An Analysis Of Waynes world


Wayne's World is a comedy movie about two best friends Wayne Campbell played by Mike Mysers and Garth Algar who is played by Dana Carvey who both made a cable TV show called "Wayne's World" and they dream to make the show a living, this movie constantly breaks the fourth wall as Wayne talks directly to the audience in some parts of the movie, talking to the audience. Wayne, Garth and the three camera men that film their show go to a heavy metal club called "gasworks" and Wayne sees a band on stage with a girl named Cassandra and then falls in love with her and while they were there, they signed a deal with a producer guy named Benjamin Oliver who also saw Cassandra and was interested in her talent and gave her his card and then Wayne and Garth finally got their wish to "get paid to do Wayne's World"  and get paid $500 each and then Wayne bought a white guitar he has been eyeing for a while and then dates Cassandra, Garth sees a girl that he immediately falls in love with and every time he sees her, he falls back in a slapstick manor and talks about the TV producer and then get along and Cassandra told Wayne that he could call her any time. Later on in the movie Wayne and Garth practice for their first episode of Wayne's world in an actual studio and see what its like to be in a studio.



The morning after Wayne and Garth got the deal, they play a game of hockey outside and talk about the deal that they made, then Benjamin has a conversation with Garth about Noah being a special guest on Wayne's world and Garth said he feared changes but Benjamin went on with it anyways, then the next scene had Wayne and Cassandra drive to a music shop that had a guitar that Wayne has been looking at for a while then they see Garth randomly appear in the music store like he was following them and Garth sees a set of drums and ends up being amazing at it and gets a compliment from one of the workers and right after that, Wayne showed that he had the money he needed to buy his dream guitar and finally got what he wanted.
                                     


While Wayne and Garth were eating lunch in the studio and Benjamin and one of the producers talk about Noah being on the show and how Wayne didnt like the idea but that Wayne didn't have a choice since it was in his contract, so Benjamin comes up to Wayne,Garth and the three camera men and says that there will be a sponsor on the show and Wayne refuses by saying that he "will never bow down to any sponsor" and then ends up doing sponsors for eight different products while he is talking about never doing sponsors, such and pizza hut.reebok clothes etc.
                                                          
        

Later on Benjamin invites Wayne,Garth and Cassandra to his home and since they were on the twenty third floor Garth got scared and went back as the rest went onto the balcony and then talked directly to the camera and started talking about the house they were in and walks around like he is on a TV show and when he goes back to Wayne and Cassandra, Benjamin gave them tickets and backstage passes to an Alex Cooper concert and then offered chinese takeout and when he ordered he spoke in fluent Chinese and everyone got amazed. Later Cassandra and her band play a song in front of Benjamin and after Benjamin goes and talks with Cassandra and he asks her if he could spend the rest of the afternoon with her, and at the same time Wayne and Garth are in a car joyriding with a new lickerish dispenser they added to the car, then they go on a montage with skipping,singing, riding bikes and acting like they are in a intro to some sort of tv show but then realise that the Alice cooper show starts soon and go to the concert and go to backstage to look around.
                                             

When Wayne and Garth go walk to backstage, they somehow end up going outside and see a huge limo and ask if it is Alice Cooper's limo but see a security guard that told them alot of information about the Limo and where it was going and after that Wayne and Garth walked away and Wayne looked directly at the camera and asked the audience that if they thought for a security guard, he had a bit too much information and got a bit confused. When Wayne and Garth finally get backstage, they use there backstage passes to get into Alice Cooper's dressing room and see Alice Cooper and his band, and then Wayne asks Alice if he came to Milwaukee often and then Alice said a whole lot of long facts about the area and Wayne and Garth got confused and said "doesnt this guy know how to party!" and all the band members got a bit confused and after that Wayne and Garth were going to go back but then Alice stopped them asking if they wanted to hang out with him and the band, and Wayne and Garth got confused and excited at the same time and started praising Alice while chanting "we're not worthy!" 3 times.
                                         
As Wayne and Garth finally get to the studio to film the first ever episode of Wayne's World in an actual studio, they get told that mr Vanderhoff will be there guest on the show and they get confused and angry and ask for an answer and then see all the things that they changed such as adding a new theme song, a new sign and a new announcer so one of the producers give Wayne some cards that has questions he has to ask, so Wayne took them but asked for a pen so he could "write some notes" but ended up writing insults of the guest they were having on the show to make him look bad on live TV so the producers get angry at theme while the original camera crew is laughing at the same time, but for that Wayne got fired from his own show and said that he was taking his show with him but then Benjamin said that they owned the show, not Wayne or Garth, so Wayne left angrily and left Garth on his own to host the show, but Garth got nervous and couldn't say anything and started panicking,during that moment Cassandra got a call from Benjamin, reminding her about the deal they had before and Cassandra agreed to it and said that she is looking forward to it/
                                                         
