LCA Lesson 10


Independence Day: Resurgence/The Silence/War Of The Worlds

1. The main characters tend to be Male

2. All of my chosen films have part(s) in them where they require their families action of safety

3. Independence Day's disaster is, to put it straight, about the alien abduction and capture of earth. The silence is about a species of bat-like human-eating creatures that plague earth, and sense anything that makes sound. War of the Worlds is roughly similar to Independance Day, as it includes the invasion of earth from extraterrestrials.

4. All of them had the main character overcome the problem, but lost several others in the process.

5. Independence Day involves space travel to the main objective of eliminating the invading force, and The Silence involves driving away from the initial source of danger.

6. They all have the 'Close friend sacrifice' involved, where one or more of the main characters is sadly taken away or killed during the process of eliminating danger.


Independence day seems like a very ET invasion looking film, with the colossal ship destroying the city. Looks like it could be futuristic, and remains the very sort of 'alien invasion' look.

Godzilla has a very fictional fantasy look towards it, with the futuristic evolution of top-of-the-chain predators ruling earth popping into your head. Looks very fantasy futuristic.

Contagion gives you the idea of perhaps an apocalyptic pandemic, causing the collapse of the society and earth. This idea can tap into the ideas of what really could happen in real life with some sort of fatal, world overruling virus etc.

 Hacksaw Ridge https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2119532/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 Screenshot 1 The camera shot used in this frame is an Extreme Wide Shot . As you can see, it ranges across the battlefield capturing the explosions and chaos. The sound of this frame was orchestra action music, capturing the awe of the shot. It does suit it, as this shot is rather majestic in a terrifying way. The setting is a war torn piece of land situated near a cliff. The overall colour is a mirky, muddy bare tone of death, with the bright oranges bursting from the explosions.  Screenshot 2 The Camera shot in this frame, yet again is an Extreme Wide Shot . It captures the many men surging up through the battlefield whilst hell is erupting around them. The sound during this frame was a suspenseful eerie increasing-in-pitch noise, indicating a ghastly atmosphere. The setting is a deathly, destroyed stretch of land similar to the last frame. It's also again very mirky and smoky from the soullessness of the...

  LCA- L8 Friday 5th March 2021 Positioning can be extremely important in terms of a scene with multiple people. It can display their status and meaning towards another in the scene, and even the current relationship between them. By displaying your actions correctly in a film, viewers can practically read your mind of your next action towards someone etc. In this scene, the MES tells us that, by the props and wallpaper, this is a scene from a film set around 300 years ago. The elegant, old fashioned chairs, tables and candle holders all have a touch of old wealth to them, and makes it look like this place could be involved with royalty. The guards around the main character can also tell us this man is important- he needs a great level of security and is very recognised. The hair, costume and makeup to the main character also can build his on stage appearance and personality, his looks portraying the man he is and what he does.
