The Tooth Fairy

Film: The Tooth Fairy
Distributor: Fox
Genre: Fantasy Comedy
Release Date: 22nd January 2010
Rating: PG

Fantastic Mr Fox, another 20th Century Fox film, was released in November 2009. The Tooth Fairy was initially scheduled for release in November 2009 but Fox decided to move the release date to January 2010 to avoid competition with Fantastic Mr Fox.

The film stars Dwayne Johnson, previously known as The Rock. Almost all of the films he has previously been involved in are comedies. This means that he has an already established audience of people who have seen films he has done before and like the genre. They know what to expect from this film.

The score for The Tooth Fairy was composed by George S Clinton. This film is a fantasy comedy and in the past, George S Clinton has composed musical scores for fantasies, such as Mortal Kombat, and comedies, such as The Love Guru. This means that the composer was experienced enough in the genre to know what type of music would go well with it.

What UGC have you produced?

UGC stands for user-generated content. This is when normal members of the general public produce the media, usually eMedia such as blogs.

I have produced a blog to post all of my media work on. My blogs address is http://ashakabadehmest1.blogspot.com/. I started my blog in October 2009. I only post my media work on my blog and nothing else.

For my media homework, I had to analyse a film trailer. This would have been difficult to show on paper. However, on my blog, I was able to embed the film trailer from YouTube, another UGC site, onto my blog so people can watch the trailer there.

I also had to analyse magazine front covers. It was very simple for me to just upload the front covers as images onto my blog with the analysis underneath.

Many people now produce UGCs, whether it is on Facebook, YouTube, MySpace or any other site made up by the public. There are many advantages and disadvantages to user-generated content. An advantage of it is that it is very easy to get instant communication with many people around the world. However, it can be seen as a cause for people becoming less and less socially intelligent. People now spend their time communicating with people through social networking sites rather than going out to talk to them in person. UGCs make it very easy for people to communicate but it can be argued that it is now too simple and it is to cause for the dumbing down of generations.
