Kick Ass- Eassy

After watching Kick-Ass you need to write about the film in relation to the 7 key areas of representation: Gender, Age, Ethnicity, Sexuality, Social Class, Physical Ability/ Disability, Regional Identity.

Also refer to the 4 key areas of Textual Analysis: Camera Shots, Angle, Movement and Composition ,Editing ,Sound, Mise-en-Scène.


In this essay I am gong to right about how the film Kick Ass has in relation with 7 key areas of representation: Gender, Age, Ethnicity, Sexuality, Social Class, Physical Ability/ Disability, Regional Identity.
It is directed by Mathew Vaughn and written by Jane Goldman. It was released in March 2010 staring Aaron Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz and Mark Strong. Kick Ass is one of the most successful British films to be released this year. It was based on a Marvel comic written by Stan Lee. Matthew Vaughan did have some problems with the script, because he wanted to have a girl as the main character but he wasn't allowed to do this as it would of been wrong from the comic.

Dave Lizewski is the superhero (Kick Ass) but before he decided to become his Kick Ass he was the typical geek who not many people like but lots of people liked bullying him. He would always fantasize about his dream girl Katie Deauxma even though he knew this was never going to happen. But after his accident of being Kick Ass for the first time there was a roomer about him being gay. Because he told the paramedics not to tell anybody about the Kick Ass suit. It was only then when his dream girl Katie Deauxnia started to notice him. The only reason why she was interested in him was because she likes the gay guys and of course Dave was not going to turn down his dream girl. And after they spent some time together they were becoming best of friends however this made it twice as hard for Dave to tell her that he is straight. Later in the film Dave tells her that he is Kick Ass, she then falls straight in love with him. So i think being a superhero is a big advantage in relationships.

Kick Ass is a teenage lad and as a teenage lad we all go through a stage of wanting to be a superhero but the difference is that he actually goes and does it. But of course he can't actually just become a superhero. But that doesn't stop him from buying his own super suit. On his first attempt of being a superhero he gets stabbed and hit by a car. After coming out of the hospital he had metal plates in him and nerve damage but little did he now that was the making of his super power. Dave mite not have a super power but it is the closest he is going to get to one in this work.

The ethnicity in Kick Ass is that Dave Lizewski is the geek but he is good however the black body guide is the seen as the cool one in the film but he is bad. So it is stereotypical when the black body guide is cool because he is big and has a bazooka and when Dave is a glasses wearing skinny, white boy that reads comics he is seen as the geek , stereotypically in the film. I think that Dave is a working class citizen in the film as he live in a terrace house which in America is a average working class house. I think that Kick Ass tries and makes him to be like Peter Parker in Spider Man. With him starting out to be a geek then winning the girl of his dreams and becomes cool by the end of the film. Dave’s Mother dies which is what happens in Spider Man with Peter Parkers uncle. They keep on saying the quote ‘ with great power comes great reasonability’ which is off Spider Man. This means That he has the power to change things and he has the reasonability for it because he has a super power. But in Kick Ass they say ‘no power comes no reasonability’. I think this means they have no power but they are still doing heroic thing. So I think that quote is trying to say is normal people can do heroic things without powers.
The physical ability of Kick Ass it a typical geek. For example when he is trying to jump across the buildings and he can’t. But when you see Hit Girl jumping across then it shows that she is more of a superhero than Kick Ass is. Also when Big Daddy is fighting them bad guys I the were house it shows the physical ability of him is much more than Kick Ass because he just gets beat up unlike Big Daddy.
The camera work in Kick Ass is very good because there is lots of close up of the heroes and when he is on the jet pack
Mathew Vaughn makes it feel like that you are there. The sound work is good when Hit Girl is killing all of Frank D'Amico men and there is quite cheerful music on. The mise en scene has got a good meaning to it in this film. I think that it tells us that anybody can be a hero if they want.

soloist marketing miss elger


The soloist was aimed at the audience of older female audience. Media executives say the pricing for a 30-second commercial in the show is now $1.4 million lower than the initial $1.8 million ABC was asking from TV advertisers before the economy took a turn in the fourth quarter last year. The academy of television lifted the long rooted ban on movie commercials this year with the hope that studios

Spooks Representation of Ethnicity

In this clip Danny is represented as a very strong character which is unknow, because stereotypicly a black person wouldn't be seen in this way however i do think he plays it very well. He could be seen as wise, this is because the way he speaks down to the terroist and realised that he could have been in the same position that he is because he was born some place different. I think he says this because of his colour, that he was more likely to be in that position than the terroist. He is also seen as selfless. This is because  he gives his life to save his partner when she was already at gun point by the terroist. He is also seen as the hero because he stands up to the terroist even now he is tied down to the chair he says that 'if i wasn't tired in this chair, i would be standing in your face'.

some of the lighting was used very well because the terroistwere in the dark most of the time symbolising that they are the villians. They also have the windows in the back ground that looks like jail bars show that they are prisoners. There is alot of music tension in the clip showing that they mite be middle easten because of the Islame music in the back ground like they are just about to pray. There is also a Wale nosies in the back ground, i don't really now why they do this but i like to think that the noise goes with the oraying music in a way.

