    The Big Sellout Film Analysis

    “It is in the black box that commodities are produced and consumed. It is also in the black box that we find the patterns of social, political, economic, ecological, and ideological life that either promote or inhibit the conversion of money into more money” (page 39). This quote from Richard Robbins, Global Problems and the Culture of Capitalism, defines how “the black box” works. The film The Big Sellout is a good visualization of the black box. Robbins portrays the functioning of capitalism as a black box into which investors put money, and except to receive more money. A major attribute of capitalism is that money can be used to create more money.…

    Another example of this trend is the Hangover Trilogy. The Hangover was released on Memorial Day weekend of 2009 to stellar reviews and a 44 million dollar opening weekend haul. In fact, the film beat out Warner Brother’s expectations for the weekend and beat out Disney/Pixar’s Up and Universal’s adaption of Land of the Lost for #1. (Fritz, 2015) The Audience reaction was through the roof, at 79% fueling an average of 88 people per opening weekend screening (King,2014).

    Hollywood Film Analysis

    This essay will take an in-depth look at the history of Hollywood during the late 60s and early 70s. This period of time is considered to have been a renaissance for American cinema, and was titled the ‘New Hollywood’ by cotemporary critics of the time. In order to understand the changes that Hollywood went through the late ‘60s, you first have to examine the preceding era of Hollywood filmmaking during the 30s and 40s. This was a period that is commonly referred to as Hollywood’s Golden Age; when the dream factories were in full swing and the audiences were in regular attendance. This period of time could be defined by a number of social, political or economic contexts, but it’s the filmmaking practices that were employed at the time which…

    How Do Independent Films Sometimes Achieve Success?

    Compared to Hollywood films, independent films usually don’t achieve a high amount of success (except for maybe one or two like The King’s Speech). They usually have a low budget and can sometimes not be as profitable as mainstream cinema because they are usually independently funded. However, because of the slow introduction of platforms like ‘Kickstarter’ and ‘IndieGoGo’ (which offer the public to be able to fund different ideas such as films), independent films are slowly starting to achieve the success they want once more (such as the Veronica Mars movie that was recently funded).…

    Rent: Movie Analysis

    Rent is personally one of my all time favorite productions. It is a Broadway musical and motion picture that is set in New York City’s East Village during a time period when HIV and AIDS was a common issue. This musical expresses many other issues through its content. Most of these issues are things that the characters must learn to deal with and try to fix throughout the span of the film. Some of the problems depicted are the characters struggling with drugs, understanding sexuality, paying their rent, and living with HIV/AIDS. These different issues each contribute to the fact that in this world there are many different types of people who are often viewed in many different ways.…

    week 6 film and popular cinema

    There are so many differences between film and popular cinema. When working with film, there are many specific types of shots that could be used. The first type are the types of shots that includes full, medium, close-up, extreme close-up, long, flashbacks, pan, traveling, and cross cutting shots. These kinds of shots can be used on many different types of objects, things, places, people, etc. The shots are then put in a specific order to actually piece the film together during the process of editing. By using different varieties of shots that are taken and then switched back and forth between them and shots, the film is then created. Remember that many audiences do not want just a film but a story with non-fictional and fictional characters that has a plot that the audience can relate to and something in reality to. This is how popular cinema was created. Editing the film for a movie that was still is based on what movie critics consider acceptable. After this process the scenes get reviewed and then are determined whether or not they are acceptable to be on a film or to be removed to keep the movie short so the audience doesn’t get bored. This is known to be popular cinema. The film is then reviewed by the directors and the movie critics before the final product is produced and released to be viewed by the public. Criticism is by the public and is the part of becoming a popular cinema and that is produced into a mass variety of different genres. Another difference is that film is usually made by using real life realities/events and usually connected by the general public, in which popular cinema is the version to create a visual story for the public and it is easy to understand. Not all audiences want to understand what is actually going on in the film at first for either. Some audiences will relate to the film that keeps them in suspense and some will relate to a film that makes them relate to…
