Straight Outta Compton




This is a film that is called Straight Outta Compton. This film is based on a group of Black people that want to introduce rap to the work however the authorities do not want this and try to arrest them and find any dirt they have on them so they cannot do Rap.The Age it is aimed at would be teens or young Black Adults as that is what the film is based on and the kind of people it is based on as well. The gender it is aimed is primarily Male but can see as women as well as the police just arrest black people because they think they are in a Gang because of the way they look. So women can also be aimed at because of the way that they dress however most of the filmed is at black male.  Straight Outta Compton is a Mainstream film. It is produced by universal and the filmed is made by Felix Gary Grey. The film is based in L.A which is a stereotypical location for Black people as there is a lot of poor areas in LA and people who live in poor conditions. This is stereotypical as you wouldn't think about a black person being in a fancy house because we think of black people always doing drugs and smoking and not being wealthy. It also gives black people a good amount of hope as in the film these were the conditions they were living in and they were at the bottom of ladder but the film shows that they can move to the top of the ladder. The role of these stars are to give black people hope in the world and that we can all overcome anything and anyone if we put our mind to it and that we are dedicated to that goal or mission that we have set for ourselves.  The clothing that is used is stereotypically for black people. They wear black puffer jackets with gold chains and just general bling.  You do not see this type of figure on a white person for example or a Asian person.

The Camera angles that are used in this film are mostly mid shots and close ups. This is a good selection of camera angles for this film as it shows the facial expressions of the actors and it shows that they are going through such a hard time which then grips the audience that are watching the trailer. There is also dramatic music that gets played when the trailer is nearly at the end which builds up tension and gives us the idea that there might be some sort of action in this film, it is also teased when one of the stars pulls out a machine gun out of a bag and when the actor cocks the pistol back to get it ready to use. The Lighting of the trailer is either Black or grey which shows that the starts are in a dark time and gives the viewers of a dark atmosphere which builds up tension for the viewers.


Set Forms: Film Industry

This film is called Black Panther, it is a action film and most action films are mainstream films. The audience for this film are all the Marvel fans.

Text
Assassin Creed 3 Liberation is based on a young black girl that has to face the Spanish army in the 1700s to free her friends and slaves of the Spanish army. The genre of the game is a RPG which stands for Role Playing Game. Your avatar in the game is a black female that is originally a slave then later in the game gets turned into a slave. Within the game your avatar has three personas which are: Assassin, slave and a lady. The Lady flirts with men and you are able to seduce them into a state that when you walk off they will follow you. The Slave is used to blend in with other slaves, so it can be used as a stealth option. Assassin is used just for attack as more of your attack options are limited in the other two persona's. Within in the game there is the main campaign and there is side missions as well. This is a good thing as when you complete the campaign there is still some things to do in the game which does not make it boring. The game has
Industry
The Assassin Creed games are owned by a company called Ubisoft. This company creates many games from Assassin Creed  to Ghost Recon Wild Lands. Assassin Creed is is a well known franchise that is about two types of people that are at war. The Templar's and the Assassins. The Context of the game is to protect these secrete artefact's that have the power of world Domination.  The Templar's want to use it for there own will and take over the world and kill all Assassins. However The Assassins want to keep these artefact's safe and keep them hidden away from the Templar's and to protect the world. Assassin Creed Liberation is based in 1765 to 1777. This is near then end of the French and Indian war. Assassin Creed franchise is one of the most popular franchise in the world and when there is new releases it is always at the top of the market chain as it is so popular. The game is aimed at 18 year old as that is what it says on the case of the game.  The reviews of the game were good however was not the best out of the Assassin Creed Franchise. The reason for this is the fact it was released at first on the PS Vita. the memory within the Vita was not enough as some people could not explore the full potential of the game. Later on the game had finally been released on the PS3 and X BOX 360. This was a major hit and fans of the Sony products were uninterested in the Vita.
Social and Cultural Context
Within the Assassin Creed Game pleased the fans as in the game you meet another famous Assassin  in the Assassin Creed Franchise. This made the fans happy and pleased with the game. However one thing they did not like was the Multiplayer function in the game as it was like playing a game on a phone. it wasn't really interactive as people thought it would have been. This was disappointing function in the game as they wanted more from it. For example fans wanted to still explore the world in the multiplayer function but however the only difference would have been with different players and to be able to interact with them.
