Media Film production.

WWW: In our film production, many things went well such as our lighting, shots and edits.
For instance, we managed to include low key lighting within our production by turning off the lights within the room and then having a small light peeking through so my face was able to be shown. This was effective as we used a mini torch which was focused on my face; this was effective as it created a sense of horror within the film. Also, we used a variety of diverse shots such as shot reverse shot where the camera was directed at anils face then was shown to mine and then back to his - emphasising the expression shown on his face after seeing me. This was done when anil walked into the room and unexpectidly saw me and then the camera went straight to me and then back to him.

Furthermore, we also used dialogue which was very useful in our production as it enabled enigma codes questioning the audience as to why anil was so shocked to see him and asked 'What you doing here?' my response was, 'You can run but you can't hide' hence this creates enigma as the audience as left to question the scene as to what has happened between anil and I. Also, the fact that I was about to pull out something from my pocket, creates tension for the audience, wanting to find out what my next step was. However, before I pulled out my anonymous prop, we cut the scene in order to create enigma and tension for the audience. This was effective as it leaves our audience to question the plot and want to watch on.

EBI: We made specific scenes faster to create a more dramatic effect. For example, when the camera was focused on anils feet whilst he was running, we could spead it up, creating more effect. Also, we could use a wider range of shots and angles.

 

ANALYSIS.

The wire: Firstly, this tv programme is simular to our film pruduction as it included many violent scenes which were done effectively due to the lighting and sound. For instance, there was a wide range of low key lighting and focus on particular things such as facial expressions and props. A gun was used in many scenes alongside knives etc, this was highlighted in the programme as there were many extreme close ups of them indicating the power of the object.

True Blood: This programme is also similar to our film production as the programme included binary opposition of the woman praying in church then being shown naked in her lingere. This engages the audience as this foreshadows next events. Moreover, the lighting and shots were used cleverly as the 180oC was used at a point in the programme. The lighting was good in the morning as it enabled light to focus on certain actors facial expressions such as the womans.

The mentalist: This programme includes binary oposition also as the audience are able to witness good and evil. The room creates enigma as the audience are left suspicious to wonder what the message about the room is. Also, the lighting was used well as it was in a dark place creating tension for the audience. Moreover, the sound was well used as it created a tense atmosphere with the sound getting louder and louder each second creating a dramatic effect.

Gothika: This particular programme is about a woman who is known to be mental however actually witnessess bazar things such as a dead girl walking on the street on fire. This programme has a twist to it almost like my film production. For example, the woman is taking something out of her pocket however the audience is unable to find out what it is as the scene gets cut. This creates enigma for the audience to question what the prop may be. Also, the lighting was well used as it was in the dark however had a bright lighting shining through to create tension on what the light is focusing on.

Dexter: This programme used a wide range of shots; for example, in the opening sequence we see an extreme close-up of a fly being squashed, and behind the fly, the audience are to assume that he is a villian due to his sly grin. We then see the red typography appear on the screen which connotes blood, danger and death. The use of extreme close ups enable the audience to tell the actors facial expressions etc.

Fishtank Rev

Fishtank is a film directed by Andrea Arnold, also known for directing another film called 'Wasp'. She's also known for winning an award at the Oscars and Bafta awards as best film director. The film 'Fishtank' is based on a 15year old girl who has an ambition in life to actually go ahead and make something of her life. Her goal is to audition and become a dancer however she is let down several times by her chance of becoming a dancer and by her mothers friend who she believed liked her. The film title relates to the film as the girl is stuck in a position where she dreams to things but can't as she is always portrayed throughout the film. 

The actors Katie Jarvis (Mia) and Michael Fassbender (Connor) are the main stars. The audience understand that Mia has been kicked out of school due to unacceptable behaviour however we find out that when she wants to block everything out, she locks herself into a room and practises dancing. Mia lives with her mum and her little sister in a council flat who she does not get along with as her mum doesn't care about her. Mia's mum meets a new male friend whom stays over in the evenings, until he started becoming more closer to her mum and herself. Then we see that something is going to happen between Mia and Connor as we notice that they keep making sly eye contact. Later on during the film, the two actors begin to kiss, later on Connor leaves Mia's mum and goes back to his secret family. However, Mia does not give up easily as she finds out where he lives and kidnaps his baby daughter. 

