Propaganda Film Assignment

Video Progress Report

So far in my video assignment I haven't had much progress, except for a concept of an idea. What I thought about doing was a parody of a song, but the song is undetermined. I may end up having another idea that would end up better for me, but that is also undecided. So in conclusion, all I have about the video is a planning sheet with an idea that is still unprecedented to me. But in the near future I will have an idea, and hopefully make a nice project off of it. An idea that I did have which is SUPER original...(not really)... is a parody of the the Kesha song, but I don't think i will be rolling with that idea at all mainly because it doesn't interest me that much, and it was just the only thing i could think about since the song was stuck in my head non stop for some unholy reason, and every time I looked at the story board paper I thought about that song. It's a vicious cycle that I'd prefer to not happen. But my video will include music, that is also undecided since I don't have an actual video made, let alone an idea... But I hope that in the end I do complete this assignment.

Alternate Ending

The movie I am reviewing is Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Now the ending to this movie leaves off with Captain America and The Black Widow seeing the new Avengers, and Captain America gets abruptly cut off while saying "Avengers Assemble" by the ending credits. This would be an explicit ending since the conflict is resolved and Ultron is gone forever. BUT... In the after credit scene it shows Thanos who is one of the strongest beings in the universe grabbing the Infinity Gauntlet and saying "Fine, I'll do it myself" implying that he will get all of the Infinity Stones on his own. This would end up being a twist ending.

An alternate ending to the normal ending (not including the after credit scene) I would show Ultron being in a body that the Avengers left behind whilst fighting him awaken and begin to rebuild more bodies so his rebellion may rise once again. This would end up being a twist ending, and would change everyone in the film since Ultron so heavily impacted the entire world by almost destroying everything and causing global extinction.

Political Correctness

Is there a place for political correctness in contemporary filmmaking?

I do think that there is a place for political correctness in fimmakingm, but under some circumstances. Some of it is good for comedic reasons, take the Princess' Bride for example, Andre the Giant was abnormally large and they used that for his character in the movie. Also the man with the speech impediment was used for a comedic reason.
