The director, James Cameron, wanted to convey the emotional message of this tragedy. He succeeded in doing this by showing us two vital parts of the history of the titanic. The first is the cruise boat leaving the wharf with the passengers on board, smiling and waving, as they prepare for their journey. This also sets a mood for the audience, which makes us excited for the prospect of a glamorous cruise. The second part is a more serious side, which makes the audience live in suspense as we question how the incident happened. The director created this effect by using dark tones to change the mood. The audience could see by the dive team searching the boat and with the horrific images they could tell this wouldn't be a happy ending.
Good: you have explained how the director has used some film techniques to create two different moods in the opening scene. Now go on to C, where you will choose four techniques and discuss them in more detail. Follow the describe-explain-analyse model on your handout and check my blog for more information. Start by describing each one in a blog post for each, then work on explain & analyse to get Merit/ Excellence. Keep going! Oh, and what are those white things in your background? They are pretty: flowers maybe? Or cat faces? Or just blobs?
ReplyDeleteYou have A LOT more to do! Work quickly to describe four techniques and two examples for each, then look at the handout and my blog for ideas on what to include for explain/ analyse (merit/ excellence). Get moving: don't fall behind!
