1) The story is about the adventure of the underwater cave diving team, exploring and experienced a life threatening crisis in the underwater cave.
ReplyDelete2) There will be some characters fall to death during the adventure and one survives throughout this mission.
3) Josh McGuire, Carl Hurley, Victoria, Frank.
4) They are one of the underwater cave diving adventurers who teamed up together in the mission to explore the wonders of the inaccessible cave system.
5) Josh-17 year old boy who is full of life, ready to explore the underwater diving mission
Frank-Master diver, Josh's dad, he established a forward base camp inside the cave.
Carl-An expedition bank-roller, easily distressed over things, for example Victoria's death in the movie, causes him to be overreacted and blames all the fault to Frank.
Victoria-Carl's girlfriend, inexperienced in diving, love to explore new things.
6) The relationships between the character and scene was to connect how their character was affected by whatever obstacles happened during their adventure.
7) Inside the underwater cave.
8) To show the significance of the destination and the enclosure of the cave.
9) It gives out the meaning of mysterious and adventurous for the story.
10) It relates to the story as it was about the adventure of underwater cave diving team, exploring the particular cave system.
11) The props they used were the diving outfits and tools, hence it's related to the story.
12) Nope.
13) Most of the equipments used were for diving purposes, not much particular props were shown in the movie.
14) There was a scene that I would love to share about, where Josh was sadden over his father, Frank's suffering and death which was almost the ending of the story, some of the film features were applied. For example, sounds used was rather in a sadder tone. The acting of Josh and Frank was realistic and it was shown by how Josh was sad about what happened to Frank. His expressions and actions clearly shows how his mood in that circumstances. Props that Josh and Frank wear shows that they were the underwater divers in the story. The camera works good as it portraits the distances and the angle accurately, such as when Josh stood at the right direction in the scene and was shot by the camera in a long distance, when there's a cut scene, it shows Josh in a medium close-up but the position still remains at the right corner. This is one of the good camera technique used. As for the colour used, pale yellow and dark background colour effects were used when Josh lost Frank, it gives the atmosphere of gloominess and the sadness of losing love ones.
1.Unaware that a fierce storm has developed topside, it is discovered that communications with the surface have broken down. the storm causes a portion of the cave system collapse, trapping the remaining divers below. With the water level quickly rising, the group must now attempt to find an exit route through the unexplored depths of the cave, in the hopes of finding a path that leads to the sea.

14. one of the most amusing stuff in this movie was the music and sound effects, at all we can mention that this movie had the most strong soundtracks and musics behind which attract the audience and force him to seat on his chair and continue watching the movie. the sound and its effects can bring some kind of other environments to the movie. just mute this movie after a while you will be bored by watching the screen things and you won't continue watching it. like the movie directed by micheal bay (Transformers 3) as you can see the sound effects was the most important part of the movie, if there won't be any sound or suitable soundtrack for this movie no one will go to cinema and watch it, even for an entertainment purposes.

8. Because it's a story about a adventure in a underwater cave, and this kind of environment can give audience a great visual experience through 3D technology.
9. This background can make the story very lively, make audience feel how gaint and mysterious the nature is.
10. The story is happend in an underwater cave. So this particular location give a stage to show this story. And those things happend in this particular background can be better to show the characters of each person.
11. Most of the props used in this film are tools used for diving. These are necessary for this kind of diving adventure.
12. I think one of the props of particular significance is the Josh's necklace that his father Frank made for him.
13. The necklace is a small light that helps Josh escape from the cave, and this necklace also shows that Frank is very experienced and love Josh deeply.
14. Something such as at the end of this film, Josh use the necklace to light the way out and his father's voice is at his ears.
The flashlight is out of power and all the fluorescence sticks are used out.
