MEST2: BBFC Institution research

Research the BBFC: what is the institution responsible for? How is it funded? What link does it have to government?
The British Board of Film Censors was set up in 1912 by the film industry as an independent body to bring a degree of uniformity to the classification of film nationally. Statutory powers on film remain with the local councils, which may overrule any of the BBFC’s decisions, passing films we reject, banning films we have passed, and even waiving cuts, instituting new ones, or altering categories for films exhibited under their own licensing jurisdiction.

Read this BBFC guide to how films are rated. Summarise the process in 50 words.

A film is refined by a progression of procedures, dependable by an analyst, whether it'd be having some expertise in diversions or motion pictures. Ordinarily an analyst would watch and investigate DVD's primarily focusing on his knowledge and experience, which is called to be "solo-seeing", however greater establishments offer greater consideration, in this manner silver screen movies require rating in groups of two. These inspectors take into components, for example, chiefly: general connection (plot, character and so forth), cinematography and dialect; sex; drugs and so forth.



Read this BBFC section on controversial decisions. Why did The Dark Knight generate a large amount of media coverage regarding its certificate? Do you agree with the 12A certificate The Dark Knight was awarded?

The dark knight was hit by a lot of controversy because of its 12A age rating which many people thought was too low. This was because of its excessive violence. 12A guidelines allow moderate violence as long as it can be justified by the context. However, many people thought that the dark knight should have been a 15 age rating or even 18 because of its excessive violence it showcased to its superhero fans.

What are the guidelines for a 15 certificate?


strong violence
frequent strong language (e.g. 'f***').
portrayals of sexual activity
strong verbal references to sex
sexual nudity
brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence
discriminatory language or behaviour
drug taking

The BBFC website offers an explanation of every classification it makes and detailed case studies on selected titles. Choose one 15-rated film from the BBFC case studies section and summarise the classification the film was given and why

i chose the movie attack the block as it is Classified by BBFC as to be 15 uncut,presumably because of the way that it is a sub/half and half kind of comic drama, blended with frightfulness AND sci-fi - an exceptionally surprising and unusual sorts set up together, and possibly this speaks to adolescents of our era, who have offbeat perspectives and like a blend of things.

Exhibition: Art house cinemas

The art house film I have picked is incidentally the Electric Cinema, situated in London. The art house silver screen is situated in Notting Hill and Birmingham, London and is one of the most seasoned working films in the nation.

is a low-spending plan film support that was brought up in 2006, and the objective is to just shoot a full-length highlight film - it is at last open for trying movie producers, movie producers in documentaries, fiction, activity and so on.

A case study in independent film production: Film London and Microwave Film

1.) Film London is UKs open office for movies and media. The valuation for art house movies is likewise apparent in light of the fact that the office/association is for non-benefit. Film London's definitive objective is to advance and create film society. It exists as the very establishment for uprising movies, executives, and so on

Film London will be London's sole film organization who contribute towards the foundation of London as a pioneer or overall centre in the film business. They exist so as to guarantee that London holds its film society all through time for one, and that the business inside of the capital keeps on growing all in all.

ill manors

ILL manors fits the conventions for an art house film because the plot is based upon a crime ridden life in London. usually London is showed as a glamorous, entertaining city which has expensive locations but this movie focus clearly on drug dealing, gang violence and issues which affect poverty and crime situations in London, these are stuff primarily not shown about London.

freestyle

Freestyle could be considered to be an independent/ film with it again representing showing a more specific section - in urban areas. In contrast to ILL Manors though, the film looks like it aims to entertain more than it does inform on significant issues. Then other two films i talked about appealed to a younger audience as they understand the nature and the speech of the characters in the film, whereas is freestyle the characters talk in more of a mainstream way.

shifty

shifty is similar to Ill manors in the sense it has elements which link to the increasing crime happening in London and how this movie explores this. mainly both Ill manors and Shift would attract the same target audience as it gives more of a look at a local image of london. this clearly details why it is more of a art house film than a main stream film.

Watch these top tips for film production. List three things you've learned from these short videos that you can apply to your MEST2 production work. 

Have energy and excitement for your script, make something you would inevitably be pleased with. Likewise, have the capacity to reliably and succinctly clarify your story which enormously helps as far as pitching a thought and drawing your intended interest group in.

