Mad Max Fury Road: Exploitation Cinima

 

Film Review: Mad Max Fury Road

Mad Max Fury Road follows quit a few of the exploitation genres that are popular in exploitation cinema, I will hopefully go through them all and explain how they are shown in the movie.

Carsploitation

The movie has lots of scene with car chases and weirdly modded vehicles traveling in a convoy. This is a popular type of exploitation cinema appealing to people who are big fans of car and bike culture.

Sexploitation

The movie focuses around a group of women who are lightly dressed at the start of the movie, who are the wives of one of the rulers in the dystopian society. They are shown as a representation of ethereal beauty dressed in white, however in the narrative they are shown as child-birthing slave. In the majority of Pulp sexploitation movies the female storylines and  motivations are often questionable however in mad max fury road they are seeking freedom from there husband, and not following his orders like in other Sexploitation cinema.

Violence

There is a huge amount of violence in the movie as it follows the ideas of exploitation cinema, where violent movies are enjoyed by teenagers representing the Teenage Rebel category of  exploitation cinema. The Rebellious nature of the violence within the movie could be seen as the exploitation of the teenage ideas of rebellion.

Reflective statement 'What if Metropolis'

Reflective statement 'What if Metropolis' I found this project enjoyable however i feel that the changes to the start of this project, and the lack of artist research and visual development, made the start of the project slow and less enjoyable. I do like having choice of our concept art, because of this we have choices on if we wanted to make things easier or harder for ourselves depending on if we wanted to challenge ourselves. I felt the start of this project was slow however that may have been due to me having a clear image of the scene in my head and not needing to plan and figure out the scene i=on paper. To make my render better i would like to have used better materials in Maya,maybe using substance painter to create photo-realistic textures. In any case creating a better consistency between materials would be better, especially considering that the stage on my scene appears to be in a different style to the other materials in the scene. In the future i will need to...

Script V1

Big Game Hunter, Wharf, Handcuffs by Torran Rodgers Version 1 EXT. Dock -Day Fast shots create a rushed sense as a ape is sedated,  handcuffed and loaded onto a boat before a cut to black and a fade in. Ext. Boat Ocean -Day The Hunter and the Ape are face to face in a tiny boat. the Ape is much larger then the hunter creating a comedic image as the hunter rows the small boat through the ocean . There aren’t any supplies on the ship the boxes are empty and there isn’t a lot of room on the boat to begin with. The hunter tries to fish for some food however is unable to catch anything, the ape sees this and reaches into the ocean and pulls out a large fish. The hunter is surprised by this and frustratedly goes back to fishing, the monkey offers some to the hunter who turns away from the ape. The ape leaves the food next to the hunter and turns around himself. Fade to the next day  - the hunters clothes are more dishevelled. The monkey is looking longingly out ove...

Lion King : Archetypes

  Film Review: Lion King Hero: Simba is the hero of our story and fits the archetype of a hero so well when thinking about the hero's journey. Shadow: Scar is the shadow in the lion king sowing ill will and deception in the start of the movie to set up the events of the film. Herald:  Rafiki calls Simba to action and shows him a way to get in contact with his father. He helps the hero find there way and shows Simba the path when he's lost. The Threshold Guardian: I think the threshold guardians are the hyenas in the lion king. i think this is because they are present and the threat when Simba and Nala go into the darklands, crossing the threshold into defiance against Mufasa. Trickster: Timon as he plan's to use Simba for safety as he is a lion and can scare off other predators.  Mentor/father: Mufasa if Simba's father and mentor, a father figure who is teaching him to be king even after his death at the start of the movie. Allies: Timon, Pumba and Nala are the main all...
