 Bad Boyz: Ride or Die

Movie Release: June 7th, 2024

Produced By: Will Smith, Jerry Bruckheimer, Chad Oman, Doug Belgrad

Genre: Action/ Comedy


The story is essentially very entertaining. This movie is a part of a franchise, and it is the fourth movie of the franchise. This movie keeps the audience entertained throughout the movie as well as interested. Since the movie originally started from the 1998 it kind of created a sense of nostalgia for the people who originally watched when it first came out, they were able to see the same characters from the other movies but with a modern twist and different environment. I would give this movie 20 points when it comes to keeping the audience's attention. It was entertaining with the subtle jokes all throughout the movie and the audience was kept on their seat during the movie with the action-packed scenes almost every minute. 

For the camera work for this movie 15 points. The overall camera work for this movie was good, it allowed the action scenes to appear more intense. The movements also created sort of mystery at some points throughout the movie, there was tracking shots, over the shoulder shots, dolly shots and many more that showed conflict between two or more people. Although the camera movements and angles were good, they were also not surprising and were somewhat really repetitive of just basic. Movies like these have a certain reputation to obtain, because most people's thinking is that "the first movie was amazing, and the others should be even better" so with the newest kickoff of the movies, this one should have had more memorable camera work that enhanced the movie and scenes even more to make the movie more known for something.

The dialogue and soundtrack for this movie was well suited for it and would receive 20 points for it. There were moments in the movie that were funny and allowed the audience to feel the joy within the movie and laugh. There were also points within the movie that correlated with who was on the screen, for example, there was a famous youtuber on screen and he said his famous catchphrase "it's just a theory". This added familiarity to the new viewers such as teens and maybe even preteens who are familiar with the youtuber which would also allow the audience to feel recognized. The music that was associated with each scene was well suited, like when the main character were ready to take down the bad guys, they sung their famous song associated with the movie, the Bad Boys theme song, this allowed recognition to the older generations who know that show. Also, in the intense scene where there was a scary alligator, scary ominous music was entered into the scene.

The actors kept the movie interesting giving the movie 20 points in this criteria. There was the famous Will Smith and Marcus Burnett, they played as the main characters and they did it so well together. Throughout the movie they had so many comedic situations from the beginning. The chemistry between the actors all throughout the movies made it seem like they were all really family.
 overall score 75/80

Editing and Transitions

Image
 Titanic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtVyu-A3vkY Hey guyssss, it's me again!! Today we are going to analyze the editing work and transitions of the opening scene of "Titanic".   Fade- In Transition: (0:04-0:05) -A fade in transition is when the screen fades in from typically a black or white screen. This transition signifies the official opening of the scene, and it fades into a crowd of people waving to the ship which allows the audience to acknowledge the fact that the boat is leaving. The transition also gives the audience an idea of the size comparison between the ship and the people so in a way the ship looks intimidating to the audience.  Straight Cut: (0:11) This replaces the overall beginning scene, and it cuts to the crowd point of view. This makes it easier for the audience to see the enjoyment and feeling of excitement of the people on the boat and off the boat as well. You are able to see them waving and there is also a camera man which could also let...

Today we are discussing the challenges we have in filming, and there's A LOT.  So, the weekend of the 8th of February our group was supposed to film but 3/4 of my group members were ready to film but unfortunately the fourth member, which is the videographer. So, to deal with this inconvenience we have rescheduled our filming date to a day when we are all available, which is Valentine's Day. We are going to wolf lake park , which we have also had trouble planning exactly where we are filming which was either wolf lake park or tree tops park which is more foresty and filming the first part of our movie intro. The main obstacle we have is trying to work around the group members work schedule which from what you've heard is really challenging . Other than that, every group member has been pulling their own weight . We have all of our props and costumes which is rope, tape, and our regular high school clothes.