Boyhood

the fact that no cuts were used in their conversation when editing is quite interesting as the one continuous shot with the camera moving closer ended up being more effective. This film links to the conventions of an art-house film because the concept spontaneous and has a unique feel to it. i would generally say the target audience is young adults/teenagers and mainly aimed at boys as it depicts a whole different mentality as to how an american styled life may be lived, and also because it involves drugs, sex references and alcohol use. BBFC have rated this 15. the theme seems very realistic and is easier for an audience to engage with as to the portrayal of the protagonist and his behaviour, this could be further connoted as they have tried to stitch the audience into the film. concept. 



Donnie Darko

From a sound viewpoint, very little can really be said in regards to the scene since there is no non-diegetic sound at all as soundtracks or voice-overs. All that you can hear in it is dialogue between characters or the sound of an article e.g. the writing slate as it is being moved into the classroom. 


With mise-en-scene, the environment of a classroom setting is conveyed with the outfits of the on-screen characters being synonymous with school uniform. The props additionally add to this setting with the writing slate specifically having undertones with classrooms and school by and large. The lighting utilized as a part of the scene can be said to convey very much a practical look to it all, with not a single solid differences or shadows in sight. this seems like a bit of an unorthodox film mainly because of the concept and the structure of the concept. this film is set for teenagers and young adults because it is seen as an unorthodox horror and only specific people may understand the concept. 

Girlhood

All through this entire concentrate, there was one principle some portion of cinematography utilized; it was the panning development. This panning development was utilized when the two characters were on one side of the train, moving to the melody they were listening to. This panning development was truly essential to the group of onlookers in light of the fact that when they were doing this camera development, the scene itself was pretty much taken inside of two or three shots. Along these lines, this implied the group of onlookers may have felt that they arrived with the characters while they were moving (made them feel separated of the film). Another motivation behind why the group of onlookers may feel like they are separated of the film is a direct result of how high the camera. As should be obvious, the level of the camera is head stature so it may feel to the gathering of people that that is them and that its a perspective shot


As I would see it, this move ought to be for individuals who are matured 16 or more. This is on account of this motion picture speaks a great deal about medications and has a significant number vicious scenes which isn't something to be thankful for youthful viewers to be viewing. Likewise, individuals are over the age 40 wouldn't have any desire to watch this specific kind of motion picture since it isn't a film that the senior era wouldn't have any desire to watch since it saw at adolescents and youthful grown-ups



eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

With sound, a non-diegetic soundtrack is available towards the end of the scene furnishing the scene with a more passionate tone alongside the diegetic dialogue. Moreover just before the young lady vanishes a mutilated sound impact can be listened (non-diegetic) proposing that she it might be said, very nearly isn't genuine. 


The mise-en-scene in the scene simply like in the past recordings adds to the foundation of the setting in the scene with props, for example, the book truck, additionally simply the book racks themselves. Very little can be said in regards to lighting in the scene either since the scene is depicted in truly a reasonable way on account of that.


A clockwork orange

The clockwork orange clearly depicts the nature in which it has a sociopathic/dilinquent plot to it and explores different elements which refer to horror.From a mise-en-scene standpoint it's clear that natural light is what provides the realistic look to the video. The costumes are on the go in the interest with each person's clothing being uniforms, this idea that this group are a gang of a sort is really brought about. Props barring bolster this with one of the characters possessing a sword cane/cane sword perhaps suggesting that this group are a bunch of outlaws. The sound of the music is diegetic and parallel to the scene, even though it can seem as if the music is non-diegetic as the sound is so clear, through the use of prop makes it realistic

Mest 2- Brief

I will be working with John and Darnell


our first idea could be about John an ordinary science technician who goes to work and goes home and lives an normal life. then John gets court in a mix up with the international police corporation as they think he knows the whereabouts of his aunty and uncle, who are international criminals. John at first is confused but then begins to wonder how much he knows about his family. Leading to a manhunt for his aunty and uncle, putting his whole family in jeopardy. 

another idea as a group we thought about was gang violence and  man who has  a past of being connected with gangs, and then one day people are sent from the gang to kill him without any warning possible. All the information about killing him is given out to the public and now valuable information about his family and important people in his life are given exposed. Now he must go on a manhunt to find the people aiming to withdraw his family from him before they get to his family first.

preliminary exercise evaluation

When it came to arranging me, john and darnell we accepted as a gathering that being composed was a major some portion of the task. So as to accomplish this we set every gathering part an assignment to do as such everybody had an obligation consequently we all added to the gathering. We as a gathering had a due date for all the arranging i.e. the storyboard, shot rundown and script to be all finished by Sunday. This empowered us to get on with the shooting straight away as we had all the imperative components for taping prepared, and we knew how we needed our last item to look.


