I did this to keep track of the old school stereotypes that were used and see if, maybe, there was some new edge techniques used. I kept a nice little note list while watching the film and had the best time marking off characters as they bit the dust. Can the human characters outlast him? Can he be slain? But remember, on the 23rd spring for 23 days. The Creeper is back for some more action, and this time it involves a school bus load of cheerleaders, basketball players, and the random motorist.
Jeepers Creepers 2 has a little new age spice, but a lot of old horror formula dripping from its fangs. I watched to find out if the more recent horror movies revamped the old-grain-horror formula (racism/stereotypes).
I just want more creative advertising in the motor-vehicle world - is it too much to ask?įor a holiday project (sounds like an oxymoron), I decided to watch Jeepers Creepers 2, a monster-horror movie. Why is that? Do these companies refuse to challenge the grain like Mini, or is it they have no talent on the advertising side (I find this hard to believe). Interesting, I don't have any American made vehicles in my commercial list. So I went out to find some good ones that break the mold of your typical motor-vehicle commercial. How many times a day do you see a commercial for a motor-vehicle? How many times do those commercials seem to be of the same cookie-cutter style? Now wouldn't it be fun to slap the person/people responsible for creating it across the face? I guess that is a little extreme.or is it? Where are the creative motor-vehicle commercials you scream at your television set after watching for the million-plus-one time a standard black SUV pile kids into it, and then swerve about on the most uninteresting roads? I concur with the people out there that actually do yell at the television set (have to exercise some how). “The Codes of Television,” John Fiske, Media studies: A reader,Įdited by Paul Marris and Sue Thornham (1996), Edinburgh UP. Studio City: Michael Wiese Productions, 2001. Digital Filmmaking 101: An Essential Guide to Bad guys were sunglasses." She got the question right, so I guess my niece reads pretty deep on accessories, and didn't notice the metal arm holding a chicken. So this research proves one thing - James Bond films do a very nice job of separating their villains from heroes by using their defects or differences against them. These young kids that have no previous experience with James Bond films were able to pick out the villain in 3 rounds of the 4. The 7yr and 5yr both missed the hardest question. Can a 5yr old and a 7yr old spot the differences and if so, what gave them the idea that they were the villain or hero. I made the last question hard, to see what the responses would be.Īs you can see, each character has one frame to make their impression. I had four rounds of villain versus hero faces against each other.
I took the bond villains and heroes pictures and randomly picked a few to test against each other. I asked myself one question: Can villains in James Bond movies be easily spotted, and what makes them a villain to the audience? So, I decided to play a little game with my niece (5yrs old) and nephew (7yrs old) that would test my theory of stereotyping villains. The James Bond Project: Villain Files (Quicktime 7 Required) The data is interesting and the conclusion shocking. Armed with a few scholarly works, a film book, and other articles, I dove into the world of Bond and shifted through the secret agent’s style, voice, and women to find what was really under the surface. By randomly selecting three James Bond films and then putting them through the blender I set out to find a common trend in James Bond – good or bad. Can it be true that James Bond films have racist and other negative stereotypes in them? Well that’s what The James Bond Project: Villain Files is all about, trying to find the meaning of James Bond villains by searching what's under the surface.
