Black Panther


 Mainstream Film - Black Panther

Black Panther is defined as a mainstream movie since it is also part of the Marvel franchise which is the leading superhero, escapist universe for film. However this film incorporates an element from independent film by using a less known of actor as the star of the movie. “Black Panther” pushes the Marvel Cinematic Universe into exciting new territory — specifically the vibranium-rich African nation of Wakanda, whose existence was first hinted at way back in ”Iron Man 2,” but which it hasn't spent extensive time in until now. The budget for Black Panther was 200M USD this was used to pay for Chadwick Boseman's role in the film earning approx 2M USD.
The genres that the movie covers is a action, superhero, adventure style film as expected from marvel studios but would be classed as
niche.

The surface of the video is a light playful setting created by the kids building blocks and the fact that dizzee comes out of a jack in a box. There is a story created of a classic lower-class urban area all on top of this woman piano as dizzee raps his lyrics. Puppets are introduced which are stealing a tv and then fighting the police this compared to a usual grime video doesn't not present itself to be as threatening and seems almost childish because of the light representation this could both be dizzee poking fun at grime culture and bringing awareness to the upper class.  As we look deeper into the video we realise that all the puppets have strings attached to them in this old white woman's home who is presented as a normal human size. the stri...
