Third Movie!

Star Wars is a fantasy / adventure movie series. The fantasy setting of Star Wars is how it’s set in space.Also  how the main characters have laser swords called lightsabers. Some of the fantasy elements of Star Wars include: Storm troopers, droids, and the Wookiee race. The editing, camera angles, and sounds help Star Wars become more fantastical.

Common camera angles in Star Wars are Wide shots. Wide shots display the world of Star Wars and how it’s fantasy elements intrigue the audience. Another common camera shot  used in Star Wars is Establishing Shot. The establishing shots tell us where we are in the Star Wars universe. Places such as the Death Star.

Common Costumes in Star Wars are the Storm Trooper outfits. These outfits are the core fantasy element of Star Wars, clearly defining who is a “bad guy”. Some Actors in Star Wars include  Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill. Harrison Ford plays Han Solo. Han Solo is a smuggler, so Harrison Ford must act like one. He uses tricks to outsmart his enemies. Mark Hamill plays Luke Skywalker. Luke does not appear for very long in Episode 7 of Star Wars, so his role is very minor. Common settings in Star Wars include the interior of the Millenium Falcon, Han Solo’s ship, and Jakku. The planet of Jakku adds to the fantasy elements of Star Wars considering all the strange alien species that reside there. The planet is also entirely a desert, which would be hard to live on in real life.

The movie Star Wars uses lots of editing and sound to portray the fantasy elements. Sounds include things like the laser blasters, and the space ships engines. Common Editing includes the use of CGI for the space action scenes, and the ships exploding. Kylo Ren’s voice modifier is an example of sound using fantasy. He is changing his voice to sound more like Darth Vader, the antagonist of Episodes 3-6.

Parts that we should use in our project are camera angles like close ups. Close ups showcase the costumes that are used with the fantasy element. Some things that we won’t use will be the Costumes, used in Star Wars. This is an original, 2 minute film and Storm troopers are taken.
