Soul and Straight Outta Compton
Soul and Straight Outta Compton are two movies that are very interesting with black actors in the movies as the main actors and portraying their experience in America in different ways. The two movies are very good and very well acted and therefore present different views and way of viewing African Americans and black Americans in the film industry and what they are capable of doing unlike the common belief or faith that there is less representation of black individuals in most movies. These movies are trying to show that blacks can be good and perform the same and even better than whites in most instances. They also try to create a balance between the movies presented in the market full of whites and very little black representation or not one at all. Therefore this paper discusses soul the 2020 film and straight outta Compton and gives views on why they are important movies to watch.
Soul
‘Soul’, which is a 2020 film is a comedy and drama film which presents Joe Gardner, who is a middle school teacher and a pianist living in new york. The movie is directed by Pete Docter and produced by Pixar studios. It is a Walt Disney pictures movie as it is the one that releases it. Gardener tries to reunite his soul with his body after a separation happens by mistake. This happens before he becomes a publicly known jazz musician. It is the first Pixar movie to feature a protagonist who is African-American. Docter was inspired by the concept of determinism and his ideas on the originality of human personalities in the creation of this movie. The film also employs great jazz musicians’ inputs like Terri Lyne Carrington and Herbie Hancock. On the 11th of July of 2020 was when this movie premiered at the London film festival. However, due to covid-19 restrictions, its theatrical release was not possible and therefore even though not theatrically presented to the world it has still gained a lot of widespread watching and popularity. The reviews of its quality are high as well as the critics available for the movie. It has also got many different awards which include the academy awards, Golden Globe Awards, Critics’ Choice Awards, and BAFTA Awards.
Plot of soul
Joe gardener lives in New York City and He is a music teacher in middle school. He has very many ambitions of playing jazz professionally. Due to his financial situation and for the sake of ensuring his financial stability his mother suggests to him to make his teaching job a full-time job. He gets a word about h auditions of Dorothea Williams and goes to attend and him being liked he is picked to be part of the performers that same night. Joe finds himself as a soul heading to the ‘great beyond’ only to realize that he is headed to ‘great before’. The great before is whereby the elders prepare babies to be born. The souls have badges that allow them into the earth and each of the badges is filled with personalities. At this point, Joe is confused about a mentor and therefore his badge is given as train 22. This is a badge of a person who has lived so long in the past and tries to avoid society.
There is a search for a spark to complete the badge however it is not found. After this failure, the two i.e. Joe and the badge enter into the ‘the zone’. This is a place whereby souls enter in case they experience euphoric trance. This place also acts as a trap for those souls who are obsessed and are also lost. When he returns to earth and the souls enter into the therapy cat and Joe himself. 22 gets into the body of Joe and settles. She also has a conversation with Connie, who tries to leave the school band team. However, he changes his mind immediately he performs the trombone solo very excellently. Dez also accepts Joe’s passion for music. At the same time, terry is an obsessive observer and observes the souls which go to the beyond and realizes that Joe is not available and therefore he goes back to eh earth to get him and therefore by doing this he hopes to restore the count.
When Joe is taken to the before the badge is filled however Joe states that it is because of his traits and not that he had found his spark. However, there is an argument between jerry and Joe and therefore Joe uses the badge to return on earth. Once on earth, he realizes that his activities with 22 gave him the spark needed and therefore would live without the spark. The movie ends with Joe accepting the offer of terry and returning to earth to live in his body.
This movie therefore can be said to have a soul. This is because it deals with a lot of things to do with souls and the major concern of the writer is therefore about souls, their purpose in our lives, how we interact with them and what are they. Therefore even though it is unable to understand souls completely due to their complexity this is termed as very enlightened and heightened curiosity about souls and what it means to have a soul. Therefore it is an inquiry into the areas of human life which have been difficult to deal with. The movie is also filled with emotion. Therefore it is an important movie to watch as it is thrilling to see how the soul plays an important role in the human person and if one is highly interested in this part of human life then it turns out that this movie is a booster of the curiosity.
Straight outta Compton
Straight Outta Compton is a movie that can be said to be about the common activities and things mainly seen in movies. This is because it deals with drug dealing, violence, and crime, and police harassment. However, these are not just depictions but rather the presentations of the issues and activities black Americans have to go through because of the so many stereotypes which dominate the ‘white world’ about black people. In America, despite the movie story, black people are still seen as criminals and therefore this movie is the realization of these activities and acts as a voice that calls to the outside to hear the cry of the African Americans and black Americans towards the systemic racism and white superiority which keeps on getting bigger every time the people of color try to seek justice.
Plot
Eazy-E is a drug dealer and he deals with varied types of drugs. Kelly Park is a gang member while Dr. Dre is a DJ. Ice cube is a young rapper. He raps so much about the injustices that the African American fraternity faces daily that while Dr. Dre convinces easy-e to fund his music work for production. Ice cubes music is rejected by the New York music group however his group encourages him to still sing it and make sure that the truth is brought to the open. For this purpose, they form Niggaz Wit Attitudes. When they are recording straight outta Compton they are harassed by the police in a very ruthless manner. This makes the ice cube sing the song which he calls ‘fuck the police. This brings a lot of problems and makes it not possible for peace to be found as the police feel that they are being insulted. The press calls this gangsta rap due to its profanity and use of language. The FBI with time gets in and informs the group to stop performing the music as it does encourage violence against the enforcement of the law.
