Genre Research: Bad Boys For Life


 Bad Boys For Life staring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence is about the wife and son of a Mexican drug lord. That is set to kill all those involved in his trial and imprisonment. When an detective is hurt in the line of duty the big guns are asked for. But the big guns are not use to the idea of working with a team and have to adjust of working with others without getting killed. An element that I have want to use that I see in this movie is the struggles against incredible odds. In this movie there are gun battles and difficult action moves that are happening all at the same time. Yes, there are bullets being thrown around. But in my final task there won't be. There will be basketballs thrown around in place of the bullets. An element that I like in this movie is the plot. With a Mexican drug lord, there are body guards everywhere. So, with them everywhere, they have to make sure that whoever is in their way is taken care of or dead. And that is the goal but it isn't achieved. Also, I love the use of action mixed with a little comedy. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are known for their comedy lines. So, with them doing all the action moves and having some comedic lines makes the movie more interesting. The element that I didn't like in this movie was the evil villain. Why did it have to be the wife and son of the Mexican drug lord and not just his son. But I guess it added more dynamics in the movie. It was great overall.

Research blog: Music Video Conventions

I am doing a one minute music video to the song You've got a friend in me by Randy Newman. As stated in my introduction this is the theme song to the movie Toy Story. The audience that would be most interested in this commercial are people that enjoy Disney movies. Such as family friendly people, children, young adults, adults, the elderly and everyone in between. When I first watched Toy story, I believe it was in the cafeteria of my elementary school and I loved it. There are many productions for instance Toy Story 1, 2, 3, and 4. And in each production the song You've got a friend in me is played as a ritual. When people automatically hear this song they usually assume on the spot Toy Story. This is a friendly and comforting number because this song is interpreting that having a friend that is there for you is superior. In the words of Jim's Poetry, "Your friend will help you and guide you through life when there are tough times. That you will be friends no matter w...

Genre Research: Drama

  In this PowerPoint, I described the genre drama. I provided everything common about drama in this PowerPoint. Such as lighting, angles, movement, mis-en-scene and sound. Mis-en-scene means placing on stage in French. Which provides costumes, lighting, acting, makeup, props, and setting. In this PowerPoint I did not work alone. I had a partner and we did amazing with this assignment. We also added in our favorite elements of drama and our least favorite. There are examples of some good drama films included. The elements of drama are the plot, theme, characters etc. These make a drama film good. If one of these elements are missing, it could ruin the film of being a drama film. Drama is a complex genre and is my favorite. It can contain comedy, horror, thrill, action etc. I believe it will forever be great. I think it is possible to prove that there is some type of drama in every film. It can be as little as a penny to as big as the statue of liberty. Drama is a dynamic that cannot...
