Action - Suicide Squad Portrayal of violence: Deadshot's punching bag, death threats towards the prison guards and then portrayal of police brutality, Harley Quinn being electrocuted on the bars Males shown as strong and powerful: Deadshot not wearing a top, which means you can see the entirety of his muscles, the shine and sweat shows he has been working out hard, not afraid to mess with people of a higher power (i.e. the prison guards) Female shown in a sexual manner: Harley Quinn is wearing a rather minial amount of clothing, Harley referred to as 'Hotness', Harley licking the prison bars in a seductive manner, "I sleep where I want, when I want, with who I want", "That is just a whole lot of pretty and a whole lot of crazy" Comedy - The Secret Life Of Pets (Due to presumed copyright issues, there is no opening clip to this film I can legally link to (I think a PutLocker link would be rather unacceptable).

Films That Have Influenced Me

Granted, this is probably one of the more well off of the independent film companies due to them being a subsidiary of the Channel 4 TV network, but they are still very much an independant film company. This is also a moving logo, but this isn't animated. It is filmed live using a panning shot and parts of the logo have been strategically placed to create a perspective illusion. This is...
