BAD BOYS II

The movie doesn't use the typical codes and conventions of a comedy as it starts in a very serious atmosphere. The scene is shot on water which is not your typical setting for a comedy due to its dangers. Diagetic sound is excellently used in the movie to portray a sense of realism. E.g. when the pills are being arranged during the opening sequence of the movie, the audience can see on the screen and can also hear the pills being arranged which makes the audience believe in their world.  The music used in the movie is parallel to the action seen on the screen as it fits perfectly and reflects on the action on the screen. This is done to enhance the meaning of the shot.

        The costumes used in this movie are representatives of the characters. It suggests the importance of the character and its status. E.g. the men in police uniforms show the authority that they have and their purpose in the first five minutes of the movie.  The props such as guns are used in the scene to create tension. Music playing throughout the first four minutes of the film keeps the audience interested in the movie.  The pace of the music also adds to the entertainment of the audience. There are variety of shots used in the opening sequence which also keeps the audience interested and focus on each shot.

TWO MAIN IDEAS

THE TEST

Tommy had just come out of foster care, coincidently the “irresponsible man” Ed is forced into caring for him for a month to test his responsibility in order to make his parents proud and to prove he is a changed man. Tommy is six years of age and is now out of foster care. He auditions for a local talent show in hopes of finding a happy family. He is convinced winning would give him more chances of finding a family. He goes through great difficulties in order to find a good family.  The target audience for this movie is children to adults. The target audience is mainly teenage boys so the movie will include action suitable for the age group. It is a family movie as it will include certain features that would make it easier for a family to relate to. It would have PG ratings and would be for children from 10 years onwards. The setting of the movie would reflect on the behaviour of the irresponsible man. This would involve a rough neighbourhood with dark lighting to emphasis on the man’s personality .However when the child gets united with the man being Ed the atmosphere would then contradict his behaviour. The sounds used in this movie would be fast to show the inappropriate lifestyle of the man when the titles are being presented on the screen. It would be a non-diegetic sound playing at the background. The music used in the movie will be parallel to the action caused on the screen. The title of the movie is "THE TEST"
