Realism in film is neither a rigid genre nor is it an isolated structure in filmmaking and reflects our daily lives projected onto a screen, with a plausible narrative in place and characters we can relate to. Realism films are often devoid of style, or lack an aesthetic and instead focus on the content within the story, which tends to fall towards subject matter surrounding everyday life situations and sometimes addresses societal issues. Realism can combine with a variety of genres such as…

not consider genre theory in her analysis. Romantic comedy is the genre of choice for Mindy Kaling and other people looking for cheesy humor and a “meet cute” scenario, leading to an idealistic love connection capable of withstanding any obstacle the film present. Its myths about couples and their “meet cute” love story, conventional relationship conflict, and iconic images of sappy kisses garner rolled eyes. However, the romantic comedy genre necessarily transforms over time…

at Youtube videos, I was so interested in how the edits really made a difference. I would look at videos that the quality wasn’t good or the edits were done poorly. I would find myself making suggestions on how to make the edits better, or how the film process could have been…

"Don’t even mention them to me.” this turned out to be very true because films are far from the truth and cliche. Scott Imad and Chris disobeyed Salingers request by creating a spectacular film that accurately depicts the book. The scenes we chose stood out the most in the book and were the critical scenes that really made the book impact the lives of young readers and…

In the movie Warm Bodies (Levine & Lieberman, Hoberman, Papandrea, 2013), there seem to be many connections to the Christian faith. The imagery of zombies and humans is always a powerful one that can evoke fear and excitement in the crowd who watches. Warm Bodies specifically interacts with the emotions of its consumers. For those whom have not seen this masterful work of art, the plot goes something like this: a zombie named “R” meets a human girl named Julie and instantly falls in love, but…

allegations made against the president, it mirrors the women that have accused President Trump of sexual harassment and assault. As the allegations are now garnering the attention of public media, I am curious to see if it will be handled similarly to the film; will tensions with foreign policy be escalated with events like the North Korea nuclear scare or the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital?
