3. Explain two ways in which the supplementary material links to your focus text trough the common theme of non-conformity. Students must identify the similarities and explain the link, making reference to both texts.
1. The purpose of this short movie is actually, to advertise a car. Although this is true, the movie also includes the theme of non-conformity in its story line. By advertising this single car, the composer (Tony Scott) undertook an idea that was to put a commercial, into a short movie. This idea of the composer was interesting and surely captured the intended audience who are people who most likely have the internet, but also fascinated in cars such as this one; the BMW Z4 roadster.
2. In the movie, different techniques were used. Such techniques included camera angles and music that was played during random scenes.
The camera angles used in the movie were common ones such as close-ups and long shots. Using these two camera angles, it produced amazing effects that captured the audience's attention. In one scene, the devil is seen as an ordinary person, in another scene, a long shot then a close-up shot showed the devils true self-image that then conveyed him as the real devil. This scene is during the street race where the devil put half of his body outside of the cars sunroof. This scene was to illustrate that the theme in the movie was true, that people actually conformed to the devil. .
Another feature that the movie had was music. The time and how the music was composed acted upon the movies dramatic scenes. Scenes such as the devil about to lose, they draw upon a theatrical song where the antagonist of the movie is about to either die, or lose.