Mia then sends his daughter back and finds a way out to be set free from the life she hated. She leaves with a friend that she made while she was out walking. The plot of the film is quite unusual as there was no storyline. This connected with the main character Mia as she had to story to her life. Also, the genre is Drama as we see the dramatic side to Mia's life which Arnold did to show how society is changing and how people go through rough times in life. 

My personal opinion on the film is quite positive because the fact that there is no storyline, fits in and related to Mia's character as she is not in a fixed position. Her life is turned upside down and things seem to get worse and worse each time something good comes along. For example, when she received the phone call giving her the chance to audition, however when she went, it was not as she expected because all the other contestants are strippers rather than hip hop dancers hence why she left the audition.

Arnolds target audience is most likely at young people who may be in the same position as Mia, who got sexually abused by a middle aged man whom she was inferior. My personal rating on the film is 8.5/10

Media Awards Video Analysis.

Inner Redemption -
In the short video, the mise en scene was smartly considered as they used great lighting, sound, angles, props, costume, make-up and actors.
They used low key lighting when the camera was looking directly at one of the actors, in order for the audience to focus on her and to notice her facial expressions which in this case was scared. This was a great affect as the audience were put into the actors shoes as we felt the emotion of the actor due being in direct contact with them. This is called identification. Also, the sound was well co-ordinated with each scene. For example, when a love scene came on, the sound was according to the scene which fit really well. Another time is when a horror scene comes on, the background music is of a nursery song which sometimes comes across as quite strange and scary. It worked well in the scenes of Inner Redemption as the audience were drawn into it as it turns into tragedy.

Furthermore, the props used were tarot reading cards which gave out an even more scary feeling as it showed the woman was able to tell the future of her life within those cards. The look on the actors face when she was reading them were very clear as the audience were automatically able to sense that something bad was going to happen. A dramatic cause was created when the actor stopped the entire meeting with the other actor because she witnessed a tragic cause in her life through the cards.
The costumes were well chosen as the actor reading the tarot cards was wearing a traditional outfit which made the scene more realistic.

Overall, the film was well worked on as the entire mise en scene was brilliantly done. The storyline was clear that she was forced to be with someone who was controlling and whom she didn't love. Therefore, she was in the process of committing suicide but did not proceed as a witness stopped her. In the end, she ends up killing her parter and ends up getting possessed. In addition, the possession scene worked well as the actor was giving direct mode of address which connotes confidence within the actor.

The Watchful Eye

The mise en scene was well done as the actors were well played as their aim was to act scared. The main actor who was the woman was confused as where her boyfriend/friend disappeared to after hearing a knock on the door. The lighting was efficent because it was slightly dark creating tension as to how she was scared.
This caused a great effect as the audience were drawn into the scene being in her position.

The flasher is extremely eye catching as it is written in bold white letters with an italic font which connotes a sexy  look especially having an attractive woman in the background specifying that the magazine is aimed at young women. Also, the word 'Body' automatically captures the readers attention as many young women are eager to keep their bodies in shape in order to look good, feel good and to be able to fit into clothes that they're aiming to fit into. In addition, the term 'Body' attracts women's attention as many females are unhappy with their sizes which implies that they're most likely to want to read some of the 'Secrets' so that they are able to do something about their weight. 

The central image is of a well known actor, Jessica Alba; this influences women to be like her as she is directly looking at her audience which is known as direct mode of address. This makes women want to purchase the magazine so they can read more about how she maintains her body and looks as good as she does.

Comparison between 1930 film & 1990 film.

