Review of Super 8

Well, what can I say I went to the cinema with an open mind but three words which officially come to my mind are jumpy,jumbled and fast.

This is a insight of the movie, the plot of the movie was absolutely clear as the main character of the movie joe lamb's mother dies and he isn't connect with his police officer dad in any way and he doesn't know anything about him and summer starts his friend Charles has entered the film festival and he record a film so Charles decides to do a horror movie shot on his super 8mm camera (this is where the film name comes from). At midnight they all gO to shoot the movie where a terrific accident happens which their biology teacher is involved who is a ex air force scientist and reveal it wasn't a accident but scientific experiment to help a creature to go back home while the air force get involved people and metal object disappear to help build its ship and his dad tries to calm the villagers but get thrown into a retreat by the air force captain leader and his enemy's daughter gets eaten and abucted by the alien and then they all get evacuate by the air force and then the children go to look for their friend and then the alien builds back his ship and goes home.

The director is J.J Abrams who has made another sci-fi movie star trek which relates him to like extra terrestrial themes and he has paid homage to Steven Spielberg who is also the producer of this movie and he is the one who added the aspect of children which he has in two of his own movies Goonies and E.T.

The music of the movie was very intense and create the atmosphere to be very jumpy and the explosions where really believable that is one of the aspect of the film I really like.

Overall I would give the film three stars as the air force in the movie ruined it and the alien wasnt realistic and it was really rushed at the ending which J.J Abrams just wanted to end it

Review of two trailers in media awards

Year 12 production:
Engima: 
A young girl get pregnant leading to conflict between mother and many more murders follow
The trailer shows a close up of the girl face to exaggerate the emotion and then the and long shot to show the surroundings with her friends and the dialogue is very clear besides that there is a mid-long shot showing her mum shoving the girl down the stairs to look more dramatic.
Www: There are various shot used
A great narrative structure and shows bits of the narrative
Ebi: if they had less dialogue and more dramatic scenes

Year 13 production:
Music video - I hate love yusra Khaled
She used scenes from her love life as a flashback or a nostalgic memory to show or remember the good old times and it also shows a long shot of her dancing but in a silouette  
Furthermore if there was more close ups shown
