Film Research #1- Bay Watch

The second film that we decided to watch was Baywatch. Baywatch is a comedy film that is about a devoted lifeguard Mitch Buchannon, who buts heads with a young new hot shot who wants to be apart of the group and partake in some undercover criminal case solving. In the first two of the film shows a variety of beach scenery shots along with an action scene leading up to the title of the movie. In the movie, there are different film making techniques throughout the opening. For example, there are distinct camera shots such as a long shot of the beach, a wide shot of the girls dong yoga on the beach and a close up of Mitch Buchannon, who is played by Dwayne Johnson. Some editing examples include; shot- reverse shot of Dwayne Johnson seeing a guy parasailing into the rocks to a close up of the guys bloody head back to Dwayne Johnson running to his safety. A sound example would be the incidental music in the beginning of the opening. Mis-en-scene  was used throughout the opening scene which was discovered since they were shooting on location and the costumes represented a real life life guard to show the audience the heroic mood they portrayed.  The main two actions where the only opening credits. The movie budget was $60,000,000 and the revenue came out to be roughly $22.7 million. The awards that Baywatch has been nominated for and won is the Teen Choice Awards and the Golden Trailer Award.
