The image represents a sense of mystery because the use of low key lighting allows to emphasize he characters facial expression to show what emotion will be carried out throughout that particular scene. In addition, the effects of the lighting when to be specific a lighter shade of light is used in the top right angle of the image this allows the director to portray the distance between the man and the woman here and also allows the audience to acknowledge who the main character is and the use of lighting used on the woman in particular shows she is the dominant character within this image/scene.
A Few Good Men (1992)
The lighting used in this extract was specifically used to portray the main characters as heroes by using back lighting to allow the audience to focus on their facial expressions and also a use of key lighting was definitely essential to the audience as a way of acknowledge the seriousness of the film. In addition, the use of low key lighting in a particular scene where the man is being murdered and where the lighting is coming in from the window, this is used to portray the scene as horrific and sad as possible in order to catch the audiences attentions.
Film Noir is used to make crime dramas in the 1940's and 1950's more stylish and it is used to emphasize actors versatile characteristics in movies to connote two different people by using low key black lighting. By the use of low-key black lighting it allows the audience to acknowledge that there is more to the scene or characters that meets the eye. This is used to add a sense of mysteriousness within the film to keep the audience in somewhat in the 'dark' because if the lighting isn't fully clear then there must be something unusual going on. Film noir used in crime dramas are particularly realistic, in the sense because the colour black used in films connote mystery, suspense and shock or possibly danger. Therefore, film noir used in films allows the audience to be focused in the film without any fancy off putting lighting or allow any unnecessary features within the film to distract the audience. Film noir's representation's in a film are specifically used in crime dramas because the effects in where one character has no lighting on a particular part of their body, this immediately portrays to the audience as something mysterious is going to happen and also film noir is sensationally used to truly emphasize the characters facial expressions and this is why film noir was extremely popular in the 40s and 50s because it allowed to grab hold of the audience's attentions and to consistently keep hold of the audiences focus throughout the film because film noir with low key lighting is not giving away a lot of information for the audience to predict what is about to take place and is exellent way to create a good film.
C- The costumes in ‘Deep blue sea’ and ‘Dream Girls’ both represent the genre of the film and the narrative in a way. However, in XxX, there were no costumes used much however, there was a use of hi-tech gadgets, which can appeal to the audience well. In Dream girls, the costumes of a skimpy dress could represent the actors attitude revealed throughout the film. In dreamgirls the hair wigs used represented the costumes and the dress sense of the 60’s.
L- Lighting used in XxX was dark and had different fiery/ hot colours, which could represent Vin DieselJ. In addition, the use of low-key lighting could represent mixed attitudes of the actor (s) in the film. In addition, the use of the bright and fiery colours could connote a fast epic movie, which could bring out the tensions and the build up to the climax could have a high intense finish to the film. In DeepBlueSea, the lighting used is filler light-, which helps to soften any shadows created by other lights and allows the audience to witness the huge shark in the background and acknowledge the genre, which the film consists of.
A-The actors in the films are not as well known but can be a positive affect on the movie because this will allow the audience to become more engaged in the film and become more focused on the performance.
M- The make-up used in each film poster is not well seen however, in XxX, the audience acknowledges the woman alongside him, and by the make-up, this can add to the storyline by portraying Vin Diesel as the hero.
P-the props used in XxX are not seen, as well as is DeepBlueSea and in Dream Girls the props used are microphones, which represent the films narrative and genre of a musical.
S- The settings in XxX are in the city of a busy country. Where evil and danger could be lurking right around the corner. The setting of the movie DeepBlueSea represents the films attributes because the setting was in a isolated area full of sea. The setting of Dream girls was in an uptown place in Las Vegas which is an area where ‘dreams come true’ and a really eye catching busy area.
C-Costumes used in this image is smart, to connote the level of professionalism in the film. By using costumes within a film usually is linked with gangster films to hide their identity and maybe this may be the case in the movie. The suits may have been used to also attract a wider audience of an older age due to the suite, which connotes adulthood and maturity. The glasses as well are a good use of costume because it could also back up the point made about suits and how they could hide your identity. In addition, the use of suits could be projecting that both actors could be linked however due to the same clothing there maybe more than meets the eye.
L-lighting the lighting used in this poster is low key lighting within the background to connote a sense of darkness and perhaps evil in the film being portrayed and also the use of the black background could be used to make the audience address the actors rather than the poster itself. The lighting used also has some light on each of the characters faces and a darker side of the other face and again could be reinforcing the movie's title changing lanes and perhaps the other halves of their faces are shown and the rest has dark lighting could create an effect of when the two characters eventually change and due to the lighting they could be met with difficult and evil challenges that lie ahead.
A-Actorsthe actors in this film are well know actors and are a good way of attracting a wider audience of preferences such as, gangster, comedy, horror, thriller and drama, and an audience of different races. In addition, the actors are of different race and could connote the film poster's title of changing lanes and perhaps the changes in experience of race. The facial expressions connote a sense of seriousness of the tensions that their facial expressions consist of. The direct view of the actors are in a straight view to create a direct approach at the audience and looking as if they are looking towards them which is a way in which the audience canautomatically witness the tensions rising about the films also, the actors that have been on other movies are usually either drama movies or thrillers and this could be a way of attracting a wider audience.
