Reflection 3

Movies

In this portfolio about just movies. When I learn pop culture in my country, I didn’t learn movies, that’s why it was news for me. Before I didn’t think movies have big role in pop culture. Now we have finished learn about movie. Of course, I got many knowledge about movie, I didn’t know too many genres. I didn’t like to watch films; may be after that I will be interested. We learned history of movies. First motion picture was in 1890s. First animation was 1906, funny faces. Lumiere Brothers did first projection Cinematograph in 1895. Big 6 studios appeared in 1920s. These are; Warner bros, Paramount picture, Columbia picture, Universal picture, Walt Disney Studio and 20^th Century Fox. All the Hollywood Studio, Hollywood film was leisure, luxury and party scene.

We learned genres, genre is type of movies. Main genres are; Action film, adventure, comedy, crime, drama, epics, horror, musical dance, western. I did genre presentation, everybody explained one genre, I explained about spoof, Spoofs is specific type of Comedy, it is similar with; parody, satire, lampoon, farce. It is usually a humorous, imitates (mimics) the style. When I heard spoof, I remember about Charlie Chaplin, he usually acted with mimics in comedy.

We got homework about Movie Industry, we should look big studios websites. When I clicked their website, first impression was just advertising title about movies. Then written about actors and news. We read Tyler Perry’s money machine. Because Perry’s movies make good money than others. How I understood, his movies characters are unsubtle, his humors are broad, and his plots are soaked with melodrama. He shows themes are love, fidelity and the important of family. Perry Tyler’s movies have bid budget; he wants to show African American people also have big money to produce that kind of movie. His movies actors are African American; he shows that African American people are good. 

We got assignment about the movie poster. I did movie poster about love, true love can change people, that’s why I chose title “Love changes a person”, Hero’s name is Maksim, he was working in the office, most time he spent there. He has girlfriend, he doesn’t love her, he thinks no love, love is just respect each other. His life style was classic; his clothes were classic and drove car classic. He usually didn’t walk outside. But one day when he was in train, he got acquainted with one lady, he got other feeling, just he loves. Lady’s hobby is singing at the street; she is a singer in beginner step. He always tried to find her at the street, he started walk outside, he couldn’t work and he thought just about that lady. One day he changed life style, he starts sing at the street with lady, her name is Alla Pugacheva. My spot is like that, I tried do something interesting for my classmate, but I didn’t show yet.

I don't like watch movies, sometimes I watch melodrama not horror. Because when I watched horror film I will scare and I could watch horror film. If I watched any kind of film, I will think bout it. that's why I don't want to watch film. My bumper tricker is "keep calm and don't watch movies". Usually movies are not useful. 

 I learned more about movie, I didn’t interested movies. I mean I didn’t know nothing about movies, now I learn history of movie, bid studios and genres. After that, when I watch film I will look studios and genres. Movies have big role in pop culture, because movies also change every time, they show about people life, that mean movies show popular culture.
