Study for fistful of dollars

Fistful of Dollars is a movie that was filmed in Spain. The release date for the film was 12 September 1964. The genre of this fantastic film is; western and action which I feel is a great combination because if it was just western movie it would make Fistful of Dollars have less realism as if: it is just fully a wonderful place making it look like propaganda film... like when the Nazi did that to people around the world making just a peaceful film on a farm which has no action personally. The reason why it would be a propaganda film is because people would be influenced by a peaceful life that is impossible around this world if it just was peaceful western movie or any other genre.

	Aldo Sambrell	...	Rojo gang member (as Aldo Sambreli)

The director of this movie is Sergio Leon an Italian director that has done trilogy of the film Fistful of Dollars which mesmerized me because my first conviction was that, he made one film for Fistful of dollars but he produced three films that relate to the same series. I also know the lead actor was Clint Eastwood is the protagonist in the film (though he would not have name in this specific film).

About halfway of the film I could tell on what was happen to happen next this made me felt that film was almost too predictable such as; the protagonist (who has no name) was going to get beaten up by a gang of people. However there was one time I felt that it was brilliant because it had an unexpected twisting in the ending, it the time of (1:8:23 seconds). So basically it is about two ignorant antagonists that are literally are pathetic, stony, thoughtless and cold blooded rascal humans, that comes into a room and a barrel starts to roll from out of nowhere and smash into them. This scene made me felt exhilarated, over the moon, delighted and overjoyed.



Throughout the film I could analysis that some of the camera movement looked very decent, (1:09:30.5 seconds) the camera technique that they used was a track trying engage me to join in though, I personally would not join them because they are antagonist, even though personally I would lock them in, if I had to be with these type of people. I also think they used the artificial lighting well when the horses was coming into the scene because the dessert would have been too dark.

I have studied thoroughly on Fistful of Dollars but this week I will be composing my review. After watching the film twice I started to acknowledge that these problems may be a contemporary and also current event that has happened in the real world. The ways that this film relates to the real world is the props that they such as the guns. Guns relates to the real world because people take advantage of using it by shooting a person they dislike or for ridiculous reason. this connotes and violence and that some people don't care about it. You can check this by the time of (1 hour 17 minutes and 15 seconds). It denotes a person with a shotgun and also grey checker shirt. Also I feel that this film does attempt to create a specific emotion for the audience such the time (1 hour 1 minute and 19 seconds). It denotes the protagonist giving the mum son to her and also that one is wearing an olden day clothes and also the other one is wearing cowboy costume. This connotes freedom.

The film is about a stranger (protagonist) who comes into town and finds out that there problems around the area as soon as he goes inside the pub. The stranger then gets into a lot of problems and knows that he is being targeted at by the antagonist. This therefore means that there protagonist will lots of challenges. 

On this conclusion I would like to say how I feel the director have done well with the film. Firstly I would like to say that the background element such as the incidental music was spot on. Also I would like to say that I would like to rate the soundtrack 4/5 because soundtrack was us very well in the movie. I also know that the director did well with the money because it was very little for what he got. Finally I also would like to say that this film is one of my favourites so far and appreciate watching this film.

Mise-en-scene

During our lesson in media we were told to take photos of images that will relate to different types of genres which has been shown similarly on TV such as Action, thriller, romance, gangster and family. The genres that we did was Action, Thriller, Gangster and also Family. The reason why we did that; to help people know which genre relates to which ones.

gangster

This is what you could predict in a gangster movie. In a gangster film a person wearing a hood and sitting down comfortably on a weird chair or trolley to show their hierarchy in the group. There is a gangster trailer on the right.

Above on the right hand side This is exactly what you would anticipate from a action film. The reason why is because it will indicate people fighting each other and that there will lots of problems to deal with.

action

This is what you would expect in a thriller film. The reason why this image below relates to a thriller is because it connotes people killing. What you also have to know is that, not all of the thriller films are about killing it is more about crimes that happens around the world.



thriller

 

                      This is exactly what you would anticipate from an action film. The reason why is because it will indicate people fighting each other and that there will lots of problems to deal with.



family

This is probably you would expect from a family film people getting together and speaking to each other. Right  here is a trailer from another genre which has been shown on TV.

Finally I would like to tell you  my best shot and worse shot ever.

The best shot is; 

gangster

 

The reason why I like this shot is because the setting suits the theme. I like to that the actress is unidentified because he is wearing a hoody, over half of his face, so therefore we would not know who this person is. 



The worse shot ever;

family

The reason why that I believe this shot is horrendous is because the actors are looking at the camera when they are meant to look at each other. Also the shot looks a bit dark so we can't clearly see the actors and finally there is not much expression with actors so therefore it looks rubbish.

During the summer holiday I went on a short break so that I could tell about how Summer was.

In the summer I got the opportunity to go places by myself to watch some films and do other activities. So the first thing I did was; I went to the cinema in Ilford to watch a film called Brothers. It is about two brothers who apparently hated through childhood and they still hated each right at this present right now. The brothers hears about the international street fight tournament on news. The brothers then becomes international street fighter and they have fight each others in end. Before I watched the film I watched the trailer to get glimpses on the montage of the film and also the what the film is about. What I like about the film is that it shows a footage of their past and also that the film is filled with action, though it is a Bollywood film with subtitles. what i also like about the film is that it could be relating to a person that has had that problem before and that they would know how to solve that problem.

The next film that I watch was called sinister 2 which is a horror genre. What I like about the film is that it contain lot's of violence in the film which fits with the genre. What I also like is that, the film actually was quite scary at some of the scenes.      

During the summers holidays when I had free time for myself. I was in my room as an individual audiences listening to some of my old songs.

The First song was by Rihanna "Final goodbye". What I like about the song is that the background music sounded quite relaxing because it fit with the way Rihanna was singing. what I also like about the song is that it is quite a personal son which comes from a singer who can sing that type of song.



The next song that I got to listen to was from Bruno Mars and his song was called "Just the way you are" what I like about the song is that it is quite a relaxing song to listen to. what I also like about the song is that it something to do with teenagers and adults and that is what personally fascinated me about the song

During the summer holidays I went on a few websites which I personally like to go on to discovered what things you can do for certain websites
The first website I went on was called Toonget. Toonget is a website that has got animated episodes which comes from Japan, England and the USA. What I like about this website is that you can catch up on episodes that you have missed from the Television and that it is all English rather than English sub. What I also like is that it is all free and that you can watch on episodes again and again. This website also includes forums so you can talk about the episodes that you want to see next.
The next website I went on was called Bollyrulez where it shows all of the latest WWE paper-views for free and also there shows. It also shows Bollywood movies but it does not that the WWE will  be in Hindi which WWE does not contain it is English which what I like about the website mainly.  
 
Finally I would like to talk about the news how might covered up stories. The News is basically people who shared new information to people worldwide. The news industry might get information by getting different stories from watch different news channels. Once they have got enough information they would probably around the evening elaborate the story whether to create less conflicts or not.
