Conventions From Real Media Texts

Superman Awakening is a classic film loved by all different age groups. The main reason why i decided to watch this opening is to understand its world wide success and be able to grab inspiration from it. The Establishing Ariel shot of the world is amazing and immediately sends of a message that this film is adventurous, grasping everyone's attention. Its starts off very relaxing and just sets the atmosphere for its audience, clearly showing setting and basis. its as if its argumentatively showing that this perfect area will not be staying safe and friendly for much longer. The asteroids set on fire directly leading to earth becomes very worrying to the viewers and shows clear signs of danger the dramatic irony (audiences knowledge) worries them concluding to them watching it all the way through. This is a very clever narrative hook, giving me ideas to build upon.

  1. I really like it that you've picked up on what effect shots may have on an audience and that you're using terminology like 'establishing Ariel shot' and 'narrative hook' - Well done!