For our generation the mise-en-scene could be changes on the grounds that we have to take lighting into more thought when taping. The activity code that were utilized functioned admirably particularly when mamduh pulled his hood down which brought on strain. The setting was additionally great as we could utilize the false reflect looking onto a dim room. Sound was likewise utilized well as it was unmistakably listened. Be that as it may, the tender loving care could have been exceptional as the altering format was photograph shopped as opposed to moving with time. The cinematography was likewise great in light of the fact that we had an extensive variety of shoots and we including breaks up and in addition magnificent camera shot functioning admirably with the traditions of a cross examination.

 a further shortcoming would be as said in a matter of seconds before were essentially from sloppiness and correspondence it appears. Individuals were required in badly arranged times and this eventually constrained us to surge the entire creation, furthermore on the grounds that it experienced amid lesson times, a few rooms that we at first needed were being used. I additionally actually believe that the dialog and acting required change for my sake as in my eyes it kind of let down the consummation and the peak of anticipation. Something else to add while underway is to additionally not expect truly what you find in the sneak peak playback, an issue we confronted was that in the review, lights were totally in level, not excessively dull or not too light, but rather when it really came to altering the video, it ended up being way darker and didn't characterize the outline impact much. but in all fairness if we communicated more i guess we could have had a better result for our production.

EBI- re-do question 2

When the character sitting down is concerned, medium shots specifically are predominantly used, which are effective in showing what looks to be despair through his facial expression. As he  lights up the trail with the match though, a tracking shot (in addition to straight cuts) are used to follow the flame as it spreads. After this though, a tilt shot is implemented to show that the flame is being doused by this other character with his urine, who we're shown from a much lower angle. This is able to present him as a quite strong and dominant character in comparison to the other one who is shown from more of a higher angle, in turn providing an opposite effect. 

As this second character walks down the steps another tracking shot is used which in combination with sound, which will be further explained in the next question, suggests the demise of the other character. As both characters converse though, this lower angle is used again, this time however only allowing us to see the torso of this character, his face not in shot. This inability to recognise this character helps add to this mystery of him, adding to this idea that he is something of a villain as outlined in Vladimir Propp's theory.

Camera work is also used to put the more violent elements of the scene off-screen, as we don't actually see the character sitting down being shot. Rather, all we view is the barrel of the pistol before this takes place through a medium shot, with the sound of the gunshots letting viewers understand what exactly took place. As the killer flees from the scene of the crime, a tracking shot is implemented again which further adds to this idea of this villain character being able to: 'live to fight another day.'

preliminary task

1. in the far corridor lies a dormant science technician,(John to be exact) who as he is walking along the corridor notices something very suspicious in a dark room.

(John pauses turns to enter the interrogation room)

2. (In interrogation room/ unknown classroom)

 Enters character 2 (second in command concerning interrogation) who then grabs John and places him on the chair in a dramatic way.

At first John is bewildered as it may seem on the contrary how a regular science teacher can be caught up in such an unknown and confusing situation.

3. Character 3- (main interrogator character enters from the dark corner)

He then begins to question how much John knows about his family, and talks about how John’s uncle and aunty live a bonnie/Clyde styled life and are international criminals.

  4. (John stands up dramatically, with a bewildered face)

 John begins to express how he has no idea about any family situations involving crime, but the main interrogator does not believe him

John then sits down, knowing he is caught in a mess which he will soon due to regret!

editing

The scene i decided to pick was from The Dark Knight Rises, in which batman and bane encounter on their second battle. I chose this scene because it implicates different narratives in particular, and effectively seduces the audience.

In this scene the exorbitant utilization of straight cut removes all as tautness highlights the development of pressure. This is uncovered when a cut-away is utilized toward the begin of the battle keeping in mind the end goal to give the gathering of people they may be endangered during the  strained battle that will happen. Because of the use of  action codes for instance when the charge by batman towards bane. As the battle turns out to be more serious there's a more regular jump shot to a nearby shot of a women in which enigma codes could be asked'who is this women?'. The nearby  container could have been used to stress her nervous outward appearance. Applying Propp character hypothesis, Batman is obviously the primary hero and the saint as he is attempting to defeat the villain and create a new equilibrium. The diegetic sound during  the battle is occurring gives the feeling of uncertainty batman will win the battle against the ferocious villain in bane, in which a disequilibrium is involved as the audience do not expect the villain to defeat the hero.
The parallel sound we continuously hear of men fighting fits perfectly with the scene as it connotes the importance of batman and banes second fight as this could crucially determine the outcome of weather the villain prevails the hero or if batman gets the upper hand against bane. the speech at the end in which batman states "then i give you my permission to die" implicates batman has the full confidence to believe he has defeated bane and that is where the equilibrium is put in safe keeping.

