Who Wants To Be A Millionaire : The Original UK TV Show It is a British television quiz show, created and produced by David Briggs, and made for the ITV network. On air since September 1998 and devised by Briggs, the show's format sees contestants taking on multiple-choice questions based upon general knowledge, winning a cash prize for each question they answer correctly, with the amount offered increasing as they take on more difficult questions. To assist each contestant who takes part, they are given lifelines to use, may walk away with the money they already have won if they wish not to risk answering a question, and are provided with a safety net that gives them a guaranteed cash prize if they give an incorrect answer, provided they reach a specific milestone in the quiz.   It has made catchphrases out of several lines used on the show. The most well-known of these catchphrases is the host's question "Is that your final answer?", asked whenever a contes...

Attack the block  1)  The film costed roughly $13 million to make, I think the cost went to mainly the cost of making all of the scenes which is very important in making this film.  2)   Jodie Wittacker also known as actor from doctor who and Broadchurch        John Boyega also known from star wars and pacific rim       Alex Esmail know from payback season and switch       Leeon Jones also know from Jack Ryan and Baywatch       Franz Drameh best known from edge of tomorrow and know is good  3) I think Joe Cornish chose to film the set in South London because it is known as a place where young teens have the stereotype as being the age group that gets in to the most trouble especially in these, perhaps poorer parts, of London. and in a film about age stereotypes it makes it the perfect place to film attack the block. It also shows that some peopl...

Divergent   In the scene 'welcome to dauntless' In the movie 'Divergent' mise-en-scene (props, costume, hair/make-up, lighting, setting and character expression and movement) is used to create meaning. In this scene the props of the tall sky scrappers gives it the sense of danger and being fearless which is what the faction dauntless is all about. Mise-En-Scene The costume in this scene shows all of the new initiates in there different faction clothing, abnegation-grey, amity-orange/yellow, candor-black/grey, dauntless-black, erudite-navy blue. this shows that some of them are new to this kind of environment and might be nervous because they are doing activities that are completely against what they are comfortable with.   The hair and make-up is all quite similar. It all very natural, so much so it doesn't even look like are wearing any make-up. all there hair is blowing from the wind which also is a way in representing how high up there are again s...

Fighting With My Family  1. what is the overall user rating for this film 12A 2. how well did the film do at the box office in its opening weekend in the US? $138,780 3. How have fans responded to the film (provide a quote that you agree with) most of the rating were higher than 7/10 " Fun coming of age story with a great amount of laughter, drama, and of course wrestling. Well paced with decent writing and all the actors do well in their roles. For wrestling fans and non fans alike. There's something for everyone to like." 4.  It has finally happened. An actual  good  movie has been released here in 2019. Shockingly, it’s a product of WWE Studios which isn’t necessarily known for quality. What’s even crazier is that it’s actually a welcome glance into the world of professional wrestling. As WWE has grown larger as a company over the years, it has increasingly pushed “entertainment” as the main priority. Wrestling has since taken something o...

Representation Of Ethnicity, Disability/Ability Or Class/Status Bend It Like Beckham   In the first clip from this scene the girl is represented as less able to play football compare to the boys. And the boys are represented as more able and in a higher class.   This is shown by character expression and movement (an element of mise-en-scene) of the males with no tops on shouting and laughing a young teen Asian girl playing football.By the background we can tell that the scene is filmed in a church yard probably in the UK on a summers day.   By this scene the Asian girl is represented as unable to play football like the boys which suggests that men are better football players than girls, because of this she's also represented as being in a lower class than the males. Also by the way the male in the orange trousers picks her up as if she is a child and he is her parent makes her look less important.    In the next scene in the house t...

The close up camera shot in this photo makes you focus straight away on the main character. Close up camera shots takes up at least 80% of the whole shot. It usually shows small movement or emotion shown in the face. It can also be used to create empathy closeness to a character.    From his facial expressions and the camera angle you can tell that he is in his own little world and not focused unlike the other characters in this scene. Which could suggest he is thinking about something or someone else like another character.  The camera shot is a extreme long shot which  picks out a features of a person, object or a place and magnifies, this gives it significance. It often represents the audience with a idea about what may happen later. The camera effect in this photo has a blurred background. The female character is the only thing that isn't blurred which makes you focus on her focused and intelligent facial expressions. Which could suggest she is v...
