My favourite film is 'The Dark Knight'
This is my favourite film because I have always been a fan of the batman comics and games so I was very excited to hear about a modern batman with my favourite character, the joker in the film. Heath ledger was a very well known and magnificent actor, so finding out he was playing the joker made it certain he would do an amazing job. This film is packed with good actors (e.g Morgan freeman), classic characters (e.g scarecrow)  and new gadgets including a new bat-suit. This dark knight is an amazing film thanks to dc comics and Warner brothers joining forces.
This film contains action with outstanding CGI effects, there is also romance along with tragedy within the film. Heath ledgers accidental suicide was a huge loss, he won many awards for his extraordinary performance in the dark knight, I find it respectful and positive to watch Heath ledger acting in the film because it is allowing us to see him live on through his acting and films.the quotes that can be pulled from the film make it even more enjoyable to watch  because they are so powerful and thought provoking. I think this film can change your view on the batman and his purpose. I also enjoy how different camera angles are use to show powerful and weak characters. They use an oblique angle to show that the joker is unbalanced and evil, which is interesting. There are a verity of different shots used as well, for example when Bruce Wayne and Harvey dent first meet they use a medium shot as the camera cuts to each character to show who is talking and what the other characters response is. I think it all contributes to the story to make an amazing film. my love for this film has made me buy merchandise and look into some more films with the same directors. The dark knight was very hyped about due to the decisions  made about what to release and at what time would be most beneficial. One of their very successful campaign was when they made up there own newspaper, it was posted on line or could be brought as a hard copy, they made fans earn what they wanted to see. They also sent fans on an enjoyable scavenger hunt to unlock a teaser trailer and image of the joker. Burger King teamed up with the dark knight adding a burger called the dark whopper, showing everyone that the film was going to be a big success. This all added to the excitement towards the film, it also makes it more enjoyable and dramatic to watch.
