibrium- Jake before he flies to Pandora, he receives the news of his brother’s death a disruption- Jake experiences his Avatar for the first time. A recognition of the disruption- Jake realises he must save the Na’vi An attempt to repair- Jake tries to tell the Colonel that he will not spy on the Na’vi anymore A resolution- After a battle for the their home, Jake and the Na’vi must try to rebuild their society. The plot is linear because it shows all the events in chronological order. However, towards the beginning, there is a small flashback of when Jake found out that his brother died. There are some binary oppositions featured in Avatar. The main ones are: Good vs. Evil and the Population vs. Business. The story of my film will be quite successful because as I have chosen a good genre and sub genres also you have to make it appealing to your audience . Representations: are the ways in which the media portrays particular groups, communities, experiences, ideas, or topics from a particular ideological or value perspectives. Bias: is the bias or perceived bias of journalists and news producers within the mass media in the selection of events and stories that are reported and how they are covered. Stereotype : one that is regarded as embodying or conforming to a set image or type. Countertype: is a positive stereotype and emphasizes the positive features about a person. An example of a countertype is that all religious people are kind. Ideology: is a world view, a system of values, attitudes and beliefs which an individual, group or society holds to be true or important; these are shared by a culture or society about how that society should function Cultivation theory: examines the long-term effects of television. "The primary proposition of cultivation theory states that the more time people spend 'living' in the television world, the more likely they are to believe social reality portrayed on television." Reinforcement theory: is a limited effects media model applicable within the realm of communication. The theory generally states that people seek out and remember information that provides cognitive support for their pre-existing attitudes and beliefs.


response to Question 1:


Dear Mr Epstein,


Science Fiction films are based on space or time travel and life on other planets such as dystopian worlds a film that would represent this would be the hunger games. In order to create a successful science fiction film there needs stereotyping because the audience who are watching the film can relate to the characters although some people think stereotyping is bad. For example George Lucas who was the director of star wars film and it was released in 1977 and has the use of todrov’s theory equilibrium = when Luke and his  family are sitting at the dinner table at the beginning of the story . disequilibrium= is when lukes town is destroyed and his family are killed. concept of sci-fi films is Propps theory of characters I have set them out in a star wars format so the hro is Luke sky walker, false hero is Hans solo, helper c3p0, prize is princess leia, and the villai is darth vader. Films that follow this theory are successful because they are easy for the audience to understand and follow by using a wide variety of characters without making it too complicated.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a Science Fiction. This book is science fiction because it happens in the future. This is because it takes place in Panem, a place once known as North America. The author renamed North America to be a totally different place called Panem. Much of Star Wars does deal with advanced technology, which seems to put it in the realm of science fiction. We may not have hyper drives that allow for interstellar travel, but we can easily see manned spaceships that travel to other planets as a natural progression from traveling to the moon and sending unmanned probes to other planets in our solar system. Some of the technology in Star Wars is not even that far off; for example, scientists have already been able to create miniature light saber like devices. In Neil Blomkamp’s District 9 pays homage to the genre with its inclusion of the typical narrative theme of body horror. A specific intertextual reference is made to David Croenberg’s the fly a previous Sci- Fi film this gratifies the preferred audiences viewing needs. The film includes futuristic technology such as weapons, gas. Rocket launchers, guns and the technology such as space ships, space costume the aliens wear and the chemicals they use etc. the robots aliens some were half robot and half alien, they were attacking Johannesburg and they have been sectioned off by humans but they want to leave but want to investigate why? In Doug Liman’s Edge of tomorrow features futuristic vehicles, futuristic weapons, locations around the world, robots to fight against, war happening but don’t know why and recognition of people with the futuristic vehicles such as planes and helicopters, futuristic weapons- guns in suit, bullet proof suit and helmet etc. the locations it is set in around the world, robots of fight against , war is happening but they don’t know why and the recognition of people. In interstellar the conventions are Sci-fi = space ships, scientific language, different planets, universe and galaxy. Action = when driving through cornfields chasing drones, and trying to hide from dust storms. Adventure = going through space into a different galaxy and world were time and things are different Alien Sci- fi conventions: Horror conventions: Action conventions: Adventure conventions: Galaxy Quest Sci-fi conventions: Comedy conventions: Action conventions: Adventure conventions: Elysium Sci- fi conventions: Action conventions: Adventure conventions: Avatar Sci – fi conventions: Fantasy conventions: Action conventions: Adventure conventions: Sci-fi Horror Comedy Action – adventure Romance Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Thirst The Devil Wears Prada Gone girl Fantasy Wizard of Oz Last wave Inside out Pan Sci-fi Star wars The purge The Martian Inception Western The phantom empire Haunted Gold The hateful eight The lone ranger

