In my own opinion I think that Hollywood is very powerful because they make some entertainment for people. If they was no Hollywood then it means that they would be no movies like action movies or sci-fi and comedy with better technologies and making fiction come to life. However there is Nollywood and Bollywood but then its not movies that everyone watches because they make it in their own language, but with Hollywood they make it in English which means there movies hs a mass audince than others that have a niche audience.
The audience are important in film industry because if the audience don't watch the movies that means the movie is not going to make a profit but lose a lot of money. The cinemas are also important or the people that screens the movies because you are not going to make a lot of money if you don't make people to pay to watch the movie rather than to buy a dvd which will not cost a lot of money. Last but not least advertising is very important because you want people to know that there has been a new movie that has been realeased in order for people to come to the cinema and watch the movie. Also if you don't advertise your movie then know one is going to watch the movie because they dont know it's been realeased.

Filming James Bond Scene
When i was re-filminhg the James Bond scene, I found it really hard because yu have to do it in scenes.Which means you have to shoot a certain scene and stop and do anopther one. The other thing I found really hard is me and Zain had to find actors, for example we had to find a teacher who is in a suit. This was hard because teachers are all busy and to find someone who has a free lesson or not doing anything is quiet hard. Overall I actually find it very funny being a director and recreating a scene from Casino Royale James Bond.

Monster in Law
MISE EN SCENE- CLPPS
The costume that they use in the movie called Monster in Law are just casual clothes, to show us that they are not people who are struggling with their lives but pretty comfortable with it. However , Jane Fonda played by Viola Fields and Michael Vartan played by Dr Kevin Fields are rich which means they were expensive clothes because they can afford it than the rest.
At the beginning of the trailer they don’t use any lightning because its day light which means you don’t need any lightning because you can see properly. Maybe they might have used some lightning but to be honest I don’t think so because it’s unnecessary. They use a lot of candles , to make the scene romantic as they are celebrating an engagement at a party. By seeing this candles it will make it easier for the audience to understand that there is love celebration. In my opinion I think it will make it easier because a lot of candles signify something romantic and special love. When they are in the kitchen they is a light on where Charlie played by Jennifer Lopez is cooking. This makes it also easier for us to understand that she is cooking because the light as at the cooker only, not in the rest of the kitchen. So the movie director wants to make it easier for us to understand the movie, so that we can enjoy it because if he tried to complicate things then we wouldn’t understand what’s going on.
The production design for the scene at the beginning is there are in a garden and they are using props. For example they are using glasses and a jar. This scene is not complicated because you know that they are relaxing and sharing their troubles, like Charlie played Jennifer Lopez is sharing her troubles to her friends about her mother in law who is treating her badly. Jane Fonda played by Viola Fields is in a mansion and everything that is in that house is very expensive which means that she is very rich and lives a luxurious life and a higher class lady.
In the movie they uses a lot of props, for example when Viola Fields has a horn that is used to make a lot of noise. When you see the horn you just know that the character is going to use this prop in an negative way. The reason why the director made this character use this prop is to show the audience the tension between this two characters Viola and Charlie. The other prop that they use is sleeping pills, they used sleeping pills because they wanted to show the battle between them because the two of them wants to show their strengths or the strengths that they will go to in order for one of them to win.
Where the cast is there is so much space, for example the houses that they were in has a lot of space. This shows us that they are people who doesn’t struggle but there lives are comfortable for them. However the scene where Charlie and Viola are sleeping together they don’t really have much space, to show us that that there must be a reason why Viola decided to sleep with her. I think that the reason is pretty clear, she is looking for a chance to make Charlie’s life miserable because she hates her and she is cold towards her. So because of Viola’ behaviour you can just know that she is going to make her daughter in law’s life distressed.

Wolverine
The genre of the film called "Wolverine" is Action,Thriller, Fantasy and Sci-Fi. It was released on the 29th of April 2009. The director of the movie is called Gavin Hood and the writers of the movie are David Benioff and Skip Woods
Wolverine is not a remake of a book/comic, but then they are comic books and books of the movie. However, Wolverine is a fictional Canadian superhero mutant, possessing animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities, bone claws, and a healing factor that allows him to quickly recover from virtually any wound, disease or toxin, also enabling him to live beyond a normal human lifespan.
The main notable stars are Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Danny Houston and Will i am. In the movie Hugh Jackman played by Logan/ Wolverine is a brother to Liev Schreiber, who is played by Victor Creed. Logan/Wolverine lives a mutant life, he seeks revenge against his brother for the death of his girlfriend and ends up going through the Mutant X program. The reason why he went Mutant X program is because he wanted his claws to be much stronger, so that he can defeat his brother.
The target audience of the film are people who like or into comic books and people who are in their 30s and 40s going down to about teenagers. The reason why I said teenagers it's because every teenagers likes a movie that ends up the good guys winning, which means when evil guys die at the end of the movie like what happens at the end of this movie.
In my opinion, I really find this movie very enjoyable, amusing and very interesting because I wanted Hugh Jackman who is played by Logan/Wolverine to get revenge on the people who were killing other mutants and his brother. Even though I enjoyed the movie, I didn't like the fact that Logan/Wolverine loses his memory and his girlfriend ends up dying at the end of the movie. It also seems as if at the beginning of the movie, they were rushing it so that they can get to the middle of the movie because that’s the best part of the movie. Overall, I actually found the movie very thrilling and I hope they make part two of the movie because the way it ended it seemed like it's going to be continuously.
There was some stylistic/camera techniques that inspired me, for example they used a mid-shot to show us facial expressions of Wolverine/Logan that he was furious; they wanted to erase all of his memories because they thought he was dead while they where doing an experiment on him. There was also fast tracking when Victor was running, he is a mutant and his powers are like a cheetah, which means he can run very fast.
The messages and values of the film are tolerance and multiculturalism because the mutants don't get along with each other. Instead of them acting as one, they are too busy fighting and killing each other. So the lesson we can learn from this is to get along with each other not fighting and killing each other.