M- Make up- the make up used in this film is very rare to see and perhaps if there was it was maybe to create a simple look and not to attract attention to the actors face or even enhance their features to make the look good and to make them detached and make the audience focus only on their performance as actors.
P- There are no props in the film used in the poster this allows the audience to predict whether the two actors are alongside each other or against each other because the use of props can connote what audience the film is aiming at and maybe the film was to keep it simple and make the audience wonder how the film is going to pan out.
S-The setting of the film is in New York. A film based in a busy city where everybody goes to work which could explain the use of suits in the film poster to show professionalism to everybody but danger underneath and cities are areas which connote darkness and that’s where evil and crime is most likely to be committed, due to the alleyways which shows danger and evil. In addition, the use of cars of each sides of the lane used could again connote a long and dark journey between both actors ‘lanes’.
Target audience:The target audience of the film is to a wide range of audience and aiming towards a mature age. Therefore, the film could be aimed towards ages 15+ -35.
Genre: The genre of the film is drama/thriller which is represented within the film poster, i.e. lighting, facial expressions and also could represent the actors usual genre that they specialize in,Ben Affleck is usually in drama films while Samuel L Jackson is in horror drama and sci-fi.
Type of shot:The type of shot used is medium close up allowing the audience to witness both actors and their facial expressions, and to fit in all the typography used in the film.
Typography:The typography used has a large font to attract the audience and in the style of a lane on the side of a road. This is used to attract the audience and to make to poster eye-catching and link back to the title of ‘changing lanes’ The typography used in grey was eye catching because each word was in an upper case form to really show the films seriousness and the typography used in this matter came across in a threatening way.

YASMIN'S ESSAY
There are many different features of the trailer that makes it a successful trailer. Firstly the sound of the trailer attracts the audience in even more closer than they already are, there is a use of Diegetic and non- Diegetic sound. The use of both of these sounds in the trailer is very successful, as by the audience listening to the diegetic sound it helps them to understand more clearly what is going on in the trailer. Also the dialogue language used in the trailer is referred to as slang, for example: “you think you’re bad yeah… Show me what you got” WWW: Good use of description Good use of Media Language Good Precision EBI: More Deatil
There are many different features of the trailer that makes a succesful trailer, such as lighting,music, editing and camera work. Firstly, the sound of the trailer immediately grabs the attention and the audience recognize's the genre that the trailer is based upon and the audience that the trailer aims to aim at. The use of Diegetic and non- Diegetic sound is used particularly well to be able to consistently grab hold of the audience attention specifically there target audience which they can relate to. Also the dialoguelanguage used in the trailer is referred to as slang, for example: “you think you’re bad yeah… Show me what you got” this again refers specifically to there target audience which again they can relate to.
The title itself 'Face of Fear' connotes the theme of horror violence dramatic scenes. Face of Fear could also connote a character that represents fear. The sound used was different music and wasn't mainstream which sounded like a background theme meaning the events of the trailer could be the actual acts or meaning to the rest of the song. The sound was just a background beat and there was drums and it was building up and the sound of the background music was deep leading to a climax.
The lighting of the trailer and the beginning institution that was used, Warner Bros pictures was dark lighting. The use of the dark clouds were all conventions used to create a frightening climax to the trailer in order to fulfill the titles credentials. The dark clouds connotes dark and intensifying trailer.
The Mise-en-scene used in the trailer was the costumes which where not items in which represent horror such as ripped and blooded clothing it was a casual theme which creates a sense of a pulsating trailer because the attitude and first impressions where normal and this will be able to add to the audiences reactions of seeing everyday normal people to be murdered.
The setting of the trailer was in a backyard and specifically a shed in which one of the characters came out of the shed with an axe.Which was convenient for the genre of the trailer to appear in an area where a possible murder could take place. The actors' expressions were shocked expressions which went well along with the background music which began to speed up and build up the excitements and the tensions. The make-Up used for the main character was black eye-liner used all around the eyes where the character can emphasize his expressions well.
The Editing used in the trailer was cut and fade in and out at a slow pace the camera movements were low and at times zoomed in and out.
The appeal of the film is probably aimed at over 15's- 35 possibly a younger audience due to the age of the characters it is more likely to be aimed at a young audience who find horror films interesting and entertaining.
The Representation of the film is horror and the trailer provided the features of what a horror trailer should establish such as the music the camera angles and the editing.
Overall, I thought the trailer was excellent exceeded expectations of what is needed for a horror trailer. what i particularly liked was the acting skills was excellent especially of the main character the music and the timing went especially well with the acting skills to provide a thrilling horror trailer.
Radio 'You only Live Twice' M sends Bond on a mission which leads to a fatal encounter in a Japanese garden of death. Stars Michael Jayston. ‘M’ is an actual character in the bond movie. ‘Judith Olivia Dench’ <-- an example of what the station reviews.

The links are the genres each of the three broadcasting fiction texts they all have the theme of crime and revenge. The similarity between the texts are spooks and BBC radio 7 'You only live twice'. BBC is the institution that advertises them both on their channels only. The difference is that Quantum of solace is more 'mainstream' meaning that most of the audience are likely to watch pro grammes that have adverts and because of that quantum of solace is more likely to become successful and seen as more 'normal'to viewers. Sony are the institution which funded and promote Quantum of solace meaning that they are able to promote the movie as much as they can and receive more viewers because they are able to afford to.
