Film 8 review

Review
JJ Abrams gets together with his idol Steven Spielberg and makes a film that is part homage, part franchise. It's an affectionate tribute to Spielberg classics such as Close Encounters and ET, but it is also itself, as the poster announces, a Steven Spielberg movie: Spielberg produces. So it's part homage, part franchise operation. Super 8 is like a comic horror film which is about a group of kids in a small industrial town in Ohio in 1979, who are obsessed teenagers planning to make a zombie horror picture with a Super 8 camera to enter a statewide competition. One of the teens Joe the special makeup expert, has been left to be raised by his father, the local deputy sheriff to the lose of his mother. Him and his school mates plus his high school crush decide to go filming after midnight , they take the car to a rail line. The confident Charlie is about to make his directorial debut with the help of his four companions and a pretty 15-year-old classmate, Alice , from the wrong side of the tracks, recruited to play the romantic lead. This movie-within-the movie concerns a horde of the undead roaming the countryside. Charlie and his crew are engaged in a night shoot beside a  railway line and – to gain the film's "production values" . This includes the passing train while the crush Alice and the other actor do their acting scenes. What follows after is film's most greatest rail accidents to be shown on screen; this happens by the students science teacher directly crashing into the train. The explosion caused definitively had Steven Spielberg written all over it , he produced Transformers: revenge of the fallen which had the same mind blowing explosions in there. It was a special air force train and the teacher was seeking to wreck it because there was something vital aboard, UFO , alien. With the train being wrecked; which indeed meant a beast was released into this small town. People already found it shocking such huge explosion happened near their town. The community descends into chaos as the soldiers crack down. Strange abductions occur. An evacuation is ordered. Rumor spreads that it's all the work of the Soviet Union. Joe's policeman dad attempts to retain order while at the same time investigating and having doubts about the the air force and what there motives in the city are.After Alice gets taken by the alien the group of kids decide to go after her , to try safe her. Joe finds a tunnel where he believes the UFO to be keeping all the lost properties and this is where Alice was being kept. They distract it with fireworks which lead them to safe it , after the alien chases them to a dead end. Joe talks to the alien with sympathy about how it should leave to it's planet , the Extra-Terrestrial understood him and spares all their life's. This is a homage to E.T as the Elliot had a great connection with ET which allowed them to be great friends. 


The film has an great suspension throughout the movie as the alien is not shown but it's corruption that it does throughout the city is displayed. This makes all the viewers wonder how and what kind of creature would be doing these kind of things. It's also comic while at the same time a little scary which is great for teenagers and young adults to watch as they can watch it confidently. Some parts will have them jumping but most scenes are intriguing to watch. 

Still image lighting analysis 



Smallville : Kissing scene 


In this kissing scene there is high key lighting to fully show the lovers passion towards each other when kissing; also the room is bright with white light shinning over them. This could represent that their love is pure and there's no problems or trouble involved. There's also top lighting being shined on them, this shows that the spotlight is on both of them and that this moment is a special moment of the episode. The misc en scene creates a casual love between those two; as they look like two casual people who work at the same place who have falling for each other.

At the start of the scene Terredo confront a mysterious which he knows is the car which was used to kill his girlfriend. So there was low key lighting used when the camera was shot towards the car to create that mystery behind the car. Also he approaches the car face to face , with very low key lighting , where only the shapes of the car and man can be seen. This represents that terredo has angre and rare inside him and that the car is the key to solve his revenge.Then there's a shot with his emotion, which the viewers want to see so there a top lighting which shows the whole of his face.