The reaction of when Danny get shot shows that he was a well loved guy. I can tell this by the reaction from all the people when he died. For example one of the guy's phone just slips from his hand showing that he is gob smaked. Which a ditffernet reaction to the women who cries strate the way.

I think that Danny wins in the end of this scene because he get's the terrorist to change his mind in the end even tho he dies.

Let the right one in

Let the right one in

In this film there is many different ways they have used props to catch the realism of the effect of dead bodies. For example when the bodies are being hung and when the arm and head gets dropped into the pool but the only criticism I would say is I think there would be more blood coming for the head and arm when they are put into the pool. The mise en scene in this film is not like any other vampire films that you’re normally see because stereotypically in a vampire film you see them with big teeth and some English guy trying to slay it but in this film there is not much of this. She is sort of a loner whom I think askes the question of whether there was more of them or just a freak of nature.

The use of sound in the film brings lots of tension. But sometimes there would be no music at all I think that they did this because they couldn’t capture the emotion of the seen when filming it because of the unnatural creature the vampire. This also backs up my point of her being a loner because that they don’t have any music for her saying that she is one of a kind.
Some of the camera work was well done by making her look pale almost like she is dead. But when she feeds her colour comes back because of the blood she has just drunk. There is a lot of close up shots of her after she had just feed and showing all the blood around her mouth.

The representation of the two characters shows that they are both very lonely but when they are together they are the best of friends and would do anything for each other. It shows that Eli is the villian because see kills people but she is also the victim. this nis because she is lonely and hates her self for killing people. However Oscar is seen as the hero but when he is helping a vampire that kills people how does that make him the hero. I think that the repersentation of these two are best friends not matter who or what they are.

Story line
In 2005, the only thing hurting Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez more than his face from a recent bike accident was his pressing need for story ideas. That is when he discovers Nathaniel Ayers, a mentally ill, homeless street musician who possesses extraordinary talent, even though his half-broken instruments. Inspired by his story, Lopez writes an acclaimed series of articles about Ayers and attempts to do more to help both him and the rest of the underclass of LA have a better life. However, Lopez's good intentions run headlong in the hard realities of the strength of Ayers' personal demons and the larger social injustices facing the homeless. Regardless, Lopez and Ayers must find a way to conquer their deepest anxieties and frustrations to hope for a brighter future for both of them

Critical reaction

Overall, the film has received somewhat mixed reviews. Based on 120 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an overall rating 55% (considered "Rotten") of reviews being positive with an average score of 6/10.[6] At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, the film received an average score of 61 out of 100, which indicates "generally favorable reviews", based on 32 reviews.[7] Reviewers generally praise the performances by Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx, but comment on the film's lack of narrative focus in attempting to tell a convincing or engaging story due to the somewhat "uneven" direction by director Wright.[8] Many felt that the project was a bit of a "mismatch" for Joe Wright, and felt it was one of his weakest films to date, following the success of his adaptations of Pride and Prejudice (2005) and Atonement (2007).

movie work


Evaluation

What went wrong during the production?

We came across several problems during the filming of the short film, some of which only arose after we'd gotten to the editing stage. For one, we couldn't actually film the door itself opening, due to it being rather dark outside, and the shadow over the outside door handle being too dark to film. Also, at one point, Tom's head with the camera appears in the reflection of the door.

What problems did we fix, and how?

To fix the door handle problem, we came back on a lighter day and reshot it and the scene of the guy looking through the door - however, this created another problem of there being inconsistent clothing between scenes, a problem that we didn't have time to fix (as it would have probably required re-shooting the whole thing).

What could we have done better?

We could have made sure to keep the same clothing between scenes by making sure to bring the specific clothes on the days of filming, and we could have avoided getting Tom's head in the reflection by adjusting the lighting of the room, or even just having him move out of the way whilst we were shooting. In the future, lighting and clothing will be things we'll need to take into consideration when shooting, to avoid these problems from happening again.

We also need to censor what we say, apparently, because we had the whole scene revolving around a single line, but it was too "saucy" for the teachers so we had to remove it, which made the entire thing seem way too random.