">

This film was published in the 1930's. In this trailer, the colour is in black and white due to not having programmes in colour in the olden days. However, the lighting was still noticeable. For example, the lighting is focused on a certain part when the woman is speaking. Not only is the lighting based on her face, but the angle is mid shot focusing from her shoulders up to her face. Also, at 2:06, you can see the back of the males head and cannot see the head which shows the high key lighting as his head was blacked out. This connotes mystery, and could suggest that is walking towards a dark area which creates enigma for the audience. 

 We then see that the male has walked straight into a dark background creating tension for the audience as we can only see his body fading into the dark. From a mid shot, we notice that it slowly turns into a long shot the audience can then see his full body. The male then disappears and the fading grows stronger as his existence appears. This effect is useful as it creates tension for the audience to consider what just happened. 

 Moreover, in the beginning of the trailer, we see that the angle is taken from a birds eye view as the camera is looking down at both actors. The crane shot enables the audience to see the whole of the room and both characters and how they react. Also, the sounds were diegetic sounds as the sounds were originated from the source.

   

 This film was published in 1990's and is very different to the film in 1930's. Firstly, the audience is able to see colour, such as the colour of people's clothing, and everything within the mise en scene. In this film, props are used, costumes are different (peoples dress sense were different) and make up for the actors were used. Also, the sounds used were non-diegetic and diegetic at different times. For instance, when the car was parking,and the background music.  

The props used in some scenes were a guy holding a cigarette at a casino which was something common to do in those days. Moreover, in the beginning, there is a close up of a man's eye which creates effect as it could represent fear however in this situation is only done to create effect. 

Comparison

The comparison between the two is that they used similar angle shots to create effect. For example, both films used mid shot so the camera was focusing on the persons shoulders, upwards. This type of shot was most used when someone had something important so say, so was then focused on how their facial expressions would relate. Both films had different lighting at different parts. For example, the one in 1930 used to lighting which only focused on his back and showed a black background and the film in 1990, shows high key lighting when the boy is looking down through the window blinds. Not only does this focus on the lighting, but is also a Point of View angle shot as the camera focuses on his face, then looks at what he is looking, the focuses back on his face so the audience understands what he may be feeling.

In addition, there was more mise en scene in the 1990's video whereas the film in 1930 only had a chair that was used as a prop. However, both films did include props.

Analysis of 4 film posters.

This film poster of James Bond 'Casino Royale' connotes that it is an action film due to hints in the mise en scene. The props used in this film poster is a gun which connotes that the actor is a villian as an illegal weapon is often held in the hands of a criminal. Also, his bow-tie is undone suggesting he does not care about his physical appearance as a bow-tie done is meant to make you look sophisticated. However, another interpretation could be that he is secretly trying to look elegant disguising his undercover job.

Moreover, the fact that he is in front of the actor behind, de-notates that his existence is highly crucial and pays a big part of the film itself. Due to the woman in the back, this connotes that they may have a connection as they are both wearing the same colour clothing yet are distanced from each other. Nevertheless, it may connote the binary opposition between the two. It also seems as if he is walking away from her which highlight the enigma codes to the audience leaving them to wonder what has happened between the two. 

The cinematography shows that the image is focused on the two actors as they seem to be the ones notably seen on the front of the image although one seems to be more powerful. The typography is written in white which connotes purity. This then leads the audience to think about what could be pure within this film as it seems to be an action film however could be white for the clarity so it stands out. The 7 is in the shape of a gun which was cleverly thought of as it straight away highlights that the film has got to do with murder.

The background colour of the image is quite dull connoting that it full of mystery due to the lighting not being so bright. Also, even though the main character is seen in the front of the image, this does not necessarily mean that their status is hight because the woman behind is standing on steps which connotes her power against him. 

Also, it is a long shot angle suggesting their importance as the full body is shown in the image. 

Furthermore, behind the male character, there is a white light which links to the typography connoting his purity. Again, this is enigma codes as the audience is left to figure out where his purity comes on as he is holding a gun. The white light also connotes that he may be the protagonist in the film as it could suggest hope. 

