Analysis of Jeepers Creepers Video Box Cover I have chosen to analyse the front and back of the video box cover of 'Jeepers Creepers'. In my opinion, Jeepers Creepers is a horror and a teenage slasher movie as the paramount colours used are red and black which is symbolic for danger, blood and death. The images, which are used, are extreme close-ups of the two main characters. (which bits of them? What are they doing?) There is also a central image showing the two characters shining a torch down a tunnel, this could also be an enigmatic code as the audience asks what will they find down the tunnel? I have also noticed that behind them, there is a yellow background, which looks like a sunset, which may be symbolic for the end of a life. (It also means that night is coming, and horrors usually take place in the dark) Also, the characters are important as their facial expressions are telling us that they're scared of something, and therefore this reinforces that it is a horror film. Also, the mode of address is direct, and therefore is interacting with the audience. There are no star names on the front and therefore this may mean that the film is low-budget, the film company is Helicon SK which is not very well know, and also draws me to the conclusion that the film has a low-budget. However, the only focus is on the executive producer, Francis Ford Coppola, as they have also produced previous films that have been successful, for example, Sleepy Hollow and Apocalypse Now, this would also increase audience's interest in the film. Also, on the front are critic's reviews, and the words that will increase audience interest are in... ... middle of paper ... ... discovery. The certificate is 15, and therefore this may be around the age of the target audience. I think this because the main characters in the film are teenagers, and therefore they will be able to relate to them more than if they were older. This would also appeal to audiences who enjoy horror films, and are fans of the director or producer. A decent basic analysis, you could also consider its similarity to Blairwitch - it sounds as if it uses a lot of references to this, without actually mentioning it - how does this set up audience expectations? When doing these sorts of textual analyses, always ask yourself - why? - why have the different elements been chosen? Although don't cut down on the what? as this is the bit that people often don't do so well, and your descriptions are pretty accurate and solid.
Rolf de Herr’s 2002 film The Tracker represented some human beings in the past who have been extremely naïve, barbarous, and bigoted when it came to dealing with Indigenous Australians. This film portrayed white racism in the characters of the Fanatic, the Veteran, and at first the Recruit until he becomes stronger and eventually changes his demeanor towards the Aboriginal people. Even though the Tracker experiences immense hardship throughout the movie he was always two steps ahead of his bosses since he was very familiar with the land and was also able to outsmart his superior officers. The Tracker is a gloomy film which presents the dark past of Australia that must never be forgotten.

I now look at film in a new light. I don’t just look at the surface. I dig deeper and watch for everything.
As the classic household back in the Western days, the women were responsible to cook and clean. It was frowned upon for a lady to be out doing men’s work, and a lady to be out on the hunt for a killer was unspoken of. That is why Henry Hathaway’s 1969 western film, True Grit, stands out so much. From a traditional western film, a woman is typically found inside of the house. Their duties are cooking, cleaning, and watching the children. In the presence of, one must be utmost polite and courteous. In the film True Grit, one of the main characters, Mattie, whose role is played by Kim Darby, is a young girl who’s bound and determined to catch and see to the hanging of her father’s killer. Mattie goes about this by hiring the West’s most tough and rugged U.S. Marshal, “Rooster” Cogburn play the one and only John Wayne. One might think this would be a typical story line where a young lady hires a U.S. Marshall to capture her father’s killer,
The black experience is one that always needs to be told. There is always a new story because much of Black history has been omitted from American History. More recently, Singer/Producer John Legend inked a deal with WGN to develop a dramatic series on this very story. Underground, a black slavery experience, became WGN’s highest rated series in the station’s history, outpacing WGN America’s 2015-2016 primetime average by 508 percent in total viewers and 1,005 percent among adults 18-49 in live-plus-seven viewing (DVR). Netflix’s 13TH, a documentary which tackles race and mass incarceration, was the first non-fiction film to open the prestigious NY Film Festival in its 54-year history. There is already talk about it being an Oscar nominee. Currently, the American public is about 40 percent minority and that’s increasing by about half a percent every year. The viewing audience

The Three Here’s for Cooking The romantic comedy, Today’s Special, expressed the worries of Indian parents becoming at ease. Also, expressed the struggles a parent faces in search of a better life, the passion and dedication going unnoticed in the work field, and the connection between friends, a lover, and family. However, the film centered its attention more on the development of Samir’s “cold” cooking within the Indian food, with the help of Akbar. In addition, the main actors in the film looked the part and associated with the main idea of the culture of an Indian family. For instance, Samir’s appearance showed he had drifted away from his family’s culture and developed a professional understanding and love for the cooking industry.
As far as the movie goes, I have a feeling that the film is going to end with a tragedy. Alice Wu, the director of Saving Face, presents various conflicts in the film that involves of family, love and mostly about saving reputation. Characters have a lot of challenges where Wu uses motifs like silence and soap opera to give out sadness and bring audiences into a sad zone. When Wil, the protagonist of the film tells her mother known as Ma that she is a gay and Ma says, "I am a healthy mother and my daughter cannot be a gay. " Then Wil says to Ma, "Then I shouldn't be your daughter." and follows with silence. It is the saddest and heartbreaking thing to say to a mother and gives a sense of tragic. The silence after the conversation is like a

The formal characteristics of the work are crucial in their produced effect upon the audience. It is a four panel screen landscape, whose size of 7354 cubic meters is made referent in the title. Despite its monumental size, the work does not function as an oppressive weapon but rather a positive force, one that is able to free us from our inhibitions. Rist frequently experiments with the various ways in which video can be projected onto surfaces. Though she does not push the technical boundaries of the video medium medium, she nonetheless pushes the limits within video projection. Requiring seven different projectors to be linked seamlessly, her work is a technical achievement for this feat alone. A large circular couch occupies the center of the exhibition space. Its shape is meant to be reminiscent of the human iris, but also bring to mind the iris of the camera as well.

As a fan of cinema, I was excited to do this project on what I had remembered as a touching portrait on racism in our modern society. Writer/Director Paul Haggis deliberately depicts his characters in Crash within the context of many typical ethnic stereotypes that exist in our world today -- a "gangbanger" Latino with a shaved head and tattoos, an upper-class white woman who is discomforted by the sight of two young Black kids, and so on -- and causes them to rethink their own prejudices during their "crash moment" when they realize the racism that exists within themselves.
All of us most probably wish and strive to work towards a certain dream, goal, or utter accomplishment. When so is done, we experience satisfaction and happiness. Ups and downs are bound to be encountered throughout our journey, however, once we reach our goals, immense awards shower the hard work which has lead us to our dreams. In Joe Johnson's "October Sky", just is shown with a dynamic and shifting emotional environment with suspense and exitement, as part of the film adaption of the award winning memoir "Rocket Boys" (also known as October Sky) by Homer Hickam, Jr. Based on a true story, this biographical motion picture follows Homer Hickam, Jr, a coal miner's son who was inspired by the launch of Sputnik in
Gladiator (2000) is an action drama about a Roman general that is betrayed by his country and is forced to fight in the Colosseum. This particular scene, which runs for approximately 5 minutes, is the aftermath of the fight scene between Maximus, the betrayed general, and Commodus, the jealous emperor who betrayed him. This scene is not only significant because it is the concluding scene of the film, but also because it represents the end of Maximus’s enslavement and his coming to peace with dying.
