Cloverfield Speech

Is Cloverfield postmodern, of course it is, it’s so post modern that it optimises postmodern. Its target audience is the YouTube audience, how are you going to get them out of the computer chair into the cinema without using new and modern techniques. I know lets use a handy cam that will surely get them into the cinema. Cloverfield is better than most of the rubbish on YouTube. But it borrows from the You Tube rubbish by not giving enough information, having someone run with the camera, hearing conversations between all the characters. Not being a finished shinny set o shoes but instead being a pair of shoes covered in mud. Ultimately Cloverfield is good at being a piece of crap which the You Tube audience enjoy.
This is a film that, prompts change, change is occurring in today’s world and Cloverfield is the first to notify the change and others will follow.
Cloverfield is the first to exploit genre as it questions the unwritten rules that are followed by every director and any film maker. For example Cloverfield uses characters which we as an audience think are fictional but they can easily be found on, the You Tube generation socialising web sites such as Facebook. Events like this make the film post modern as you can see the actors on screen and talk to them on Facebook, giving the film a false sense of realism and ultimately elaborating on illusion that is created from Cloverfield.
