Short Enigma

As it was meant to be a short enigma we deiced that it would be a good idea to allow the viewers to let their imagination do the work on what was happening. For starters at the beginning of the short clip Callum(the delivery man) enters the room, not once is it referred to that Callum is a delivery man or who he is. This gives the viewers a motive to question who he is or even create their own story for the character.

Then after finding the box Tom and I take the box to our, so called, lab to see what is inside of it. This enables the audience to make their own story on where is the lab or what is it. As Tom and I open the box we are greeted by a head staring back at us, it is uncertain whether the head is living, dead or false. As viewers see it, they are presented the head with a high angle shot which adds to the creepiness factor.

After seeing the head, Tom and I remark our disgust towards the incident. This gives the viewer an understanding that this is definitely strange for the characters. Tom then asks "who would send this to us?", after this is said the viewers crosscut to Callum behind the door without his disguise smiling at his work as if he had been watching the whole time. 

After seeing all of the events unfold the viewers may question who our Tom and I's characters as like many other things they are a mystery. By the ending of the clip, the viewers would have been given just enough information to create their own story and see things in their own way.

The LEGO Movie poster campaign

The Lego movie's marketing team seem to be very good at their job, judging from what they did with the poster campaign. Each poster seems to highlight a character that would relate to each member of a family. For starters, the parents in a family are most likely to know who Morgan Freeman as he has been acting for over 40 years. Vitruvius' poster would not just be familiar with parents but his character would also be understood by young children, they would most likely see that him having a long white beard is distinguishing him as a wizard.

Wildstyle's poster seems like it would appeal to teenagers as she has an edgy and angst appearance, which groups of teenagers aim for that appearance as well. The voice actor of Wildstyle also appears in the Pitch Perfect series, which would mean that those who enjoyed watching pitch perfect will know who the actor is, thus increasing the chance for them to watch.

Lord Business' poster is more of a character-defining poster than a poster that is meant to relate to the audience. This is because of the way Lord Business is presented, he has an aggressive look on his face and a large amount of red takes up the poster. It is clear that the film producers are wanting us to know that he is the villain. 

Emmit's poster doesn't show that he is the protagonist of the film. The poster shows him screaming, but somehow he still has a blank expression. At the time that the LEGO Movie was published, not many people knew who Chris Pratt was. It seemed that he was at the start of his film acting career because during that year (2014) Chris Pratt only appeared in one other film (Guardians Of The Galaxy).
