The New Karate Kid Movie

July 12th, 2010 8:23 am

The New Karate Kid movie was a great and entertaining movie. It was different than the old one, but it was unique and very entertaining. This one was just as meaningful. Jackie Chan took Pat Morita’s place as the mentor to the younger kid who needs to learn a form of martial arts.


The first Karate Kid was based in America and around Karate. The new one is based in China and the teacher is Jackie Chan who teaces Jaden Smith Kung Fu. Just as the first movie is plotted, Jaden is experiencing trouble with the kids at school. They dont like him and pick on him. The kids all know kung fu and beat up Jaden because he is different and likes a girl that is one of the bullies friends.

Jackie Chan succeeds in teaching Jaden Kung Fu so he is able to fight in a tournament against the other kids. The other kids have a master that teaches them to have no mercy and to punish their enemy. He does not teach morality and kindness to the kids. This makes them confused at while real Kung Fu is about. Jackie Chan teaches that all of life is Kung Fu and that its in everything we do.

In the end, Jaden prevails in the kung fu tournament and wins against the other kids. They all show their respect for him and his teacher at the end. The movie is a great watch. It is a bit longer than the other ones, but its good overall. I recommend going to see this at the theater, or buying it when it comes out on DVD. Its a great one to add to your collection. If you don’t have the old ones, you can wait and buy them all together to save some money on the set.

Film Production Services

June 16th, 2010 9:39 am

The art of making films requires a complicated process. In order to achieve some of the effects in film, technical know-how is a must. Access to props and instruments is needed, and buying these will needlessly inflate a film budget. It is impossible for one person to do it alone. This is where film production services play a big role. Hiring the services of such companies will make your project a lot easier. These companies offer a wide range of services needed for a film project.

The reason why film production services have become a necessary staple in the film making industry is because of the nature of the job. There are five major stages in a film project. These are:

The development stage; where the script will be worked on, the ideas and concepts threshed out, the story adapted to the medium of film, and a distributor found.

Pre production; where location shoots are conducted, a crew and cast hired, and many more aspects of film making are prepared.

Production; this entails the actual shoot with all its attendant production details.

Post production; the editing, sound mixing, and other such processes are made, in order to make a final product.

Distribution; sales and distribution is the last phase of the process. The finished product is circulated to an audience. There is usually a distribution company with a worldwide reach who adopts a film for release.

All of these stages in the film making process require the services of different individuals with quite diverse skills. The movie industry has solved this dilemma quite nicely by hiring out. As a result there are now specialized companies who offer the needed services. A film outfit is then saved a ton of trouble and expense.

The worldwide popularity of film making and movies has made this a profitable business. Aside from casting fees for actors, there are big budgets spent on the pre-production, production, and post production phases. An exception is for a certain way of making movies called indie film making. In this case, a movie is made on a very low budget. Sometimes, digital processes are employed instead of the more traditional methods of film. Although this cuts the budget considerably, some film production services might still be needed. These are in the processes of digital editing and the entire gamut of digital abilities and expertise in the technological age of film making.
