Action and adventure. The characters are on a quest to find the missing gold and there is a lot of fighting.

5) How does the film establish an enigma from the outset? 
At the beginning of the movie it created a feeling of fear. He is running on a plane when at any second he can fall off while there are men chasing him and shooting him. Then is switches to when he was younger with his brother making people feel in awh.

6) What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?

All the angles included in the short film helped emphasize the tension in the scene. When it was switching from the scary part to the flashback they zoomed into the hand and then to the side really fast. Also a long shot to show the whole plane, and many over the shoulder and knee shots.

9/15 the video project questions

 1) what was your inspiration for video? - We wanted a easy topic so we picked a murder story. When I looked at the railing of the second floor it remined me of the scene in Outer Banks when John B gets pushed by Topper and falls off the railing of the tree house to then have his arm broken, so instead of having our character's arm broken, they just died and the murder goes to kill all the other people that find the body. 2) What were the most challenging things about the project? - The most challenging things about making this project was probably the editing and the idea making. We struggled a lot thinking of what the plot should be and how it would all be tied together, something was always off and needed to be solved but it was hard trying to come up with a new scene.

Angles project analysis

  My group (Kyra, Veronika, Nelinka , Diya, and I) worked really well together , we had fun posing for the pictures and we cooperated our ideas together to form a funny story line.

We didn’t have any arguments on how things should of went, my group and I all shared our ideas and cho se which ones made the most sense in our story. We can use our successes to repeat them and maybe eventually make them better ; our group had many successes like, including everyone’s ideas, not leaving anyone out when making the presentation, an...

Magazine (final project) planning questions

  What is the strapline ?   Biggest and baddest concert of all time with Drake , it finna be lit.   What does it suggest about the magazine and the reader?   It suggests that the magazine will be picked up by a reader that enjoys Drake's songs and will give them the idea to go to his concert.    What rhetorical features are evident in the coverline?   The rhetorical feature that is mentioned is pathos because it is relating to the Drake’s emotions of how the concert will be exciti ng and, “lit.” him sayin g that it is going to be fun will give the reader an idea of how fun it will be and gives them the emotion of excitement so they will go to the concert. When they read the cover and see that he is coming to their town, pathos will be there again because it gives them a exciting feeling that he is coming to their town when they are a big fan of him.   What does your Title mean? What does it Suggest?   My title just indicates that ...
