Film Analysis

The film I am analyzing is a a three part movie on youtube called "Halo 3 Tricks: The Movie" by CMNeir.
Halo 3 Tricks: The Movie *Part 1*
Halo 3 Tricks: The Movie *Part 2*
Halo 3 Tricks: The Movie *Part 3*
The three part film is based on a event that had happened to the two major characters RednecSniper and TaurineDippy which was that Dippy tried to get RednecSniper to help him get Microsoft points in a game against someone and RednecSniper got fed up with dippy was really mad a Dippy which led to the creation of the First Halo 3 Tricks Movie which is based of of this event. The most of the films effects were already part of the Video game halo 3 with all of the lighting and the explosions and all the sounds besides the music. The Camera work has crane shots, ECU, ESL, Panning, Birds eye views, trunking shots, WS, MCU, and Zooming out shots. Eventhought the films does have a few cuss words in it the first part of the film introduces antagonist, RednecSniper and what he is going to try to do to the Protagonist, Dippy. The first part of the film shows the exposition which gave the background info what the conflict is who the protagonist and antagonist are, and the setting which is in the Halo 3 video game. Then in the second half of part one it leads into the Rising action when RednecSniper is sent to kill all of the the people in Halo 3 tricks. After failing to kill them this leads to the climax which is when a battle between Halo 3 tricks and the main villain and his army in which the Halo 3 tricks wins the battle against the army and leads into the falling action in part 3 of the film where Dippy fights RednecSniper and is hurt after Rednec shots him in the leg, and as the main villain is going to kill Dippy it leads into the conclusion of the film were Rednec saves Dippy and they go back to the base were everyone is heading to and that were the film ends. The film does follow the Dramatic structure or the Freytag's pyramid. The film itself is could be put a Drama film, but there is a little comedy in it in the end part of the 2nd part of the film and after the credits as well. This movie is based around what happened a few months back, but the film would be a formalistic film because it is not a real story and it is not in real life. The acting of the film could be considered good because in most of the lines by the cast members were really good, for example when the villain read his lines he really sounded like he was an evil person. Some other things about the acting was sometimes the actors laughed so in which made the movie seem a little less serious but for the most part the films action was good. Also one other part of the editing that was good was when Rednec is hearing voices in his mind and the sides of the screen are kind of blur which was very good. Thats real all i have to say for the analysis of this film and it is a very good film.

Areas of Research

One potential topic that i would look at in film would be film mythology. It is because many movies have in some way some mythology in them such as the Star Wars which has many examples of mythology in all 6 movies of the two star wars Trilogy. One of the mythologies of the Star Wars films is the Hero's Journy where the main Character in episodes 4-6 Luke Skywalker goes from a farm boy on Tatooine to a jedi knight.
Films that i could research is Scifi films like the Star Wars, Star Trek, transformers, and other scifi films. Scifi movies have some mythology and i would be intrested in Reseaching these movies to see what mythologies are in them.

What themes are I'm interested in exploring as a film maker?

There are many themes out there in movies such as friendship, slavery, greed, and love are some of the many themes of films. The one theme of films I'm interested in is the Hero's Journey. It's because the journey of the hero of the film can end with tragedy or it could end with the Hero saving the day and the ending is a happy one.

Personal Story

One personal Story that i had that could be intresting for a film could be when my sister had fractured her leg. It was about 8 weeks ago back in August she fractured her tibia playing soccer and went to Peninsula Hospital to after she hurt her leg. 5 days after going to Peninsula Hospital she went to UCSF were she got the surgery. At UCSF the doctors were very kind and compassionate and did a very well job. This would be a good story for a film because of the great service my sister got at UCSF.