This film poster is called 'Gothika' and notably, the genre of the film is a horror. Firstly, the camera shot of this image is a mid shot as we are able to see the woman's shoulders. The main highlight of this film poster is the actors face as the audience are drawn to the expression on her face. We instantly understand her facial expressions seem to be either scared or worried as she is looking directly at the camera. This also shows that she is trying to send a message out to the audience or wants the audience to feel sympathy for her as it looks like she is trying to escape. This is notable as her hands are shown in the picture alongside her feared facial expression.

The lighting is based on her face with high key lighting in the background connoting a horrifying history. Another interpretation of the black background could suggest that she is the villian in the film. Not only does the background seem to be black, but the weather is also shown that is raining which often connotes that something bad is going to happen. 

The typography in this film poster looks as if it is glowing which automatically draws attention, wanting the audience to wonder what the word 'Gothika' defines. The font used for the title of the film is written is very unusual font, which looks quite mysterious having the glow as well. 

Moreover, there is not much of a variety of colours used in this film poster which makes it look quite dull. This fits in the with the genre as it is a horror film, meaning bright colours are not to be used. Also, the poster is mainly focused on the woman which connotes she is the protagonist in the film. 

This film poster is called 'Bride & Prejudice'. The lighting in this poster is focused everywhere which connotes that it has a happy ending due to there being no mysterious hints within the poster. The colours used is quite exciting and captures the audiences attention that it is a film based on adventure and love. The word 'Bride' in the title connotes a marriage, and the fact that the female actor in the image is smiling, suggests a happy marriage. 

In the background, the audience can see a variety of colours which may indicate a celebration, linked to the title 'Bride & Prejudice', assuming it is the wedding. You can also see many people in the background wearing bright colours connoting the traditional occasion. However, the word 'Prejudice' creates the ideology that there is conflict between the two families as their nationality might oppose. This creates enigma as the audience is more eager to find out what the problem is between their marriage yet the two actors seem to be happy. 

The typography is written in 3 different colours which tend to be quite eye-catching. The angle shot for the two characters are mid shot as their whole bodies aren't shown and their body language shows that they are two very happy characters. Nevertheless, this film may not have a happy ending as the word 'prejudice' interrupts the 'happy ending'. 

Furthermore, at the top of the poster, there is mini message to the audience saying 'Bollywood meets Hollywood' which creates effect to the film as the audience wants to find out what happens to their marriage as it is clear that two people from different backgrounds are in love. This message hints out the story line along with the word 'prejudice'.

The audience either have two views: the two families accept that the two are in love or the wedding gets intruded because they come from two different backgrounds. The cinematography is well shown with the bright colours, bold, colourful font & the two actors with delighted facial expressions. 

This film is called 'American Gangster' and the genre is Action. The high key lighting in this film poster is used well as it creates enigma to the audience leaving them to wonder who has more power out of the two actors and who is the protagonist.

The mise en scene used in this film shows that the character in front is holding a gun connoting he is the villian through out the film. Also, the actor holding the gun is slightly in front showing that there is a slight difference between the two characters. For instance, they are two both very powerful actors however the one in front has slightly more power also because he is carrying a gun. 

The costume also gives it away that the male wearing black is the villain and the male wearing white is either a victim or hero. Also, the male in front comes across as more dominant due to holding the prop and having his shoulder in front. 

Moreover, the typography is written in white to show contrast between the black and white. Also, for clarity so it is easier to see. The title of the film links well with the image as the audience assume that the male holding the gun is the 'gangster' which also leads to context. In america, violence was very common and many people used to carry weapons such as guns and knives. Many gangs were involved in crimes competing against each other and always wanting their gang name to have a higher status. This is where the audience understand this and are likely to want to watch the film. 

The title is also written in the centre of the poster which grabs the audiences attention, with a red line in between the two words 'american' and 'gangster' which could represent danger, murder and blood.

Stephen Kings IT Lighting Analysis

As George looks down into the sewer back lighting is used making it seem as though the sewer is a dark place. As the clown appears in the sewer under lighting is used to illuminate his face  as that is the only lighting again re enforcing that the sewer is a dark and dangerous place this type of lighting is often used in horror films. Also Low key lighting is used on the antagonist to give him a sinister and dark tone this is also commonly used in horrors and will attract audiences who are fans of the horror genre.

