Rotten Tomatoes Review of Rush

How is Rush packaged?

Rush is packaged in a number of different ways:

Established audience | The film already has an established audience of Formula One fans. This brings these type of people to the cinema to watch the film

Love story | The film uses a love story as an underlying theme attracting American viewers.

Aristocracy Character | The portrayal of James Hunt (an English aristocrat) also draws in the American viewers who see characters like this as stereo-typically English. Other examples of this is their view of Hugh Grant.

Special Effects | The film uses a wide variety of special effects that even Michael Bay would be impressed with. The film uses these effects in scenes like the crash to attract the fans of Formula One as well.

Secret Cinema Research

"Secret cinema is a growing community of all that love cinema, and experiencing the unknown. Secret audience. Secret film. Secret locations. Secret worlds. The time is now to change how we watch films.

Tell No One."

The Secret Cinema is an immersive cinema experience company founded by Fabien Riggall. The company largely focus on making experiences of popular films such as: 

-Back To The Future

-Ghostbusters

-Alien

-Bladerunner

-Prometheus

-The Shawshank Redemption

The company create immersive experiences by making the films interactive. They do this by re-making sets and getting the audience involved in the action. The Back To The Future event allowed attendees to dress up in the style of 2015 Hill Valley (Back To The Future II) ushering in fans from all around the globe.

Despite this, the Secret Cinema has had many criticisms over it's poor organisational skills, often having shows cancelled an hour before the screening. This has in the past lead to national news headlines; most notably the Brazil screening where many people had flew in from other countries and where stuck with no accommodation after the cancellation.

The company aims at adding a mysterious twist to cinema and looks to innovate the way we watch films.

The Seventh Seal, directed by Ingmar Bergman, demonstrates a wide variety of shot types in the scene where the Knight first meets Death.
In class, we discussed the above clip and how the director uses different shots for different effects.








Below is a short Prezi which shows some brief information about the film:

Some of the shots used within the short clip show different things. For example, this still below shows a great use of the over the shoulder camera shot. This shot is generally used when two characters are in dialogue, in this case the Knight and Death.
