Blog Post #26 Statistics In Film Part: Two

Today I will be continuing my research in statistics of film genres.



 The Western, War, and Musical genres have seen a decrease in viewership over the course of time. This is because these genres have lost the sense of reality, this is through the lack of large scale wars over the last 25 years, the end of the western stereotype that includes cowboys and ghost towns, musicals have also seen a decrease in viewership because of the lack of engaging concepts and shots in them. Although Musicals are seemingly starting to increase in popularity recently because of their increased use of special camera shots and a more complex and compelling plot. This new sense of creativity is starting to bring certain genres back into popularity, an example of this is Fantasy with many Fantasy films having a new sense of creativity because of the new found technologies that have propelled genres like horror into popularity. An example of a film that has helped push a genre or multiple genres back into popularity is "Wicked" which is a subvert on the original film the "The Wizard Of Oz". This film uses a creative and new plot to captivate the audience along with new found uses of CGI to make the film appealing to the audiences. This film also uses coloring to create an aversive environment for the audience to seemingly explore and create depictions of, this helps keep the audience engaged in the film and  entertained throughout.



This correlates to my film because the statistics through graphs and pie charts can help me introduce certain genre features in order to keep the audience engaged and excited. An example of this would be the use of the Thriller genre in my film to help keep the audience engaged and entertained throughout the film. Like the use of suspense in order to hold onto the audiences attention, this is in order to more easily convey the plot of the movie and that current scene. This use of the Thriller genre can also help convey the other genres in my film, like the sports genre and action genre through the attention grabbing aspect that it will bring.

  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...
