DISASTER

Steve McQueen

Typical Storyline• This is a typical storyline for a disaster movie taken from the Day After Tomorrow• As Paleoclimatologist named Jack Hall is in Antarctica, he discovers that a huge ice sheet has sheared off.

But what he does not know is that this event will trigger a massive climate shift that will affect the world population. Meanwhile, his son Sam is with friends in New York to attend an event. There they discover that it has been raining non-stop for the past 3 weeks, and after a series of weather-related disasters begin to occur over the world, everybody realizes the world is entering a new Ice Age and the world population begins trying to evacuate to the warmer climates of the south. Jack makes a daring attempt to rescue his son and his friends who are stuck in New York and who have managed to survive not only a massive wave but also freezing cold temperatures that could possibly kill them.

This is a typical prop for a disaster movie as they show the audience the weather and natural disasters are usually about bad weather

Locations and CostumesThis is a typical location for a disaster movie. They are usually set in big cities and the cities are getting destroyed by some natural element e.g. water or an earthquake.

This is a typical costume for a natural disaster movie as the actor is protecting himself from the element by wrapping himself up in warm clothing.

Lighting Style• The lighting style in disaster movies contrasts depending on what disaster

is actually taking place.

The lighting will be like this in a disaster movie before the disaster actually occurs and before people know that its coming.

This is what the lighting will be like when the disaster hits and when people finally know what is going to happen.

Framing

This is a typical piece of framing used in disaster movies as it is showing the two main characters and the location is in the background as well.

The top 5 disaster movies of all time are1. The Towering Inferno2. Avalanche3. The Poseidon Adventure4. War Of The Worlds5. Earthquake
