Photography challenge #2

Monday 9th July 2018
LO: To experiment with macro photography

Macro- Extreme close up photography




My favourite photo is the tree with me and katherine blurred in the background. I like this because it gets all detail of the tree and having the 2 people behind blurred out gives the picture more effect.

Mock DIRT

Question 7
For the movie to make a video game links to the film could be they wanted people that enjoyed the film to enjoy the video game. Another reason is to promote the movie by making a video game. Ways to promote is by using adverts, posters etc. Also Mcdonalds advertised the lego movie by putting characters on cups to sell with happy meals.                         

Question 8
Blume and Katz argued that there are many uses and gratification the audiences gain from the media and these make the media successful. Personal identity, social integration, entertainment and surveillance are four types of uses and gratifications.

Video games offer entertainment. The Lego Movie game, like most games, allows the player to enter a frictional world that  means they can escape from their everyday life. It allows players work their way up the levels they can feel the satisfaction of becoming inexpert player.

Question 9
The poster campaign for The Lego Movie follows the genre codes and conventions of film advertising.

The main poster with several cast members contains a tagline- the story of a nobody who saved everybody- that sums up the appeal of them film. in this case, the appeal is that the audience can follow an ordinary hero who is just like them and watch him triumph. This hero is designed to appeal to family audiences in that we can see both in the main posters his character poster that emmet look vulnerable and small and not in control of events- children can identify with this and their parents can too.

All the posters are brightly coloured and well lit to create strong visual images. This fits the conventions of the family animated films and connotes a lightness of touch that will appeal to family audiences
