Of movie reviews first before heading to the cinema or buying a DVD course, everybody loves a good movie and people want to get worth their moneyexercises Below is a sample evaluation of a local romantic movie. Read and not down the content and elements of the evaluation. Then, answer the that followNot Your Typical Love Story:A Critical Evaluation of Star Cinema's "Starting Over Again"Margaret Laureen Lumabas"How do I 'unlove' you?" This is one of the most important questions in the movie "Starting Over Again," a Filipino romantic comedy directed by the renowned Olivia Lamasan. The movie, produced by Star Cinema, was re leased on February 12, 2014, and grossed a total of PHP 573 million from both domestic and international ticket sales.The movie, starring Piolo Pascual as Marco Villanueva III and Toni Gonzaga as Ginny Gonzales, is about two exes, who meet again after going through a tough breakup, one with a lot of unanswered questions. Ginny sees this as their second chance, but the problem is that Marco already has a new girlfriend, Patty, portrayed by Iza Calzado. So it becomes a question of should they start over with their relationship, or should they learn to 'unlove' one another altogether. The movie became sensational as many viewers would note because although it is not award-winning, the movie showcases a realis- tic and unpredictable plot, appropriate lighting and camera work, and believ- able acting performances.PlotPlot pertains to the unfolding of events in the story and viewers nowa- days look for a realistic and unpredictable plot. Although there were a few obviously staged scenes, the overall plot remained realistic and unpredictable because it showed the real-life struggles in a relationship. For example, in the movie. Ginny chose to pursue her own dreams and leave Marco behind. When she returned, she went after the man she loves, Marco, even though he has already moved on. Another reality present in the movie is the existence of a third party in a relationship. These issues resonated with the audience, making the movie more true to life. Additionally, the movie had a non-line- ar story progression, through the use of flashbacks. These flashbacks told what happened to Ginny and Marco's relationship, and why they broke u This technique proved to be effective in making the story unpredictable, and up. keeping the audience curious as to what is going to happen nextto the camera, the more the audience identifies with him/her. This was probably the reason why whenever the camera is on Ginny or Marco, it is more e close-up, rather than how the camera captures Patty, which is, most of the time, through another screen. The effect of this was less sympathy toward Patty, and a higher level of identification for Ginny. Furthermore, some camera angles would be at the eye-level of Ginny, like the time she would see Marco again after four and during the proposal scene. This allowed the audience to see the events taking place from Ginny's perspective. years,ActingActing refers to the technical performance of the main cast in a film or series. The main actors were able to portray relatable characters, although there were some scenes with overly dramatic performances. Based on the book "An Actor's Craft" by David Krasner (2012), inferior acting leaves one bored and uninspired, while quality acting "compels you to watch and listen," and this is what the cast did in the serious, dramatic, and confrontational scenes. An example of this was during the breakup scene, where Piolo Pascual held the audience's attention when he was begging for Toni Gonzaga to stay in the Philippines.00:08 AMFurthermore, Naremore (1988), in his book "Acting in the Cinema" says "the actual work for people who appear in movies or television seems to in- volve a compromise between 'obviousness' and 'doing nothing." This is why the acting in the movie can be described as natural, wherein the lines that the actors were saying seemed to be their own, and the emotions they were show- casing seemed genuine to their characters. Additionally, Ms. Salvador from PEP wrote that "the pair's contribution to the film is split right down the middle-Piolo makes viewers swoon, while Toni makes them laugh with her crazy antics." However, in the beginning of the movie, Toni Gonzaga's per- formance was a bit over dramatic, especially when she was shouting her love for "Sir Marco" everywhere. Her facial expressions in the beginning, when she was crying over Marco choosing to "marry" Ms. Lala in the booth during school fair instead of her, and when she was not chosen for the role of Mama Mary, felt unnatural.Lastly, Gedduld (2014) says that a good actor must be vulnerable. In the movie, the actors were able to expose the vulnerability of the characters, both literally and figuratively. Literally, the facial expressions of the actors really showed the emotions of the characters, even if it meant not looking their best. Figuratively, the actors showed the ugly side of the characters they were portraying. For example, Toni Gonzaga showed how her character could do things looked down on by society, such as being a third partyAlthough some movie critics think that the movie offered nothing new, its attempt to veer away from the typical romantic movie formula is note worthy. The typical ending that most people expect from a Filipino romantic- comedy is a happy one, where the boy and the girl end up together. However, in this movie, the writers decided to deviate from the expected, and gave the audience a different kind of "happy ending," one where Marco and Ginny did not get back together, but instead got the closure they both needed to start over again.Despite these strengths, there are still points for improvement, in terms of the movie's plot and story line. First, the accident of Patty and Gin- ny, wherein the scaffold fell on top of them both, proved to be anticlimactic. The scene, which looked obviously staged, halted the intense emotions the characters were projecting during the confrontation they had beforehand. Additionally, a character is expected to have a single motive line. Here, Marco was originally a history professor, and then he turned into a chef. The transi- tion from an academic life to a culinary one was not convincingly established in the plot, which becomes a flaw because Ginny apparently left Marco for Spain because she thought he was not growing and fulfilling his dreams. That part of the plot remains questionable.CinematographyThis criterion looks into the quality of camera work, angles, and light- ing. The movie used appropriate lighting that emphasized the different times and moods of each scene, but utilized basic and typical camera work to pre sent perspective. The movie's cinematography was generally naturalistic, but stylized in the flashback scenes. Moreover, common in romantic comedies is the use of flat lighting, wherein there is a slow fall-off, or a gradual change from light to shadows, and that technique was also used in the movie. In the flashback scenes, the images were more yellow or orange in tone, which helped the audience distinguish between the past and the present.The movie also used different intensities and color tones in the light- ing to dramatize the emotions in the scenes. An example would be the scene where Ginny confronts Marco as to why he would not approve her project proposal. To accompany Marco's coldness toward Ginny, the lighting was a dull grey overcast. Another example is when Marco was begging Ginny to stay, where there was a stark contrast between the dark background and the orange light illuminating Piolo Pascual's face.00:08 AMThe movie also used directional lighting, which focused the audience's attention on an important aspect in the scene. This helped highlight the relevance of, for example, the e-mail that Marco was writing or that Ginny was reading. The lighting of the altar, which was the brightest part of the scene, against the dark night, also showcased its significance. This was where Marco proposed and Ginny turned him down.The movie's rating is generally positive considering the plot, cinema tography, and acting. It stood out because of its attempt to deviate from the typical plot and fairytale eruling Accompanied by realistic acting and appro priate cinematography, the movie proved to be a loss office success and the fact that it was received positively by the Filipino audience could speak about the possibility that the audience could be more open to more fearless and literary story lines in the Philippine movie industry in the future.Exercise 3Read and answer the questions below on a separate paper.1.
