I conducted my research about the stereo type of many films, subjects, books etc, using the website YouGov Profiles, this provides me with detailed info about my selected option. For Example the average person who likes the book of Eli is male and on average is aged between 40-54 years. How ever some information is irrelevant such as it says there regions, favourite meals and favourite place to shop.

variation in costumes, and there genres

variation in costumes, and there genres:

The variation in costumes is based on there genre, for example 'star wars' storm trooper costumes, this is a good example of sci-fi and futuristic genre as it portrays an advanced galaxy, this helps put across to the audience how advanced the film is and how they are commonly dressed which gives the film a scene of realness if we were based in that time frame. Also the ice white costume looks very futuristic which strengthens its genre category, of sci-fi. Also in sci-fi films they use a green screen so they are able to fully change the environment to fit the location which also in the picture used fully expresses my point as it shows many futuristic buildings and weather. Also to add to the realism in star wars, Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) did wear a bra on set, this was demanded by George Lucas to add a more realistic feel to the movie because he understood that in space during that time period bras would not have been worn.



(the force awakens: Star Wars)

The Post Apocalyptic Genre: 

this genre mainly consists of scruffy worn clothing, for example 'The Book Of Eli'. Eli is seen to wear worn down clothes this is done to portray the effect of there current life, commonly life looks over with so the clothing tries to replicate this. also the barren location used also tries to make life look over with and the end, this adds the effect of world end.

A movement which scans a scene horizontally. The camera is placed on a tripod, which moves on a stationary axis point as the camera is turned, often to follow a moving object which is kept in the middle of the frame

The camera may be placed on a car, plane mainly, but sometimes a shopping trolley(normally by inderpendent film makes in a budget) A dolly shot may be a good way of portraying movement, the journey of a character for instance, or for moving from a long shot to a close-up, gradually focusing the audience on a particular object or character.

Hand Held Shots:

Hand held cameras give a sense of realism, and they can make the audience feel as though they are part of a scene, rather than viewing it from a fixed position. this adds feeling towards the audience

Crane Shots:

Basicallyexcitement , dolly-shots-in-the-air. A crane , is a large is a useful way of moving a camera - it can move up, down, left, right, swooping in on action or moving diagonally out of it, and can give a larger view of the current scene

Zoom Lenses:

this can be done on either a moving or still camera, this means that the photographer can get a 'close up' shot while still being some distance from the subject. A video zoom lens can change the position of the audience, either very quickly or slowly, without moving the camera, this saves a lot of trouble for the film makes, and also adds a increased suspense feel and can add movement and excitement to the scene.

Aerial Shots:

An exciting variation of a crane shot, usually taken from a helicopter. This is often used at the beginning of a film, in order to establish setting and movement, this immediately shows to the audience the setting and the size of the current location.

this camera angle expresses the male is unconscious and is unaware of what is occurring which adds suspense due to him being in a coma, this angle is very closed to his face and adds the clarity of his expressions showing his severer discomfort and confusion because of his eyes slightly open showing he's stunned.

Establishing Shot:
this shot can be used to portray the sheer size of where his current location is or could also be used to show the loneliness of the character or how lost he/she currently is.


 Birds Eye view:

the birs eye view shot it to show the audience the current environment of the location which enables the audience to gain a different prospective of the scenery set up, this can give the viewer a first impression of the scene, and can also show the size of the location.

Point Of View:

this show the prospective of one of the characters or even animals. This shot is good as it places the audience in the position that the character is in so the audience can share his emotions and understand the current situation he/she is in.

 

Low Angle/High Angle:

This camera angle gives a sense of 'speeded motion'. Low angles help give a sense of confusion to the viewer. The background of a low angle shot will normally be just sky or ceiling, the lack of detail in the setting adds to the disorientation of the viewer. The added height of the object may make it look powerful and feared and insecurity to the viewer.

 

 Cutaway Shot:

this camera angle is used to take focus off of the main subject, and could be used to show his surroundings.
