Comparing Movie Posters





1. Yes it is.

2. Yes, the main character.

3. It shows the film as very dark using colours like burgundy and black that does in fact reflect the dark tone of the film.

4. It uses a sort of close up image of Patrick Bateman with a knife and the blade reflecting Patrick

face.

5. The slogan is a reference to the character and his personality.

6. There is the usual list of people who made the film.

7. I think it is persuasive because it could really appeal to fans of horror and dark humour (the latter if they know anything about the film or book that it’s based off).


1. 1. Yes

2. 2. Yes they are, the main character and the vampire and the werewolf that are fighting over her through out the film.

3. 3. It’s made to look very dark and about romance where it is half right because the film in fact isn't that dark.

4. 4.The image shows the main three characters with a forest background behind them.

5. 5. There isn’t one.

6. 6. Only the New Line Cinema logo and the title.

7. 7. 7. Because the name The Twilight Saga is on it.

Camera Obscura

Today we tried to do a Camera Obscura. To achieve this we got a Pringle tube, cut around it on the bottom third of it then cut the lid on the bit we cut off and underneath the lid put tissue paper there. Also we put a hole at the bottom of the Pringle tube. then we re attached the rest of the tube on to the top of the tube then we covered it in tin foil. Once it was completed we decided to test them out to see if they worked, unfortunately mine didn't work.

Muybrige's motion workshop



Today we recreated Muybrige's motion studies by setting up four cameras in a row along the room. The reason we did this was to take a picture of a person when they walked by each camera. This would show the different stages in the persons walk.
