 Technology and special effects: Filmed in IMAX technology as it is streaming in IMAX. Diegetic World: 1988 26 years later: CGI created using bluescreen studios and props Mise-en-scene Costume, props, location, proxemics Pride vs Guardians of the Galaxy Pride didn't contain any special effects or visual effects whereas Guardians of the Galaxy is almost entirely VFX and CGI. IMDB stated that the budget of the film was $170M and the film grossed $700M over time. USP of the movie was that it was aired in IMAX, as around 40 mins of the action sequences were shot on IMAX. Masks Groot was created to look soft and rough at the same time. They created and rigged each root on his body individually. The props team created a lifesize version of Groots head on a blue body suit actor to make it easier for the actors. This was a very tedious process as they also had to consider te human factors of Groot. The studio realised that Groot's eyes would be key. "We spent alot of time designin...

 My short film will feature relationships of different sexualities beginning with a heterosexual couple, where the man will argue and become aggressive to his girlfriend as well as his best friend when he is confronted about it. The main character will go on an upward trajectory to have a hero arc story.  During the build up, the man will run away with sirens playing in the background. As the story progresses it is revealed that he is gay and was in love with his best friend for a long time. The man tries to kill himself during the arc.

  Gold Rush was directed by Charlie Chaplin in 1925, which was during the silent era. Camera shots have been used since the beginning of film with different connotations and denotations.  During the snow storm, extreme long shots and establishing shots are used to show the empty mountains, which connotes loneliness. When both The Tramp and Black Larsen get forced into the same cabin by gusts of wind it is instantly made clear that The Tramp fears Black Larsen. Charlie uses high angle and low angle shots when the two share the screen. It is clear that The Tramp is inferior, from his old, torn clothing to each little jagged movement he makes.  The acting style from Charlie creates verisimilitude as the lack of sound means the only way to create a narrative is in the expressions used by each actor.  

Casting     Casting is done in order for a film to be profitable. Actors are specifically cast to meet the requirements of the character they are playing.     Actors have mannerisms or apperances that are likeable.     Some actors have a wide range and play all sorts of characters from different genres.     Expression     Acting style     Expression plays a vital role in creating verisimilitude     Actors communicate meaning to their audience through expression on their face.     In the silent era there was no sound so the narrative was driven by expression.      Dialogue should be another sound that comes out of the mouth of a person, whose eyes tell the story in visual terms     Close ups emphasise and fetishise actor's faces Body codes     Speech     Eye movement/contact     Posture     Direct bod...
