Research tasks Images 1)  Billboard poster research: 1. What historical moment in pop music does this documentary focus on, and why might that moment be significant for audiences interested in music history?  The 80's, seeing as prominent figures like Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen are featured on the poster. This might be the most significant era of music as lots of iconic creators were created and were famous in this era, and in general the 80's vibe is quite nostalgic and iconic to audiences. 2. How might the poster imagery communicate the era of the music being explored (e.g., 1980s)? The poster communicates this with the artists featured and how they're featured. The style the artists are drawn in is very reminiscent of the 80's, with the bright colourful imagery and the distinct, almost blocky appearance. 3. Who would be the target audience for this documentary and why? The target audience would be either music fans in general or people nostalgic for the 80...

Clueless is a great comfort movie that you can reliably put on and enjoy. The movie, while seeming quite generic and "by the books" compared to the rest of the genre, subverts audience expectations and isn't as predictable as one would think. For example, I thought the main character was your run of the mill entitled teenager, similar to that of "Mean Girls"; however I was surprised with what happened in the movie regarding the character and her actions - not everything was entirely different to other movies of the genre but it tries to do something different every so often with its characters and I respect that and enjoy the film for that reason. Additionally, the shots of the city and houses looked stunning and only helped to convey the vibe even more. In short, Clueless is an enjoyable coming of age film that initially seems very generic at first, but is anything but; and is quite a good film for that reason. The narrative is quite simple and easy to follow f...

Conclave was an emotional roller-coaster throughout its runtime. The narrative of the film had roped me in and kept me on the edge of my seat; I was excited to see what would happen next and how things would turn out. Not to mention the amazing cinematography and soundtrack, which only complimented the rest of the film. The non-diegetic sound helped set the mood while the cinematography/camera work visualised the fear, danger and suspense of it all, taking the tense atmosphere and blasting it to the audience. The characters were quite likeable as well; we as the audience root for Lawrence as we find out more about his motives and as he finds out more about the underlying secrets behind the Cardinals at the conclave. At times I felt sad, other times I felt adrenaline. All in all, Conclave is a great and enjoyable film that uses multiple elements  to create an experience that was an excellent addition to the political thriller genre.
