Buried alive at comic con


On the website for "Buried" there is a link called "Get buried at Comic Con". This is where fans of the film have had the chance to act like they too are buried alive. The viewer of the website can navigate with the mouse to "find" missing people who are trapped in coffins. You are then able to click on a person if you wish and "observe" them inside. This segment on the website is particularly clever as it gets fans involved, and there are many links to facebook and and twitter etc, thus using many forms of convergence. The design of it gives the impression that these people are buried deeper and deeper into the ground. This film and website will be very usefeul for our project as it involves very similar concepts. The lighting in the "coffins" is very significant. They have used redish lighting to convey a sense of heat and urgency. We can also look at some of these clips for acting references.