half term homework

A trailer is used for advertisement or a commercial for a feature film that will be launched in cinemas in the future. The term "trailer" comes from their having originally been shown at the end of a feature film screening. My trailer is making meaning for my audience and the message behind the story which unravels throughout the film is to never give up on your dreams it is possible to achieve you just need to make it happen whether you may have a disability or learning difficulties you CAN do it if you put your mind to it. The representational issues in my trailer is disability because one of the main characters in my film has a mental illness which is schizophrenia and the representational issue plays a big role when creating a film. The film language works quite well, for instance the camera, editing and the sound. it is shot with extreme wide shot throughout the film but it does change. The audience are supposed to get pleasure from watching a film and they are left with a feeling of excitement because they want to know what will happen next and it will keep them on the edge of there seats also the more people that watch my film the more people will talk about how good/bad it was and recommendations the uses and gratifications is that my film is for all ages and anyone can watch it whether your 5 or 85 you will still like it. The unique selling point of my film is that i will advertise it and a lot of hard work will go into the designing and promotion. The iconography are the connotations of my character for example, the clothing that he wears once the audience look at what he is wearing they will know exactly what film the clothes came from. The part of the narrative which are revealed is the part when the boy tries to destroy the dystopian world and there is a massive explosion and the audience can imagine what will happen next because its the most exciting bit. in my opinion i think that it is a quite good trailer and its not because its my own i have asked my friends what they think of it and they have reviewed it quite good its better than some of those low cost films although my film is low cost i doesn't show.

prep for the mock exam

Codes and conventions are everything that make up a film poster such as: Main Image: The main image dominates the front cover and lets the reader know who the main person they about in the film. Cover line: The cover line supports the main image and tells the reader what is happening in the image. Masthead: The masthead is usually the text with the biggest, boldest font so it catches the readers attention. House Style: House style is when you use only 2 or 3 main colours and 1 or 2 different types of font so it doesn’t look to busy and looks easy to understand. Most sci- fi films are usually set in space with lots of aliens that don’t exist to make it more fun for children viewing it. Sci -fi also represents the different galaxies that exists to make it exciting for the viewers to watch they also make it like alternate universe. The term institution is commonly applied to customers and behaviour patterns which are important in society. Institution are also a central concern for political rule making and enforcement. Institution are stable valued reoccurring patterns of behaviour

gravity case study

we will market our film by advertising in various different ways:

• social networking sites
• billboards
• newspapers
• magazines
• tv advertisements 
• the underground
• bus stops

we chose to use these marketing techniques to advertise our film because they will be seen by many people as they are shown easily for the public. 

social networking sites: the internet has become more popular in the modern day, most people(typically teenagers) are using the internet more and therefore keeping with this drastic movement in society will allow our film to reach out at our target audience of 15-18 years. we will create our own social networking site pages on websites such as Facebook, Instagram etc this will allow us to reach to our target audience, allow the audience to read more information about the film, behind the scene photos etc .  we will also create our own website this will allow us to place all our behind the scenes clips, images etc, giving our audience a greater insight of our film. 

Billboards:  we will market our film by placing the theatrical and teaser posters on billboards in well advertised parts of London, London is the closest main city near our current location and by placing our image on billboards in more publicised areas will create a greater audience for our film. areas such as Trafalgar square, Piccadilly circus as they would have alot of moving film and still picture billboards. it has alot of publicity and press, also a great tourist attraction therefore expanding our audience 

newspapers and magazines: newspapers and magazines are generally used less nowadays for the teenage age group as social networking sites and the internet have reached greater globalisation. however typically the elder generation will read newspapers and magazines and our film will still reach out to them and we want to cater for as many people (in our target audience) as possible. we will chose magazines for teenagers such as 'more' and 'closer' which are all fashion and lifestyle magazines, however have a film section within, because our target audience is the same as these magazines we will target the right age group.  we also advertise in the film magazines such as 'empire ' which is due to popularity will reach a larger audience, it is an am American based company therefore our film can reach further than the united kingdom. also the newspapers will use will be ones such as 'the guardian'  as there is a section on films on their website and newspapers and are popular newspaper to advertise our film to a larger audience as well as typically the age group will be elder. 

