First draft of notes and quotes

NOTES Writer , quote, links , my opinion and summary Media form(this is for the whole movie) ·          The visual are dark which make the actors/actress more suspicious ·          The lighting is very dark for most of the scenes. The daytime scenes gritty ·          The props of an action/thriller film are very important as it would identify the genre to the audiences.

“You turn on the television, and violence is there. You go to a movie, and violence is there.” (Emanuel Tanay) 1 What effects do violent films such as ‘Deadpool’ have on audiences? Cinematic violence has been a part of films since movie making started. Nowadays, watching most films with most genres, there is a high possibility of seeing some sort of violence in the film. The hyper-reality in post-modern films such as “Deadpool” (2016) shows no consequences for violent acts in the films. This is stereotypical in all superhero films as we never see the protagonist getting in trouble. Similarly, in “Deadpool” (2016), the violence is protruding in a comedic way that uses violence to fuel the protagonist characterisation. Michael Haneke once said in “Violence and the Media”: "The western, crime, war, adventure, and horror genres define themselves in no small part through violence." 2 This shows us that violence has had a huge influence on these genres that now are depended on...
