A commercial that uses our love and knowledge of sci-fi movies. We immediately recognize a devastating alien army marching to the fateful music in their enormous spaceship. This clip could be used to illustrate genre codes. It could also be used as an example of how easily our eyes can be tricked. Images can be digitally altered, but camera angels, editing and just telling a story in a certain way can be even trickier.
