These events give the audience a taste of what is to come. In the first poster there are two different types of spaceships flying around and chasing one another. Along with the suspense and the concentration, the ships add excitement knowing that one of the characters could be in one of the ships in distress. In the second poster there is only one type of ship flying around the characters and the Death Star dividing the characters symbolising the effect the Sith has on the characters. The two types of ships in the first poster and the one type of ship in the second poster create different tones. In the first poster the feeling comes across as dangerous and tense but the second posters feeling is somewhat deeper, that the events go deeper into the story. The posters both create different feelings so that audiences can get different perspectives from the
Numerous screenwriters and directors have often dealt in their films with the theme of borders, whether literal and officially recognised, like military ranks or state frontiers, or abstract and metaphorical, like those of morality, justice, race, and gender, along with several others. As a consequence, as John Gibbs points out, one could assemble these movies, especially those taking place on the confines between Mexico and United States, under the label of ‘border films’ (2002: 27); thus contextualising them in a very specific tradition, which includes pictures such as Touch of Evil (Orson Welles 1958) or The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (Tommy Lee Jones 2005). Accordingly, another notable movie belonging to the ‘border film tradition’ is Lone Star: an acclaimed 1996 hybrid of western and mystery film conventions, directed and written by independent filmmaker John Sayles. The picture recounts the story of a murder investigation, which leads the main character, Sheriff Sam

As I said earlier, in all three stories it makes the viewer/ reader feel as if everything is about to go wrong and the situation they are in is so complex it cannot be solved, but at the end everything does fall into place and nothing awful
Both books showcase a suspenseful, dreadful demeanor, hoping to inform the reader of this time's importance and its
In Star Wars IV New Hope you see several things that are like our world. Like how people negotiate business deals with each other. In the video, Han Soto reminds me of a used car salesman. Trying to convince you that this vehicle is a life changer with stories about how great it is. It sounds all good until he tells you the ridiculous price.
` In May of 1977, Star Wars: A New Hope was released with overwhelmingly positive reviews and marking a new era in cinema. The writer and director of the film, George Lucas, decided to expand upon the Star Wars universe in 1999 by making Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, with a story that took place before the original film’s story. This movie was made with advanced equipment and cutting-edge CGI (for 1999), nonetheless, the movie was panned by critics and enraged an entire generation of moviegoers. The answer to why this happened lies in the differences between the two films: use of special effects, construction of characters, and complexity of plot. “A special effect is a tool, a means of telling a story.
The contrast of the two raises alarm and makes the viewer think more about the seriousness of the

Guardians of the Galaxy is a Marvel team super hero film. Nonetheless, it is controversial to the audience whether it fits the sub-genre of a team-up film such as The Avengers. Due to the characters, none of them have their individual movie like Iron Man. However, James Gunn uses points of view and actor’s acting to enhance the intimacy among the characters that makes this movie fits into the team super hero film genre. In addition, Gunn uses makeups to not make any of the roles too standout because they all have unique appearances that balance out on screen.
In the film adaptation of the novel, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, some of the original aspects that make the novel so timeless are not included in the movie. However, due to the vastly different medium that film is and the abstractness of the novel, it makes sense why some things would have to change in order for the story to transfer to the screen successfully. While many die-hard fans of the novel denounce the film version of their beloved story, others celebrate the presence of Adams’ wit in the movie especially through the cartoon representations of the guide entries. First of all, the Hitchhiker’s Guide is pictured much differently in the movie than in the novel.
Throughout my years of watching movies there were plenty that grasped my attention and really left an impact on me when I younger. One of the first movies that I watched was the Star Wars trilogy. The first time I watched this movie I thought how cool the lightsabers were and how angry I was at Darth Vader at the time for killing Obi Wan Kenobi. After watching the original trilogy of The New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi I was super excited to find out that there were more Star Wars movies for me to enjoy. Then, I actually watched them to find out that the three other movies in the series were boring and focused more on the politics of Star Wars instead of all of the stuff that made Star Wars interesting to watch.
