have?  
What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like? 
What elements of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you? 

 

 

           The movie Stepbrothers contain physical comedy including scenes of sword fights, bunk bed collapses, and bicycle races. The film also uses satire the film satirizes the idea of grown men who refuse to grow up and act like adults and pokes fun at the way society hates them. The film also uses absurdity in many ways as over-the-top humor in many of the film's scenes. This film also contains many scenes that display these conventions. All the scenes have a convention scene in them. The characters also display character-based humor the humor comes from there lead characters Brennan and Dale with their child-like personalities. The film uses this classic convention of creating characters with exaggerated flaws. The film displays slapstick humor because many of the scenes have gagged the use of exaggerated humor. Over stepbrothers displays classic comedy conventions. Personally, I liked all conventions of comedy in the movie Stepbrothers. I liked all of it because it is staying consistent throughout the film. I like all of the conventions because they are classic and never really fail a joke. Because these are so popular because they don't fail. Some convent in the movie that I disliked was satire because of one small reason which was the social part. Although the satire convention has plenty of good uses just the timing was not always the best. Another thing I liked about the film was the physical fighting because they would break each other down mentally and then would snap like a child. When I say mentally one would say don't touch my drum set and then the other touches their drum set. These are consistent throughout the film. This movie is a personal favorite and will always be because of the sheer amount of entertainment and the mood it puts you in. The mood of a movie is very important, and movies make all humans feel emotions based off of their genre. For example, this movie made me feel historical.

There is a Solution!

 It is currently Saturday. I woke up today with a text from my group member about what we're going to film. After the conversation concerning the parts about what is being filmed, I learned that my partner cannot film today either. My partner's schedule is very tight and relying on him is making it detrimental to me. Keeping in mind that this project is due very soon we still have not had anything filmed at this point. I am now getting anxious and frustrated about what my group and I are going to have to do now. My group members' tight schedule has truly made it a detriment to my time and future plans I had. Finally, my group member and I decided to film by ourselves. After we both film whenever possible, I will edit all of the clips to make it one sequence to flow smoothly with the music video. Since I was already set for Saturday I figured that I should film the first couple of scenes at the mall. Despite going to film, I had to get my brother to be the cameraman to help ...

Creative Critical Reflection

  1. My commercial challenges conventions by the opening of a panning shot. I have used the luminescent light coming from the school board sign for realistic lighting. My film represents the student class, establishing students attending to school use the product. The location displays the environment that this product can be used in. My actor has shown, pants, shirt, backpack, and shoes to portray this. By implementing this as well as having some dramatic shots, it makes the viewer want the apparel to use, targeting students mainly but not limited to.  2. My product engages with the audience by grabbing their attention with various detail zoom shots, to panning. Showing off the brand, it shows the many uses that it has. This can be distributed in the real media text as it is visually appealing. Nowadays people have a lower attention span making fast pace videos with intense shots more interesting.  3. My production skills has tremendously improved throughout. I learned h...

What’s the plan now?

    Nothing good comes easy. This is the quote keeping my motivation up. The reason I’m even thinking about this quote is because the filming dates are constantly being delayed. Unfortunately, not only does my group member and I have other work for classes but so we are busy in our daily lives. We are trying to come up with a solution so that we can accumulate together and film. We still need to look into a specific park to go to. Something along the lines next to our school or my partners house may work. It is important for it to be a spacious park so that the puppy can run around and play it’s part to act wild and free. The act of the dog being wild and free will irritate one of the characters, as mentioned in my script. This will be the introduction of the plot. My partner lives near the school. This makes it accessible to me and we can easily begin the filming process. As my partner and I know what we’re going to film we can film different parts of the movie separately. Fo...
