Hi all Cinemaaa students!

Last week, we looked at the types of main genres, and the sub-genre categories as-well.

Just a note: Remember to only choose ONE main genre when answering a question in the exam. Do NOT put a sub-genre as your answer. Only if it asks you "What is the main genre and sub genre for this film?"

We saw the film Requiem For A Dream, which is a psychological (sub) Drama (main).


This movie used alot of new techniques of filmmaking - including a reverse POV and experimenting with high/low speeds.

Personal detail

Name:Will Smith

OLD BOY (2003)
Director: Chan-hook, Park
Main Character: Dae-su, Oh

Dae-Su is kidnapped and thrown into a locked room with no windows and only a television set for company. As the weeks turn into months, he works out, trains himself and tries to find a way out of his cell, slowly going insane in the process, especially after learning that he has been framed for his wife's murder while imprisoned.

He tries to kill himself on several occasions, but when he gets too out of control (or just needs a shave and haircut), he is gassed unconscious by his unknown captors.

Oh Dae-Su occupies his time with teaching himself to fight, shadowboxing in his room and exercising to keep himself in shape.

The acting is excellent all round, but the character of Oh Dae-su, played by Choi Min-sik.

In a pivotal fight scene, Dae-Su fights his way through a hallway full of gangsters armed only with a hammer, which Park shoots with a single camera following him from one end to the other without a single edit.This shows his strong body and mind and shows perfect character in this movie.

Megamind is a aline who has super power n is sent to earth by his parents who he is still a baby.He has a big blue head and small blue body. He is a bit unlucky because the location he lands is a prison compare another super baby called metro man  who is sent to earth at the same day with him. Here it is a big turning point they have different education ,are risen by different people , these all make people have different attitude to them. People like metro man dislike megamind because metro always save and solve the problems those megamind make.Thats why at the begin of this movie all the people will think that megamind is a bad guy but actually he is not. After finishing the whole movie i just only can say his bad is just naughty. He turns to be naughty because he wants get peoples' attention, he needs someone to care about his feeling and he needs to be loved. He beats with metro man because he feel he wanna get peoples' attention, i can say he just a bit give up on to be a good guy.He does not think people will like him anyway and also he feels longly we can see from after he wins metro man and controls metro city. He just realizes these are not what he wants. Finally he just be himself the rest part of movie because he get encouraged by his lovely lady, he is trust by. Here it is a second turning point he becomes good guy not naughty anymore.

From whith movie: Mary & Max

Max is autism. He is easy to nervous, he hates people litter. He can not recognize the human emotion from people’s face.

He likes chocolate and noble (TV program). And because he eats a lot of chocolates, he is fat and his doctor asks him to go to the club, talk to others and lost weight. But that would makes him nervous, and he eats lots and lots chocolates to clam himself down…bad recycle.

Besides, he is kind and happy living in his own life.

Also, he loves himself. Not narcissism but he thinks positive with his life. He would not hate the life or hate himself although he is autism. He accepts his weakness, he thinks weakness is part of our human being, we can’t choose. But we can choose the one to be our friends.

Character Analysis

--Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson have Bright and frank personality, and her don't decorate your attitude and expression, her is very simple and clear person who want to be independent strongly, and her don't so much rely on others. She is filled with generous, have a charm creating warm humanity, people gather around you automatically. Very generous and her does whatever she can for someone. And Scarlett Johansson is relied by others, or you care for the junior or younger in many times. Since her is a self-confidential person, must have no doubt for successful your act. She thinks that your own thought is more than the other's one. Her never don't hear the advice from others, and sometimes her become disobedient, overall, her is a good actor.

Billy Elliot is a 2000 British drama film written by Lee Hall and directed by Stephen Daldry. Set in the fictional town of "Everington" in the real County Durham, UK.
The film is set during the 1984–1985 UK miners' strike, and centres on the character of 11-year-old Billy Elliot (Jamie Bell), his love of dance, and his hope to become a professional ballet dancer. Billy lives with his widowed father,older brother, and his invalid Nan, who once aspired to be a professional dancer. Both Jackie and Tony are coal miners out on strike.
Jackie takes Billy to the Sports Centre to learn boxing, but Billy didn't like the sport. He is instead ballet class . But Billy Elliot's father and his older brother don't support him in pursuit of his dream to become a ballet dancer.
With the help of a local ballet teacher who secretly takes him under her wing, Billy persists and his talents as a ballet dancer develop impressively.
Finally,Billy face to his father and let his father know that how much he loves of ballet. And he finally become a professional dancer.

The movie is a comedy about car racing and how to build the confidence for youth.

