Blog Post #28 Character Development Part: Two

Today I will be continuing my research and connection of my film through the Character Development of characters.


The use of the convention of main ideas also helps push the plot of the movie, this is through the actions of the main characters based on these ideas. An example of this is when after the guards fully trust John, they bring him to the bed side of a dying women where John heals the women and endures the pain that she had gone through. This shows how through the character development of the guards the plot is able to expand leading to the convention of the Todorov Plot Structure and also more interesting sequences for the audience to enjoy. Also, through the use of these ideas the film is able to influence the audience's ideals, and it can help teach people important ideas and morals. For example, the idea to "never judge a book by its cover" is influenced on the audience in this film and it can teach this important moral. So, this is how the simple use of character development through the guards helps convey the central ideas of the film and the plot of the film "The Green Mile".



This links to my film because of the character development that the side characters in my film go through with them beginning the film by starting to resent Saquon because of his successes. But throughout the process of the film the side characters begin to have a development arc with them realizing that they shouldn't be jealous of Saquon's successes but rather embrace them and try to help him reach his fullest potential as a player. An example of this is when Saquon is playing with his teammate at the park with his coach there and a scout introduces himself to Saquon. This creates jealousy for the teammate but throughout the film the teammate learns to respect him for his talent rather than resent him for it.

  Today I will be talking about social media and its affects on our perspectives. So, everyone that we know and mostly everyone in our world uses social media for everything from sports to politics. This use of social media can help us in many ways such as staying up to date on the current fashion trends, helping us stay entertained with fun videos, and even helping us with day-to-day situations through tutorials. That being said social media can also cause many people to unfortunately suffer at the end of social media. This includes spreading mis-information, cyber bullying, and even identity theft. So with that being said let's look at some ways that social media can hurt or help athletes across the globe. An example of social media helping athletes is Ja Morant, where his highlight plays throughout college helped him develop a name for himself as a highlight reel machine and this helped attract the attention of NBA scouts. He wasn't in a flashy college like Duke or Kan...

Blog Post #6 Sports in Film

Today I will be analyzing The Longest Yard, which is a Sports Films and how it is good at helping convey the other genres in that film through its different micro elements, specifically Mise-en-Scene. The Longest Yard The Longest Yard is a football movie that is centered around a star quarterback who got into trouble with the law, this getting him arrested. Then this brings up the location which is centered in a prison with the quarterback ("Paul Crewe", The main character) having to put together a football team to compete with the guards of that prison. This is because the prison wants to humiliate the prisoners and make it seem as though they are nothing compared to the guards of the prison, it will also re-assure the public about their prison security and their overall security system. But that doesn't go as planned because the "Coms" win and prove everyone wrong, becoming the crowd favorite and partially restoring their public image in the process. This conn...
