Editing video feedback and learner response

1)C omments from teacher: Good opening shot and i think the audio works really well. The major issue is pace and transitions this would be more effective at one minute or so. More pace would add a lot. In terms of transitions, always use straight cuts unless there is a very specific reason to use a wipe / dissolve etc. Table tennis could have been great for match on action and shot reverse shot! Missed opportunity. Framing of shots for conversation not quite right. 2)Feedback from students: WWW: Very well edited transitions used and all shots used. Good over the shoulder shots. Good examples of match on action. Music fit well. 180 degree rule was good.  Successfully used all shots. EBI: Beginning of a few shots had the actor waiting to do the action. Audio cuts in fade it in. Timing of the shots could be improved. The shot of actor looking at camera wasn't shot properly. 3) I believe that in my video i had various shots but had very

Editing: Blog task

For this task I have chosen a scene from 'The good the bad and ugly' as it seems to be a well edited scene that runs for quite a long time and holds many expectations for the audience and fulfils this by building up the scene with various shots and scenes and the sound also contributes towards this. There is definitely a reason that the characters become involved in civil war beyond being able to include a brilliant battle scene. If there is a message to the film i believe it is: How a person acts in war is a true test of how good or bad a person they are. In this version of the west every character is greedy and has shady motives but war highlights their true level of morality. As this scene begins we are shown the three characters who are in middle of a cemetery which is shown twice and the first shots is a medium close up of one of the characters looking around and their position is reestablished. Their bodies are shown with medium close ups with eye line matches with

blade runner 2049 homework

1) Article 1: Blade runner 2049 review - a gigantic spectacle of pure hallucinatory craziness: This film is set thirty years after the original film, the  story depicts a bio engineered human a replicant  blade runner named k, who discovers the remains of a replicant who was once pregnant. He focuses on preventing possible war between replicant and humans, Officer K secretly tasked with finding the child and destroying all evidence related to it.  This Article links with  Baudrillard's theory as this film conveyed hyper reality and stimulation through out the film  as certain scenes were a pure spectacle but also some audiences may have expected more as they could have wanted more  science fiction action. However some audiences may have thought that it was a near perfect movie as it was a sequel that they would have thought wasn't possible. It touches themes from he original with respect, while expending the plot and the world very intelligently. This film does have certain

Cinematography video feedback and learner response

Feedback: WWW: Very scenic and nice location and the music fits in with it. Good use of focus pull. good shots and very accurate.  good use of cinematography. effective way of shots matched well with the setting. the shots were clear. accurate examples of some shots . I enjoyed the music choice and the shots were clarified in the video. opening and establishing shots were amazing the sunset with high low angle works well. EBI: The close up wasn't accurate. check labelling of some shots as the shot of the eye was a extreme close up. Needed few more shots as close up lasted too long. Shorten the shots and add more. use wider range of shots. Camera work was a real issue as it was all shaky and handheld and the type of shots needed steady camerawork. Focus was inconsistent. Titles not always accurate. Learner Response: From this task I learned that instead of doing my shots all handheld should use a tripod for next time to make the shots more steady a

Moonlight trip homework

Discussion points : Chiron is presented in a reluctant way to tell the audience he is a character who is having a hard time and finds it hard to open up because of what is going on with his family this makes the audience want to identify with his character. Furthermore his character is presented in three stages of his life showing how he has coped with everything and the other characters help Chiron by talking to him slowly with very small amounts of speech used but we also later realise that him as black he has later identified with Juan and later recreates his character. He doesn't make eye contact because he is conveyed through his vulnerable and shy character so the audience feels sympathetic towards him. The image created via the setting is very saturated and this makes the image of the city look more intriguing towards the audience as the audience wouldn't expect this type of film to be set in Miami. Also the culture promotes diversity and the reality of what kind of

1)This opening scene uses cinematography in various ways to make the scene interesting for the audience.  This scene begins with showing a establishing shot to the audience to ,let them know the setting and what the weather is like and then we see the characters and we see a boy putting down a boat and it there is a close up shot shown regarding this stating that there must be a narrative behind this. Furthermore we see a side angle shot of the character and mentions to the little boy to be careful and this heightens the drama across this scene. Furthermore as the scene proceeds and we are shown a high angle shot and the boy continuously  running after this boat and a low angle shot as the boat travels through the puddles. There is also medium close up shown as the boy is protecting himself from the carriers whilst running, In addition to the this there further use of close up shots as the boy and the clown are shown and this adds to the narrative as we do not know

sound video feedback and learner response

Feedback from teacher: "Good choice of music and the switch from parallel to contrapuntal is clear- always a good sign that the terminology is understood." "I thought that the very first image was a little ambiguous but after that it was clearer." "Pace of editing and transitions could have been used to make this more effective- perhaps fast pace for beginning, cross dissolves for contrapuntal. " Feedback from students: WWW: "There was clear indication between contrapuntal and parallel music." "The use of the Disney characters contrasted with the music." EBI: "increase the pace" "Good ideas the music went will the images!" "could have used faster shots and range of images, not just princesses or snowboarding." "the audio choice suited the video" "A dramatic effect for the first half did match the video it was effective and left the audience with their imagination to r

media awards blog

My Three favourite films: Click: One of my favourite films that i saw in media awards was click and i found it interesting of how the action the suitcase and everything was built upon that as it was the main element of this film and was highly focused on it. Furthermore the suitcase also acted as the macguffin which made it even more intriguing for the audience. I also liked the use of action within this film as as it built up tension for the audience and the use of sound was also very effective. This film seems to be a art house film and seems to be aimed at teens and adults. The props were used quite effectively in this film there were also various types of shots that were seen as there were long shots and short shots used and the settings were also very different and there were certain types of lighting used such as low key which added to the enigma. There were certain close up shots seen as well which heightened the emotions.This film also had a linear pattern. Ou

