Shania Media 2 - Mr Bush

Find a film clip on YouTube that you feel has been edited in a distinctive way and write a 750 word analysis of the clip.  Use as much media language as you can and try and use the key words we've learned for editing and any other aspects of film language you can apply .  The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (play from 3 minutes, 30 seconds) is a perfect example of how important editing is for film; It builds up suspense by having straight cuts ( an editing technique which is used in almost all films. It allows one shot to suddenly end and the next shot to abruptly come onto the screen. It also allows unnecessary footage to be removed or shortened) to the three characters in the films and then the shots then speed up which makes the viewer more engaged. The music helps build up the intensity of the scene, which could not have been added if it were not for editing. The shots start of being quite distant from the character but then begin to get closer, the change from a me

Read the following five star reviews...  Then, for each article, write your own comment in response to each article (minimum of fifty words each) Blade Runner 2049 review – a gigantic spectacle of pure hallucinatory craziness One point that was made throughout was that the film noir aspect wasn’t incorporated as strongly as it was in the original movie; the review stated, “the sequel slightly de-emphasises the first film intimate, downbeat noir qualities in favour of something more gigantic and monolithic”. I agree with this point because the newer version of Blade Runner was much more focused on the vibrant and eye catching colours which all added to the action genre of the movie. We didn’t really see much of film noir, however it fits with the narrative of the film as it is set 30 years ahead of the original movie.  Blade Runner 2049 review – a future classic As I was reading through the comment section, I came across one comment that read "It looks amazing. But it

Discussion points: 1.      Chiron is a character of few words. Why is this?  The reason why Chiron is a character of few words is because he lacks self-confidence and there are many factors which contribute to his lack of confidence; one of them being the constant verbal abuse he gets from his drug-addicted who always have random men around their apartment and spends the little money they have on drugs, leaving Chiron to fend for himself. This must make Chiron feel like he doesn't have a say in his relationship with his mum, since clearly doesn't care for him as much a mother should care for their son. Another factor that may knock his confidence is not having an initial strong male figure in his life (although he meets Juan); this is because his father was never in the picture which indicates he must have left at a young age, which is a stereotypical situation within African culture. One other contributing factor is the verbal and physical abuse he gets from his class

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 . How does the camerawork give the audience clues about the setting, narrative and character? In this opening sequence, there are a variety of camera shots, angles and movement. The first camera movement is a high angle crane shot which allows the producer to present the scene at which the whole series would be taking place; we know this because the name of the TV series is 'Prison break' which shows the events would be taking place at a prison. The two shots after that are a medium close up of a tattoo and someone's face followed by two medium shots of the main protagonists; The use of extreme close ups of an eye and origami are also presented. Close ups are used to draw focus to these shots which could also imply a small part of the narrative. A worms-eye ang

In my video, I used a variety of different camera shots, angles and movements to demonstrate my understanding of cinematography. Throughout the short film, I incorporated shots of people and the scenery (although it was limited on school premise) to present the differing shots (long shot, medium shot etc.), angles (high angle, low angle, worms eye etc.), and camera movements (action shot, panning, tilt etc.).