TV adverts: advertising our film on TV will be a great advertising technique for our film as we will be reaching into a larger audience of all ages. because our film is certificated 15-18 we will advertise at around 9pm as this is where younger children - not appropriate for our film  are least likely to be watching TV. The advert will include  our film trailer both teaser and theatrical depending on the time slot allowed to us.  We will advertise on TV channels such as film4 and sky movies.  This is because they advertise and show only films and therefore would be fitting for our type of media product - our sci-fi film.  

Underground and Bus stops:  We chose to advertise our films on the underground - on posters and bill boards as well as small posters placed around, we chose bus stops and sides of buses to place our poster on to promote our film because it will reach a larger audience, according to 'www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/' - 3.5 million passenger journeys are made everyday on London's tube therefore marketing our film on the london underground will allow various amount of people different class, age etc advertising to a diverse and greater amount of people.  Bus stops give the same amount of coverage as the london underground however using bus stops we can target more local ones and well as the ones in London. 

The genre that needs to be emphasised is fairytale because it gives a different and unexpected twist to the film.

We think the parts that are more likely to appeal to our target audience is the violent scenes as well as the romantic scenes.

All aspects of the film are vitality important from the begging to the end as it keeps audience focused and interested and on the edge of their seats!

The unique selling points of the film is the cast, the better the cast the bigger the audience  

Star wars media homework from LouisaRose27

Usability Testing - A hero's journey from Eewei Chen

Archetype: is a term used by Carl Jung to describe universal and recurring characters. the root of this word comes from greek archetypos this means 'first of its kind'. Achretypal characters share certain common features that possess elements of universality. They are able to transcend cultural boundaries. the term hero has long been used to identify the main character story

 

 

High Concept Film:    a high concept film is a film which  a shocking  story line that makes promotion and marketing 'easy'. for example" may the force be with you" comes from star wars and everyone always remembers where it comes from. The film normally appeals to the audience before the film has even come out because many people watch the trailers before they watch the movies  The story line usually really hooks and intrigues the audience.

 

 

Archetypes in films for instance in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory we have many archetypes for example Charlie is a very good child sometimes his character is described as a goody two shoes where as Veruca Salt is completely the opposite she is a very annoying girl is very high maintenance and expects lots of things of her parents as soon as she sees something she wants it such as the golden egg  towards the end of the film and she throws a massive tantrum. another example of an archetype is Augustus Gloop who is very glutton and lazy. as he goes round the factory he wants all the chocolate for himself and if he had it his way he would not let anyone touch it!

s way he wouldn't let anyone touch it! 




Different archetypes:


The Chief-  Gandalf from lord of the rings
The Bad boy- The Joker from batman
The best friend- Rowley from diary of the wimpy kid
The lost soul- Anakin sky walker from star wars
The charmer-  jack dawson from Titanic
The professor- DR Frankenstein from hotel Transylvania 2
The swashbuckler- Peeta Malone from hunger games
The warrior- Achilles from troy

gravity review

Big science fiction films are all the rage this year (Oblivion, Elysium, Pacific Rim...) and Gravity is finally one worth watching. From the trailers I had no idea what to expect. George Clooney and Sandra Bullock floating around in space for two hours eventually became my best guess. I rushed the film at the Toronto International Film Festival and when someone said they were showing it in 3D, I was half tempted to leave the line. I hate 3D movies, they give me awful headaches and I don't see the point of them. As soon as Gravity started, I changed my mind.

The 3D definitely adds something to the film. The opening shot of earth and space is absolutely beautiful. The film starts up fast enough. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are both out doing repairs on the spaceship when Houston warns them the Russians blew up their own satellite and accidentally destroyed every other satellite there is. Debris is coming their way and they have to get back to earth as soon as possible. Of course, from the trailers we see that debris does his them, and without a spaceship they must find another way home.

George Clooney basically plays George Clooney in a space suit (a funny self-loving character also often played by Robert Downey Jr) and Sandra Bullock plays a doctor who was trained a few months for this mission only. George gets very little screen time but Sandra shines throughout the whole film. Despite her being alone, I would say there is quite a lot of action in the film. She's alone out there and you feel you are too. The film takes you in space and it feels claustrophobic to be there. It keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Throughout the film, you see Sandra's character growing as well. Not only is she trying to get back home, but she's finding the will to do so as well.

The film is a visual masterpiece. For once, the 3D definitely adds something to the experience. You get the depth of field you need to truly experience the movie and feel as through you're right there with Sandra. She gives an absolutely stunning performance, acting to absolutely nothing, yet always being right on the spot.