Sound video

In this video we have created a sound video which has elements of parallel and contrapuntal as some bits within this video don't match the pictures within it and some do and the music would be very different to also within this video. Furthermore there is also non diagetic sound that it used as a sound track has been aimed to fit in with the video. This will all contribute to how the audience interpret the video and whether they appreciate it or not.

sound analysis: Blog task

Funny Games: 1) The music suggests that the family is quite high class and formal because they are listening to classical music and playing games. 2) The use of music is diagetic and parallel as it goes with the sort of family they are. 3)I think that the narrative will develop as there might be some sort of danger when they reach their destination as the music played towards the ending of the scene seems quite serious. A Clockwork orange: 1)This scene uses classical music which doesn't go with the scene as it is non diagetic and contrapuntal as we are unable to associate it with the scene. 2)The action in this scene is slow so it could be adding to the tension of this particular scene. Time in the west: 1)The sounds within this scene were footsteps, water, fingers clicking, the fly buzzing and the train. 2)The sound bridge was the train as we heard it before we actually saw it which creates a tense atmosphere as we don't know what is going to happen next. Once upo

lighting still image analysis

1)This image portrays elements of high and low key lighting to convey the film noire aspect of the film as from the poster as there are dramatic shadows created around the women as we can only see the left of her face which means top lighting has been used as this signifies the features of her face very clearly. 2)This poster also depicts key lighting as it is at different angles and shows only half of her face and this could mean that she is hidden form something and could add to the film noire element of this film and i would also say that top lighting is used because her features appear more glamorous. 3) The effects created by the image is that it may want to portray the women as hidden and convey the film noire element of this film to make the audience more engaged with it and allow the audience to know the genre of this film. Some audiences may interpret this in different ways as they may emphasis the fact that the lady could be portrayed more seductively rather than hidden a

Mise en scene video assessment

Harkiran: WWW: In this video the make up was professional and it created a dramatic effect for the video which was the key element. EBI: However the improvement for this video could be the dress and a better song could have been chosen but overall i thought it was really good. Jack: WWW: I really like the make up and hair within this video because you could see the change which added to the Mise en scene elements in this video and the lighting and make up c hanged which was really good EBI: I think that within this video there could have been a costume change and a better setting to add to the Mise en scene for the video. Jessica WWW: i really liked the make up which was done in your video as it added to the mise en scene effect within it and the costume change was very well chosen as well. EBI: For improving your video you could have had better lighting and better setting to add to the mise en scene effect within your video for a better atmosphere. My star persona vi

star persona blog task

Star Persona description: In my video i have used Sukhveen's Brother and turned him into Anakin Skywalker and i have used costume in my video to create a better mood for the audience and the lighting adds to the creativity in my video. As Anakin skywalker is more of a sinister character and we have used lighting to portray this in a special way. Within my video we changed the characters place and added movement to create more tension and make it more interesting for the audience. Furthermore in my video we changed the props to see which one fits best to make it more creative and something that would actually intrigue the audience the different colours of lights add to this and the use of make up and setting makes it more realistic. Within this setting we chose the drama room as it would be better for lighting and easier to film in the spotlight.

Mise en scene video comparison

The Boy In this scene from the movie The boy we are shown elements of horror,thriller and action which create the mood of this particular scene. There are elements of Mise en scene within this scene for example the lighting in this scene key as it is mainly dim and dark which adds to the mysterious atmosphere and adds to the sinister scene. Firstly we are bought to this scene with a argument over this surreptitious doll and the movement of the characters are bringing in more tension around this doll as there pace picks up and the character in this scene snatches the doll however before this bit we are taken in a flash of a shot to another character close up sitting in the car which awakens by the quarrel between these two characters inside this could be deliberate movement of the characters to imply that there is tension in this scene so that audience can feel empathy with these characters as the doll is smashed and there is a big shock and close ups within these characters

Still image analysis

From this image we can see a man in front of another man and walking towards the man in front of him the fact that the man's head is close up from the back could be deliberate as it could be adding to the mood and atmosphere of this particular scene and this could adding to the importance to the character in front of him however the scene is also more focused on his head from the back it appears to be more clear this is the signifier in this scene as he is being approached this could be portraying his isolation and we could think that he is about to be interrogated. This scene is full of colour and hard lighting making it appear more sophisticated however there could be more of juxtaposition between the environment and the man that we can only see the back off. As the setting of this image seems desolate and the main focus is on the man himself this could be personifying his personality and adding to the mood making it seem more significant as the characters within this scene a

Poster analysis

The Blade Runner: I think that this film is about a battle between people striving for something and trying to achieve a certain aspiration. I believe that this film is a film noir as from the cover we can see that a women is holding a cigarette which gives us this aspect that it could be from the 1950's. Also the tagline of this film suggests to us that this film must be a classic science fiction narrative and we also see this from the lighting and machinery this film may also include some elements of violence. Scary movie 2:  This movie shows us that it is a classic horror which could mean that this is advertising the classic horror's from the past as the people on the cover are wearing different t-shirts to portray this and the Genre of this film could be a parody of horror. Furthermore the review quote ''Absolutely  Hilarious'' which also gives us the idea that its a comedy related film. The Target audience for this film are adults as it also has a
