Twelve angry men

A twelve man jury is set to begin their decision on an 18-year old boy being accused of first-degree, where a guilty verdict means an automatic death sentence, the case appears to be pretty straight forward. The defend has not got a good alibi, he claims to have lost a knife which turns up at the scene of the crime and several witnesses either saw the murder happen or the boy running away, some others heard screaming, all but one of the jurors vote the boy guilty, juror number 8 votes not guilty, first of all his reason for voting not guilty is more for the sake of conversation as all the jurors must have reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty, as the story unfolds, it quickly becomes a study of the jurors different personalities, their preconceptions, backgrounds and interactions, which provides the backdrop to Mr. Davis’ convincing the other jurors

 

 

For a film made in the fifties its was quite enjoyable figuring out if the person was guilty or not suspecting one of the other characters of being guilty and one of the characters that kept saying he was guilty kept holding a picture of his son which makes me think that something happened to his son, this all gets my brain thinking and start discussing plot twists and theories about the other character which made hugely enjoyable, I like dramas that have alot of action but more about thinking if a certain person did it.

the differences and similarities between Sherlock and John Watson

 

The similarities between Sherlock and John are that they are both in their early thirties, they both would kill for each other,  the differences between them is that Sherlock believes himself to be smarter than anyone else at a crimescene and john follows what Sherlock is saying

comedy genre question

 

the main qualities of a comedy protagonist are:

a childish personality e.g: Ace Ventura

the ability to not sit still anywhere for a long amount of time,

usually a scruffy outward appearance

some sort of iconic catchphrase e.g: Ace Ventura ” All righty then”

 

Romantic comedy genre question question

 

The man elements of a romantic comedy film the main character of the film is usually  a man who seems to a hopeless romantic, which he then meets the woman of his dreams, which he is never to see again, the plot thickens as it goes into more detail about the back story of both characters and ending in them either going off with some who they don’t really love and the person of their dreams.

Romantic comedies differ from other comedies as it goes into more character development, series of events that lead up to the end of the film and a story that grips the audience an example of this would be: Notting hill.

Mixing genres and words

Two people from different parts of the universe, fall in love- two young people from distant parts of the universe foster a relationship after a chance meeting.

 

Two people on a train compete to find a secret object- A treasure hunter and a bounty hunter fight each other for a chance to claim a prized idol but before they can get to the jewel they must first navigate through dozens of carrages and armed guards

 

these events change by the characters and the setting the first scernario was about how two people from different parts of the universe create a relationship despite the distance between them and their speicies.

the second the scernario changes to two characters one a bounty hunter and the other a treasure hunter competing against each other to a find a prized idol which the treasure hunter hasa been searching for most of his life and the bounty hunter is tracking down the treasure hunter due to his crime he has commited in the name of Archaeology

horror and thriller genre question

A thriller has more suspense than horror but sometimes less action

• horror has less story than thriller but it has more jump scares when you’re least expecting it
• thriller has some sort of mystery to the story but horror gives you most of the backstory either to the characters or the plot
• the characters in thrillers tend to older than most of the characters in horror films

 

for the horror genre an example would be: Texas chainsaw massacre, as having more gore and blood in the whole

for the thriller genre an example would be: Shutter Island as it more suspense and mystery to the story than the story of the texas chainsaw massecare.