After that Garth told Wayne that he didnt like how he just left out on the show and how how he walked out on Garth by leaving him to host by himself even though "he handled it pretty well" and then him and Wayne had an argument  and Wayne left to find Cassandra after Garth told him that Cassandra might be interested in Benjamin since he has alot that  a perfect husband would have, money,fame and good looks and how Wayne has none of that, so Wayne rushed to Cassandra but when he actually saw Cassandra, he had an argument with her saying that Benjamin only noticed her because of her looks, so Cassandra went to California to shoot her video. As Wayne is angrily walking away he talks to the camera saying what he is going to do and that he is going to solve the problem.

The next scene has Garth playing with his food and stabbing his doughnuts like a horror movie, then Wayne walks up to him and apologises so the two try to come up with a plan to get Cassandra back and get her noticed, and Wayne came up with the idea that mr Big aka the guy that owned the limo, could watch her performance and that could get her noticed and with all the information they got from that security guard at the concert, they came up with there plan and talked about how lucky they were to get all that information, but all they needed were people to help them so all there friends in the store gathered around and said that they will help.

As Wayne drives to California, Cassandra and her band are shooting the video but as she is filming, she is holding a snake around her body and complains on how it weighs a ton, later when the filming was done, Cassandra was talking to Benjamin about what to do next and then Wayne ran yelling Cassandra's name and then asks her to take him back and while he gave this big emotional speech which was like an "oscar clip" worthy moment and after that Wayne got angry that the band wasn't there and asked where they were but right at that moment they were right behind him and then he realised, and as he went he went to the camera thinking there was no film in the camera so he opened it, and all the camera roll and ruined all the film they recorded and was told to go home but then Cassandra realised that Benjamin was not the right person and went with Wayne.
                                           
Finally Cassandra and her band perform a song live on Wayne's World and coincidentally mr Big was watching at the same time and when he finally gets there he said that she had an amazing voice and amazing looks but it wasn't the right time and then Cassandra got angry and left and the house blew up with flames everywhere and then it came to a scene at the beach with Cassandra and Benjamin and the movie was about to end but in came Wayne and Garth saying that they would never end the movie like that, and Garth suggested a scooby doo ending and it ended up having Benjamin being a old man called old man Withers who owned a amusement park, after that Garth suggested a "mega happy ending" which ended with everyone getting aside there differences and everyone got what they wanted and ended with "everyone being better people" and the movie came to a close with everyone laughing at the end.

planning the edit workshop

on the first page it has the first four scenes where the teacher is waiting while looking at the clock and then there is the student rushing to the classroom and it shows match on action with the student running and then opening the door
                                 
on the second page it shows the student opening the door and then looking at the teacher, then the teacher asks for homework and it shows match on action when the student opens the door




on the third page it shows the student worried saying that he doesnt have the homework and then the teacher sends him to the corner of the room




on the fourth page it shows the student walking towards the wall and sitting on the ground but it also has the 150 degree rule when the camera is following the teacher pointing at the wall.








When planning for what camera shots we were going to do we decided that we would start with a long shot, so that you can tell where the situation is being taken place, and so you can fully see the body language of  the teacher, because he was waiting for the student, you can see both his face expression, and his body language, and seeing both of them you can properly see how he felt while waiting for the student,having it be a straight on, you can see more clearly how he felt. 

On the second shot is a straight on of the clock, because the scene before was a straight on, you can tell that is what the teacher is looking at, and it makes sense that he is looking at the clock while waiting for the student.

Moving on to the third scene, you can see the student walking fast towards the door in a mid shot  and having it as a mid shot and a straight on, you can see the body movements properly and at the same time you can see the students face, and you can see the students worried face expression, since he is late. 

The next scene has a mid shot match on action by showing the student opening the door after he rushed to the door in the scene before, by having match on action it adds an effect that he is rushing and it adds excitement to the scene. 

In the fourth scene  there is more match on action where the student opens the door and having a long shot so you can see the expression the student had on his face and when opening the door you could tell that he was rushing since he opened it fast. 

The fifth scene has the teacher looking angrily at the student and it has a long shot with a straight on so you can see the surroundings and the anger that the teacher had, and having a straight on you can see that, that was what the student was looking at, and it adds an effect that makes you feel like you are the student.

In the sixth scene is a two shot that has the teacher looking angrily at the student, by having a two shot, you can see both the student's and the teacher's face expressions and how they felt at that moment, having the teacher angry, and the student worried makes it clear what is happening in the scene.