If you get a chance to see Gravity in theatres, go for it, especially if you see it in 3D (even if you usually hate 3D, believe me, it's worth it.) Alfonso Cuarón has outdone himself with this film, it's definitely a must see for sci-fi lovers.

the maze runner review

I recently watched this movie called "The Maze Runner", a scientific thriller film directed by Wes Ball. The main character Thomas wakes up in a rusty elevator and has no memory. He is in a community full of strangers in a place known as "The Glade". The place is enclosed by a massive maze and there is no escape. Thomas and his crew face a lot of challenges but they learn the ins and outs of the maze and finally find an escape route. The movie is filled with great suspense and kept me entertained at all times. The story opens with Thomas who wakes up in an elevator which was filled with water for a couple of hours. He is rescued by a gang of unfamiliar teenagers in a place called "The Glade". Thomas is unable to remember anything about himself. Alby, the leader of the group tells Thomas the condition is normal and he should remember his name soon. Alby shows Thomas around and how the Glade works. Thomas wonders whats beyond the maze and whether there is a way to escape. But he is warned by Alby not to go in the maze. While learning about The Glade, he meets Chuck and they both become friends. In the night there is a celebration to welcome Thomas. Every month a new person arrives and supplies come. Newt, a second in command and gardener tells Thomas the maze keeps changing and the only way to escape is to go through the maze. The Runners are the only one that are allowed to enter the maze. They plan for an escape route in the day and return back before nightfall. One of the boys end up with a fight with another boy named Gally, during which Thomas remembers his name. The next morning when Thomas is gathering supplies in the woods he is attacked by Ben, who has been stung by grievers; deadly monsters that roam around the maze in the night. The boys decide to banish Ben and leave him in the maze to die. On the other hand, one of the boys Alby is stung and unconscious. Minho, drags Alby to the entrance gate of the maze but is unable to make it through. Seeing this Thomas runs inside the maze and helps. The three boys survive at night with Thomas successfully killing the griever, and they return the next day with Alby which kept the other boys astonished. A few days later a new girl arrives Teresa, with a note in her hand "She is the final one". On the other hand Thomas accompanies Minho to the maze and discovers an escape route. After finding an escape route, all the boys follow Thomas inside the maze.With lots of twists and turns towards in the end, the boys finally made it through and they find an escape route. They discover that they were living in the world with a fatal disease known as The Flare. I really liked the photography of the film. The best part of The Maze Runner is the maze itself. The way the maze is built in a 3D form with creepy noises and monsters living inside it. Another aspect which I really enjoyed was the action pack sequence. The action pack sequence shown in the film is great. Most of the times there are fighting scenes with Thomas defeating the griever which is very entertaining to watch. Most of the action scenes were amazing and it seemed the grievers were real. One of my favorite actors is Thomas; the main protagonist of the film did a great job. Although, he faced many obstacles on the way but he acted bravely and went through fear. He also put himself in danger to help his friend. I also really liked the suspense and action of the movie. The one thing I learned from this movie was how courage and bravery were shown. With an unfamiliar place with strangers, and the will to escape this prison with challenges. I learned that don't lose hope and be prepared to face any challenges that come across. This movie is mainly to the teenagers as of today many teens like to watch movies of suspense and action. I would not recommend this movie for children because there is a lot of fear and violence. A lot of dead bodies as most boys while were crushed and killed by the griever. In my opinion, I think this is a great and interesting movie filled with a lot of action and suspense. I would rate this movie a 5/5 because it kept be entertained from the beginning to the end. The photography and the visual effects were spectacular and eye-catching.

the hunger games review

The hunger games is a thrilling and superbly acted film. the hunger games captures the dramatic violence, raw emotion and ambitious scope of its source novel. the dystopian universe could have been more well explored, while the shaky camera in the action scenes makes it a bit hard to follow what is happening on screen. Still this is an exhilarating movie that benefits a lot from charismatic characters and great performances. Also this film creates an atmosphere unlike anything you've seen before. when Katniss' sister Prim is chosen as a tribute for the 74th annual hunger games, she will not have it, she volunteers herself to compete. the hungers games is like a battle to death 12 districts across the world compete in the hunger games, it is a televised event that happens out of pure chance many of the contenders have been trained, while Katniss is forced to rely on her hunting knowledge and coaching instructions as she meets Peeta her feelings for the game change, when she finds out that he is in love with her 24 contestants are forced into battle, only one comes out alive. the acting is brilliant by the entire cast especially Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson who play Katniss and Peeta, their emotions run on a high throughout the film I was on the edge of my seat the entire way through although it does have its fair share of clichés of course and those are minor faults.
