When Mclaffeddy is killed, he returns to town and his boss, Hammond, gives him the case to write up. It requires him to go and talk to Mclafferdy's 2 year wife, who has since reverted to Ms. Janice Wetherby. Seeing nothing more than another murder case, he refuses the job. As he is about to leave the office, Hammond that secrets may be fatal, and that Gyles doesn't want that guilt on his hands. Knowing that the poor widow may be sent to be interrogated, tortured or even killed by the mob, Gyles takes the case, not knowing something sinister lies ahead.
The trailer for The Hobbit clearly effectively expresses the basic storyline of the film, through narration as well as visual montage, while still leaving the viewer wanting more. We are first set up though old Bilbo explaining that he never fully explained his adventures top Frodo and thus, it is assumed this movie is about his exaggerated adventures from his perspective, setting up the plot. By starting off with Frodo from Lord of the Rings, we also are connected to the narrative and backstory of that trilogy. Afterwards young Bilbo explains he is reluctant to go on the adventure, setting up the conflict. We are introduced to the dwarves, through narration and montage of their faces, setting up the characters. These quick clips also add to their character, as each shot gives the dwarves different attributes ranging from fat to agile to raging warrior, and sets Thorin up as leader though narration by Gandalf. Intercut are title slides giving the date of release but also using a map serving to orient the viewer. The mysterious chant of the dwarves and slow tracking shots give an epic and mysterious quality to the shots establishing both feel and setting. It also further establishes Thorin as leader of the dwarves when hes stands up first in the ominous chant. A dutch tilt shot of Gandalf gives another aspect of creepiness to the story, and a shot of Galadriel moving Gandalfs hair in a loving way seems to suggest a relationship not scene in Rings. At the end there a is a quick reveal of everyones favorite Mo-Cap, Gollum. All in all, epic trailer, Pete.
Characterization is "the processes of creating a character, using words, actions, thoughts and appearance. The key to creating a realistic character is adding motivation. By allowing a character to develop strong want or needs allows his to gain a greater depth and realism". And thus, the character and movie I will be focusing on is the cult hit Napoleon Dynamite.
Napoleon Dynamite is a highshooler who lives with his grandma and his older brother Kip.Kip sits "chatting with babes" on internet chatrooms all day, while planning to be a cage fighter. Napoleon daydreams his way through school, drawing ligers (lions and tigers breeded) and his medival fantasies, while reluctantly dealing with the assorted bullies who frequently torment him. To make himself seem more interesting, he continuously makes up lies about him going to Alaska and fighting Wolverines. His uncle attempts to use get rich quick schemes to, well, get rich, whilst his grandma is in the hospital after crashing a dirtbike on the sand dune with her secretive boyfriend, breaking her coccyx.
Napoleon wears cheesy graphic tees and and sweatpants, also donning his signature moon boots, revealing his "dont-care" attitude. His glasses are huge and thick, and he has generic nerd hair. When he goes to the dance, he picks out a outdated, brown suit from the second hand store as well as a dance VHS and a small ninja sword, which he promptly puts on his belt loop. He constantly squints and gets into slap fights with his older brother, as well as being picked on by bullies. He is annoyed but still loves most of his family except for Uncle Rico, a failed football star, who uses him to distribute "Bust Must" female enhancers.
The scene I'm going to be focusing on is the scene where Uncle Rico buys a time machine on the interwebs of cyberspace. With Uncle Rico nowhere to be found, Kip lets Napoleon use the machine, which electrocutes him. His goal isn't really to travel back in time, rather it is to defy his uncle by using the machine (since his uncle bought it). Kip pretends not to know it wont work, devilishly smiling as Napoleon reels in pain. The only obstacle that Napoleon faces is "forgetting to put in the crystals", well and maybe not going back in time. We see that Napoleon is defiant, that Kip is a sneaky trickster, and we have empathy for the uncle. Thus, Napoleon is characterized as the outcast of the family, Uncle Rico, and Kip later going on to run a "10 piece set" scheme in wihc they sell cheap Tupperware.
I think many people cant pin down their favorite film. For me I'm sucker for any one of these tings:
