Representation of jack in the first plane crash epsiode of lost.

The scene when jack saves a women from dying he notices her when attending to the pregnant women who he then leaves to help the dying women. When he first arrives at her side he completely takes control despite the fact that a life guard is already trying to help. Despite jack knowing this man is a life guard he tells him straight what he is doing wrong and takes control himself to save this women that makes jack seem very powerful and control as well as medically knowing what to do to bring someone back to life. In this scene there are a couple of mid shots that show not only jack, the life guard and the dying women but also everything going on the background. The plane in pieces and people running around frantically is shown to show that despite everything going on jack isn’t distracted and is dedicated to save this woman.  There was also a high shot looking down on jack resuscitating the women to emphasis what he’s doing and that he knows what he’s doing to help save this women which gives the impression he must be a doctor. There were diegetic sounds going one of people screaming and the power of the plane going which was over the top of the dialogue the life guard and jack were having and when jack was talking to himself. Having these noises in the background again show jacks dedication to saving this woman and that he isn’t easily distracted.

As soon as jack arrives at the crash he comes across as heroic and controlling, as he’s continuously helping people and telling others what to do. He finds a man crushed by a part of the plane and tries himself to lift the plane but sounds for others to come over and help save this man. When he calls people over to help and they listen this shows his power he has over people to tell them what to do. A close is used on his face when he tries to lift to piece of plane off the man to enhance his facial expressions as he’s trying his hardest to move this off a man, which shows his strength and again his dedication. Another close up was used on jacks face when he shouts for some others to help his emphasises his serious expressions and the control over others to help. Again there was diegetic sounds of the plane’s engine and screams of others but these noises doesn’t distract him and he’s still capable of shouting for others over these sounds, showing power and heroic status to be heard. He uses his tie that he’s wearing to help with the man’s wound, this shows his costume, as he’s wearing a tie and smart professional clothing, which gives impressions with what he’s doing helping a man’s wound that he could be a very important doctor.

When jack comes out from the jungle thee camera does a close up shot on his face to highlight his confusion. Then the camera pans round to show the beach to give a paradise impression on the island, this pan breaks the 180 degrees rule of panning round for 180 degrees. Doing this with the pan makes the audience look and feel disorientated as the camera pans round too far showing jack’s confusion and make the audience feel confused. Then the pan edits back to a close up on jacks face showing his facial expression of confusion and shock of being on an island. While the camera pans across the beach sounds of the plane crash start being heard. Sounds of screams and engine sounds slowly are edited into the scene, even on the close up of jack the sounds are amplified and he then runs off towards the sounds. This shows jack as confused and disorientated by the surroundings he is in and despite the paradise look of the island he still sticks to hearing the screams and worries despite the look of paradise.

Rihanna rude boy, Male gaze.



This music video by Rihanna represents women as sexual with her rude and dirty gestures and dancing but at the same she's showing with her lyrics that women can be dominant over males and hold the power which some women don't always show in their music.
The whole song itself is about sex and having sex which comes across being sexually active. The lyrics used are self explanatory, she wants sex and she wants the best and wants what she wants.
In the male gaze with what she is wearing little clothing which is in her culture but at the same time attracts male attention that she's ready and wants sex, desperate.

The Male Gaze

Marjorie ferguson:

Chocolate box, described as a half or full smile, with the lips together or slightly parted, and the face full or three-quarters to camera. The projected mood aims to be soft and sweet, not too hot or cold  (a warm bath kind of warm ), where the uniformity of the woman’s features in their “smooth perfection” (like the surface of a chocolate) is more important than her quirks or individuality.

The Invitational look, which emphasis the eyes, has the head to one side looking back at the camera, and is mischievous and mysterious in nature.

The Super Smiler, with the full face open smile, often with wind-blown hair, is enthusiastic, demanding and exciting.

Romantic or Sexual, is characteristics by wantonness, availability and, as often as not with this look, unashamedly erotic.

Trevor Millum:

Seductive, When a model is posing in the Seductive look they should have their eyes slightly closed, the expressions will be small, but will still show through, they will also aim to look confident.

Care Free look, this look can be linked to sports because it seems as if they are active and healthy.

Practical, this look will include a model who seems to be concentrating something, so their eyes will be focused and their mouth will be closed but not tightly.

Comic, This will be seem as if the actor/model is being stupid, comical, funny and it will normally be exaggerated, to make the most as if to seem that what they are laughing at is very funny.

Catalogue, This will make the model have their eyes wide open, with a big smile as if they are not stupid but quite dumb.

