L.O, To explore the use of setting and colour in films

Setting and colour

Setting

1. a director might set a scary ominous setting in an isolated rural house

2. the director would set this because cities are the most action filled and busy places, where as if it was in the country side there would barely be any action as no ones around.

3. A town by the seaside for the romance side and also maybe because there are many comedic things that can happen by the sea, 

Setting and Colour

1. Cities, modern science fiction buildings, safaris.

2. the setting is based in the USA, however it shows bits from all over the world.

3. trying to save the world

4. planes, cars, debris

5. sky is dark but the land is bright because of the explosions and fires.

6. The narrative is that in 2012 the world is hit by life threatening natural disasters of the largest proportion and a man and his family try to stay safe as they work with the government to stop it. .

The tunnel

1. -man, women, family, firemen

2. norway in the mountains 

3. try to save everyone in the tunnel.

4. tanker blew up tunnel

5. blue, black, orange

6. girl goes on coach and it goes through a tunnel and theres a tanker that explodes and her dad tries to save her.

1. Theres a group of friends that live in Nevada in the USA, one night they all escape and all get on their bikes and ride to a secret government place which no one is allowed to go into but there is theory's that there is dodgy stuff going on in there. They find something and accidentally let it out of where it was being kept, that was a big mistake.

2. 90s in nevada

3. The characters would have 90s styled clothes on and the mood of the film will be quite laid back at first and then there will gradually be more disaster.

4. the shots would be tripod shots and the colours would be quite faded but also colourful in parts.

The poster suggests that the film is about a natural disaster, and the tagline tells us a lot about the film by saying "We were warned"  this suggests that the film has someone who tries to warn the people/ government and they didn't listen or believe them. There is an atmosphere in the poster to show it being dark and has fire in it which gives a scary, dangerous atmosphere. This suggests it'll be a disaster movie because the world becomes dark and the fire shows it aswell. 

Homework:  minions started from despicable me and the minion franchise did so well they made multiple films, the director is Kyle Balda. it was produces by illumination and it was distributed by universal. It would have been distributed by being advertised and trailers beng shown.
