Blog Post #24 Costuming in Film Part: Two

Today I will be continuing to analyze the film "White man can't jump" and its use of costuming.




The audience is able to identify all of this just through the costuming that is used in this shot, this shows just how important costuming is to the integrity of the scenes and shots. This use of costuming also helps the audience better relate to the film because it is common, everyday clothing that most people wear. This helps the film feel more realistic and less like something that would never seen in the real world. The LA hat that is used in this scene also helps bring character depth to this main character, it helps display that the character was either born in LA, lives there, or that he just like the city of LA. This also helps convey the setting of the plot with it being a place that could be located in or near the Los Angeles area.



This connects to my film trough the use of "street" clothes in order to better relate to the audience and make it more realistic for the scene. This scene will be my first 2 minutes where the main character will be playing pick up basketball to have fun. He will be wearing street clothes to correlate to the normal outfits that are worn for playing basketball. They will also wear lighter color clothes to correlate to the main lighting in the scene being the sun, where it is common to wear lighter colored clothes to correlate with the heat of the sun. This will help make the scene feel more realistic and will help the audience relate to this scene more.

  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...
