Beginning Middle End

One of my favorite films can be an example of the use of beginning middle end. Guardians of the Galaxy begins with introducing he main character which is Starlord. The movie begins with the character at a early age in order to create a undeserved misfortune event towards Starlord. Afterwards the beginning of the story continues with Starlord 26 years later where they show how his life had turned out. The middle of the story line would be when the Guardians of the Galaxy assemble and work together as a unit. Of course there is conflict within the group but in the end they resolve everything. The end of the movie circles around the idea to save the Galaxy from Ronan. As usual there a a major battle scene where the bad guys fight the good guys and of course the good guys win. This film make a great job creating a beginning middle end and filled it will so many creative aspects.

Superior Position

In every great film there is anticipation and with that everything seems incredible. The type anticipation I am talking about would be superior position where the audience is aware of some doing where the characters in the movie have no idea to what is happening. The most typical example to this technique in film making would be where the audience knows that the boy or girl is cheating on their partner but the actual person being cheated on has no idea. Superior position is shown is tons of movies but the one that stands out the most is White Chicks. All the characters in the movie are unaware that Britney and Tiffany are being played by two men Marcus and Kevin. For almost the entire movie the two men play the spoiled rich girls without blowing their cover as FBI but the audience is more than aware of what is happening and why it is happening. This type of superior position gives of a comedic tone to the movie which I feel is an impressive way to showcase such movie.

Undeserved Misfortune

Undeserved misfortune can do so much to an audience when watching a film because you grow attached to a character and tend to care for then in the film. A film with just that would be the movie Flipped. One of the main characters Julie is the innocent and the sweet girl crushing on Bryce a boy who in the end falls in love with Julie. As an audience you end up loving Julie and not so much liking Bryce. When Bryce hurts Julie's feelings even when she didn't deserve it makes you feel sorry for her. All Julie did was fall in love with Bryce only to be hurt by him. This can also be featured in real life where you have someone going about their normal day when they are hit by a car by a drunk driver. The person in the car dies and the person that was drunk lived. That itself is undeserved misfortune because the person that was simply driving didn't deserve to die for what the drunk driver had decided. This is definitely something I would enjoy to incorporate in my film. This would create a dramatic tone to the movie and would draw the audience to liking the film very much especially the idea of love and the drunk driver.

Conflict

The movie that I think has a mass amount of conflict is Moulin Rouge. One conflict is Satine and her illness. Her struggle to over come the sickness within her body and her fighting that to perform as she has always wanted. Another example of conflict in the movie Moulin Rouge is the Christian's forbidden love for satine which he fights with the Duke. Christian and the Duke both fight for the same woman but Satine settles the fighting with choosing Christian. Conflict in real life can be like a mother struggling to feed her family because she has no job and little money. The struggles in typical life are examples of conflict from having your tire pop while on the way to visit your mother or by having a midterm the next day and not understanding any part of the lessons from the past. The idea of having a sorrow tone into a film to me is a good idea. Such as having a mother struggle to support the family and having one day that everyone feels happy. Appealing to emotions can be a powerful thing. An emotional struggle can be a moving idea for a film.

My Film Job

The one job that I'm most interested in would be directing. I feel that I have an optimistic view towards certain potential scenes. Directing can seem to be challenging and quite stressful but that I think is the beauty of it. You put in so much work into a film and in the end you see the final product and that can be so rewarding. I have creative things which can be applied heavily onto directing and allow amazing ideas into spark. I like being in the main control of a film and how the final product comes out which I simply just love. I love watching movies and I can really see each director's unique style portrayed through the movie. It is an amazing perspective t o be behind the camera and make the movie the way you want it to come out. That power is what I love having and yes its a big responsibility but I feel that in the end it will result with wonders.
