This film is set in a house which has seemed to be haunted for a long time and after something had happened in the past no one has dared to look at this house but this family decided to live in it without knowing the background story of the house and why no one was talking to them after they moved in. This film is in USA/Hollywood I think.

This film is called: Spectre
Genre:

From this 2 minute trailer I can tell that this story line is that there is a male who has to save the world that evil people want to destroy. This is a good vs bad narrative and obviously we would know that the good would always win.

The characters in this film is the main character; James Bond who is the good person who as an intention to save the world a it is his duty to try his best and do whatever it takes to save the world and people. Another character is The evil one who is the total opposite of the good one as this bad character wants to destroy the earth, wants to destroy specific people especially James Bond who is the good character.

This takes place in Hollywood and garages as they need to make it look realistic. This takes place in alleyways as the scene needs to go with the setting.

Camera Work.


 This is the first picture to analyse. This is a Medium Close up I can tell this because all of the characters in the picture its only showing their shoulder and above and the background so the people standing behind them. This is kind of a low angle because it makes them look big and powerful so it makes us realise that these 'bad characters' are after the good hero 'Tum Cruise'. I think they chose to do this shot as the director is trying to make us know that there is so many of them and their is only Tum Cruise so that there is a threat to him as he is only one and there is a group of people after him.



This second picture is a long shot as it is showing Tum Cruise running and it shows us the car and the background also other objects laying around the place and shows buildings, at the background. The long shot allows us to establish his location of what kind of place of he is running through or where he is going to stay. They might have chosen a long shot for this part as it allows lot of action and dramatic scenery to pass through our mind.This is a low angle photograph as the car looks big in it, the car makes it look like Tum Cruise is small and vulnerable and that the car is just there being useless.


This last photograph is a MCU a medium close up. This is a mcu as it is showing Tum Cruise's shoulder and above and it also shows us the background so like I can tell that Tum Cruise is now in some sort of alleyway or some sort of old place where there is a lot of garbage. This is also I think a high angle shot as he is the focus of the shot. Tum Cruise is supposed to be the person to look at to focus on that's why they have used a high angle shot as they want us just to look at Tum Cruise. They also might be wanting to be playing mind games and make us as the audience want us to be curious what he may do.

Summer Holiday Project

The science fiction film that I have chosen is ant-man:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWdKf3MneyI

1)
The sub genre of this science fiction film is to do with super-hero's and to do with special powers like fighting and relevant stuff to power.
A brief summary of this film is that the main character, is forced out of his company and then decide to be a super-hero which is trained by a professional trainer then he has the suits that gives him the power to shrink anywhere at anytime and gives him the ability to do anything while being he size of an ant.
The characters are linked to the film as they are made small which is to do with I think science fiction as it has to do with affects to make them as small as an ant.
The theme is invasion and I think aliens also dystopia.

2)
The production company of this film is Marvel and the director of this film is Peyton Reed.
The main characters of this film are; Paul Rudd, Edgar Wright, Adam Mckay and Joe Cornish.
This film was released recently in July 2015.
The production company is owned by Kevin Feige.
As I said before the production company is Marvel and is very famous and the film that Marvel makes the most is to do with superhero's and a genre like that, one movie as an example they had made is Avengers they have made more I just gave this one as an example.
The film spent  56.4 million dollars to make this film ant-man and they have 58 million dollars.
What rotten tomatoes said about the film ant-man was:
Rating; 6.8/10
Fresh; 190
Rotten; 49
Critics Consensus: Led by a charming performance by Paul Rudd, Ant-man offers Marvel thrills on  an appropriately smaller scale-albeit not as smoothly as its most successful predecessor.

3)
I think the target audience would be 15-35. I also think that it would be 60% male and 40% female I think this because in my point of view I think that males are more into films like this than females because males love the films that have action in it and most girls do not like it they only like calm films with no loud noises, no flashing light, and no fighting and stuff like that.

This was my summer holiday homework on the film ant-man I hoped you enjoyed! :)

Colour palettes

This is me and Sanaa's work from Photoshop! 
This work is from the fruit template which we needed to fill in with colour, so me and Sanaa choose out of the different options on the board of the colour palettes, we chose the winter palette.
As you can see theirs a variety of different shades of blue as in the winter picture their is blue!
A WWW for our fruit template is: That we put pictures behind the fruit bowl to make it more detail and eye catching. We had also used different colours from the chosen picture on the top right.
EBI: to have made it more fascinating by using some pictures on the fruit as we did to the background.
