Influential Media - Fantastic 4

This is an influential film to us as these characters get hit by a magical storm and then they get super powers from it. In our film we are doing a similar thing as we have three main characters and they are all out together and they get hit by lightening, which is caused by the magical storm. When our characters get hit by lightening they receive these magical powers. Also in fantastic four there is one guy that miss treats his powers, so he starts to want to become more powerful and then takes his powers for bad use. We are doing something similar to this as well because one of the three friends gets too carried away and then starts to use his powers for bad, so then the other two friends have to team up to defeat there friend.

This is when the magical storm hits:

Camera work:

The camera work in this film shows loads of close ups of the characters faces, so we can see the emotions in their facial expressions. In our film we want to have loads of close ups so the audience can see their reactions when they realise they have powers, we also want the audience to see their emotions they are going through when they discover their powers. Also in this film they use the camera for long shots as well as close ups and they also use a lot of establishing shots, so when we make our film we want a variety of different shots and different types of camera work.

This is a close up, so you can see their facial expressions:

This is also another close up so you can see the facial expressions:

This is another facial expression after she has just realised her powers:

This is also another facial expression that is used; we like how they have use a over shoulder shot and then display his facial expression in the mirror:

In our film we want each character to have their signature pose where they display their powers. In fantastic four they have a similar pose that we would like to use.

This is the signature pose that we would like to use but we want to change the flame into a small lightning bolt:
