Communication is a systemic process in which people interact with and through symbols to create and interpret meanings. In other words, communication is a way for humans to exchange information. Communication can take place in many ways, some of which are verbal or nonverbal, as well through symbols. When communication occurs there is always a sender and a receiver, often times there is feedback between both parties and it always occurs through a channel.…
Edgar Wright made short films as a young teenager and directed a no-budget feature film t the age of 20 years old. He continued to work in tv from there mainly in Britain where he directed an array of comedy shows including Merry-Go-Round, Is it Bill Bailey, Mash and Peas, Murder Most Horrid, Sir Bernard’s Stately Homes, Asylum and French and Saunders. He’s won several awards over the years:…
The soundtrack was impressive and gave suspense and drama as where needed. The special FX was up to date and gave a realistic feel to the movie. The cinematography is what brought this film's ratings up in my opinion. I really like the irony in the lightning, Especially Pegg's use of zoom-ins and quick cuts hilarious. Also, the camera angles of when Ed drives himself and Shaun to his parent's house dodging zombies left and right was also very entertaining. I believe I almost jumped out of my seat in fright when Ed hit the lurking zombie speeding down the…
Rotting corpses, blood and guts are all unpleasant yet these elements are essential to any great horror film. Spoofing of horror films became popular in the year 2000 with films like Scary Movie that added ironic comedy and exaggerated plots to the gory slayings of serial killers and psychopaths. Most recently, zombies are all the rage. Zombies have hit the media full force with films and shows such as Zombie Land, 28 Days Later, I am legend, The Walking Dead, and World War Z. Shaun of the Dead is a British horror movie spoof about a unambitious 29 year old man, Shaun, who is trying to turn his life around and save the love of his life and his mum from a zombie apocalypse.…
Sequels usually have a bad reputation, but Ghostbusters 3 takes that stereotype and shove it in the Patriarchy. Yes, many years later we have a more modern sequel slaying the theatres. I went to see this the day before my birthday with a few friends and the movie left me in awe. Ghostbusters 3 makes women into the saviours, instead of the mother, the nurse, or supporting roles.…
I expected to be extremely petrified with fear and wishing I hadn’t stayed. I genuinely thought Psycho was a terrific film. It wasn’t filled with gore and jump scares similar to current movies in the horror genre are. I was still sinking into my seat every time the music filled me with suspense, yet I was never hiding from the absolute horror that I had anticipated. I’m sure the few violent scenes would’ve been considered gory when Psycho came out, although nowadays, the effects are almost laughable. These outdated effects helped me survive the movie without cringing yet never did they take away from the film. After viewing this famous cinematic piece for myself, I understand why this film has become extremely iconic and is commonly referenced in pop culture today. This film was absolutely phenomenal and I will probably even watch it again. Haunted High wasn’t close to any cultural event I have ever done. I have been to other Global Ed sponsored movies, however Haunted High was different. This cultural event truly put me out of my comfort zone and forced me to try something new. I am extremely glad that I did and I would highly recommend that others attend Haunted High and watch Psycho, especially if you’re not quite into the horror genre. Psycho has showed me that just cause the video production is labeled as horror, doesn’t imply that I’ll hate it. Watching Psycho may have even allowed me to open my mind and I might even consider watching a different horror…
In modern life, Halloween occupies one of the central places, as it is a popular holiday when people wear costumes and have fun at the parties. Despite the fact that this holiday is dedicated to evil and its creatures, people have turned it into the joyful event. The director John Carpenter decided to alter the situation and shot the terrifying horror movie “Halloween”, which enjoyed a great popularity in the American viewers in 1978. Even today this slasher film is perceived as a masterpiece of horror art.…
I know not everyone's going to be a fan of Paul Feig's style of comedy, with semi- relatable characters, pop culture references, and the occasional fart joke. I get that, we all have different taste in comedy. If you straight up judge Ghostbuster because it's female driven, you can leave my blog right now. These characters could have been placed by anyone, and all four leading ladies are extremely funny.…
With loyal Edgar at his side to fight the good fight, the two will have to pave their way through zombie-ridden London as Shaun must take on the first real challenge in his life with comical results, not your average comedy Edgar wright managed to combine both horror and comedy in this delightful twist and with long-time friends and co-workers nick frost and Simon Pegg working with wright the latter also helping write the script for Shaun of the dead this was just a peek to what Edgar wright would bring in later films. The film was a critical…
Though both movies came out in 2016, Hush isn’t as recognizable. I believe this movie deserves more attention. What makes a horror movie good would be originality, a good twist, a sense of unease or fear, good characters, good sound design, and good acting. The antagonist of this movie is different from other horror movie killers.…
A year has gone by since the Ghostbusters came into being. They were still widely popular.…
After seeing the original film, and knowing how Hollywood works, the final was easily predictable. It was easy to recognize when an important event is about to happen. The original film made me feel incomplete, whereas the remake made me feel kind of bored by the fact that I was able to predict the next move of the film. Even though the original film made me feel incomplete, I enjoyed it more than the…
SyFy's Ghost Hunters was off to a bad start in 2004. The producers quickly realized they had to do something to keep the show on the air. They also manufactured sounds and ghost appearances for the viewers. Once the ghost hunters started fabricating evidence weekly; their ratings increased. The producers believed catching more taps would make for great television. The producers improved the editing process, how they told the stories, and scripted some scenes.” “It was revealed during an episode about Queen Mary that the producers of the Ghost Hunter show were faking many things going on [sic].” (Do TV Ghost Hunting Shows Fake…
The movie “The Exorcist” is one of the most classic horror movies ever known. It invokes man’s greatest most primal instinct “Fear”. This film has created a lot of controversy between the church and producer. The church saying that it is the work of the devil and that a demon lives in the film. While the producer says it is just a scary film. Either way there is no doubt that with the special effects and storyline this movie still remains one of the greatest scary movies of all time.…
My reaction about the movie, 3 Idiots, that we watched last Monday (feb 13, 2012). Many people already told me that the move is worth watching for but I don’t know why I did not try to watch it before. So when I saw the title that we’re about watch, I felt the excitement because finally I can now watch the movie. Of course, I was asking myself, why are we going to watch this kind of movie? What’s relevance of 3 idiots to our Logic Class? So I just continued watching and forgot the things that I’m curious about haha! I kept on laughing and I forgot that we are watching that movie for almost 3 hours already. The story was great, I’ve learned a lot. Rancho did an extravagant part on the movie, most especially to his friends. Rancho tells us that success in studying is not achieved by solely memorizing definitions given by textbooks or professors, but by understanding and applying the concepts. And he also emphasized that one should follow excellence, not success, as success will come itself if excellence is followed. Those words are very inspiring and would love to be like him someday. One more thing that Rancho said to the movie, you can study without money, all you need it a uniform to wear. That message is for all the youth out there who don’t have money to go to school. You see, money is not important anyway, it is just something that can lead you to school but the willingness to learn is the real key. That movie showed the real essence of a real friend. Real friends who will not lead you to a wrong path rather lead you to right path to success. We, as a first year students, most of us are not sure why did we take this course. Some are because of their parents and some are because of the influence of their friends. In the movie, Rancho’s friend fahran took the Engineering course due to his dad’s wish but deep inside he wants to be photographer. That’s a lesson to us that we should follow our dreams because if we did not follow it, we are the one who will suffer in…