The next four scenes has close ups because all four of the scenes have the student and the teacher talking to each other about the homework, and by using closeups you can clearly see the fear on the students face, and the anger on the teachers face, and you can see exactly how they are feeling during the scene.
In the eleventh scene has the 180 degree rule and it has a mid-shot of the teacher pointing to the corner of the room, sending the student there, by using the 180 degree rule, you can see where the teacher is actually pointing.The 12th scene has a close up of the student being shocked that he has to go the corner, again by having a close up, you can see how the student is feeling.In the last scene there is a long shot of the student walking to the corner then sitting down, having a long shot lets you know his surroundings, and when he actually sits down there is a high angle on him, to make him look weak at the end, and having him be in the corner makes it clear that he is sad at the end of the film. 


The mise en scene we used in the film was used through the costume and the location, we made the student wear casual clothing so that he will look like an actual student and the teacher was wearing a shirt so that he actually looked like a teacher, having the costume helped the actors fit their roles better and you can tell who they are supposed to be, we set the scene to be done inside and outside a classroom, since being in a classroom fits the situation perfectly. Having the film be set in a school will make sense to the audience watching because if the film was going on in a place such as, in a park, it would confuse the audience. We chose to spend most of the film be shot in one of the media classrooms because the room was a perfect place to film since it had the right props in the right places, such as the boards and the tables.







The music I chose to use in this film was  a piano cover of the "five nights at freddy's song by the living tombstone", the reason why I chose it is because it is a upbeat song that has a cheerful theme, having a cheerful song fits the short film, since the film is supposed to be humorous, having a happy song makes it more cheerful for the audience watching. When we chose to pick a song for the film, we decided that we should chose a piano song that had an upbeat sound to it so that there would be more for the audience to enjoy. When the film starts, the music will play but it will start two minutes and twenty eight seconds into the song, since that is when the upbeat part of the song begins, and the music fits the film perfectly since at the beginning the teacher is waiting and the music is not very upbeat at that moment but then it gets upbeat and at the same time the student is running, so the music fits the scenes perfectly.

review on Wayne's World

Wayne's world is a comedy movie and was released in the year 1992, and is about two best friends, Wayne Campbell played by Mike Myers and there is Garth Algar played by Dana Carvey,it was directed by Penelope Spheeris and the movie is about the two friends who made a TV show called Wayne's World and they dream to make their show a living, and then they get a TV offer for $10,000 but then they realize that the person that they signed with changed the show and now they had to find a way to get it back to the way it was before.When I first watched this movie, I found it very amusing and I think it stands out from many other movies since its done like a vlog through most of the movie, which is clever because that makes some of the scenes in the movie move smoothly to the next scene, and having it done like a vlog, the characters talked to the audience, and it is clever since it let the characters show how they felt about what was going on in the scenes they were in. The costume that the director chose for the actors to wear was a good decision since it fits the characters well, as they are being  two slacker rock fans, it fits there characters perfectly.The set that the director chose to shoot the movie was also a good choice since at first Wayne and Garth filmed there show in Wayne's basement and later on they filmed it in  a studio which is where the main settings in the movie is filmed, which gave the audience an idea on how much the basement meant to Wayne and Garth.

This is a movie that I highly suggest watching, when I finished watching the movie it became one of my favorite movies,It has many scenes that you can enjoy, one of my favorite scenes was the scene when Wayne and Garth got a deal but it had a sponsor, and they said they would never do sponsors, but then did many while saying it, what made this scene interesting was that when they showed the products, they actually made it look like an advert,which added more humor to the scene.

After watching the whole movie, I would say that it is now one of my favorite movies, it has many scenes that would make you laugh, the cast for the movie is chosen perfectly as everyone fits there role very well. I found most of the scenes hilarious as it has many jokes that you can enjoy. I like the  way that Wayne and Garth talk to the camera through some parts of the movie, and how it gives information which also adds humor as it isnt what you would usually see in a movie.

In conclusion I highly suggest watching this movie, it is one of the best movie's that i have seen and it has many scenes that you can enjoy, it is a fun movie to watch and it is better to watch it with others,if you like rock music and a good laugh, I highly suggest that you watch this movie. This movie has a very good plot and many interesting characters within this film, it is one of the rare movies that I would say, you need to watch,

Mise En Scene

In this Lesson we were told  to take four-five images with the themes of "Gangster"/"Action"/"Family" and "Thriller".I worked with Arman Ali and Faris Rahman 

 In this blog  I will analyse the best and worst images and I will explain the Mise-en-Scene in each picture 

