Alien

1. Who was the director of the film? What other movies has this director produced?


Ridley Scott. The Martian, Blade Runner, Prometheus, and Hannibal.

2 Artistically, what did you like about this film?


First of all, Alien is one of my favorite films! I love the use of color and light throughout the entire movie. There were moments where it went from super bright areas to really dark scenes making it really hard to see the xenomorph. You could tell that they really want to capture the suspense of the alien by doing this. When they got to the unknown planet, the weather and lighting used to make the place look rugged was also really cool. I know that this was made in the 70's but for the time period, the the movement of the baby xenomorph was amazing. Also the animation of the face hugger tail looked realistic.

3. What is the name of Ripley's cat?


Her cat name was Jones (Jonesy).
