blog feedback




-WWW: You’ve got some good work on your blog including the most difficult piece of work so far – the practical mise-en-scene recreation. I like the points you make in your learner response and your summary of mise-en-scene. However, there is also some missing work here so we need to use this as a lesson in getting work fully complete.

-EBI: Make sure you check the following and email me when everything is fully up-to-date:

-your film poster task also doesn’t really do what I wanted you to do. The idea was to analyse each poster and suggest what it might be communicating about narrative or audience (even if you don’t suggest the real answer). Getting a summary of each film from the internet basically makes this pointless. Over time, your ability to analyse media texts (particularly unseen texts like these film posters) will be crucial for the 70% exam section of the course.

-LR: Complete the missing/unfinished work and post it to your blog.

-Reflect on your first month of Film & TV Language.

-What aspect of Film & TV language have you most enjoyed studying? 
-I enjoy studying about how to read an image and take meanings from it based on the lighting  

-What is your strongest piece of work so far? 
-My strongest piece of work would be my Mise-En-Scene recreation practical video as i completed it to the best of my abilities and the recreation was nearly accurate.
-What is your weakest?
-The film and tv language: film poster analysis, as I didn't actually give my thought about guessing what the movies may be about, but I have fixed this now.
-What specific skills or knowledge do you need to develop before we start coursework at the end of Year 12?
-I need to start to be more responsible and plan my time out more, so that I have enough time to complete my work instead of leaving it for the last minute

mise en scene analysis

Image
  1) Find a distinctive   still image   and write an analysis of the mise-en-scene. Use each of the aspects you've learned in the lesson. -The windows of his car have bullets holes in them, which may show that bad guys are after him and are trying to kill him. The man in the far right corner with a gun has connotations that he is the bad guy trying to kill the innocent man driving the car. The gold light shining on the man in the car shows him to be the main character and he is a nice man as he is so is the centre of attention. The serious facial expression on his face also promises the audience drama and action. 2) Find  TWO  film or TV extracts on YouTube from different genres (e.g. horror, sci-fi, costume drama).

The British film production context does not have as many clearly defined characteristics. British films can be large budget and high concept. 3) When did the James Bond franchise start? -1960s 4) In terms of film censorship and graphic content, what began to change in British film in the 1970s and 1980s? -In the 1970s, British movies often dealt with censorship, which continued into the 1980s with the banning of "video nasties." In recent decades, the BBFC has worked to connect more with the public by making its guide...
