All said No

And Finally When Asked: Would you go and see a sequel

2 said No

1 said Maybe

Here is my Textual Analysis and some Primary & Secondary Research

What is the product: Non Stop The Movie

Background Info: It was made in 2014 and is Starring Liam Neeson

Why have you picked it?: I saw it a few months ago, thought it was pretty good, it has a good plot and i know a lot about because i’ve seen it recently.

Textual Analysis: ¾ minutes long

I will be looking at the trailer of the film

Non-Stop Official Trailer #1 (2014) - Liam Neeson Thriller HD

After watching the trailer, I have noticed that there is no stereotypes in the film, the reason being is because they don’t want to give the villain away, the villain is only found at the end. Through out the whole film he/she is anonymous. The Demographic of the film is mainly aimed at adult and young teens. The genre of the film is Action, as you watch the trailer you understand more about the Mise-en-scene. the main story is about a person trying to kill someone every 20 minutes until 150 million dollars are sent to an bank account. The narrative of the story is good and clever. The film age rating is a 15 meaning it isn’t for young people, showing that is it aimed at Adults. It was very popular because Liam Neeson starred in it, people saw he was going to be in it so they went and watched it, there was no real promotion in the film to make it popular, It was mainly the fact that famous actors and actresses were in it. The film couldn’t be shown in some countries around the world, but only a few, it was sold worldwide apart from a few small and dangerous countries.

My overall i think this film is great, after reviewing it i think its really good if you like action films (which i do), also it keeps you wanting more, noting knowing who the villain is.

Research Plan & Methodology

I will probably make a survey which can be done online and handed out around the college and my local area. The reason i am doing this is because i think it would be easier to do.

Primary Research:

After creating a survey online https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7XM36WW i have found out that not many people have seen the film, the people who have seen it would love to see a sequel but the people who haven’t couldn’t care if there was a sequel or not. and the villain of the film was hidden well and wasn’t obvious. Amazing everyone had mixed feeling about its genre. Everyone thought it was ok, not the best but ok, i chose it because it is one of the most reason films i have seen and the only one i could think of, I thought it was ok as well.

Secondary Research:

After going online and looking at reviews of the film, i discovered that it has been mainly rated between at 6 and a 7. Imdb rated it 7 overall meaning it is a ok film, not the best but ok. After researching i found out the film is genre is Action just like i thought. its also listed up Thriller and Mystery (because of the unknown villain) The characters in the film are all anonymous, one of them is a muslim and a lot of people in the plane assume its him because of what happened with 911 but in the end it turns out to not be him.

These are a few notes I made to help me in my presentation

Audience: BBFC gave it a 12

Its a mystery because you don’t know the villain, turns out to be two people,

Survey Research: Even if they hadn’t seen it but had heard about it

Local Area: Neighbours, all ages  watched it again,

Online: I went on Wiki, Imdb

Overall: So overall lots of people had mixed feelings about it, I personally thought the film was ok, everyone else had mixed feelings.

Here are screen shots of each slide I used in my presentation

Pink Analysis

This is my work done on the Pink Music Video

4 characters:

Being president but instead failing, dancing next to 50 cent, really smartly dressed, glasses, suit next to a giant american flag and podium. Next to 50 cent, trashy clothes, failed at life.

Woman at end of vid, wasted life, things is still attractive, trying to be different, changed her body when she was young so now she looks older when shes not.

Woman in car, doesn’t care about others, buying clothes and other accessories only for her, doesn’t care even if people get hurt.

Sex tape, thinks she get popular doing it, shares it on purpose. stupid, too busy texting on phone and taking selfies, doesn’t care about what’s going on .


Costumes, editing, setting, camera shots, etc:

Very quick and snappy shots changing, a lot going on, different types of clothes, a lot of expensive, dirty clothes, inappropriate outfits, very posh areas, quick editing. takes very short, camera movement, very still, nothing really moving area much, a few slow zooms in (example: operation table looking down) but really the camera doesn't’ move much.

Why are these connotations used:

To show how some women at these days, that they act stupid to make people think they are cute just so they can get attention, they do this because they are spoilt or because of their upbringing.

Statement this video is making:

That women have to stop worrying about their appearance and that they are fine the way they are, they have to stop being a ‘Stupid Girl’ hence the title. They need to accept who they are and deal with it. they don’t need to change their body, if they do they will just end up like the old woman at the end of the vid.

180 degree rule

The 180 degree rule in media

The 180 degree rule is when you are filming with 2 people in a shot and you are cutting back and forth with out making the audience get confused, you don't want to film 2 people from an other shoulder shot then cut to the other side cause you'd see the camera, you can't film pointing towards another camera cause they would see it so you film from the sides.

Diagram shows the areas you can film,. You can't pass the red line

The Diagram shows you the directions you can film and beyond the red line is where you can't. the reason being is you can't filming point back at the other camera cause you'll see the crew and it would be a continuity error and would make the film look less real.

Over Shoulder Shot looking at Actor 1

The shot shows an actor standing looking right towards another actor to the right of the shot, the camera is looking over the shoulder of the actor on the right.

Over Shoulder Shot looking at Actor 2 

The shot cuts to the other side looking over at the actor whose shoulder we were looking over but is now looking over Actor 1's shoulder.

Another Over Shoulder Shot but now from other side

In the video the camera moved over to the other, they did this cause they wanted to show that you can break the 180 degree rule without confusing or have an continuity errors. So it is possible to film past the red line but doesn't involve the cameras moving around to the opposite side in which they where previously on.
