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 Deep Blue Sea, 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 Deep Blue Sea 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 Deep Blue Sea 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.
