Trailers for movies can often be very deceiving. I saw the preview for the movie Deadpool with Ryan Reynolds in theaters and it seemed to look like a great movie. The trailer foresaw many action scenes fused with witty remarks by deadpool. Everything about the movie looked very enjoyable. The actual movie, on the other hand, was awful. I could see right through the acting and the humor was extremely dry. Even the action scenes were quick and anticlimactic. The gap between what people are seeing in the trailer and what is actually being seen in the movie is absolutely enormous. Which brings me to the point that all movies have certain characteristics that make it a good movie. In order for a movie to have a strong appeal on a viewer it must …show more content…

Saving Private Ryan is a prime example of action in a movie. Tom Hanks is the platoon leader and storms the beach of Normandy. This shows action because in world war two the warfare was very gruesome and the movie portrayed this perfectly. The action scenes brought together the vibe of the movie tied the audience into the film to see and feel what they were. In addition, another movie with great action scenes is Bourne Identity with Matt Damon. In this movie Jason Bourne is left near death when a boat picks him up, he has no memory of who he is and only has skills for self defense and fighting. He goes out on a mission to find out who he is and why he is trying to be assassinated. The action in this movie is nonstop which keeps a viewer at suspense the entire film. The action also keeps an audience connected where a movie such as a drama would be boring and difficult to focus on. Furthermore another movie with action is central intelligence, where two friends work undercover to save the US spy intelligence system. The action in the movie brings out the intensity of the plot and how the characters act in extreme circumstances. Action in the movie is good because it also had comedic breaks within action scenes making the movie very enjoyable and

    In his essay, “It’s Just a Movie: A Teaching Essay for Introductory Media Classes”, Greg M. Smith argues that analyzing a film does not ruin, but enhances a movie-viewing experience; he supports his argument with supporting evidence. He addresses the careful planning required for movies.

    It adds in the fantasy aspect by using a clip in the trailer that makes the people watching the trailer want to figure out what happened to Michael J. Fox, and how he is going to handle living as a werewolf in high school. The trailer adds in it comedy aspect by having most of the trailer revolve around comedy. In a multitude of scenes, Michael J. Fox is either doing something embarrassing, or he is doing something really cool or weird, such as Michael J. Fox dancing on top of a van while playing “Surfin’ USA.” Throughout watching the trailer for the first-time, I was in love with the comedy and fantasy the trailer was showing me. That is because the trailer was tailored to apply to a younger audience. Most adults today would not have found the movie trailer funny or fantastical. Most of the adults today, would actually would have found comedy in making fun the trailer. This is because humor changes with time. In today’s day, people might find it funny how older movies had bad sound effects, and visual effects. In 1985, the makeup, the special effects, and the sound effects all would have been top of the line. This would ensure that the comedy would have been used to its best of its ability, and the makeup would ensure that people would believe in the fantasy and want find out more about the teen

  • Hero Film Analysis

    1998 Words  | 4 Pages

    What components make a movie successful in cinema? Filmmakers have crafted a formula to successfully deliver the hero narrative. This formula consists of the hero’s journey and archetypes. Hero films typically follow a ten-step sequence to properly set up and execute the hero’s journey. These movies range from stories of transformations, searches, or a journey back home. Archetypes are used to employ character profile as well as add variety and depth to these stories. Ridley Scott directed Alien, in which Ellen Ripley embarks on a journey where she must survive an alien who is out on a murderous rampage and return back to Earth. Alien adds originality to its storyline by choosing a female lead instead of a male, but the film still incorporates the same heroic attributes that make a story successful. In this “going home journey” film, Scott is able to incorporate the hero’s journey and the official hero archetype towards the heroine Ellen Ripley.

    Modern day directors use a variety of methods to hold ones interest. Ethan Hawke and Kenneth Branagh’s created versions of Hamlet that shared some similarities, but ultimately had many differences in respects to an audience’s appeal. An appealing movie is one that has an alluring ambiance and an intellectual stimulus. With these two movie versions, a setting and a mood forced an audience to acquire specific emotions, but Ethan Hawke’s version generated emotions more strongly and effectively. Also, these movies had extremely different uses of music and visuals, but both movie versions incorporated them well for the ambiance it tried to obtain. Finally, both movie versions drew characters to captivate the audience; however in Ethan Hawke’s version, the characters were used so effectively that it was easy to feel involved with them.

I recently took my two nieces, ages ten and thirteen, to see the 2014 musical Into the Woods, and in the audience there was a large group of teenagers, a couple families that had brought their preteen and teenage children, and even some adults that had gone to see it for their own enjoyment.

In order to do this, the filmmakers used both ethos and pathos to appeal to their intended preteen, teenage, and adult audiences.

  • The Big Sleep: Movie vs. Novel

    1588 Words  | 4 Pages

    Film and literature are two media forms that are so closely related, that we often forget there is a distinction between them. We often just view the movie as an extension of the book because most movies are based on novels or short stories. Because we are accustomed to this sequence of production, first the novel, then the motion picture, we often find ourselves making value judgments about a movie, based upon our feelings on the novel. It is this overlapping of the creative processes that prevents us from seeing movies as distinct and separate art forms from the novels they are based on.

    Action films contain lots of physical stunts, chase scenes, rescues, fights, humour, destructive disaster (Explosions, floods, fires, natural hazards), escapes, and non-stop action. People expect the stunts when they come to see an action film, because the stunts and fights are what make the film so popular.