Keeping in mind the end goal to have a decent/effective generation I think a ton of arranging needs to happen and everybody must make a decent commitment to the work. On the off chance that you are working in a gathering I trust everybody ought to add to thoughts for arranging and have just as set assignments. Having a gathering pioneer would be a smart thought as well as they can beware of whatever remains of the bunch's advancement and verify that everything is running easily. According to the two creations that I've picked I've seen that 'the analysis' was better as far as bringing on strain attracting the gathering of people. A basic and clear story was depicted without exaggerating the measure of clasps and distinctive shots they utilized. I think keeping it minimal is important because if you add too much to the story you may begin to confuse your audience or even give away the whole story. The less you give them , the more they want. Another aspect of a good practical production is the props you use and the way the characters act. Using props in your film is a must as your scenes will basically be boring without them. Things like weapons, bags , bottles etc. make a difference in your film especially if close-ups are used on them as they could be significant later down in the  In terms of characters acting I think a ton of feeling must be put into it to make it more sensible , the characters must go about as if they are truly in that position with a specific end goal to offer the film account to the group of onlookers. In conclusion never forget to spare your work like clockwork , as loosing a great deal of diligent work would take a considerable measure of time and vitality to do once more

The experiment was one essential productions because of the use of different camera shots , diegetic and non-diegetic sounds which created a lot of tension for the audience. The 2 minute clip begins with a non-diegetic sound which is a voice over , this instantly signifies to the audience that a story was going to be told. As the voice over is played a number of shots are also played at the same time , allowing the audience to understand the concept of the story clearly. One of my favourite shots in this short production was the panning shot of the main character when she was running away. The panning shot allows the audience to feel as if they are the main character themselves as instead of seeing her run off out of the shot and out of our sight we continuously see her running which makes us feel like we are going wherever she is going. This creates tension as we are now more engaged with the film and we know that she is in danger so we feel as though we are in danger too. In terms of cinematography in the beginning of the short clip we are shown text on the screen which again engages the audience as we are basically forced to read it as if we don't ,we may feel as though we missed some important key aspects of the film. I also noticed the contrast between the dim and bright lighting in different scenes. At first when we are introduced to the main character and her story a lot of things are in black and white and dim lighting however, when we see her in the big green field this shot is in colour. I feel as though this was done to show the contrast between her dark past and her 'new beginnings' , perhaps her running away from her problems will be her new life. In terms of editing I noticed a lot of straight cuts were used in order to speed up the pace of the film , this is a great technique if you want to create tension and make the audience more engaged as they are intrigued into the story.

Labrat

To begin with in terms of mise-en- the camera work of close-ups and medium shots of the scene were truely breathtaking, that comprised of grass and tree limbs. The account was likewise exceptionally straight - story was not confused and was justifiable. The mis-en-scene was significantly illustrated, for instance hoodies to hint something mysterious, and the cosmetics wounds were amazing as well. More so we can see a lot of props being used which helps the audience to understand the film narrative more clearly. The use of the lab coat, glass beakers and other scientific equipment tells the audience that the main character may actually be a smart boy with hidden talents. This creates enigma codes as they may ask questions like 'what will he do with the equipment?' and 'does he have hidden talents?'. The use of the non-diegetic sound , which was the main character's voice over, allows the audience to understand the film's narrative clearly as he begins to tell us his story. I can also see a number of different camera shots such as close ups, long shots and medium shots. The use of close-ups of the main character's hands shaking and his black eye shows us great detail of his emotions. We could easily tell that he was nervous when his hands were shaking and the extreme close-up of his black eye signifies that some violence may have occurred which may tell the audience that the genre for the film is action or drama.  I personally really liked the main characters acting , his body language and facial expressions contrasted very well with the film narrative. In the beginning of the short film he looked very distressed and upset whereas towards the end where he was in his own quite space he looked very happy. He appeared to be extremely reluctant and insecure in the first place, particularly when he was in effect physically manhandled. However when he entered the lab his shoulders were up-straight and he appeared to be exceptionally certain about what he was doing. As far as altering I saw that a great deal of straight slices were utilized to make a snappy pace for the story and to rapidly hop into distinctive scenes. There were additionally some blur in shots used to go into distinctive scenes with a specific end goal to depict a flashback to the crowd

