Film Research #3- White Chicks

Image result for what awards did white chick make
The first Comedy example I picked was the movie White Chicks. This movie is about two black FBI agents that go under cover as these white chicks to figure out who was trying to kidnap these girls. Within the first two minutes of the film you find out the two main characters who are under cover cops. In this scene it shows them solving a crime while they are dressed up as gas station owners when a drug dealer comes in selling them "ice cream". Some camera shots throughout the opening scene were; over the shoulder (over the dealer looking at the two cops), a wide shot (to show that they are in the gas station), and a close up (of the main characters dressed up). Editing that was done to the film was a shot reverse shot of the deal being made and an eye line match from one of the cops to the dealer. A sound technique used was ambient sound being played to show the authenticity of the two cops playing a role of the store owners. The mise-en-scene that was used were the costumes and make up to help stage the cops to look like gas station owners verses their everyday cop looking out fit. There were no opening credits being played through the first two minutes of the opening scene. The budget for the film was 37 million dollars and they made 113 million dollars total worldwide. The movie White Chicks won and was nominated in the Bet Comedy Awards and Teen Choice Awards.

The second film we decided to watch, to get a feel about what occurs in the oping scene of a comedy movie, was Bad Moms. This movie is based on three moms who try to live a perfect life for their kids and family; however, they have gotten sick and tired of being perfect all the time and have reached the tipping point. The genre of the film is a comedy. In the opening of the film, it gives us a brief background of the main character Amy Mitchel, played by Mila Kunis, how her everyday life is running her kids around to getting to work to having metal break downs. Throughout the film, the movie is consist of film making techniques so it flows together. In the beginning it starts off with an aerial shot of the average family homes in a neighborhood to a close up of Amy rushing her kids in her car. During this time the main character Amy is doing a voice over describing her everyday life over shoots of what she does. The camera is probably places on a track to follow the car parallel as i...

Distribution Research #2

The more traditional distribution process is to send it straight to movie theater and then get it on blue ray or DVD but technology has been progressing and streaming organizations have been growing. One in particular would be Netflix. this company is continuing to grow with the process that they are looking forward towards the future in the sense of possibly taking control of the cinematic distribution. Netflix is a streaming service that allows people to view different TV shows and movies. Sometimes the Netflix will get the rights to air the movie the same day it comes out in the IMAX movie theaters. Our film opening we a constructing together is based on a comedy genre which Netflix could be a huge distribution path we could go down. Netflix just recently announced a deal with Adam Sandler which allows Netflix to air any of his comedy's for the next four years. They are trying to not only distribute certain films but also become down the road and one stop shop for production and...
