Introduction We are going to talk about cinema. We will explain and talk about the poster, the trailer, the main characters and a little fragment of the movie “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe”. We chose this film because it is a fantastic film with mythological characters that transport us to our childhood and a fantasy world. We liked too that the movie plays with time because ten years in Narnia in reality are just half and hour.

Information about the film This adventure and fantasy movie is based on a novel with the same name by C.S. Lewis.

Some of the actors who worked in this movie were Georgie Henley as Lucy, William Moseley as Peter, Skandar Keynes as Edmund, Anna Popplewell as Susan, Tilda Swinton as Jadis, Liam Neeson as Aslan, etc. It was directed by Andrew Adamson in 2005.

Synopsis In the movie a little girl called Lucy finds a new world called Narnia in a wardrobe while she and her brothers ​are ​playing hide and seek. In the movie, a witch ​has the control of Narnia, but there is a legend: “Four humans, with Aslan, will fight against the witch and freedom will return to Narnia”.

The theme of the movie is fantasy because we can see minotaurs and centaurs; animals can talk…

In the movie, some ideas are limited by the age of the brothers, for example, Lucy, the little sister, who discovers Narnia, wants to play hide and seek…

Describing the major characters Peter, by Andrea My character is Peter the big brother.

He is tall and he has blue eyes and short brown hair. He wears normal clothes except in the war scenes.

What I learned from that character that you must fight regardless of the situation. In the film this character becomes king. character

has

In my opinion this a

strong

and

determined character.

Lucy, by Óscar I’m going to describe Lucy because I’m in love with her personality, the things that she does and her interest for the unknown (things).

She is in everything, first she is next to a fire, but then she is in the forest… she changes from place to place in a short period of time.

She wears a dress with tights and a jacket. She is the little, curious sister. Through what she says and her acts we learn that she is a believer. She wants to help anyone, she is nice and kind.

In the movie she is so important because she is who discovers Narnia.

Aslan, the lion, by Ainhoa Aslan, the lion. Aslan is the best king and the guardian and saviour of Narnia.

Aslan

is a magical and enigmatic

character but, a friendly, intelligent and adorable character, too. That character is magical and enigmatic because we don’t know his location or why he is the king.

And,

friendly,

intelligent

and

adorable because he is good with the children and he teaches them to find the answer and the trip that they want to take. Aslan is a paternal figure for the characters like Susan or Peter and he was a good mentor.

Jadis, the white witch, by Patricia She is the villain in the movie. She is a woman with white skin and blonde hair and usually wears white clothes. You can know that she is the bad one in the movie only seeing her face, attitude and expressions.

Poster The poster is divided in four parts, similar to a sand clock. At the bottom we can see the witch in her carriage with polar bears. At the top, Aslan, the lion, appears. On the left part, we can see Peter, Susan and Edmund, fighting with a sword and a bow and griffons. Finally, on the right, we can see Lucy next to a lamppost, the witch’s castle, Peter, Susan and Lucy climbing and the witch in the sky.

The poster uses two types of colours: warm and cold. Imagining a diagonal line in the middle of the poster you can see that the cold and warm colours are separated.

Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWKj41HZBzM In the trailer we can see that the children arrived at the professor's house in a carriage, they were bored and decided to play hide and seek. While Lucy searches for a place to hide, she discovers a wardrobe. When she opens it she goes in and discovers a new world with mythological creatures and a king that is a lion. We see the witch with a lot of mythological creatures and the lion tied on the floor. Then we see different war scenes and the lion roaring. Also, we see the movie title and in the background some snowed mountains and finally part of the credits.

Dialogue https://youtu.be/tjZ-sa7wL2Y Two students are in the high school, they are escaping from a murderer. They enter into a classroom and they hide in the wardrobe.

They are hidden and someone enters into the classroom, they are scared and try to be quiet.

Suddenly, someone opens the wardrobe. That person was the teacher. He asks: - What were you all doing in the wardrobe?

- You wouldn't believe us if we told you, sir - say the students.

- Try me - says the teacher.

Suddenly, the teacher shows the knife and says: - Both of you are the next.

The teacher kills the students, now the students are dead in the wardrobe and the teacher leaves the classroom.

Conclusion In this project, we analyzed one of our favourite films. It was so funny because we worked with our friends and we enjoyed the time while doing this project. Now, we know how to analyze a movie and how to do a synopsis and we know the creators of a fantastic film. It was a little bit difficult to introduce the phrases into another dialogue in a different context.
