  • Kinotipp: „End of Watch“ – Zwei Streifen-Cops Kämpfen in L.A
    Thema: Kinotipp: „End Of Watch“ – Zwei Streifen-Cops kämpfen in L.A. gegen ein mächtiges Drogenkartell Beitrag: 1:23 Minuten Anmoderationsvorschlag: South Central Los Angeles ist das Revier der Streifen-Cops Brian Taylor und Mike Zavala: Zwei Freunde, die füreinander durchs Feuer gehen. Im Kinofilm „End of Watch“ gibt Regisseur David Ayer einen atemberaubenden Einblick in den harten Alltag amerikanischer Großstadtpolizisten zwischen häuslicher Gewalt, Bandenkrieg, Drogen und Waffenhandel. Und mit einem kleinen Trick ist der Zuschauer immer mitten drin im Geschehen: Ein Teil der Szenen wird nämlich von den Darstellern selbst gefilmt. Uwe Hohmeyer berichtet. O-Ton 1 (End Of Watch, 0:09 Min.): Atmo „Verfolgungsjagd“… „Dreizehn X-Neun verfolgt gestohlenes Fahrzeug, halten Kontakt, Richtung Westen auf der 27sten…. Ich hab ihn, ich hab ihn. Versuch‘s doch, versuch doch, abzuhauen!“ „Fahr ihm rein. Fahr ihm rein, fahr ihm rein.“ „Booom!“ Sprecher: Brian Taylor und Mike Zavala riskieren jeden Tag im Hexenkessel von South Central Los Angeles ihr Leben - und genau das macht sie zu mehr als Partnern. O-Ton 2 (End Of Watch, 0:02 Min.): „Wir sind Brüder.” „Ich würd mein Leben für dich geben.“ Sprecher: Nur mithilfe Ihrer Familien gelingt es ihnen, den stressigen Job zu vergessen - und weil sie Freunde sind, besprechen sie während der nächtlichen Streifenfahrten ab und zu sogar private Dinge. O-Ton 3 (End Of Watch, 0:14 Min.): „Also, es wird superernst zwischen Janet und mir. Sie will bei mir einziehen. Aber ihre Eltern wollen...die sind sowas von altmodisch.“ „Ach ja?" „Aber wir könnten ja sagen, wir sind verlobt.“ „Oh wow, Sekunde mal.

  • Steven Price
    STEVEN PRICE COMPOSER Steven Price is an Academy Award winning film composer. His unique, story-driven approach to the craft of film scoring has seen him work on some of the most innovative productions of recent years. From Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity to Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver, Steven’s individualistic scores seek to enhance the ideas and images of great filmmakers in truly bespoke ways. Steven’s diverse music reflects the wide range of movie and television projects he has been involved with. Beginning his career in the late 1990s, he contributed to productions such as The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Batman Begins, before making his scoring debut in 2011 with Joe Cornish’s inner-city horror comedy, Attack the Block. Recent years have seen him compose distinctive scores for Claire McCarthy’s reimagining of Hamlet, Ophelia, David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, and the Paramount Animation Wonder Park. From his incorporation of original WW2 tanks in the percussion of the Brad Pitt starring Fury to the wind instrument driven score created for Tom Harper’s The Aeronauts, the music created for each production seeks to give each story its unique voice, the result of an experimental and collaborative process. His work in the Natural History realm, working alongside Sir David Attenborough on The Hunt, (for which Steven won a Bafta), and the Netflix Original Our Planet, (nominated for two score Emmys), will continue in 2020 with a new live arena spectacular, Our Planet Live in Concert, the premiere for which will be held at London’s O2 Arena in October 2020.

  • Why Found Footage Horror Films Matter : Introduction
    Why Found Footage Horror Films Matter : Introduction Peter Turner, Oxford Brookes University The cinematic image of a young woman staring into the camera – crying, hyperventilating, and talking directly to her audience – has become the definitive image of The Blair Witch Project (Myrick and Sanchez, 1999). It is arguably the most famous scene, and certainly the most parodied image of found footage horror cinema in general, perhaps even one of the defining images of cinema in the 1990s. This character, Heather Donahue, is played by a hitherto unknown actress called Heather Donahue, in her feature debut. From what we see on screen, and the manner in which her monologue is delivered, it can be inferred that she is not reciting scripted lines. She does not seem to be acting; her fear appears genuine. Heather is alone in a dark tent, shooting this footage herself with a handheld camera. The shot did not look like most other horror films that had been previously shown in cinemas; it is poorly framed, poorly lit, and the character knows and acknowledges that she is on camera. There had been previous films in this style: Cannibal Holocaust (Deodato, 1980) contains the use of ‘found footage’ within its narrative structure, and Man Bites Dog (Belvaux, Bonzel and Poelvoorde, 1992) is a mock-documentary that purports to be completely filmed by a diegetic film crew. However, neither of these films had the cultural impact or box office success of The Blair Witch Project, a film that eventually spawned numerous imitators, and arguably the entire found footage horror sub- genre that now consists of hundreds of films.1 There is a straightforward economic reason why filmmakers continue to produce found footage horror films.

