1920 Evil Returns- Bollywood Production Context

This film was directed by a man called bhushan patel

The story revolves around a famous poet who meets a woman who is in trouble it later turns out that she has been possesed by an evil spirit.

The genre of this film is horror romance. Both characters in this are starting to fall in love but the girl is posesserd this fits in automatically with the two different genres.

This film is a bollywood film it has a famous bollywood cast such as Aftab shivdasani who plays the poet jaidev verma who has starred in lots of other bollywood films he has starred in around 45 other bollywood films so is very well known. This film has a few effects in it which i think were overdone they used effects when they were not even needed.

In this film the characters speak in a different language this shows that it could be bollywood whereas hollywood and british films are in english also the narrative in this film is very complex it has a strange beginning apparently the girl lost her memories and cant remember any of it. One of the main things that showed me that it was a bollywood film was that in the film they refer to each other by their famioy names for instance Jaidev always adrersses his sister as sister instaed of her name which is something most bollywood films do because they are very much infuenced by family.

The technology in this film also indicated that it was bollywood due to the tackyness of the visual effects they were overdone and in a word awful but that is bollywood, the effects in it are nothing compared to that of hollywood films whop spend so long on one effect that when you see it it changes the film entirely.

I actually kinda of liked the film in a certain way i thought the narrative was very interesting but i dindt like how they pulled it off cause A. it didnt appeal to me . there was no need for music and C. the effects spoilt the film as they were tacky and over done. if it was made by hollywood or british i think i would of liked it more by the way they would make it.

Resident Evil

Resident Evil

 

Resident Evil was made in 2002 it was directed by Paul W.S Anderson the main actors in the film are milla jovovich who plays alice, colin salmon who playes James and michelle rodriguez who plays rain.

 

Resident Evil is a mixture of three genres horror, action and sci-fi. The reason why it fits into these three genres is because of the the way its filmed, the characters in the movie itself and the story. This film is filmed with lots of different paced shots and lots of sdifferent types of shots for instance in one part they are getting killed by the zombies the shots are very quick paced and quite jumpy this shows off action but when something creepy is about to happpen its very slow paced and the shots are longer and less jumpy.

 

This movie is a hollywood movie there are many aspects that show it is a hollywood film, there is the cast, effects and budget as well as set, location and production crew. The cast of this movie are major stars and have starred in other films or TV before for instance milla jovovich starred in the film zoolander with ben stiller and colin salmon starred in arrow and Doctor Who.


In Resident Evil lots of things that were involved in the film made it noticable as a hollywood production such as the characters Milla Jovovich is portrayed in a way that appeals to men due to what she wears (relates to feminism theory). The dialogue in this movie shows that it is a hollywood production due to the language and accent, compare this movie to Dog Soldiers the way the characters speak is different for instance americans in a film say get lost but british people say piss-off which shows that dialogue in resident evil is different meaning the film would fit with a different production context. The location of this film is set in a building and in big locations showing complication which is found in most hollywood films it also shows that the film would have a larg-ish budget which is something all hollywood films have.

Hollywood are very well known for use of technology to create SFX, sound effects and animation. In Resident Evil they use SFX in lots of different situations for instance the scene where the beams where killing the soldiers that would have been done using SFX. You can usually tell if a film fits with hollywood because the SFX are always perfect they dont look cheap and quick/rushed they are properly done to make them look realistic. Bollywood usually go over the top with SFX and rush them which makes it look ovedone and tacky In british films there are rarely SFX because they focus on different aspects Hollywood use there SFX well especially in films like resident evil.

Hollywood Are good at creating action films and superhero films because of there skills with SFX where as bollywood would be skilled making films with little to no SFX and finally british are good with cameras so they are good with horror.