in the opening scene of batman the dark knight a close up of the jokers mask is used to expand the uncertainty and curiosity concerning the jokers actions. the establishing shot used when the men are using the zip wire is effective to establish the setting and the joker and his men are planning something big which could affect the city of gotham and portrays his criminality.  the over-the-shoulder shot around (0.8 to 0.10)of one of the heist men implicates something illegal is about the happen.the extreme close up to the jokers at the end when he is resolved as the remaining member of the heist, and we usually associate clowns with bad images or childhood nightmares( for example the 1990 film it) .This scene is relevant to the film as it is portrayed as a fantasy film that is grounded in to reality. The characters of Batman and The Joker do not exist in real life but the setting and the way it is film makes us believe that the events of this film could happen even though it is a fantasy, this is what we aim to do if we want to construct a film.This creates irony of the mind power the joker has as the power he has to initiate only himself to survive the heist can be conceived as pretty impressive.

Diegetic sound is used to symbolise a regular happy ending in which audiences are familiar with on a regular basis with TV series, this is clearly explaining from 17 seconds onwards to 55 seconds. the close up of jack while he is saying his speech implicates how much temperament and dejection Emily/Amanda has to go throughout the series. at around 2.10 when Amanda/Emily stands up it could be shown as relief as she can finally feel comfortable lies about her past have been resolved.

Lighting Analysis

1. Identify examples of high and low-key lighting.
2. Say which depict top, back or under lighting.
3. What effects are created by the lighting in each image? 

From this tail-end image we can depict that one high key lighting would be the smoke luring around the image which gives more of the impression she is a dominant femme fatale. There is an example of low key lighting around the head area of the women which gives a glimpse of her clear cut eyes aiming write at the viewer. 

I think a under lighting is being used to indicate the woman's presence in the picture can't be misconceived. 

In contrast the lighting gives the audience a perception of mystery and uncertainty towards the woman as she can be viewed as having control. 

1. In this picture there is high-key lighting which brings out the dominance in the man's appearance. 

 2. There is also back lighting to give you a clearer understanding of the image as well as it makes the image seem more realistic to our society.

3. The effects we get from this image is because of the high key lighting we get a clearer image as viewers of the man's eyes which are essentially powerful and gives him capability.

1. This picture would be an example of low-key lighting, why it is used would be to bring out the mysterious features on the women's face.

2. This picture would display back lighting to bring out the characters superior authority and stern facial features.

3.  The effects created in the image would be his smug look would show a pretentious effect around his face.

the lighting used in this picture would be high key-lighting as due to the lighting being produced above her head. There is upper lighting has been employed to vaguely seen to explore the characters facial expression.

This image would display low key lighting to compact the shadow.  Also from the back lighting the characters expressions are revealed as eerie and mysterious which could symbolise her uncontrollable and vulnerable state.

The lighting in this image used is high key lighting as this implies the romance is being connected from one character to another as they are in a compassionate embrace. The light is realistic as it is coming from a natural source which allows the viewer to relate to this scene. The fact that it is quite enclosed and the lighting is dim links back to the romance of this scene,

This low key lighting suggests the gun is more brightly lit which could comply he is authorised to live by and die by holding the gun. More so from his facial features explain he has a stern personality and is living a criminal lifestyle. This can easily imply he is a protagonist by nature.

This image I would say depicts both high and low key lighting which creates a site of emphasis on the females face. The shadow on her neck emphasises on her prayer as her face is in the light and the contrast allows more focus on her face.

This is low key lighting and the use of under lighting too. This creates strong contrasts between the light and dark and emphasises on her facial features.There is a sense of worry on her face as shown from her facial expression, and this adds onto the atmosphere of the entire scene.

The lighting used in this image is backlighting which hides the identity of the people as their facial features arent visible.  This makes them seem mysterious as we are unaware about who they are. Their shadows are in front of them which is unusual as shadows are usually in the background which adds onto the mysteriousness of this image which is probably the aim of it.

