cinematography analysis

1) Write an analysis of the cinematography in the opening sequence. Highlight your use of media language and try to cover camera shots, angles and movement using the terminology we have learned in lessons. 

-Friends season 3 opening scene Friends - Opening Season 3 (youtube.com) 

-In the beginning of Friends, they use establishing shots to show where the characters are and what they're doing. Medium shots zoom in on each character, so we can see their personalities and how they act in the show.

2) How does the camerawork give the audience clues about the setting, narrative and character?

-In Friends, how the camera is used is really important. Different angles during conversations show which character is more important. When two friends are talking about something crucial, the camera slowly zooms in to let the audience know it's a big deal, making them listen carefully to what's being said.

Secondly, find and analyse one film or TV still image. Add the image to your blogpost. 



3) Analyse the camera shot/angle in the image and what it communicates to the audience. Remember to highlight the media terminology you use.

-The high angle, especially when focused on the face and shoulders, can make Daniel Craig's character appear vulnerable or weak. Also the blood on him may symbolize injury or danger.

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). Embed them in your blogpost and write a comparison of the mise-en-scene in each. -The first clip is a horror film, and the clips the little doll which appears to be a child's toy is actually not a child's toy but instead a violent and aggressive toy, which we kn
