12. The differences between Fish Tank and a big Hollywood blockbuster film in one the quality of the Camera movements and Camera shots. As Hollywood film’s have more money to budget their films they can spend a lot of money on special effects such as car’s crashing and explosions whereas film’s like Fish tank can’t afford that hence during the film they used steadicam a lot (hand held camera). Hollywood film’s can afford well known, famous actors and actresses however as we’ve seen in Fish Tank they’re all unknown people.

13.  The Fish Tank Trailer is one of the reasons I was looking forward to watching it, the producers used lots of short shots and when it came to the violent parts they made them seem really dramatic using special effects. Also, they use sound really effectively throughout the trailer they use calm innocent music then when it comes to the violent and the doors slamming they over exaggerate the slam. Then you have all the words “All around her”, “Life came rushing in” all this makes the audience feel sorry for her and want to find out exactly what happens

14.  The trailer Balances the plot and spectacle because the way it’s filmed and the sound all is really fast, it happens so fast. The violent parts is over exaggerated which is shown in the film when she kidnaps the girl and throws her in the water, it’s over exaggerated.  The sound also,  sounds innocent then goes loud and fast which shows her life. You feel sorry for her but then you kind of dislike her when she pushes the people that care away and she’s being rude without any reason.

15.  15  classification mean no one under 15 is allowed to watch the film in cinema and 15 and under aren’t allowed to rent or buy the film. 15 classification has a outline of what’s allowed such as Language words like “Fuck” and “Cunt” are allowed and violence is allowed but not too serious that it leads to pain or injury. Also, Drugs are allowed to be shown however the film must not show drug misuse. Now, 18 is more lenient the nudity and language is more explicit.