Why Dred failed at the box office

Why did Dredd failed at the box office essay.docx

Dredd Movie Presentation Script

Chloe:
The film was directed by Pete Travis who has directed films such as Vantage Point, Omagh and Endgame. DNA Films (who has done films such as 28 Days Later and the History Boys) produced the film with IM Global (who has done films such as Safe, Insidious and many upcoming films).  Dredd was distributed by Entertainment Film Distributers and Lionsgate. The film got the green light on 20th December 2008.

The cast includes Karl Urban (who plays Dredd) fromm Star Trek and The Bourne Supremacy,  Olivia Thirlby (Anderson) who has been in Juno and No Strings Attached and finally Lena Headley (Ma-ma) who has been in 300 and the Game of Thrones series.

The film received positive reviews from critics. The film had an average rating of 6.5 on the review website Rotten Tomato’s. IGN awarded the film eight out of ten and said, "Dredd is a character study, primarily, one fuelled by violence and action, and we can't think of a better way to re-introduce this character to cinema audiences.” The Guardian's Phelim O'Neill scored the film 4 stars out of 5 and praised Urban's performance, saying, "The essence of Dredd is that he is almost an anti-character—he doesn't change or learn—and Urban nails it in an ego-free performance".

The script for Dredd was written by Alex Garland who began writing in 2006. Garlands draft mainly revolved around one of Dredd’s main enemies called Judge Death. When developing the Judge Dredd character, Garland tried to closely follow what he was like in the comic-books, so he would only have small personality changes over a lengthy period of time.

Will:
A viral advertising site called “Dredd Report” was launched in august 2012. The site consisted of a video showing the use of Slo-Mo and links to news about the film. A tie-in comic book was published on the 5th of September and it is a prequel to the film's narrative and follows Ma-Ma's life as a prostitute. Posters for the film were released shortly after. Reports say that Lionsgate contributed $25 million to advertising and print costs.

Dredd won an Empire Award for best 3D and was nominated for best British film and best science fiction/fantasy film. They also won a Golden Trailer Award for Best Thriller TV Spot for the trailer.

The problem was that the 3D and 2D showings at cinema's were that there wasnt enough showings of them in the UK, so therefore people couldnt find places to watch the film at certain times or even find any showings of the film, as there was report in a review of the film that in some cinemas the film was only showed once so often. I think that Dredd did not have good success because they narrowed down the target audience too much and the sci-fi feel to it would not appeal to a lot of people. I also think that people may have thought that it was too simple and straight forward because the plot was easy to predict.

Jack:
The film was shot digitally and primarily in 3D using RED MX and Phantom Flex high-speed cameras. Some 2D elements were converted to 3D in post-production. Mega-City One’s high rise towers were created in Cape Town Film Studios.

Paul Leonard-Morgan used electronic music and 80’-style synthesisers and modern sounds to create various combinations of music. He said, "I was looking to create a timeless score which couldn't be placed in any particular era. So it's ended up being a cross between a modern dance track and evocative soundscapes." For scenes showing the effect of the Slo-Mo narcotic, he composed new music with real instruments and then slowed the songs down by thousands of percent. The film also includes songs from artists such as Vitalic, Matt Berry and Bobby Womack.

Chloe: I throughly enjoyed watching the whole film of Dredd. It was full of action and excitement with a very grown up yet thrilling persecutive to the cartoon comic judge Dredd. The film had a very gripping and understandable storyline that grow on me as it went through the film, but at the start i wasn't too sure how it would end or how it would all come together as it took a while for it to really get into the story line and become full of action. The only fault was that it ended too quickly and quietly, needed more fight and excitement at the ending of killing 'mama' she died to easily and quickly, despite that all in all was a thrilling and brilliant film to watch full of action and excitement despite its low budget and high loss, i enjoyed the film and will be watching it again.

Will: Although the film and its helmeted main character are straightforward and simple, it actually works better because it is easier to understand and is more realistic. The day-in-the-life style plotis a good way to introduce Judge Dredd and Mega City One and the film mostly avoids doing anything really annoying or irrelivant. I also liked the fact that Judge Dredd is not given a back story and is instead portrayed as the mysterious man with no name and that he never removes his helmet (just like the comics. I also appreciated that this version of Dredd is more hardcore and extremely violent whereas the 1995 version of Dredd was very feeble and comic.

Jack: Sci-Fi movies are not usually in my favor, meaning I don’t really like them. But action films; action films are my biggest interest when it comes to relaxing and watching a good movie. Dredd is a sci-fi and action genre film which means I could love it or hate it. As it happens I loved Dredd, the idea of the slow-mo drug in the film really gives the chance for the producer and directors to show slow, detailed scenes which you don’t get to see in some other films. These scenes are the parts such as gun shots and the detail when it hits the bad guys and you see everything that happens like the skin exploding and blood flying around. This brought a realistic feeling to the film not like in most films where it generally looks like fake killing and blood.