Presentation


General Class Notes
  • The attachment of famous actors, directors, etcetera. will generally raise the popularity of the film upon release, and will draw people to watch it.
  • It's very difficult to judge the price of film production before the film is actually made or even written - it'd make more sense to make the film first, and hope that you can raise the money afterwards.
  • The level between cheap and attractive should be monitored - for example, cheap, yet relatively well known actors, such as Johnny Vegas, will help to attract a specific audience yet also keep within the budget.
  • The use of great directors and the like (judged based on past projects) can help to make sure that the film is a success.
  • The advertising for a film, more often than not, costs more than the film itself (it's around £175,000 for a 30 second advert).
  • The budget to be spent on props is usually between 1 to 10% of the overall budget.
  • Synergy marketing is the joining of two products in advertising for the mutual benefit of both companies - such as the Pampers advert with Toy Story characters.
  • When talking about rights, self copyrighting should be taken into account, in order to protect the franchise later on.

Professor Xavier


Professor Xavier is praylzed from the waist down. It is show in all the X-men films properly that he never moves his legs. The charicter is represented as a wise, respected man which everybody looks up to (how ironic). It is realistic because they show him as a teacher to every body eles and him showing a good example even when he is praylzed.

Carefree
A carefree look, that can be linked to sports because it seems as if they are active and/or healthy.

Practise
This includes a model consentrating on something so their eyes will be open and their mouth will be closed(but not tightly).

Seductive
This look has the model having her eyes slightly closed and show small expressions but bigger enough to see. The look should also show confident.
 
Comic
This look has the model looking very histerical. and it will often be exaggerated in order to make the audience's view of it as comical as possible.

Catalogue
This look has the model having a very neutral expression on her face, for example dummy. This could be in any postion but its more common to have their eyes wide open and having a smile on her face. But the look has to be plane showing that the personality has been removed.

Media Essay

Im going to compare how Shane Meadow's 'This is England' and Edger Wrights 'Hot Fuzz' target a British audience. The directors for Hot Fuzz and This is England are both British and have used their own experences in their films. Hot Fuzz is a british film owned by Working Title which is a pert of a group of companies. Working Tiltle is owned by Universal and that is owned by Vivendi, which are considered to be a main stream company and has abroad apple however This is England is also a British film but is produced by a company called Warp Film. This company is indepentent. Which means they are self govened and have to rase heir own funding for the film because they are not owned by a bigger company unlike Working Tiltle.

The director both used their own experences in there life and put them in the film. Edger Wright used his own judgment based on personality and his children dreams. Edger Wright made the genra a spoot actor crime. The didn't want to do another horro because it wouldn't be as good compared to Shawn of the Dead because it was one of the best funny horros of all time. He made the film as himself as the target audience however some people would say that this is a very dangerous idea but is has worked for him. Wright picked on Bad Boys 2 and Point Break because it is easy whatching unlike some films. Bad Boys 2 is action packed with lots of humour in aswell this is called homoerotic, he gets the idea from Bad Boys 2 for his film Hot Fuzz. Wright also uses this methods called intertextualility, this means that he is using text from other text. Shane Meadows started his career in short films until the 90s he started proper films. But he did go back a step when he made a film called Dead Man's Shoes. Meadows also used his own experences in his life into his films like Egder Wright. When Meadows made This is England he wanted it to be a 15 , because his target audience  was for teenages but was made an 18. However some concils are over turning the film This is England as an 18 and changing it to a 15. Meadows makes the film a social realism film. The thing that makes it so real is that thing that happen in This is England happen all around the country. Wrights Hot Fuzz has alot has alot of well known actors such as Simon  Pegg and Nick Frost, which have done alot of things together. However Meadows This is England there is mostly non known actors that are not in Hollywood. For example  Stephen Graham, Perry Benson, Andrew Ellis and Thomas Turgoose. But Thomas Turgoose has a little story behind him. It was his first film role every and in the audition they took a liking to him stright the way.

The stock actors in Hot Fuzz are Jim Broard, Bill Nighty, Simon Pegg and Nick Forst. In This is England there are four stock actors Vicky McClare, Stephen  Graham, Jo hartley and Andrew Shion. The reason why Shane Meadows didn't want Hollywood actors was because it would seem more realistic but also it wasn't a high budget film. The stereotype in Hot Fuzz is that alot of police offices will do anything to look good and that they dont do anything but go in the pub also how the countryside is ment to be nice and carm.
In This is England the stereotype is that they are all skin heads which stereotyipicly means that they are hard and nonemotionable but one of them says that he 'feels bad now' when they were bullying Shane. The location Where Hot Fuzz is based is London and Shanford Glostershire which however is't a real place but they made it for the film. In This is England the film was based in Nottinhamshire but was filmed iin Gyrimbi. The camera work and editing in Hot Fuzz has alot of single shot and single close up for the audience to catch the effect of the film. But in This is England the camera work has alot of amachor shots and wiht the editing looks like the film was made in the 90s but was made in 2006. Shane Meadows did this to catch the effect of the film and make it look older unlike Edger Wright in Hot Fuzz whereas he didn't.

