Short film 3

Alive In Joburg - Neill Blomkamp from Spy Films on Vimeo.


This film is called alive in jo burg, The feature film District 9 is based on this short film. I like this film because of the attempted cinematography and content of the story. Its a social commentary on the apartheid but using aliens instead of africanners, it manages to tell an interesting story in such a short time.

Again i have chosen a comedy film. I have chosen this one to contrast with the previous one, this one has a much larger cast than the other one and much better cameras shooting and cinematography as well as effects and diffrent settings.

Movie short 1



I like this short movie because its funny and entertaining. I will find this short film as a good example of a comedy film done in a short time with very few actors and a simple plot. One of the things i will not try to emulate with this film is the cinematography which is limited and the camera is shaky.

Kill Bill trailer



From the trailer of kill bill i can clearly see that it is an action adventure movie in which the protagonist kills certain people whom had betrayed her all in a quest to "kill Bill". Clearly an adrenaline fueled action film because of all the sword and gun fights as well as all the motor cycle chases are all iconic of the action genre.

Dusk till dawn trailer

From what the trailer of Dusk till dawn conveys i gather that the film is western on the run movie with vampires. The film is very clearly portrayed as a hybrid film consisting of sci-fi horror and western action movies. The 2 central characters are displayed as clearly evil anti heroes with innocent bystanders who they trap on their plans. The music implies a western theme to the film with the slow banjo playing in the background getting louder per word. The action iconography is signified by the use of guns and blood whilst the horror iconography is based in the vampire's and frightening music and scenery.
