The criteria for this video is any halloween costume, as the video ranks the top 10 “traditional” costumes. Overall, I think most of the costumes belong on this list, except for the clown. I have literally never seen anyone in my life dress up as a clown on halloween, so maybe my experience is different than the majority. I agree with the number one spot because just as the video stated, the witch solidified it’s top spot with the movie The Wizard of Oz. Although I agree with the number 1 spot, some may feel differently because others childhood experiences may be different and so what they recognize as the most prominent costume
Visual Analysis Pre-Reflection
Although I have done a video in a high-school class before, I have never had to create an analysis through the video, so the minuscule experience that I have with video making will not have a huge role in this project. My fear is that my inexperience will hinder how well I will do on this assignment. I am most comfortable with PowerPoint and iMovie. I like my analysis to be more of a visual presentation rather than a video. Work might affect how much time I have to work on this project, but with class time I think it should be fine. My objective is to make the most of this project by utilizing class time to the best of my ability and getting a good job on this project.
How It Should Have Ended: Video Analysis
HISHE: Finding Nemo
The purpose with the video, as with all the videos on this YouTube, is to create a foolish, yet rational ending to a popular movie. The type of response that the video receives could go one of two ways, either causing confusion within the mind of the audience or drawing massive approval because sometimes the actual movie endings are just that bad. This particular video jokes at the realism of cartoon movies and how the plot most times defies all logic. The audience draws the young adult audience who watched this movie as a kid and can relate to the movie. My favorite part of the video was the ending with the fish tank fish in the bag because even as a young kid, I had always questioned how they were supposed to get out of their bags. The video as a whole carried a lighthearted and comical tone to emphasize that it wasn’t a critique of the actual movie, but rather a spoof video who tries to portray the same thoughts that the viewers share about the movie.
HISHE: Deadpool
The main point about this video is to joke about how this movie is much more different than the average Marvel movie. Most superheroes are those that people look up to, while Deadpool is the inappropriate one that hovers over the line of good and evil. What I thought was funny is how the tone of this video matched the tone of the actual movie in that Deadpool carried a careless personality and didn’t really care about the damage he caused. One little tidbit in the video that I thought was good as well is how in every superhero movie, everything is destroyed, and yet the movie ends with the idea that the superhero saved everyone, which I thought was pretty funny.