Mise-en-scene

Match of the day

This show is called match of the day and it is based around a number of ex football players such as the great Newcastle striker and all time premier league top scorer Alan shearer and former Leicester and Barcelona striker and a true gentleman and presenter Gary Lineker. There are many other great players/actors but i do not want to go into to much detail about that. The setting is based in a studio which is also primarily used to film match of the day 2 and the football league show. This show is based around players/actors analyzing previous games shown earlier on in the day and giving there key thoughts/ideas on how well the teams or players have performed or if there is any level of improvement. One key prop in which the players/actors use is a visual screen to pick out players positions on the pitch and this technology gives viewers a better understanding and view of the players position weather its good or bad. This technology is better used by the sky sports panel of Gary Neville and Jamie Rednapp, but that shows that information technology is increasing year by year and is becoming frequently available on a regular basis.

This  film just like paid in full is also based around crime, drugs and betrayal, but tells six different stories.There is ex-dealer Kirby, who has just been released from prison, thug Ed who will stop at nothing to find his missing phone, troubled Michelle who is just looking for her next hit, young Jake who finds himself drawn to the local gang, Chris, who seeks revenge, Katya, who is desperately trying to escape this foreign land, and Aaron, our main protagonist who is just trying to do the right thing. In more meanings it gives a clear insight on the background of gritty London the media fail to expose ever since the distinguished London riots in which saw the government exposed to such a great length.

This film is based around a stock broker Jordan Belford who subsequently rose to the top of wall street through his company Stratton Oakmont and how his firm engaged in corruption and fraud. This film is essentially gripping as it is based around a true story, and shows the insights of his greed and his abuse of drugs which can be seen by viewers as upsetting. It mainly shows his downfall and how his actions result him putting his own values over his family, especially wife and daughter, which quite unexpectedly caused his wife to leave him as his drug abuse came to an overall high. Towards the end Jordan goes to jail for 36 months (3 years) and how he exposed all of his employees at Stratton Oakmont involved in the fraud scandal in which he makes $22 million in three hours upon securing the IPO of Steve Madden(who also went to prison or his part) just to avoid a substantial prison sentence.

film poster analysis

As the supernatural extension of the first film, "Scary Movie 2" casts its satirical eye on such iconic classics as "The Exorcist" and "Poltergeist," as well as the more recent films "Hannibal," "What Lies Beneath" and "The House on Haunted Hill." In addition to all things supernatural, it lunges even further, taking on pulp icons including "Charlie's Angels" and "Mission Impossible 2." the expressions on the actors faces could suggest they are mocking drastically big films.More so the title 'scary movie' suggests the movie may not be scary as if it was scary the cover would have more of a demeaning look to it not a comedic look.



Deckard (Harrison Ford) is forced by the police Boss (M. Emmet Walsh) to continue his old job as Replicant Hunter. His assignment: eliminate four escaped Replicants from the colonies who have returned to Earth. Before starting the job, Deckard goes to the Tyrell Corporation and he meets Rachel (Sean Young), a Replicant girl he falls in love with.What we get from the woman smoking a cigarette is that she may be the protagonists main love interest and she is a laid back femme fatale. The use of lighting suggests it is a sci-fi genre movie.



The central image is of a boy who has facial expressions which could suggest a sense of enigma and mystery as his facial expressions could link to the title 'i'm not scared' which could may give the viewers an idea that he has fears of going into the whole as he may dread going near that whole. The film title could give the idea the film may be a horror or even a thriller.



Frankie Dunn (Clint Eastwood) is a veteran Los Angeles boxing trainer who keeps almost everyone at arm's length, except his old friend and associate Eddie "Scrap Iron" Dupris (Morgan Freeman). When Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank) arrives in Frankie's gym seeking his expertise, he is unwilling to train the young woman, a transplant from working-class Missouri. The idea we get just from the plot could suggest Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank) is the main protagonist of the film and she may have her eyes set on future success in the boxing industry. This movie may be a sports drama as it may tell the back story on how hard she worked to be a successful boxer.

 

The colour scheme could imply this is centered around a marriage about a boy and a girl from different backgrounds (one from hollywood and one from bollywood) and from the characters facial expressions it may suggest it may be a romantic comedy.


This movie is an art house movie as it is shown in many different countries. The dull background could imply it may be a serious film with a message and a meaning behind it and the reason the central character may not be showing his face may be he is looking into his future and it shows no hope.


 

From the central image we may suggest it is an adventure/ action movie. Our theory is made more clear by the wrecked ship in the image and the protagonist (Johnny Depp) holding a gun in his hand. We could as viewers get the idea from the sub title 'dead man's chest' that the characters could be going through an adventure to try an retrieve the chest from the antagonists clutches.

I think the film is based around a criminal thriller. Just from the central image, we can connote from the characters facial expressions that he may be the main protagonist. In contrast we can conclude there will be a sheer amount of violence in this film.