The movie ends with Dr. Dre opening his record label called Aftermath Entertainment. Therefore this movie provides a lot of information to do with the experiences of the African Americans and what it means for them to live in this society whereby there is a lot of lack of peace due to racism presented to them by the whites. This movie employs a lot of music to express the ideas, the wishes, and the experiences of black folks, and therefore even though their music is termed as dirty there is a justifiable reason as to why people like ice-cube produce such kind of music.
In conclusion, these two movies even though completely different they have got a lot of significance when it comes to representation of the black folk in the music industry and the film industry. Straight outta Compton is a movie that has its focus on the reality of things and the challenges which the African Americans face. However, the soul movie is a more different one with it dealing with a soul and how this becomes a very difficult part of the lifestyle of the protagonist. However, the two of them have black characters which are very important.

IntroductionWhen it comes to creating a digital marketing plan a considerable amount of time and effort is required for it to be a success. There are various techniques which can be used to achieve this.one of the best ways to do this is by using the SOSTAC analysis. The paper will be on the analysis for the commercial opportunity presented by the website for Sheringham town. This will be done using the SOSTAC analysis. The SOSTAC analysis entails six basic elements namely; Situation analysis, Objectives, Strategy, Tactics, Action and Control.
Situation analysisBefore embarking on a decision on where one wants to go they must first establish and fully understand where they are. A common barrier to success when it comes to marketing is the facts that people fail to understand where they are and who else is with them. The situation analysis aspect of SOSTAC enables business people to understand this aspect and ensure that they market it first. Internet marketing has now become the most used form of marketing. Therefore the fact that Sheringham has a website up and running is a clear indication that they are at par with their competitors who are also using the internet as a form of marketing. The internet is visited by so many people who vary in terms of age, tastes and preferences and so on. Sheringham website has tried as much as possible to embrace the large audience by ensuring that they appeal to a variety of age groups. The target market is large ranging from business, family, leisure, conferences, honeymooners and many more. A distinct competitive advantage with the website is the fact that it is properly organized with options that give details to exactly what one wants and where they will find it when they visit the town. There is also a download option where visitors to the site can download leaflets of where they can shop, stay, eat or go. These leaflets are useful when one is planning a visit to the town as they will have a guide to work on even before they reach their destination.
ObjectivesThe objective of using any marketing tool is attracting new customers so as to expand the market for the business. The marketing objective for putting up the website is developing the business through attracting new customers. The marketing communication objectives are to ensure that the information in the website a large audience. First of all the website is easily found on the internet hence a large number of people can get and view it. The website is quite presentable hence appealing for new viewers to continue reading what it entails. The website is quite interactive since there are contacts where anyone can reach them through so as to get any clarification they want. The website delivers all the appropriate information that anyone who is visiting the website for the first time needs. This is advantageous since potential clients will get all the information they require to make informed decisions.
StrategyThere is so much information that can be given through a website regarding the specific business one is marketing. On this website there is information about places to go, where one can shop, how they can get there and so on. Any commercial shop, place to visit or places to sleep strive to ensure that they get a position on such a website. This is because those who will be visiting this town will need places to sleep shop and visit. These shops would want to buy a position on the website since they know people who view the website are more likely to see their shops as opposed to if they created their own separate website. This website has information of some of the diverse shops in Sheringham. There is a link titled where to shop and if it is clicked gives details on the shops that are located in the town. There should also be some pictures or logo of the shop so that the viewers can identify with the shop once they see it. This is seen on the link on the website as there are some pictures of the shops as well as some logos.
TacticsTactics include the actual ideas being put to action. These include campaigns that will be implemented such as social media campaigns, website optimization, newsletter and so on. The website gives a free screensaver for a person’s PC. This is a good way of ensuring that the customers are going to be retained as the screensaver will be a constant remainder of the town. This is also a good way of attracting new customers who might see the screen saver on the PCs of people they know and become curious and search the website on their own. Social media is a powerful tool that many marketers are now using to generate traffic to websites. There should be an option to share the website on social media sites like Facebook so as people can be able to share the link to the website to their family and friends. There should also be a twitter template created so that people can get to share information about the website easily through their twitter handles. The newsletters that are released throughout the year for the town should ensure that they mention or talk about the website at least tow times per year. This will increase the knowledge people have on the website and hence more and more people will get to visit the website. They should also include a sign up or subscribe option. Those who sign up or subscribe should be offered some discounts whenever they visit the town so that they can be retained as constant visitors to the place. The website should include thoughtful user interface such as chat options. This will enable the clients to chat easily and directly to those involved so that they can get any clarification they want.
ActionThe action plan involves who is going to do what, when will it be done and resources allocated for the actions to be carried out. This involves ensuring that the website is well created, perfectly done and using minimal resources as possible.it also includes the most likely people who will sell on the website.it will also ensure that as many people visit the website as possible during the first year it is created and years to come. All this can be achieved through adding social media links so as to get as many people visiting the site as possible. Including professionally done images of shops, places to visit in the town on the website so as the viewers can get a clear look at what is in store for them. Sign up icons should be made available on the website for existing customers. The text on the website should be well structured and attractive so as to make many people to want to read the contents on the website.
ControlA control is necessary so as to do an action performance measurement according to the objectives that have been set. This should include the evaluation of the number of people who visit the website whether new or existing clients. The commercial visibility of the website should also be examined. This involves looking at the amount of profit the website has brought and is continuing to bring since its inception.it is also important to ensure that people who visit the website visit it again and again. This can be monitored through the sign up option so as to establish those who visit the website on a regular basis.it should also be established how many people actually visit the town as a result of the website. This can be achieved through ensuring that those who got information of the town from the website and end up visiting are registered online.
