Film & TV Language: Mise-en-scene video feedback and learner response

1) Type up your feedback from your teacher in full.

  • "Wow-ambitious, recreation and some excellent moments-expression, movement and (not mise-en-scene) accent and dialogue "
  • "some of the props were great fun but lost a bit of realism (accuracy to the original). Highly entertaining. But one thing to think about for future coursework."
  • "Setting was also a factor to be considered as it looked a little away from the original"

2) Use the feedback you've been given to write your own self-assessment of your video using WWW (What Went Well) and EBI (Even Better If...)

EBI: The audio was quiet, the lighting was a bit off due to the scene being in a dark room, and there were a few prop inconsistencies such as previous props appearing in the background when they shouldn't have.

3) Now reflect on your own work in more detail. How did your planning help clarify and develop your ideas?

I think it helped quite a lot as I am happy with what the outcome was as it was almost the same as the original in terms of camera work and dialogue, we tried to make the scene with the same camera angles

4) Thinking technically, how could you improve your work for future videos? (E.g. filming, editing, etc.)

The sound and lighting would be the main focus as they had to be worked on immensely and obviously, the setting as the original was more of a hospital bedroom setting and the recreation was more based in a domestic bedroom. Another factor would be more scene accurate props.

5) Finally, what have you learned regarding the importance of mise-en-scene in film and television? Write a paragraph to answer this.

Mise-en-scene can make the main difference in a scene or recording, subtle adjustments to mise-en-scene can also make all the difference to the scene. Aspects such as setting have the ability to show emotion or induce emotions into an individual and props are a great visual and contextual tool to have on the scene to further move the plot, mise en scene is not only limited to props but their actors; their actions and expressions.

Film & TV Language: poster analysis

Film poster 1: "Blade runner" Narrative: According to the slogan in the top right it seems that humans have created something that has endangered their entire species and now they must take over again. This may be a dystopian sort of movie where in the future humans are no longer the ones in control. Genre: A ction, thriller Target audience: Young adults/adults  Film poster 2: "Scary Movie 2" Narrative: Based on the denotations it seems that the movie is about people who go to see a movie that is supposedly "scary" but the denotations show that this may be all "fun and games" as the title is called scary movie and the irony of this is that the movie looks more like a comedy. Genre: Comedy, "horror" Target audience: Yong adults/adults Film poster 3: "Uzak" Narrative: The poster denotes a man who lives a lonely life in an isolated village, the establishing shot connotes that he is all alone by himself and he now has to live

Film & TV Language: Sound analysis tasks

  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: Diegetic and non-diegetic sound Parallel and contrapuntal sound Sound bridges Remember to discuss/analyse all the different types of sound present in the clip: Music Dialogue Voiceover Sound effects You also need to  highlight  or put in  bold  any use of media language. Diegetic sounds: The dialogue in the scene is used to talk between the characters, in this case, it is to insult or intimidate them, another main use of the dialogue is the sounds that they make whether it is to convey pain or effort in a punch or swing. These are sounds that can be heard by both characters and the audience which makes the sound  diegetic. The sound effects of being hit with metal bars, punches, guns being loaded, etc. are all heard in this clip to convey an action or someone being hurt in this clip, the impact of these sounds em

Film & TV Language: Sound notes and practical task

Image
1) Choose a  60 second piece of music   - it can be a film score or a song, it is up to you. 2) Using editing software (Windows Moviemaker is fine but Adobe Premiere is available on Media PCs or at home if you are able to use it) produce a one-minute montage of images and video. Half the images need to be parallel to the music and half need to be contrapuntal. Think carefully about how you can best select images and video to have a significant impact on the audience. 3 ) Upload the finished video to YouTube and embed it in your own blog with a brief description of what you've created. Note: due to videos occasionally being blocked on copyright grounds, please also save the exported video file (e.g. MP4) into your student folder on the M: Media Shared drive. 4) Present your video to the class next week, explaining the thinking behind your work.
