Notes and quote fight scene

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YI-yMivF9X0 In the first second of the clip, we see a close up of an old fashion recorder. The audience can hear two things at this moment, first being the sound coming from the speakers and the diegetic sound of cars around him. The music played is Salt and Pepper “shoop” that came out in 1993 which is the same year that the first Deadpool comic came out. Even though we haven’t had an establishing shot yet, audience would still be able to denote the setting being a motorway. This shot slowly pans out to a medium shot allowing audience to see Deadpools feet dangling. Audience who are fans of the comics would recognise the costumes worn and connote that it is Deadpool. The next shot (00.03) is with a sound bridge from the speakers to bird-eye-view of Deadpool sitting on the side of the motorway. How this shot is framed is very important as it establish the setting being a motorway as well as confirming that Deadpool is the character shown. After thi...

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. These props are enigma codes that help audiences understand the scenes better. For example, if a gun is pulled out, they would be able to connote that something dangerous and exciting is about to happen ·         C-Most of the clothing warn in the film is modern and casual. The body suit warns by Dead- pool is the same costume that is warn in the comic. This will attract the fans from the comic as they would already know...

Critical Investigation: Project proposal

Image
To what extent is the media to blame and are violent films such as "Deadpool" influencing audiences? Angle How will you approach this question? E.g.: What impact are these increasingly violent games having on their audience? Is this simply a moral panic of the 21st century or is further regulation required? I will approach this question in a few different angles to see if the media is the only ones to blames or is there something else that is contribution to this. Are violent films really making people more violent and to what extent? I will also at talk about if family, film, society, metal health or video games are contributing or not. As well as this, I would talk about if gender, age, ethnicity and social class play a role in it or not. I will also include that Deadpool hasn’t encourage any violent crime even though it has explicit content. Hypothesis What is your current opinion or viewpoint on the media debate? That is: what will you be testing thro...

Critical investigation tutorial and learner response

·          Very good Ignite learner response – you  reflect well on the strengths and weaknesses and I think there’s real potential to your text and topic. ·          However, you still need a lot more clarity in terms of how you are approaching this issue – therefore the title, angle and hypothesis in your project proposal will be vital. ·          Will you be suggesting the media is responsible for copycat crime or anti-social behaviour? If so, I’m a little concerned about your choice of text – are there any examples of violent acts linked to Deadpool? ·          I would consider writing a strong argument the other way – a passionate defence of the media and particularly violent films. Quentin Tarantino would be a good person to look at here – loads of stuff online with him and the violent movies debate. ·  ...