  • An Investigation of Priming, Self-Consciousness, and Allegiance in the Diegetic Camera Horror Film
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Oxford Brookes University: RADAR An investigation of priming, self-consciousness, and allegiance in the diegetic camera horror film by Peter Turner A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the award of Doctor of Philosophy by Oxford Brookes University Submitted June 2017 Statement of originality Some of the discussion of The Blair Witch Project throughout this thesis has formed the basis for a book, Devil’s Advocates: The Blair Witch Project (Auteur, 2014). Some of the discussion of priming in chapter four was also used in a conference paper, Behind the Camera: Priming the Spectator of Found Footage Horror, delivered at The Society for Cognitive Studies of the Moving Image in 2015. Sections on personal imagining also formed the basis of a conference paper, Personal Imagining and the Point-of-View Shot in Diegetic Camera Horror Films, delivered at The Society for Cognitive Studies of the Moving Image in 2017. Finally, significant amounts of Chapter 3 and Chapter 5 will be featured in two chapters of an upcoming edited collection on found footage horror films with the working title [Rec] Terror: Essays on Found Footage Horror Films. i Abstract The main research question underpinning this study asks why and how the diegetic camera technique has become so popular to both contemporary horror filmmakers and audiences. In order to answer this question, this thesis adopts a mainly cognitive theoretical framework in order to address the mental schemata and processes that are elicited and triggered by these films.

  • Movie Review: ‘Suicide Squad”
    Movie Review: ‘Suicide Squad” By John Mulderig Catholic News Service NEW YORK — Initially stylish but ultimately ridiculous and chaotic, the DC comics- based adventure “Suicide Squad” (Warner Bros.) also features some dubious moral values. Add to that the film’s lurid atmosphere overall and its appeal, along with its appropriate audience, dwindles still further. If there’s any good news to be salvaged from this mess, it’s that casting Viola Davis as a tough-as-nails government bureaucrat works quite well. Davis plays hard-bitten intelligence agent Amanda Waller. Waller’s pet project is the creation of the combat team of the title, an ensemble of violent villains she’s determined to spring from prison and put at the service of the government. The leading figures in this dirty half-dozen are skilled assassin Floyd Lawton (Will Smith), aka Deadshot, and psychiatrist-turned-psychopath Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), or Dr. Harleen Quinzel in her old job. Together with Australian killer Boomerang (Jai Courtney), arsonist Diablo (Jay Hernandez), skin disease-afflicted brute Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) and escape artist Slipknot (Adam Beach), Deadshot and Quinn find themselves placed under the command of the military’s leading special ops warrior, Col. Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), and compelled to do Waller’s bidding. Their first mission is to take on an evil specter whose campaign of destruction has forced the evacuation of an entire city. Whence this malignant spirit? Well, it seems that archaeologist June Moone (Cara Delevingne), Flag’s true love, got more than she bargained for when she went barging into an Aztec temple one day.

Before the emergence of online streaming platforms such as Amazon Prime, Hulu, YouTube, and Netflix, audiences were not able to play, pause, and change contents as they wished. Although this is not to say that the programming choices for television and theaters were not reflective of audiences’ demands back then, it’s true that online steaming platforms have put the power back in the hands of the viewer by giving them the ability to watch what they want, when they want to watch it. According to online community platform for media, entertainment, and technology IBC365, “Netflix rarely releases data about its content but recently broke cover to claim that 45 million accounts, nearly a third of its total, had streamed the Sandra Bullock thriller (and Netflix original) Bird Box (2018) in its first week on the platform (Pennington, 2019)”. The film and television industries all over the world, most of all Hollywood, are being forced to change their business models to compete. After all, this is the year when box office revenues for movies are predicted to be overtaken by over-the-top (OTT) revenues for the first time according to analyst firm Ampere Analysis (Pennington, 2019). Steven Spielberg has recently made a controversial comment on how online streaming platform-produced films that do not screen in theaters for ninety days should have no place at the Oscars.
