Come Fly With Me & Big, Bigger, Biggest

Semiotic

  First, <Come Fly With Me> has many humorous characters, fun and light music, woman narrater with kind voice, and it is in omnibus-formet. So it can appeal to every viewer (all ages) easily. Also this drama shows characters' individual stories repeatedly, so it makes people feel a sense of closeness and develops a bond of sympathy. But <Big, Bigger, Biggest> is completely different from <Come Fly With Me>. It uses strong back ground music from beginning to end so it rases tentions, man narrator with serious voice, and all the people who appear this clip are man such as an architect. So these things mean this documentary is made for man.

Narrative

   Come fly with me (C.F.W.T) is a mockumentary film (fiction) about people who work at the airport. Pilot, Owner of airline, Chief Immigration Officer, Manager of the airport's coffee shop, Executive passenger, Crews, Check-in staff, Airport's in-house paparazzi ... These people make each episode. And their individual interview comes out regulary. It makes people understand the situation much easier. Also, C.F.W.T focuses on characters' individual stories. Big, Bigger, Biggest (B.B.B) is  a documentary film (non-fiction). It provides airport's information to the audience . Some people who are working for the airport come out and tell us about history of airport, incidents, structure, floating population and so on. It is quiet objective and there's no personal epidsode. But these two have something in common. Both of them have a same topic, airport! All events are happened at the airport. And the narrator, a third party, explains every situation.

Ideology

 

   

   I think the ideology of these flms is capitalism. Capitalism is an economic and political system in which property, business, and industry are owned by private individuals and not by the state. (reference : http://durl.me/9r6vb) According to the book named  <A Week At The Airport> by Alain de Botton, author said airport is the best place to show global capitalism. Approach-Departures-Airside-Arrivals, these 4 steps in the airport are miniature of the world, and these are mixed with emotion and capital. People from all over the world are in the airport and exchange ticket to money. So <Come fly with me> and <Big, Bigger, Biggest> which have stories about the airport show us capitalism.

Genre

    <Big, Bigger, Biggest> is a documentary flim which shows real events or provides information about a particular subject. It contains information and it is objective. Narrative's subjective views don't exist. However, <Come Fly With me> is a mocumentary film and it is a fake documentary, which means fictitous clip. And it can be classified as a comedy because every scene is absolutely hilarious! Also, this film humorously depicts the taboo subject such as a homosexual.

Globalization

   Airport, background of <Come fly with me> and <Big, Bigger, Biggest>, is a symbol of globalization. People who have different hair, skin, races are gathering in the airport. In this short clip, a woman from Liberia comes out and scuffles with chief immigaration officer. He thinks her passport is fake because nation named Liberia, the country where she comes from, doesn't exist. But  actually, there's Liberia on the map. Anyway, Airport is the place that all kinds of people gather even Liberian!  So I think globalization of this clip is Airport.
