Movie Research - Mowgli (The Jungle Book)

 

What Conventions of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?

 A convention that I am obsessed with is the unknown narrator or voice over telling a story as it plays out. It really brings the fantasy trope to life and adds a sense of mystery to the film. The setting of this movie is in the jungle. It adds a very mystical vibe although not an unnatural place it isn't common for people to just randomly go to the jungle. The use of a what seems like an unachievable or far from a mundane setting is what really makes it fantasy.

What Conventions of the genre does this movie have that you liked?

The use of CGI to make talking animals was very intriguing. It was interesting to hear the story from the perspective of an animal rather than a person. I also, liked the use of dramatic music que after the intro story or main action is shown. The use of rain to create a dramatic feeling of melancholy.

What Conventions of the genre does this movie have that you did not like?

There wasn't much that I disliked about the movie. I felt that everything was suited for this movie. However, If I had to choose, I would say I don't plan on utilizing extreme darks unless necessary.
