Movie Rating using Rubric


The movie I decided to watch and score was the Lego Batman Movie. 

The movie I decided to watch and score was the Lego Batman Movie. An animated action movie released in 2017, created by Warner Bros. studios.

Story- In my opinion, the story takes a backseat in the movie compared to the dynamic characters and impressive animation. The movie is a comedy, so the story doesn’t take itself too seriously, which I enjoyed. The plot is that of a typical Batman; he finds a villain, in this case all of the villains he’s fought, there’s a side plot involving different characters, they go through a struggle and ultimately use the power of friendship to save the day. It’s a simple feel good movie with a rather standard plot.

Rating: 15/20

Camera work- Since it was animated, there were no instances of human influence when it came to camera shots and angles. Stop motion movies such at this take tons of time with many camera angles implemented one frame at a time. The movie still uses all kinds of camera shots and angles masterfully, so I suppose having the edge of animation makes more options available. Not to mention how it was a commercial production, so the editing was very good.

Rating: 20/20

Dialogue: I think that this is where the movie shines. With interesting characters as well as witty and funny dialogue, the movie is never boring. There’s always something happening on screen whether it be the setting or a character, there is never a dull moment. As I said earlier, the movie doesn’t take itself very seriously, so it’s a nice lighthearted movie.

Rating: 20/20

Actors- Being an animated movie, there’s was no actors with an onscreen performance as it was just Lego figures on screen. Despite this, the voice actors did a very nice job giving all characters an interesting and unique personality.

Rating: 15/20

Total- 70/80

 Blog Post #7- 10/24/22 Mood Board Project The genre I chose for my mood board is horror. Given the time of year, it felt only fitting. The recipe for most modern and old horror movies consists of a dark, gritty setting with less than dependable characters and of course a formidable threat, in the form of an angry spirit or an axe wielding maniac. Locations can vary significantly, with some settings including a city or entire state, and some confined to a few rooms in a house. A very good example of this is a movie I saw recently, "The Black Phone". The location for the movie is Wilmington, North Carolina. Despite this, the setting of the movie is mostly a small room holding the main protagonist as he deals with the insanity of the villain. I feel that horror movies can have limitless creative freedom with props, as horror just has to give the audience a feeling of unease and danger. Prop designers can create Eldritch beings beyond human understanding as seen in "The Mis...

 Blog Post #19- Challenges of Filming During our filming, we did face a couple problems. Since our scene needed to be filmed in the dark but we met during the day. We needed to block out all sources of lights in the room, which required us to close blinds, shutters, and small windows. Another challenge was actually planning to meet up and film which we were able to do. We handled the challenges well, being able to cover everything and film what we needed. Everyone was pulling their weight as we had multiple roles in the film and a cameraman. Our filming process went very well with minimal roadblocks.
