Halo 3 Tricks The Movie 4 Movie Reviews

Halo 3 Tricks The Movie 4 Created by CMNeir


Halo 3 Tricks The Movie 4 Part 1


Halo 3 Tricks The Movie 4 Part 2

This is the final movie of four movies from CMNeir's Halo 3 Tricks series. The movie is about rescuing Dippy in order to stop Ratri (the main villain of the Halo 3 Tricks movies who is a robot programmed to do evil). Rednecksniper and Stonedemokid go back to Halo 2 to get dippy and they run into Gaeuvyen who was sent back to Halo after going through the teleporter and was able to come back to halo 2. After meeting up they go to Halo 2 Tricks Haven were the run into the Halo 2 Tricks Haven Guards who tell Redneck and the others that security has been stepped since lots of people have left Halo 2 to Halo 3 and since lots more people are modding, some one opened the gates to Halo 2 Tricks Hell. As Stonedemokid and Gaeuvyen go to get dippy, Redneck fights the guards and then runs into DippyDoDa who has returned for Halo 2 Tricks Hell. After Dippy is rescued they fight DippyDoDa and after defeating him they head back to the teleporter and Stonedemokid gets Gaeuvyen to go through the teleporter and what happens to him is unknown but what is most likely expected is that he ended up in halo 1 again. There they run into DippyDoDa who has followed them and then joins them after being convinced by Dippy to join their side. Mean while in Halo 3 the cast has disappeared and CMNeir ask for Srgnt Sprinkles to go make a teleporter to find the cast when suddenly Ratri attacks and defeats CMNeir, Midgetdance comes in for the first time in the Halo 3 Tricks movie and takes on Ratri who defeats him and then takes CMNeir with him to his hide out on Standoff. After arriving back in Halo 3 the find Ratri who then teleport's them to standoff.

When they arrive Ratri tells them that CMNeir will have the pleasure of watching them die and a fight breaks out with the elites attack DippyDoDa and Stonedemokid while Ratri, Dippy and Redneck separate when Redneck goes to get something and dippy is left to fight Ratri, Stonedemokid is captured by the elite and after DippyDoDa defeated the regular elites, he is left to face a commander elite. After DippyDoDa's Wrath is destroyed, Dippy is able to come out and help his brother fight the elite but then goes back to fight Ratri while DippyDoDa fights and defeats the commando elite. After Redneck gets the Spartan Lazar Cannon DippyDoDa tell Redneck to keep it on him so that he can take out Ratri. At the same time the rest of the cast come and save Stonedemokid and then go to save CMNeir. While that is happening, dippy is fighting Ratri and then DippyDoDa comes in and fight Ratri and both are hit by the Lazar, DippyDoDa taking most of the damage dies while Ratri is just badly damaged, Dippy kills Ratri and Ratri says some things quick as he falls down the cliff. At the end CMNeir and the rest of the group come and they talk about what happened and what is going to happen, as every one except for Redneck and dippy who stay behind for a bit, as they head back Delta calls CMNeir to tell him that he has found a new glitch to tell him about. Dippy ask Redneck if they can forget about the past and be friends again and Redneck replies with "I will think about it." After they finish talking they laugh and walk off towards the sun and the Movie ends.

In the film there are many things such as camera angles, and other things like acting that made the film great. For camera angles such as close ups, Long shots, pans, over the shoulder, and Crane shots create emotion and intensiveness. As well it informs people what is going on. Some of the great shots in the movie were the pan shot when Rednecksniper and Dippy were attacking the elites. Other interesting shots are the close-ups on characters such as close ups on CMNeir, Midget, and Dippy. As well Mis en scene is important here to, for example, in the final fight scene between Dippy and Ratri, the use of putting the grass in front of the action and then going through the grass to the action gives the film a more cinematic look. Another thing that is important is the story line of the 4th movie, which is about getting dippy and then having to destroy Ratri in the end. As well the story is given some very emotional parts with DippyDoDa deciding to help the Halo 3 Trick people out and eventually getting killed by redneck in order for him to badly injure Ratri so that Dippy could kill him. As this movie aloud for people in the Halo 3 Tricks group such as midgetdance to get a bigger role in the movie part of Halo 3 Tricks. As well, since being the final movie, it aloud for bringing the cast back together to help in the creation of the film and as well bring back Gaeuvyen into this movie. As well with the needing of lots of help for extras, people that were not in the movie were pulled in to play the extras in the film, which are found in the credits of the movie. This film also aloud for the bringing back of halo 2 and halo 2 tricks heaven since these would play a big role in the making of the film. To conclude this review, Halo 3 Tricks the Movie 4 is a great ending to a sage of Halo 3 Trick movies that have come out and finally ends a very exciting movie series.

