In super 8 the locations to the parts of the movie are the places they mostly go like Joe’s bedroom, shops, his friends house, outside at night or day but in these settings have a different feeling to it. Like at Joe’s house its quite, lonely and dull but his friends house is lively with ocular and lots of kids running around screaming and both pedants helping one another out but Joe’s dad is hardly around and it looks lie Joe lives on his own and things like happiness have disappeared since his mother has died.
The setting for Super 8 The movie starts off showing us a factory and them changing the day they had the last accident, so intently you think there has been a death, but from the factory its changes to a boy outside, in snow, on a swing with his dog but looking at his hand where there is a silver pendent in his hand, with the setting you can sense the emotion coming from the boy showing that he is sad so you know something that has happened. The scene changes but into a warm indoor environment with loads of people, but not happy, little boys were talking about the accident that had happened, and a woman looking out feeling sorry for the boy outside (Joe), it goes back to Joe and a yellow car with two black stripes on the bonnet parks up, a man with messy blonde hair walks out and looks at Joe and goes in but not 5 seconds go and you hear shouting and a police officer taking the man back out (Joe’s dad) and shoves him into a police car. FOUR MONTH'S LATER... You could see it was summer and the kids leaving school going to a sweet shop but changes into a room full of lunch with a projector showing a zombie movie and see the to boys talking but when they leave the room and enter the living room you can see loads of little children, running and screaming or beating each other up with inflatable toys, a teenage girl on the phone and conniving her mum to let her go to a party, and two happy pedants helping one another in the kitchen to make food for there kids. The mother, young looking, asks Joe if he wanted to stay for dinner just he rejects and says he is going home. From a lively house full of noise, color and excitement, Joe enters his house the coloring was all dark colored, dead silent with no excitement in sight, it looked like if Joe is lonely with no one to talked to but goes to the bathroom and sees his father on the floor crying. Later you see Joe and his father in a bar eating food and them discussing about summer plans, Joe's father wants Joe to go to a baseball camp and not hang with his friend because he dislikes them but Joe wants to stay and hang with friends and make movies with them. The lighting in this scene is dimmer and you can see Joe's dad can't look Joe in the eyes .You can tell Joe was more of a mothers boy and he dose not get along with his father and his father is the type that can't look after a kid because he can't look after him self, and Joe really wants his mother back because she understands him unlike his father. The first scene in Joe's bedroom you can see he is a neat artistic boy, that does models and has posters like any other typical boy would. One scene you first see Alice in is the part when they go see the train station for there movie, because Alice is young, about 14,she don't have a driving license and don't want Joe to come because he might snitch and she don't want to get into trouble with the police (like his dad). The train station had no lights expect the small lamp and it was pitch dark you could hardly see anything around the station. The location of the train crash the only light you could see was the blaze of the fire and the emotion of the environment was scary dangerous place. |

Make up and costume
The make up for Joe's movie was done by Joe and as a good artist it was easy to make a zombie out of alice and this way this is showing that joe's getting close to alice and shows that he was shy at first and now okay with touching her face putting her make up on.
In there movie they were using clothes from the old times like suits from England clothing and in a dull colours and wearing matching hats and parts to go with it.
The Police, air, Military, uniform was showing they all has different important jobs to do with what is happening like the police uniform was indicating that they are in charge of the people around the town and keep them safe .The military uniform is shoeing that they have to keep things form getting out and they have to clear up the mess that has happened and keep it top secret .The air force showing that they are looking out for something that that the police and the others like the town fokes don't know about.
When Alice crys without make up it makes it look natural and shows on who she really is not another fake actor like she was really into the scene and this made it look real while she was confessing.
Alice's dad had untidy hair and looked really off as he was drinking it was like he had lost him self of what had happened.
Alice scared and messy and looking like she has been kept for a while and has had a long trip down and this look that she has look she has looks like she has no make up on and just looks a little messy this makes it look real.