The main character is Takumi Fujiwara, but I'm not gonna analyze him. In my opinion his father is a key character in the movie.

In most of the audience he's a bad father who's without sense of responsibility. Smoking and drinking all the time and very randy even to his son's girlfriend-_- He also always beat his son and make him a introversion.

But actually he's very helpful no matter in the movie or out of the movie.

In the movie he's the trainer of Takumi Fujiwara. He trained his son in his own way to make him a really awesome car racer. Like when Takumi Fujiwara's TOYOTA AE86 is dead, he help him to fix it and change the engine to make it much more powerful.

There're also some detail to show he's really care about his son which is his smile! When he knows his son win the GTR, he smiled. When he know he'll race with FC, he smiled. And everytime he ask about the car racing knowledge, he always smiles. So we can see that he's bad temper didn't stop his son's way to be a succesful car racer.

Out of the movie, he's duty is make the movie much more funny. Everytime audience saw him, they know some funny story will happen. The second duty is to tell how awesome his son is. We can know much more information why Takumi Fujiwara is so powerful by he's phone call to the boss of the gas station.

Also when Takumi Fujiwara break up with his girlfriend, he seems like really care about that, that means he's a good father anyway. That's why I really love this character.

Step Up 2: The Streets
The main character named Andie West, her big dream of becoming a street dancer.So she joins a dance crew called “410”,and it keep the title of the illegal competiton,The Streets. But her supervisor Sarah think that is a really bad for her .so she want to sent Andie to live with her aunt in Texas if she does not change. She get a audition for Maryland school. The crew decide to kick her out, then, she meet a good guy called Collins, he encourage her do not forget her dream. So she do not give it up, so she run her own crew, she have many good members in her crew, they want to beat the crew“410”.eventually, she win the competition, her dream come true.
Andie is a really brave girl, she knows what she wants. And never give it up, she believe that her dream will come true. So she effort to practice dancing .she is really nice girl, and she is very easy-going, every body wants to make friends with her.

My character is an animation character. Her name is "Chibi Maruko-chan"due to her younge age and small size. She lives together with her parents,her grandparents and her elder sister in a little town. In school, she has many friends and plays together everyday.She is a naive girl and likes to have a day-dream.She is lazy and always does some funny things.

Nevertheless,she still a goodness girl.

He looks little bit cold. He tells little bit rude way. He does not show his real thought or mind to any others, but we can see his real mind is warm.

Scene Analysis

I would like to take something about Lost in Translation. The scene which I’m going to analyze is the last few minutes of the movie.

Scene about the leading people is going to be separated to each other. The man sitting in the car saw the girl the crowdy street, and then he came out to the girl. They hug, kiss and talked a little bit, then left each other in the street.

At first I would like to talk about the Mise-en scene.

In this scene, the first attract us is the crowdy main street. Many people, shops, busy traffic. The man can see the girl from inside car, it tells us they are the two people that are so special, so secluded from this city. And shows that the girl is so important to the man. The car using here I think also shows the difference class between the man and the girl. He is at the high class of the society, but not the girl. It can be told the position is not that important in their relationship.

The actors here are mean to perform how the strong feelings they want to let each other know. The hug here is the best way to express the emotions. The time at the last they go away to their Owen worlds, they were both smiling coz they already got what they need, the understand between each other.

Sound at the first is the crowdy background. Its like the leadings are so separate from this city. They do not care about what ever happen around them but each other. Then some music came out when they said goodbye to each other then turn around. the music keep going to the end of the movie. It is a kind of light music that tells us their mood at that moment both are good, even happy.

The lighting in this scene is normal. It is a simply fine story that can easily happen in any people's daily life. Coz almost all the people in the world do feel lonely in somehow case. It is like a real story that happens in a real world. So the lighting here just normal using the original color and lighting.

Then I am going to talk about the Cinema Tography.

In this scene many medium shot are used. And then they hug each other using the long shot. The long shot here take the leading actors inside and the background street. The camera focus them so that make background blur shows like there are only them two in this world however the world here is pretty much crowdy.

The camera movement in this scene used tracking. The camera follow the man actor from he get out of the car until he find and close to the actress. Then the camera turn around like from the actress's side to see the actor. Using these techniques to perform how is that and the process of their meeting each other. In the end of the movie, the man go back to his car with smiling on his face, the camera begin to move to the buildings, the scenery outside. To take around this modern city shows like the camera just follow the man's eyes sight to let us have a look at this city again. But this time is not feeling that lonely, instead, there seems like contains some special emotion inside. And the camera angle here used the low angle to take the big city outside the car. The main idea here maybe is to start with the man's eyesight to take around this city. And from the actor transit to the city stuffs through the man's eyesight as well.
