Epic Movie

Epic Movie is a spoof movie which spoofs scenes from globally known films such as The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Pirates of the Caribbean and many others. There are several scenes from all these movies which have been recreated with added comedy which makes it really funny to watch.

Research on spoof movies

Spoofs also known as parodys or ‘Mockbusters’ are remakes of particular genres or films such as horror and are turned into Comedy. There can be many scenes from a variety of films all put into one spoof movie and they all would have been mocked and made to be funny and less dramatic.

Here is the trailer for Vampires Suck it is a spoof of the Twilight movie and the originally dramatic movie that everyone loved has been spoofed and it has been turned into a hilarious mockery.

Film Opening Idea- Spoof

We have rethought our idea and thought that working with an animal would be rather tricky and we thought it would be too muddy and dirty to film in a field in during the winter. We have decided on something completely different and something that is a new genre and has not been done before. We are thinking of doing a horror spoof and  thought about spoofing Paranormal Activity, The Exorcist and perhaps Narnia in our film opening which we think will be quite funny and we think we can pull it off.

Gender representation essay

We each completed a section of the essay over the half term and put them all together and uploaded it to Scribd. I think our essay is rather good as it is detailed and refers back to the title as well as using code significance and representation.
