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.
