Recommended: World War 2 and how it affected the film industry

Movies change over time, they change with the time and the technology. Sometimes a movie is remade to improve the reality of the movie or to improve the story. When movies are remade they will have improved graphics and a modified storyline to make the film appealing to the current generation. If a big film producer decide to take on the challenge of remaking a movie they will get the chance to make big money off the profits of the film sales. In theory if a film was successful in the past, it can be successful again; this minimizes risks and maximizes profits. A movie may be so far removed from pop culture that it’s forgotten. Remakes allow new generations and audiences to view it. Fans of the original may compare it to the remake or share and discuss the original film. People who are curious may also check out the original film. This art of remaking films has been used many times; such as, the original Batman cartoon vs the new movies.

  • Similarities Between The Dark Knight and the 9/11 Attacks

    In 2005 Christopher Nolan spearheaded the commercial re-boot of the Batman franchise with the movie Batman Begins, the movie achieved wide critical acclaim, and, subsequently generated, talk of a sequel. In the summer of 2008, after a vast amount of advertising and viral marketing, the highly anticipated sequel was finally released. The film 'The Dark Knight' grossed almost $67,165,092 in its first day and went on to break countless box office records. Later the next year the film won 2 Oscars and was nominated for a further 6, one award won was the 'Best Supporting Actor' award which the late Heath Ledger posthumously received, for his portrayal of the 'Joker'. Due to Ledger's untimely death the film gained even more publicity and Heath's performance was spotlighted, many people thought this might take the focus off what might be a great film and onto Ledger's performance alone. The film was released, and, although Ledger's performance was nothing short of astonishing the spotlight and focus was not taken off the film itself and the movie subsequently gained wide, and thoroughly deserved, critical acclaim. In my opinion an exceptional solo performance isn't capable of taking focus off a good film if it is itself worthy of credit, the performance is simply a different aspect of the film.

  • Sympathetic Portrayal of Native Americans in British Westerns

    348 Words  | 1 Pages

    Thus, the reason why British Westerns have an unconventional tradition of being sympathetic towards Native Americans is clear. Although directors certainly bring their own personal artistic vision to their projects, mainstream film production is still ultimately governed by commercial interests, as both Nowell-Smith and Neale attest. In order to make a profit at the box-office, movies have to meet the expectations and desires of their viewers, ensuring positive reviews and word of mouth endorsement. With government approval high in the United States during the 1950s, there was very little incentive for production companies to release a movie which challenged the dominant myth of the nation’s founding and its virtuousness, as it is unlikely that audiences would have been open to these ideas. Consequently, during the “Golden

  • Coming Of Age In American Film Analysis

    3104 Words  | 7 Pages

    Youth have a certain quality and charisma that has made making films about them not only an interesting endeavor but also fundamental to cinema (Shary, 2002). Representative of hope and change, children are viewed as the future. Youth culture, with its ‘here today and gone tomorrow’ kind of dynamic, suggests that children are also the future of film. For decades the film industry has relied on young audiences for patronage and also looked to youth for inspiration and just the kind of material that makes a relevant and refreshing script (Shary, 2002). Youth-oriented film has subsequently become a genre all its own (Shary, 2002). A history of American youth cinema would indicate no different. It is thus interesting to explore youth-oriented films and how films across time, namely Lolita (1962), Marathon Man (1976), Rain Man (1988), Kids (1995), and The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012), have depicted youth culture, specifically the theme of “Coming-Of-Age.”

It is like a two-in-one package where the player can interact with the game and can spectate as the cut scenes are playing. These two media highly influence each other. Films want to become like video games and video games want to become like films. In most cases though, video games get more techniques from old films than from the new films. Newer films are highly influenced by the newer video games. They get ideas and get inspired of how video games are able to manage to depict an extraordinary scene on screen by using special effects, 3-dimenesional images and computer-generated images (CGI). Thus, both films and video games find inspiration from each other that share encouraging set of transmedia synergies that make them successful.

  • The Evolution of Movie Genres

    2073 Words  | 5 Pages

    It’s no question that genre is a very important factor in a screenwriter’s pursuit of creating a highly marketable film. Considering genre types in writing a script for an upcoming film is important to not only the target audience, but the technical characteristics of certain genres. Every film created is categorized into a specific genre based on elements of that genre type, as well as accompanied by technical aspects that classify a film as a specific genre type. Some films are finalized as purely one type of genre, while in other instances the film gains the classification of type different genre types. Sound, cinematography, mise-en-scene, editing, and narrative are the formal elements of film that help determine a final product into a genre class, or multiple genre classes. Yet even dwelling in the subcategories of major genre types, like science fiction or action, films also have the ability to shift genre within their screen time and not only be placed in a genre category but jump genre types as well. This is caused greatly by the blending of genre types that have elements that complement each other’s qualities well and can easily be transitioned from one type to the next. Where Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979) series prequel Prometheus (2012) began under the science fiction type genre and develops a gradual transition into horror, Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard’s Cabin in the Woods (2012) flips the two genres, beginning as a horror genre than transitions into a science fiction category.
