884 Words4 Pages

You have worked with Melissa McCarthy a few times now. Was there anything different this time around? I adore Melissa and she is so much fun to work with! She is as funny off-screen as she is on. She is extremely intelligent, knows what she wants and is one of the hardest working people I know and I look up to her and respect her so much! She's a great athlete and does a lot of her own stunts! I really think wire work is her favorite thing ever haha! On the alley sequence she was being yanked up in the air on a wire. She did it a few times and Paul Feig got what he needed so he said moving on, but Melissa was having so much fun she said they needed to do one more just so she could fly again :) The cast is pretty big. Did any of the cast members surprise you in any way? I was surprised by how nice and down to Earth all the actors were. They were all so much fun! Their chemistry was great and we had the best time …show more content…

Why do you believe this is important? I truly feel it is the age of the woman! It is such an exciting time to be a woman! We are getting more and more opportunities to showcase our talents and show what we are capable of. Women are amazing and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us! As you know, The Academy still does not recognize stunt coordinators. Why do you fee they should and this should be changed? Stunt performers risk their lives everyday for films. It is a well calculated risk but a risk nonetheless. Stunts obviously enhance the experience of the viewer so much and they are important to the production value of a film. It blows my mind that the stunt coordinator is still not recognized for their work and I hope the academy comes to their senses and recognizes the professionalism and importance of the stunt coordinator. I mean, they are in charge of the overall safety on a set and obviously, that's

In the movie “A League of Their Own”, one can see how the more sexist views of the culture in the 1940s and 50s in America was present in the Girls Professional Baseball League. “A League of Their Own” is a movie about what was once the “All-American Girls Professional Baseball League” which was formed when the young men were sent over to serve in World War II. One of the most obvious cultural views that this movie shows is the feminizing of the baseball players to make them “more acceptable and women like”. Unlike men’s uniforms, that include a full shirt and pants, they were to wear skirts that were very short, too short to play baseball in comfortably. This alone shows how this league was just as much about show as it was about the women’s talent.

Communication is also crucial in a stunt group in order to fix any stability issues that occur when in a stunt. In order to be a cheerleader, it is necessary to have a loud voice, a strong memory, good timing, flexibility, and excellent communication skills.

Ladies in the West: An Analysis of Women and Conflict in Western Cinema In 1940s to 1950s cinemas, the representation of men with guns is a prominent attribute to expect when watching a Western, however what about women with guns? According to Robert Warshow in his article “Movie Chronicle: The Westerner” he elaborates on the function of the western archetype represents “lonely” and also “melancholy” characteristics but doesn’t speak much about the weapon wielding female counterparts who in movies such as “Red River” and “The Man from Laramie” represent the juxtaposition to the mans “loneliness”.

All judges need to be trained by one organization. Varsity, which is one of the largest vendors in cheerleading, has established a judging protocol for the upcoming year. “Moving into the 2015-2016 competition season, all judges will now need to be a registered member with Varsity All Star” (Varsity All Star n.d.). This will standardize judges in Varsity competitions, but this needs to be enlarged to contain all judges for all competitions using standard rules and scoring guidelines. This would also eliminate competing gyms from having their coached judge against rival gyms which is a common occurrence in today’s