This first image has the theme of "Gangster" and in this image you see a person with a dark hood on which makes him seem dark and mysterious, it makes you wonder what is going to happen.  The area that we have chosen for this image is perfect because the location we have chosen is perfect for the situation because having the person being near a parking lot makes you wonder why he is there in the first place, which adds some mystery to the image, making you wonder what he is going to do next because you might wonder if he is waiting for someone or planning something, so it leaves the people looking at the image thinking, without giving the answer In this image we have used both costume and location to add mystery to the image.
 The second image we took was "Action" and in this scene you see a fight scene going on and using face expressions, it adds emotion to the image such as seeing the anger on the face of the person giving the punch, you can see the aggression in the punch that he gave without actually seeing the fist moving and by looking at the face of the person getting hit, you can see that he is getting knocked out and by doing that it shows the force that that punch had. The location we chose to take this photo suits the situation, because being in a park is perfect because some fights usually happen in wide spaces such as a park so the location was perfect for the image.
 
The third image we took has the theme "Thriller" and this image I would say is the best image because in the situation a person is being stabbed by a masked man in a  quiet area. Having the location near some bushes and some trees was immaculate for the image and having the killer have his face covered adds suspense and mystery to the image and makes you wonder why he is stabbing the person and makes you wonder who he is. I think the Mise-en-Scene is great in this shot because of the costume and area in the image
 The last image that we took has the theme of "Family" but I think that this image is the worst image because the location and props we used was a bad choice for the image because the two people in the image are both wearing ID badges which makes them more look like classmates rather than family, and the location that we have chosen more looks like a school more than a house so it doesn't really seem like  a family, and it might confuse some people that are looking at the image. The Mise-en-Scene in this image could be improved if we chose a better location and if we were not wearing our ID badges, so that it would look more like a family

My Media Summer

In my Summer holidays, i have listened to some music, watched some tv shows, read some news, gone on the internet and watched some movies.                                           

One of the shows that I mostly watched during the summer holidays was a show called "Full Metal Alchemist", which was a animated series about two boys named "Alphonse and Edward Elrick" that lost their body parts trying to get their mother back from the dead using human transmutation. However, without knowing the consequences Edward lost his right arm and leg and Alphonse lost his whole body so his soul was placed inside a suit of armor. Edward was given an arm and leg made of steel and the two brothers were on a quest to get their original bodies back. However there were some problems they had encountered and there were these creatures called "homunculi" which were creatures created with philosopher stones that look like humans but have powers and they were told to catch Alphonse and Edward so they can learn how to use human transmutation and sacrifice humans so they can gain immortality. When I finished this series, overall it was very enjoyable and it was full of action and suspense which made it fun to watch.

                                                     
                                          
                                                      
Another television show that I watched in the summer holidays was a comedy show called "Impractical Jokers" on "Comedy Central". This is a show about four friends doing harmless pranks on people and seeing the reactions they get. Every time I watched this show it got me laughing and there was not one episode that i did not find enjoyable. I found it enjoyable because the jokers each had to do a prank on someone and the ones that failed were put on the loser bored and the one that had the most losses had to do a public punishment that the other three jokers have organised, so when you watch the show, it makes you wonder who will be the loser - and this keeps you watching, Overall it was a show that I would recommend others to watch.

                                   
                                       
                                                       
When I had some spare time in the summer holidays I went on some websites on the internet. One of the websites that I mostly went on was a website called "DeviantArt" which is a social media website where artists post there art online and get feedback from others online, chat to people, search some art up and add it to a collection called "favorites". I mostly spent my time on this website because I enjoyed talking to people online and I like finding art to add to my collection. It is a perfect website for those who enjoy art and drawing which is why i mostly went on it. 


                                                                                                                    

When i spent my time on the internet in the summer holidays I came across some news articles, which talked about the death of the WWE wrestlers "Rowdy Roddy Piper" and "Dusty Rhodes". These were two " hall of famers" in WWE that have helped the business throughout the years that have both passed away in June and July.

 

One of the first things I did in the summer was listen to music and one of the artists I mostly listened to was a heavy metal band called Slipknot. One of the main reasons why I like this band is that I like listening to the voices and instrumental in the songs. I like them because they're different from other bands as they wear masks and I enjoy how they go wild live on stage which is also one of the main reasons why I enjoy seeing them live.


The last thing I did in the summer holidays was watch a movie on DVD called "Big Hero 6". This is a movie about a boy named "Hiro" that lives with his brother named "Tadashi" that has made a robot called "Baymax"who was made to help heal people. But his brother ended up dieing in an explosion and there is a villain that wears a mask called "Yokai" who is trying to destroy the city so "Hiro" made some superhero suits for "Baymax" and his friends so they can defeat "Yokai" and so they can find out who he really is. The reason why I enjoyed this movie is that it had a lot of action,drama and suspense which makes a good movie .

Overall this has been My Media Summer
