As I was scrolling and clicking away on YouTube, engulfing myself in trailers for upcoming movies, my eyes caught a thumbnail and title that brought a tingling sensation in my fingers. I was ready to immediately click the video and see if this moment was real. “O-M-G,” I said to myself as the video began to play. “It’s real, it’s really, really real,” I continued in a satisfying shock. The action, the humor, and the star studded cast the trailer presented drew my attention in like no other trailer that day had. “I have to go see this movie!” I eagerly anticipated as I swayed to the beat of the song they had played in the background, “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns N’ Roses. The video concluded in big, capitalized, orange ombré letters JUMANJI: …show more content…
“Well, it was made obvious that it wasn’t trying to be an exact replication of the original. It had a modern twist, but still in a way stayed true to the essence of the original. In other words, I give it two thumbs up,” I replied to her statement. “I’ll give it a thumb and a half,” she quickly followed. “What the heck is a ‘thumb up and a half’?” I wondered. “It’s like this,” she pointed one thumb up vertically and the other thumb pointed to the side horizontally. “NO ONE, I mean NO ONE does that, but you,” I said addressing her recent hand motions. “That’s good! It’d be cliché if everyone did that. I like being a nonconformist,” she argued. “Okay, the word usage of nonconformist seems a little extreme, don’t you think? I mean, nonconformists typically have a purpose, a cause, to against what the masses deem appropriate. You… just wanna be a butt,” I voiced refuting her sentiments. “A butt? Of course you, as the conformist, would say such a thing!” she shouted. “How did the conversion even get here?” I shouted back. Sounds of Laughter could be heard from my mom and step-dad as we all were walking towards the car, with of course me leading the slow
Films are a large part of our lives here in America where we depend on them to do when we’re bored with nothing to do, or when the snow or rain is falling. We all use movies as a common way to go on dates and be with friends. However, there has become an abundance amount of movies that we can all enjoy throughout our lives. Although not all movies are interesting to all viewers depending on their personality and what they like to watch. I can say for myself that a film that I really enjoy would be “Mean Girls”. In the two thousand four film “Mean Girls” there is a sense of entertainment that helps in combining all the aspects found in a classical film. Classical films having a entertaining and dramatic plot, and a excellent cast.
For most people, movies are made for entertainment. However, there are also movies that go beyond merely entertaining its audience. There are films that have been created making use of psychological principles, which enrich the movie-viewing experience of audiences. This paper will focus on the movie Shrek, which was released in 2001, directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson.
In this 1997 film, George Lucas uses music to connect with the reader, clearly triggers the viewer's emotions, and uses colors to symbolize a classic theme: good vs. evil. First, if we carefully listen to the movies soundtrack, we see how different the music is in each situation with different characters. Second, we notice how effectively Lucas uses pathos to make us want to choose a side; good, or evil.
Although the best reasons for “going to the movies” are to be entertained and eat popcorn, understanding a film is actually quite complex. Movies are not only a reflection of life, they also have the capability of shaping our norms, values, attitudes, and perception of life. Through the media of film, one can find stories of practically anything imaginable and some things unimaginable. Movie-makers use their art to entertain, to promote political agendas, to educate, and to present life as it is, was, or could be. They can present truth, truth as they interpret it, or simply ignore truth altogether. A movie can be a work of fiction, non-fiction, or anything in-between. A film is an artist’s interpretation. What one takes away from a film depends upon how one interprets what has been seen and heard. Understanding film is indeed difficult.
While watching this film it truly opened my eye to the violence that occurs to females. I know this issue has been around, but never realized the severity of it until this film. My knowledge prior to watching is that women is not treated with the same respect as men. In society women are viewed as the weaker gender and violence towards them are usually swept under the rug and not seem as a big deal. I am aware that women usually do not report the issue because they are afraid. What was most surprising to me is that in third world countries violence such as rape, are not even considered to be serious. The higher authorities are aware that rape occurs, but usually do nothing about the situation. Men can simply get away with their acts because
The question this paper seeks to answer- Or rather – the topic this paper will attempt to flesh out is how “Rock and Roll Music” has affected, or been affected (by) Social Change or Social Movements. Perhaps the most notable examples of how music has been inextricably linked to the social-political climate of this country, would be The Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War.
There has been a recent outrage by a woman named Miriam Zeigler, this pent up anger over the course of many years had finally burst once her article was published by The Age on May 6th 2010. Her opinion piece entails her experience over the years of being a left hander, and the everyday discriminations she faces. This entire piece was sparked by her encounter at the supermarket, when she went to sign her receipt and it was angled to the right, causing her the inconvenience of having to move it to the left side. She believes that our ‘right-handed society’ needs to cater more to the left-handers of the world, as they are tired of the discrimination and wish to be treated fairly, and not as a mockery. She makes her appeal to the right-handers of the world trying to raise their awareness on this issue, she gathers this audience to make right-handers understand their ‘privilege’ and their everyday rudeness towards left-handers. Her tone in her first paragraph starts off peaceful however, in a quick tonal shift she becomes quite aggressive in her voice. Throughout the piece, excluding the seemingly
If I was going to college next year I would want to have a personal class about sports and athletes. The video made Monsters University look like a good college. It looked like the students had a lot of freedom when it came to choosing classes and clubs .I think a lot of people should go here because of they much more choices. You could probably even create your own club if you don’t like the choices
The type of court role shown during the music video was adjudication. Which means the primary goal played by the courts is to process the “defendant who have been arrested by the police and formally charged with criminal offense.” I personally believe this is true, since the music video clearly shows the defendant already in custody of the police and on trial for his crimes. Another reason why I believe adjudication explains the video is because there is a neutral third party which is the judge and jury that concluded that the defendant was found guilty. Proving that the court role shown is clearly adjudication.

Both trailers use music to create anticipation which raises a person’s heartbeat, capturing there attention. Anticipation is created through varying the volume, suddenly changing the tempo of the songs and adding sound effects. Music is a vital technique because it engages the senses and draws the viewer to become an active bystander in the story. When the music
Brave New World the people watch movies using the “feelies”, which adds senses to a movie.

In service of this argument, the essay unfolds in three parts. The first section sketches an appropriate framework for understanding how cinema marshals and moves viewers by engaging them in a fully embodied experience.4 The second section offers a brief overview of the film's plot before turning to an analysis of its triptych narrative and affective development. The third and final section considers the methodological, critical, and theoretical implications suggested by the preceding analysis.
Every so often a movie is released with such tense anticipation and glamorous visual art that the public is drawn to this dramatic rendition of life in the theatre. For even just two hours or so, you are put into a different lifestyle. Action, drama or comedy it may be. We are thrust into a different way of thinking. We are forced to learn the characters thoughts and feelings. The hard work and artistic skill that goes into these magnificent films is not an easy thing to mimic. Out of the thousands of movies released worldwide each year only a handful are truly worthy of the label film art. Most of the great movies are either produced by a multi million dollar