Both of the films Hot Fuzz by Edger Wright and This is England by Shane Meadows both target a british audience. Hot Fuzz relates to the British audience by using lots of British actors, British director and based in British. The way that This is England relates to a British audience is by it being basced and filmed in Britan. I think that they both target a British audience by both of the reling on the same age group and culture.

Shameless-Representation (sexuality and regional identity)

How are regional identity and sexuality represented in the opening sequence of Shameless episode 1?

Stereotype- The stereotype of the Shameless family is the tipical middle class stereotype. which live on each other and are very close as a family and get by on respect on each other. You would expect a rough middle class family be good but to be causing trouble however in Shameless one of the lads is gay and has hidden it for a while.

Mise en sence- Tere is alot of shot of Frank passed out because the is the drunk of the family but also because he is the narrator of Shameless. But when Frank is narrayting it will focuse on the charictars that the is talking about. And there older sister is showing lips how to put on a comdom showing that even she knows that they are all trouble makers and sexurly active which makes it more surprizing hyow one of them is gay.

Music- The opening music is alot of people singing at the same time which i think is also saying that Shameless is about all members of the family. But Franks voice is over the top when he is recaping or describing what is happening.

Camera work- There is alot of different shots e.g. close, long, hand held ect. But there is some shots that when Frank is passed out the camera is acting like he is Frank looking at every one like he is watching them.

Max Fischer

The question is Max a stereotype of a teenager?  Well I don’t think he is because the typical stereotype of a teen ager doesn’t go to a school that good and be a rubbish student. The only way he gets into this school is all the activities he does for the school which he should be using this time for his work but instead he does his activities. He is founder or president to most clubs or sports in the school. He also wears his uniform for all of his clubs that he does; I have two explanations about this. The first one is that he is the only one wearing the blazer and he wants to stand out also his poor and can not afford for all of the equipment the use. There is a clip of him collecting coins I think it connects with him being poor. He makes friends with younger kids because he is poor he thinks that he is not good enough for the kids his age. There is also a clip of him bee keeping I think this is a metaphor for the saying as busy as a bee because he is organising all of these clubs he doesn’t have time to do his work which is why he is the worst student. Which comes to the question why is he in this school.

Evaluation of Magazine cover

We looked at some magazine covers and see how they could be improved and more apealing to teenages.

So miss elger set us the task to make are own magazine cover and contets page on photo shop. We were told to plan the cover and the contents page on a peice of A3 paper, and were to put our cover lines and masthead. After planning we were told to take a mid shot of a person to put on the front of the magazine and put it on photo shop. When it was on photo shop we had to cut it out and include the cover line and masthead then get onto the the contents page after. With the contents page i just put some cover lines in and picture around them.

By doing this task i learnt how to use alot of the basics on photo shop as i had no idea how to use it before. Now i have more confidence using it now.

What do we learn about the family?

We first see shot we seein this sence is the hole family at the dinner table with the daughter in the middle. Which i think is showing that the only reqason why they are still togther is because of the child.
You can tell that the family is not very close because the lester only speaks to them when there is something wrong with him also Carolyn and are Lester are the furvist away from each other this also represents distance in the family. Carolyn goes through the same routeen every day when eating her dinner showing that she does'nt like change. When they are all at the dinner table Jane is the only peron in the room hat has light on her face showing the audience she is the symbol of the rose in the family, also she is sat right behind the roses on the table more evidence showing that she is the rose of the family. Lester is also shone with bad posture when sitting down i think that this shows signs of weekness and over the years he has been controlled by Carolyn and formed bad posture. There is alot of photos around the house showing that they wasn't like this and something must of happened to make them lose their closness.
The movment of the camera of the first shot when coming in the room is fare away showing the hole family but as the scene on the camera moves closer to the making the audience fell like thay are spying on the family. The long shots in the scene is where they start but get closer and there is a varitiy of astablishing shot.
There is diegetic in the scene which are sounds that are part of the film and non diegetic shots which are sounds that are not apart of the film. There is enthsis with the slow music to catch the moment. The music that Carolyn was playing is called Bail Hai from South Africa which is from 1949 and shows that she is very old fationed.

In this film there are lots of signs that show lester is trapped and being
controlled by his family. For example the first shot of the film is the camera
in birds eye veiw looking down on lester.There is him in the shower but the shot
is him in the shower with the glass seperating them. There is his looking at his wife
from the inside with the camera on the outside but the window was representing bar
to show that hi is trapped. And finallly there is a reflection of him in his computter with
the numbers in the shape of bars.
There is also so evidence showing that his is trapped. For example his wife is
waiting for him to get in the car aswere it is usally the other way around strerotipicly.
His wife is driving the car and he is sitting in the back of the car holding his suitcase
like a child.
There is also some evidence of what the target audenice is Americans because when he
