The Lego Movie: Industry Research 

LO: to research the progress, companies and regulators behind the film industry.

Regulation 

regulators are usually industry bodies that do of two things

. Classify

 products (normally by age rating) 

. Ensure context of products meets acceptable standards 


There are lots of fight sequences in which the good characters take on various baddies, including Lego robots and Lego skeletons. The Lego figures kick and punch at each other, while leaping around in fantastical style. Very few of the blows are clearly seen to land and all the action involves toy figures rather than humans. Occasionally the heads of the Lego figures pop off during fights, and one character's head is knocked off by a flying coin but continues to talk to his friends. Other sequences have science fiction space ships and robots shooting laser beams at others, causing explosions and crashes. No one is seen to get hurt and the fact that all the fighting involves animated toy figures means that the fantasy nature of the violence is very clear.

but there was some sort of violence in the film  

1. why is it important for film regulation to exist. it protects venerable  adults and children 
2. some people might be against regulation because some people think it is to controlling 
3. the BBFC changed there name because if they name is censors the would censor things in the film 
Narrative Theory
LO: to explore the narrative and apply the narrative theory to lego movie 
1. the lego movie is a mixture of genres: romance, action, fantasy, comedy 
2. it inmates the matrix 
3. hyper reality 



Equilibrium- emmet wakes and goes and gets a coffee
Disruption- he hears about lord business
recognition of disruption- goes to lord business and asks what is wrong 
Attempt to solve- goes and gets rid of the bad guys powers 
New equilibrium- he gets rid of lord business powers and they live normally

Thursday 10 November 2022 


Explain how the lego movie trailer uses TWO elements of media language to target different audience 


One element used in the Lego Movie trailer is sounds. For example, they use different sounds like gunshots, explosions. This would appeal to teenagers because they would find the movie more interesting. In particular where Emmet is running from Lord Business.

One element used in the Lego Movie trailer is editing. For example, they use different speed all the way through. This would appeal to most people because the movie wont be fast or slow through out the whole film. In particular when Emmet is falling out the building and when emmet is on the train running from bad cop.

Poster Campaign 

LO: to analyse the representations on the poster campaign 






 



 



Denotations: there is a grey sky, burning building, debris in the air, windows 

Connotations: the burning building suggests that there is alot of action and burning things 

Grey Sky: theres a lot of smoke in the air 

debris: there is a lot of damage 

batman: there is a lot of fighting and killing 

he is part of DC, he has a black costume on, has a mask on












Context: the colour palette is bright colours which means it is a fun movie and it attracts the kids.

Logo: the logo is so big because the want to promote Lego and they know who it was made by

Font: the chose this font because it made out of Lego and it is a lego movie.

Images: Lord Business is the bad guy and Emmet is the good guy by there facial expressions, this says how we need to be in the game and who is the bad guy and the good guy.            



Thursday 24 November 2022 






























In the LM poster, they have a image is Batman at the bottom of the poster. This would appeal to the teenagers and young adults because that is something they would watch when they was young. This is a feeling pf nostalgia will make them watch it.
 
In the LM poster, they have a image of Wildstyle at the bottom of the poster. This would appeal teenage girls because they might like her hair or the way she dresses. This might make them watch it because they might find her interested. It means she is one of the main characters because she is at the front.

In the LM poster, there is signs of the movie being full of action because there is Emmet screaming and there is lord business after him. This would appeal to teenagers because they would enjoy the action adventure genre.

INITIAL RESEARCH: good notes THEORY & AUDIENCE: good notes MARKETING CAMPAIGN: clearly understood VIDEO GAME Q: good solid answer GAME COVER ANALYSIS: This needed to be written as a full analysis in full sentences POSTER ANALYSIS [10]: excellent! WWW:you've correctly explained three elements and their appeal EBI: try to use the terms connotes/connotations

Thursday 8 December 2022                            Representation 

LO: to analyse the representations throughout The Lego Movie promotional campaign


1. Carlos- he has autism and he gets bullied all the time- hispanic 

2. gertrude- she is transgenders and she is a nerd and likes hello kitty- asian 

3. Michael- he is really spotty and has a bad past of bullies- white 

4. charlie- is physically able and was assigned to show the new kids around the school-white 

5. raj- he is gay and likes makeup and he stands to the bullies- Indian 


1. the make up and coloured hair support her stereo typical portrayal of females

2. she's acts heroic and very male like this challenges her stereo typical portrayal

3.  males are always the strong and the people that are not scared but wildstyle isn't scared and emmet is and he always stays behind wildstyle

she was fighting and was changing female portrayals 


The wrinkles on lord business face says he is about middle aged but Vitruvius he has wrinkles and he has grey hair so that means he is older then everyone. Emmet and Wildstyle have no wrinkle so they are young.                                                            

Vitruvius is challenges old age stereotypes because he is as capable as the others

LO: to review and reflect on the unit assessment and set personal targets


Question 6: Warner Bros, For question 6 i need to

Question 8: read the question right next time 

Question 9: I need to write more and look at the question  


There is a range of target audience for the Lego Movie there is little lego cards for the younger people, there is toys of the characters for the younger people as well. Wildstyle is for the younger girls because she wears make up and has dyed hair. Emmet is for the they young boys because he is the only main boy in there apart from batman. All these characters will make people watch the Lego Movie. There is also Benny the Space man on the poster as well for older people because he was a character when they were younger
