SOURCES1 Playlist of films I’ve researched
➭Airplane - As my favourite film, I thought it would be a good area to start as far as research into films. It was a top of the charts film at its time, and uses a series of media techniques
➭Star wars - As a franchise that has spanned for decades, it would make sense that the techniques in the film provide as a good area of research based off of the popularity of the movies
➭Ferris buellers day off- After watching feris's day off it is obvious for people that don't know media terminology, that there are several different cuts to different shots
➭Indiana Jones, raiders of the lost ark- Another classic film, but instead based off of mystery and adventure, I thought its would be interesting to explore further into what makes this such a big hit
➭Terminator - Adding to the classics but another sci-fi, I would like to go further into why a sci-fi film such as star wars blows up, but films like the terminator don't get close to the same level of fame
➭Wayne's world- Another classic but not like any others on the list yet, it takes a much more comedic look at two small town radio producers, and what happens when they go big. It appears that it plays on people's wanting for success all while staying comedic for a good laugh
➭Alien- Top horror film of its time, an alien species of the future terrorises the crew of a space ship, using fast cuts and close up shots to portray the fear of the characters, and putting the audience through the same amount of terror
➭Predator- Predator takes a look at what it would be like if humans were hunted like they hunt animals, adding another species to the top of the food chain. The movie uses a lot of ELSs to show how small the group of humans are in the wilderness ( symbolises how small they can be on the food chain)
➭titanic - A classic love story, and although I never enjoyed this movie myself, many did so I thought it was important to look into how shot types can be used to show a relationship in a movie ( shots like 2 person shots and others)
➭avatar- One of the highest earning movies on the planet, but not one of the most liked. It made me question how effective can marketing be in selling your movie to an audience and what role in plays in the media industry, I am excited to go further into it
➭Them- A not so known classic of its time, Them is a movie that is chessy yet somewhat terrifying as massive ants try to take over the planet. While yes it is a chessy movie which always adds to the comedic side of things, the variety of shot types used in the film made it one of the biggest horrors of its time
➭Birdemic - A terrible film, Bad CGI, acting, cuts, advertisement, and much more. It will be interesting to compare this to the better films in the list.

Think about headings, which shouldn't repeat the post title. I think this post is about films you might use for conventions research?
No need to hyperlink all of these, but do make film title stand out (eg upper case, bold, red) - and try to be in the habit of adding (director surname, year of release) after a film title. Titles should also be in Italics (in exam: "" quote marks).
