Case Study: District 9

The film District 9 has focused on all the elements of how a sci-fi genre would look like concidering their audiance this includes; weapons, spaceship, aliens ect. This is why District 9 is concidered one of the best sci-fi films of the past decades, it realy does target their target audiance and the special effects in this film really does distract you from the fact that it was a low budget film. Our project is based on bits of the story line such as the reporter turning into half an alien, however ours has to be shot completely differently since we dont have a budget or equipent to, also the themes of illness and suppernatural events which we showed when we edit the flashbacks and every 0.2s for 4 times were X-ray effects showing something is happening, also illness is shown in District 9 as the main character sweats and shakes, we used shaking aswell however we showed also how the main character was effected mentally especially the 2nd minute of our project, instead of sweat we focused more on the effects that we used on Imovie which helps to highlight the facial expressions on your maincharacter which the audiance can relate to. Both products use a foreign language aswell as English which is very effective. Our main character is in an unknown forest and is forgein it shows disorder and also very misplaced because he is not ment to be there which we can relate to the aliens in District 9 who in the end just want to go home to where they belong.
