Media practical 2

Today we learnt subjective camera work where we as the audience become the charactor. we watched jaws and the begging is underwater and we can tell exactly when the shark is coming as the music helps us to suggest this ,as it creates tension. At the beggining we never actually see jaws but always know because of the effective music.

We then watched the begging of touch of evil which is presented as one continuous shot throuhgout the whole film.At the beginning we witness a close up of a bomb timer being set and shadows created on the walls. There is then a crane shot up and over.The producer was albert zugsmith which was written by orson wells. the music is also over lapped and diegetic throghout as its played on a radio.

AS Media theory blog;

In our theory lessons we have been looking at the mise -en -scene annalysing everything in the frame. also making decisions at what type of audience the films are aimed at whether being mainstream , niche, demographics and pysco demographics. we have watched a series of clips and also the begginging of moulon rouge looking at the denotation and connotation of the set and location , lighting ,props, costumes and the diegetic sound and non deigetic sound. also learning to identify the genre.

i will be blogging frequently i hope you enjoy them.

Media practical 1

This is my first As media practical blog;

During our AS media lessons we have been vieweing the openings of lost of different types of films commenting on them with the approproiate media langauge we have also been learning further language to develop our media projects. we have looked at many films such as Hot Fuzz , Citizen Kane  and Back to the future looking at the camera angles , and diegetic sound and non diegetic sound.Also how the opening of the film makes us feel about the charactors and the choices the directors have made.

This will help us to think about are opening scences as soon we will be creating our own opening scences. i will be blogging frequently i hope you enjoy them.
