The poster for the film is driven through the narrative itself; relating to the british audience and not the star power due to the cast not as well known as other films but up and coming actors.

The Trailer focuses around the plot of the story having the main charcters being a massive seeling point due to the well known cast voices.The Poster is extremely character driven having the characters and their voices due to the star power playing a massive part hence having a large budget to fund this. This is because of the iconic voices and therefore being a selling point for the older target audience compared to the lego itself and action scenes being a main selling point for the primary audience of children.

Presentation

Presentation

Evalutation

When putting forward my presenation I made sure that I was able to refer back to my presentation in order to learn from my mistakes and make sure that the information I have for the case studies are detailed and precise for the exam.

I have looked back on the video of myself presenting and feel there are many places for improvement as well as strong parts of my presentation. For each case study I focused o nthe three factors of Production, Distribution and Exibition.

When looking back on my presentation I feel that when presenting, I was not confident which reflecting in my formal presenting skills. This was due to not speaking clearly with a projected voice. In contrast I felt that a strong point to my presentation was the key vocab that was needed to be included to make sure that my point was clearly being presented and explained correctly.

Moreover, I felt that the powerpoint itself was simplistic and easy to understand yet lacking in some areas of information such as financing and CGI. Due to this comment I feel that to make my cases stronger when answering a question in the exam I will change my American Film to The Lego Movie which is full of CGI and has great finacing.

Presentation

This is my presentation, that I have used when presenting my two case studies that I will use during the exam.

MOCK EXAM

Within the clip the representation of ethinicity is highlighted, having the difference between the charcters highlighted due to their backgrounds, having the white British upper class with more power and superiority compared to those who work within the hotel and are illegal imigrants. The clip highlights the stereo typical veiws that society holds on imigrants as well as highlighting that the societies come together a microcosm.

Firstly, mise en scene is used within the clip, having the camera shot behind a cage highlighting that the imigrants are being portrayed as prisoners and trapped within their own jobs and countries due to being in the country unlawfully. Linking with this there are many shots that of the keys, and locks reinforceing the idea that these people are trapped within their own communities. In addition, the camera angle of extreme close up is used when focusing on the key entering the lock which highlights that these parts of the clip are keys moments and so having a point which can chnage the story line.

Furthermore, with t he use of dialogue it is presented to the reader that many people are prejduce and therefore believe that imigrants are not as intelligent and so having a close up on the females face when the cleaner highlights he 'wasnt always acleaner' having a high medical back ground. When informing the workers that the police has arrived the camera angle is tilted downwards having the hotel staff underneath the white british people in the lobby metaphorically speaking they are of a lower class compared to them.

MOreover the camera movement is hand held and so giving the action a sense of reality due to the fast, distorted movements at eye line highlighting that the veiwer feels part of the action and the tension within the situation is portrayed strongly for the imigrants. Within this scene the camera constantly has a quick cut to the characters facing highlighting the panic in there faces and vioces.
