Also the writing of Walt Disney is very soft as if it is like a balloon or something cuddly. This represnts what disney s trying to portray which is films that can be enjoyed for everyone which is a film to be enoyed with no bits which are unsuitable. it is basically a fantasy.

Plot treatment. 

The plot of the film is that a man name John is awaiting the arrival of his wife Elizabeth so they can go out. She is late arriving so John stares out of the window and sees her exiting a car and kissing another man. \For revenge he acts normal to her face and changes plans of going out to stay in. Behind her back he makes a phone call for hitman in the form of his friend Jack. While he waits for him they have a game of cards ad a drink then through the open door Jack shoots her while she is on the sofa. The police arrive later at the crime scene but there are many plot twists as to who it could be due to Elizabeth having many rivals including her mum and her employment manager. This means their could be many people in the frame for murder but the audience know who it is. The rest of the story focuses on the lead to the arrest of Jack

Coursework Proposal

My Coursework proposals


You have decided to enter a competition being run by your local arts cinema, The Little Picturehouse. This cinema, which is part of a small chain of 12 independent arts cinemas across the country, shows a mixture of independent, foreign language and documentary films. The company prides itself on providing access to non-mainstream cinema and seeks to make independent cinema accessible to ever wider audience groups. The chain is running a national film-making competition and your local cinema will be hosting the regional finals. Entrants to the competition are required to make a short extract from a film they would like to make as well as materials for a promotional booklet.
Finalists from your local area will be entered into the national competition. The competition is open to young people and aims to encourage creativity and technical ambition.
The competition prize in the regional heats is access to equipment and technical support to enable you to complete a 30-minute narrative film for entry into the national competition. There is also a cash prize to help with production costs.
Entrants are asked to ensure that the content and themes of the films are within the BBFC's guidance for a 15 certificate.
All entrants to the competition must include a short written overview of the film they want to make, including its title and a brief description of the plot. This should include information on the genre of the film and the target audience.

For this i will be creating a noir style film in black and white with a voice over. My film will be the middle of the start where the murder is committed. This is my style of film as i am quite old fashioned when it comes to styles of programmes i watch. Noir films are typically black and white with usually a crime being committed and the rest of the film is to find out why or who dunnit.

Textual Analysis 1

Textual analysis.


Goodfellas.




GoodFellas focuses heavily on action in its films as we see when Tommy de vito shoots the barman. There are meany camera angles in the film with a close up shot of the gun after he has shot him. This angle also has the man who is frightened as we see he is behind the gun. This scene has a lot of emotion because when the man has a very shocked emotion on his face after seeing what De Vito has done. Another camera angle is the long shot of the gun and the barman falling to the floor.


A code for this scene would be he is the stereotypical italian - american gangster becuase he has the accent and the gun. This is typical of italian american as they are alwaysassociated with being gangesters as in the film of the The Godfather.


The audience for this film in my opinion would be over 18's and be an audience of of C1 - E classes as higher class people wouldnt really be interested in crimes and the swearing that would be used in this film as it does contain a lot of bad language.










The Bucket List.


The movie starts at the end/near end, due to this the opening narration is left intentianlly vague so that you don't put it together the middle of a film, it`s a trope that the narrator is vague in films that start near the end if there is a narrator

The narrator in the film is the main character giving the main character the aspect of breaking the 4th wall. The Narrator is also very bias due to the fact he is telling from his own personal experience making him not very reliable. The narrator also seemingly has the ability to pause time to give exposition making him more than just a story teller but having an actual effect upon the film and the experience we get. The narrator both spoke in past and present tense during the film.




Fight Club.


The movie is about a man who has two identities and the fight he has between himself and his second identity as well as being depressed. He decides to go to a support group and finds himself becoming addicted to the group where he finds a woman who is just like him and loves the support groups.


In the film there are many dark colours which represent depression as may people claim that they have dark emotions and dark thoughts. The film is entirly in grey colours which could also represent his loss of emotions and feelings. His second identity which is more happier is represented as red which is a bold stand outish colour. The film has many camera angle shots for example there is a close up of the depressed character so we as the audience can kind of sense his emotions and depresive state. The audience for this flm in my opinion is mainly aroun the c1 and c2's.

Logo Research

For my media assignment i have had to look at different logos and show if they represent a dark tone or a more lighter tone and what it is trying to portray.  The first logo i looked at was a music band logo and the second was a film company logo.

Image result for music group logos   


The first logo i came across was the ACDC logo which is on a black background which could be seen as dark which could symbolize the heavy metal music which ACDC play.  As well as this the font of the logo is also dark red and a lightning bolt in the middle which also could suggest the heavy metal music as it is striking and makes you remember it.

The next logo is the Walt Disney logo. This logo is on a lightish blue logo. The logo depicts the words Walt Disney logo in a swirly font and behind it is a castle. This symbolizes a more light and fairytale tone. The castle and font is what makes the logo one of the most recognized companies in history
