Film & TV Language: Editing video feedback and learner response

1) Type up your feedback/comments from your teacher.
-"Very good cinematography and very good framing"
-"You've met the brief really impressively, particularly considering isolation/lack of crew. Although there are no OTS your framing for the conversation works perfectly and follows the 180 degree rule"
-"Flashback slightly clunky and shooting at the end loses the continuity but obviously a clear reason for that"
2) Type up your feedback from fellow students.
-Well timed match on action 
-Good narrative
-Nice 180 degree rule
-Good editing
-Good use of flashbacks in beginning

-flash back in near the end was "clunky"
-audio picks up lot of things
-Music was a bit loud some times

3) Now reflect on your video. Did you meet the brief and successfully include the three key editing aspects we have learned?
I think that I did somewhat meet the brief however I did not fully meet it as I could not film any over the shoulder shots during the time of filming.


4) What were the strengths and weaknesses of your final film? Write a detailed analysis picking out specific shots, edits and any other aspect of film language you think is relevant.
I think my editing was the best parts of my previous videos apart from this one, I also think my cinematography is pretty good, however I do think that my terminology does need some working out and such.

5) Learner response: what aspect of editing did you find most difficult? What have you learned from this process that will help you when you start the actual coursework later this year?
I think trying to incorporate a flashback in a scene with tension was a bit difficult to put in.

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.
