Super 8 J.J. Abrams loves marketing ploys. The man behind the  Cloverfield   campaign worked similar magic for his own film,  Super 8 , which forced audiences to decode its trailers in order to lead them to a website. Once on the website, a fake computer terminal opens, and if you press Y a certain number of times, you could unlock something else related to the film or its universe. There was also an  interactive trailer  for  Super 8  buried inside  Portal 2.  Cloverfield During the runup to the film’s 2008 release, the film’s marketing campaign teased moviegoers with cryptic information regarding the movie without ever betraying any details about the plot itself.

 What have i done today? Today we have worked as a team to create numerous scenes, such as we constructed an interview scene, a horror scene and a podcast style shot. The interview scene was made up of 2 people acting as the interviewer and the person being interviewer, we used 3 lights to light this scene, a backlight, a fill light and a fill light. We set up the camera to capture an over the shoulder shot which captured both the interviewer and the person being interviewed.    For the horror scene we simply used only one light this time, it was the backlight. We try to only light the background for this scene, we lowered the light to make it a soft light. This still included 2 people one acting as the interviewer and the other getting interviewed.
