    The layout of the two panels seems to be representing cause and effect scenario. Within the left panel of the cartoon we are given the text box “Im texting while drvng,” placed above a middle-aged looking man with glasses who appears to be hiding his eyes as if he were metaphorically blind. In his hand is a cellphone around which there are movement indicators, and his other hand is on the wheel while his focus is on his cellular device. One is able to come to the conclusion that the man is currently driving by the tassel that is hanging from the front view mirror, rather than hanging straight down it is angled as if the wind were hitting it. In front of the man’s car there is another vehicle that seems he is going to collide with. As there is a lack of space between the two cars. In the right panel of the cartoon the text box is “Lol” placed above a hooded figure with skeletal hands holding a cellular device with movement indicators. The hooded figure appears to be the Grim Reaper that represents death to many people.…

    The main difference, I think I should state before I truly begin between the poster and trailer of Alice in Wonderland (2010) is that one is static and one isn’t. You may think I am as mad as a hatter but I believe it is important to point out just how different they are. Over the course of the next 1000 words, I shall aim to help clarify the difference between the two, mainly in terms of USPs, codes and conventions and mise en scene.…

    used to indicate passion to the audience, and draw their eyes to the logo. This is also apparent in the rule of thirds, because the model’s face is the first third, making it the most significant; the cigarette packet, with the logo, is in the second third, making it still important, yet not as much as her face. This poster is an…

    Year 2055, Day 110. The McCrudo space station orbits three hundred miles above earth. Four antennas extend from the station point to the earth bellow like tentacles. Inside the space station, a two man research team, consisting of MATT and RICKY, conduct various experiments relating to the planetary movements. The whole operation runs smoothly until they lose contact with mission control just several months before they’re supposed to be relived from duty. At first Matt and Ricky dismiss the oddly timed radio silence as just a typical problem with connection, but as they enter a third week of radio silence the duo begin to feel that something might be wrong. Not knowing what else to do, the duo inspect the station inside out in search of what…

    There has never been a time when popular culture has been more pervasive and influential in American society. With advances in technology and creative innovation, outlets for popular culture have expanded greatly and are virtually innumerable. Through the consumption of television, music, magazines, movies, newspapers, blogs, and memes to name a few, American citizens and others around the globe are inundated with ideals and images that work to mold their collective psyche by impacting every facet of their daily lives and by providing a critique of modern-day society. Perhaps much of the influence of popular culture lies in the fact that its primary function is to appeal to the masses; therefore, it is widely and easily accessible to an extremely large audience. Many people in this audience partake in popular culture simply to be entertained; however, they fail to realize the extent to which it shapes their way of thinking in areas such as education, politics, the economy, racial relations, and overall global relations. The analysis of popular culture is an essential practice for the sheer fact that it has such an overwhelming presence in our lives. Space Jam, a highly popular movie made in 1996, blends elements of animation, comedy, sports, and renowned American icons to spin a tale that is not only highly entertaining but provides tropes and narratives that are teeming with insights and critiques of American society.…

    Bold colors attract the eye far more than a grey scale advertisement ever would. With a bright red background, the advertisement will get the much needed pull me in. Then, when we adjust the drawings to a more modern animation, we will have compensated for the huge age gap between the time the ad was made and the time we want to use it for our new line. Rendering the animations to the depth and frequency that of modern Disney films, will not only give the advertisement the attention it needs, but catch it up to the current progress of the Disney parks. With these changes we will have transformed our advertisement from the lacking black and white newspaper advertisement, but to the bright and fun Times Square advertisement, that no one can take their eyes off of. The new animations will be floating around the boldly designed music notes, that are gracefully sashaying across the whole advertisement. A different age group of couples will be riding in each of the redesigned Disney park rides, that are dancing on the music notes. The couples will ride in succession with gleaming smiles plastered onto their faces. Although, the rides in the ad will represent the rides that Disney currently offers, but they with be even more vibrant and colorful than in real…

    This is a powerful message, sent to an audience of millions, which has monetary and socio-political implications worldwide. Unlike the cave painters of Lascaux or the hieroglyphic pictographs of Mesopotamia, this message will be heard by many, not just idle passersby. This new art form, the Hollywood movie, compared to methods used in the past to depict the message of its author, is dynamic in its theme and presentation. Never before has there been such a way to convey the aspect of human emotion; all previous attempts seem mono-dimensional at best. The new multi-dimensional aspects of film, allow the audience to see facial expression and hear vocal conversation; all while being surrounded by the interactions of the world around them. If the humanistic tradition is our cultural legacy…

    The title graphics mix into the film’s opening scene. ‘Paramount Pictures Presents’ is printed in white block capitals on the back of a black t-shirt. It fades up from being fuzzy, to being clearer to read. The producer and director’s names are on posters on the wall in the club, again in block capitals and they stand out from other posters that are on the wall. Then the main character, Jack Black, is on a poster on the door. There is a picture of him with horns and three pairs of eyes, then his name underneath it.…

    Kill Bill Poster

    The poster from Kill Bill caught my eye, first by the bright contrasting colors used. The character in the center, is wearing what seems like the same yellow tracksuit made famous by Bruce Lee, is the only person in color and not black and white. She is really gives me the feel that there is going to be a lot of bloody action and martial arts. Once I saw that it is a film from Quintin Tarantino, who is well-known to have a special interest in Asian culture and arts, it really holds my attention even more. The other people that stand behind the front woman in the poster have an eccentric appearance that intrigues me. At the bottom of the poster there is the quote, "Revenge is a dish best served cold," is displayed, which is a Star Trek's Klingon…
