Individual Spoof task..

I’m aiming not to leave everything to the last minute; part of the narrative project is to create our own ‘Swapping Genres Spoof of a movie along with a poster of your choice. I’ve tried to address everything onto my blog as much as I can in the time given. Time for me to establish the film and type of genre I’m interested in changing, initially thinking about a film which everyone knows first of all, something which has created a huge impact to film industry perhaps and technically a decent film. Godfather into a musical? Using influences from Moulin Rouge? Hmm… decisions decisions, more thought and time is needed here I think.
Researching the genres:

1. ANIMATED (Greatest Films: Animated Films)Film: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
2. FANTASY (Greatest Films:Fantasy Films) Film: The Wizard of Oz (1939)

“Classy: Possessing elegance, the attribute of being tastefully designed, decorated and maintaining refined grace and dignified propriety.”

“Grindhouse (Exploitation film): A type of film that eschews the expense of "quality" productions in favour of making films on-the-cheap, attracting the public by exciting their more prurient interests.”
