Clueless film review

I feel that Clueless is yet another classic and iconic film that allows teenagers to feel the vicarious pleasure of excitement and happiness for the success of the main character. In this case, the protagonist, Cher, is a teenage girl that seems to experience what any normal 15 year old girl would go through except she is spoiled by her extremely rich father who is a professional lawyer of the upper class. This narrative brings joy to audiences (mainly aspirers) who love watching typical romantic comedy movies that create a storyline of the disequilibrium being resolved by a new equilibrium towards the end. I believe that this film expresses and emphasises the need for a balance of understanding when it comes to success and richness in life as it covers many aspects that one faces on the daily, not only targeting profit and for an aspirer, fashion, but also love, which can be hard to find but sometimes it is brought up by the most unexpected moments in life. I absolutely loved the way that the directors used star power through the famous Alicia Silverstone (acting as Cher) to promote the film and she also fit the stereotype of women's beauty standards involving blonde hair and blue eyes with a skinny figure, back in the 90s which genuinely influenced their big audiences to watch the film. I really enjoyed watching this movie for the 4th time, at a cinema, and it's meanings were not only inspiring to me as a teenage girl but also informative on the pathways to success as shown by the protagonist and her father in the film. Overall, I rate the film 5 stars and would definitely watch it again as a comfort film!

Finished recreation video scene

Link to original: (0:22 - 0:54) https://youtu.be/e8_Z7-97mIw Link to my video:  https://youtu.be/jYYWVSgewmY 100 word explanation: Me and my friends decided to recreate an iconic scene from Gossip girl where one girl being rude to another girl by not inviting her to the biggest party of the year. They girls wear sophisticated outfits to show that they are living their successful lives in the upper class world and to emphasise their class. There is also non-diegetic sound playing in the background, which creates tension and adds to the drama in the scene. The facial expressions of the girls reveal the personalities of each of the girls, which can also be seen by their behaviour in the scene.

Parallel and contrapuntal sound practical task

 My video link: https://youtube.com/shorts/UEMq9-koHfQ Description: I did a montage of images under the violin version of a pop music sound that connoted elegance with the violin sound but also brightness, confidence and happiness due to it being a pop music sound. This genre often emphasises excitement and energy into a media text. The first couple of images in my video are contrapuntal to the sound used as they are in black and white so they connote depression, sadness, and gothic vibes, which contrasts the sound and the following images of pop art and colourful pictures that are more parallel to the music playing in the background.

Mise-en-scene recreation planning

Mise-en-scene recreation - full task list: Create a blogpost called 'Mise-en-scene recreation planning' and complete the following tasks: 1) Get into groups of up to four.
