22 jump street
Establishing Shot is used in the opening scene, because it tells the audience where this scene is going to take place, and sometimes the audience can tell what is going to happen next in the scene with this shot.
There is then a close-up of Schmidt face when they are investigating the drug can show the character’s expressions and their thoughts at the time which is clear to the audience. The look Schmidt gives shows that he is very serious and does not want to get caught out because it is a drug deal that they want to hijack and arrest the people involved.
A Long shot is used of Schmidt and Jenko leaning on the car. This can make the audience believe that they are rich because the car is expensive and is a sports car.
In 22 Jump Street, they use props like guns which links with the action genre because the guns that are shown can be used in future gun fights with antagonists which links to action. The clothing that is worn at the beginning of 22 Jump Street can relate to Mexican clothing. This is due to the character of Schmidt wearing glasses and a bandana on his head. This gives off the Mexican feel because this is what people stereotypically think Mexicans wear. We also see the sun breaking through the buildings in the background. This is low key lighting which is used to show the two characters have to go undercover into a dark character for the start and are shown to be the protagonists.
At the point there is a small piece of dialogue which goes “Let’s report.” We do not know why they say this at this point, but we as the audience should assume this means they are stating something very important. In the background, we begin to hear non-diegetic music which allows the montage of the two having fun with the guns look cooler and more fun for the audience to watch. We again hear some dialogue when one of the men say “surprise! There’s two more arms.” This tells us that he tries to be very comedic, and show that there will be action with guns throughout the whole film.
We then see a series of shots used as an example of montage editing. This is when they are loading up their guns and dancing around with them. Within that montage, we see a low angle shot of the men, again showing that they are going be protagonists and showing that they are powerful and we feel that we are below them. We also see them doing a number of strange actions together, which makes us feel like it will definitely be a comedy film, as they look awkward and uncomfortable and try and make us as the audience laugh.
The genre of 22 Jump Street can clearly be shown as an action, comedy and crime. This can be shown because when Schmidt and Jenko are dancing about before they go and investigate a possible drug deal and this scene helps us see the action because they start playing with their guns and show them off to the screen to show the audience that this film will include action through using the guns. You can also tell that this film as a comedic feel to it because they are playing around with many deadly weapons and are having fun and don’t seem to care if they shot themselves making the audience laugh along the funny scene. You can also tell that 22 Jump Street is a crime film because of the guns used and the dialogue of “listening for coded messages” gives off that they are police and they are going to be investigating as policemen.
Right at the beginning of the opening. We see a quick montage of the 21 Jump Street and the colour of the font is in red and blue which matches with the colours of policemen showing that the film is about crime. However, within the opening scene, there is no text showed within the screen. The text font is very big and this is done to allow the audience to see what it says and understand what is going to be coming up next. The fact that it has to show the “Previously on 21 Jump Street” shows that there is content from the last film that you would need to know for this film, meaning the audience can now understand the story that happens within 22 Jump Street. The representation of undercover American policemen is being shown as rich and living the life. This is due to the expensive sports car that is shown right at the beginning. Also, the gold guns that the two protagonists have, show that they are a part of a rich police department because they are not black, but they are gold. This can also be shown through the amount of weapons that the two have which are showed off in the montage scene. In the scene when Schmidt and Jenko are dancing around with the guns gives off that the representation of young policemen is shown to be inexperienced and still want to have fun. This is despite the two being involved in a serious drug operation, where lots of gun fights can happen and there is a chance that they could get killed.
22 Jump Street is directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The film was released June 13, 2014 and its genre was a hybrid of action, comedy and crime. I agree with this because there is a lot of action happening with fist fights to gun fights and a lot of jokes being said and done allowing the audience to laugh and they are working for the police trying to capture a criminal meaning it is linked with crime. The certificate it was given was by the BBFC was a 15 rating. This is due to the action that happens throughout the film, whilst a bit of sexual references as well. 22 Jump Street has won 7 awards whilst being nominated for 22 others making it a fairly successful film. The companies that produced 22 Jump Street were LStar Capital, Media Rights Capital, Original Film, The Cannell Studios, Storyville and 75 Year Plan Productions. Columbia Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures. 22 Jump Street made $331.3 million in the box office making the film fairly successful as they only had an $84.5 million budget. 22 Jump Street audiences would have varied from young teens who enjoy comedic films and those who are older but enjoy the adrenaline they get from watching an action film. 22 Jump Street would have had a trailer that would have been shown on TV, at the beginning of films and on websites such as YouTube. They had a film poster that would have been posted all over social media to help gain the film recognition from audiences. The films main stars such as Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum and Ice Cube would also have used their own popular social media accounts to tell their fans about the film and try and persuade them to watch it. In some ways, you can say that their marketing campaign was successful because of the amount of profit the film made, however the film didn’t make as much money as some other blockbusters make nowadays which makes it seem their marketing campaign was not as successful as it could have been.
