1) Provide a description of the film. Discuss the plot and characters and how they influenced the film. Was the plot line or character development more important? Why?
2) Think critically about how the film was shot, directed, use of lighting, etc. What do you think was effective in the making of the film? What took away or could have been done differently to enhance the film?
3) What is you overall opinion of the film? Would you recommend it? Why/why not?
The Spinal Tap was a mocumentary about an EU rock band who goes around touring the U.S. Two members in the band were childhood friends and there is a rift that grows between them which causes the band some difficulties. The plot line was more important than the character development because the characters only added a little bit of humor but the story line was what drove the movie forward. This film was shot very similarly to how Russell, Alex and I want to shoot our mocumentary by using interviews and footage of the people practicing or performing. The characters acted very serious but them taking everything seriously made the movie more funny. The film could have had a little better quality but it is not the fault of the creators of the movie because it is fairly dated. The film was pretty good, especially for a mocumentary. The comedy that takes place throughout the movie definitely kept me interested in what was going on and I would recommend this movie to anyone who appreciates mocumentaries and is fine with semi-crude humor.
