cinematography analysis

1) Write an analysis of the cinematography in the opening sequence.   Highlight  y our 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....

sound analysis

Image
  1) Find a film clip on YouTube that uses sound in an interesting way. Analyse the use of sound, making sure you use the key language we have learned about sound in film: -In Rue's death scene, there's music in the background that only the audience hears (non-diegetic sound) while Katniss picks flowers. This type of sound is used to make scenes sadder or happier. In this case, it makes the audience feel more connected and upset. If there was a happy soundtrack during Rue's death, it wouldn't have the same effect. -When Katniss sings the willow song to Rue, everyone, including the audience, hears the music (diegetic sound). This type of sound is more impactful for the characters in the movie, making the scene more emotional and meaningful. It lets us understand different perspectives in emotional moments, making the acting more powerful.

Sound video feedback and learner response

1) Type up your feedback from your teacher. -You’ve definitely understood parallel and contrapuntal sound – the first section is clearly parallel and the switch is clear at the halfway point. -The issue here is that you haven’t really met the brief which was to combine a collage of images or videos together. This is simply two clips placed next to each other with one soundtrack. It does demonstrate the knowledge but doesn’t contain the effort or editing that the brief suggested. -Meeting the brief is absolutely crucial in your actual coursework so you need to learn from these mini practical projects in order to avoid under performance in the 30% coursework element. 2) Type up your feedback from fellow students - you can summarise key points if several students give you similar feedback. -WWW: -Good use of sound -Good editing skills -Good knowledge of parallel and contrapuntal sound  -It was one minute long  -EBI: -The brief was to put an combine images or videos together, whic...