Research Script Foregrounding

Movie's: Star Wars Episode 5 The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars Episode 2 Attack of the Clones
Research Topic: The Hero's Journey; Journey to the under world

Star Wars Episode 5 The Empire Strikes Back
Scene 1: Location in film: Planet Dagobah: Luke Goes into the a cave shrouded by the Dark side and as Luke entered the cave which went below ground and makes it look like the underworld, Luke goes through the cave and is stopped by what looks like Darth Vader and Luke fights him and cuts of the head of Vader and when the front part of the mask explodes off Luke sees his own face which shows what he may become in the future, What he fought was a Shadow of him self. This is one example of the journey to the underworld.


Scene 2: Location in film: Planet Bespin; Carbon Freezing Camber: Luke enters the chamber and is attacked by Vader. the Carbon Freezing camber also looks like hell because of the low lighting and how there is steam coming from the ground and how Vader is trying to capture him. This scene in the film is also like a journey to the underworld.

Scene 3: Location in film: Bespin; Tower bridge: Vader Fight Luck an at the end of the Bridge extension Vader cuts of Luke's Right hand and tries to get Luke to come with him and tells Luke that he is his father and Luke jumps off; when Luke's hand is cut off and this is also a journey to the underworld because of how Luke is lots of pain after getting his hand cut off and then finding out that his father is Vader.


Star Wars Episode 2 Attack of the Clones
Scene 1: Location: Tatooine; tusken raider camp night: Anakin Skywalker is looking for his mother and finds out that she may be at this one Tusken raider camps and arrives the camp at night. he finds his mother who is very proud of him and she dies, then his emotions go out of control and he gets very upset and angry because he could not save his mom so he takes his anger out on all of the Tusken raiders by killing them. This scene is like a journey to the underworld because in the scene the tusken raiders look like creatures from the under world and Anakin killed out of anger which he shouldn't of done.


Scene 2: Location: Geonosis; Droid Factory: Anakin and Padmé Amidala enter a factory of machines making machines and the factory looks like the underworld because of all the steam and molten hot metal, as well as the Geonosians trying to kill them. As they try to rescue Obi wan the are captured by Jango Fett and some droids.

This is an example of a journey to the under world because the in the light sabra duel Anakin losses his arm and the room they are in becomes dark as well for a short time.

Responce to Get a Date

The film get a date has some visual concept in it with what is happening when the woman is knocking on the door and each time there is something that makes the sound of the knocking not there like the shower running and the cutting of the food. Other thinks that made the film really good was the reuse of previous shot were they shot it once and then used it over and over again but with different voice overs. Some of the scenes like this were the scene of the lady walking up the stairs and down and the one were she was adding the makeup. The split screen with the two doing the same action at the same time with the scene of the them flipping through the news paper. Also the film used ideas from other films like Amelie with the profile shots of the person and the narrator describing what they did for a living and what there interest were. The last thing about the film is how well they people were able to get rid of things that were in the shot so to make the two characters feel alone and to make the audience fell that the characters fell lonely.

Visual Concept Project

I. What is a Visual concept, well it is film that uses visuals like images with out dialogue to show the audience the point. The work by getting the point of the part of the film across without any dialogue with camera motion, blocking, color, lighting, and other things.

II. Points to consider
1. I can show the passage of time by creating scenes with the different seasons, or I could show one person changing over the years, or by having the sun set and then the sun rise.
2. The emotional act that I will examining is not caring which i forgot what term is for it..
3. Certain objects that could trigger memories of not caring could be a broken picture the person didn't care about or a damaged item that they never cared about.
4. The emotion is active at certain times but only when a person doesn't care for something.
5. My visual concept would be abstract.
6. At the closure of the memory it could end with the person caring for what he/she once didn't care for.

III. The emotional moment i would like to explore cinematically would be about a people that didn't care for something and over time began to care for it and eventually cared for it fully.

Response to Independent Script Sample A

1. The writer structures his/her script by first with news footages of Tony Blair and then Jaques Chairac. Then the two narrators are introducing and they talk about the social ties in Britain and France. Then they go into talking about social realism, then goes into talking about it in terms of film history, culture and narrative focus from the French. Then the writer talks about the film history, culture and narrative focus in British films on British social Realism. The ending is on the two narrators telling the viewer what they should do.
2. Most of the visuals the writer used to enhance the is like footage that the writer decriped that were not from the films researched that related to what they were talking about like in the first couple pages like the shots with the people going by and not noticing the narrators and the shot of the Eiffel tower. Other visuals used were clips from the films the writer is using for his/her research like La Haine.
3. The topic the writer researched was how representations of social realism differed in French and British film cultures. What the writer used to research his/her topic were the films the writer research, websites' like Guardian, and SEX, CLASS, AND REALISM, and books kuje Film As Social Practise and Introduction To Communiction Studies.
4. I would give would give it a score of 25 because the script has an excellent understanding of the topic of how representations of social realism differed in French and British film cultures. Also the visual and audio elements are really well detailed in what they will look like and people can image what the scene will look like. Lastly that all the films covered in the scripted are related to the topic because the films have the social realism of the counties they are made based on.