In the image above we can see that top lighting is used to highlight the protagonists facial expressions of fear. Back lighting is also used in the back to connote that they are walking away from safety. Key light is also used in this shot on the left person as a shadow is created around his face this could be done to make him seem more distorted then the rest.

Beyonce's Perfume - HEAT

This specific advert catches many peoples attention as Beyonce is one of the most famous celebrities in the music industry. Therefore, having her picture on the front of an advert cover captures millions of peoples attention to then go and purchase her product. Also, the image of Beyonce is her looking directly at the camera as if she is talking and sending out a message to everyone that has been drawn to this perfume. This could also come across as a montage.

Moreover, the image of the perfume is placed on the bottom of the right hand corner with a glow behind it which connotes its importance promoted by an important person. Also, the colours used in this particular advert is mainly red. In this perspective, the colour red comes across as quite seductive as the pose Beyonce is doing is quite revealing showing some cleavage. This captures peoples attention as men are likely to buy it for their partener/wife. The textography is written in big bold capitals right at the top of the advert which may indicate that people must buy this product as Beyonce is under the text beside the product.

The camera shot used for this advert is a mid angle shot as only half of her body is shown. This conotes that more of her upper body is noticed as people are to be focusing on her face and upper body. Due to Beyonce showing cleavage people are likely to be drawm into purchasing her product as men would wait their loved ones to smell as sexy as Beyonce. In addition,  women want to be like her which denotates that they are most likely to buy her perfume.

Furthermore, the lighting is focused on the perfume and the famous well-known 'Beyonce'. This is to show importance to both the product and celebrity engaging the audience to purchase the perfume.

Kidulthood

Analysis of the opening scene of 'Kidulthood'

The beginning of Kidulthood starts with a close camera shot of a teenage boy playing football it slowly zooms out with great focus which slowly blurs out and turns into a normal scene at a normal pace. The slow motion could have been to amplify how the teenagers have forgotten their values in a slow way, as they have began to take harmful drugs and behave very badly in society. There are three boys shown at the start wearing dark colour hoodies and they could be known as "hood rats"

Throughout the whole scene there was a lot of voices we couldn't hear, there was like a over voice, which kept overlapping everyone's voices and there was a lot of noises which then meant everyone was muttering. 

Kidulthood emphasises on the societies ideology and values of today. The society see teenagers as bad people, they belief they are very dangerous and could harm anyone. Kidulthood is an example of why the society feel this way as teenagers cause fights and harm other students.

Media Studies

Media studies

I chose media as an A Level as I have done loads of research on this partiular subject and have found that it seems to be a very exciting and interesting subject to take.
After doing loads of research it made me understand what media is all about such as film making, making short clips, trailors etc. Again, this made me choose media as it interests me how trailers are made. Also, I might want to consider taking it at university if my grades are as good as I expect.
Moreover, I learnt that media isn't all about making videoclips but is also for the means of communication. Media is a subject in which I could express myself, its a creative subject which would allow me to tell my peers around me how I feel about certain things. 

Media has a lot of career opportunities, which I may consider in the long run, depending on how well I progress within this subject. I am very determine to learn about the Media as everyone has a part to play within the Media and its interesting knowing about other peoples lifestyles and what they Media believe about it. 

Media Studies A-level includes a lot of coursework which I believe I'm good at doing, I would like to achieve a grade A or above for all my coursework and practical work I produce. For the exams I want to achieve a grade A, hopefully my overall grade will be above a B.

Exorcism

The exorcism of Emily Rose analaysis

The film 'The exorcism of Emily Rose' is a horror movie based on a true story. The main point of the film is seeing how a woman gets possessed and how abnormal things happen to her whilst unaware of what is going on around her. This poster is extremely eyecatching as the word 'exorcism' is the most largest word on the poster which engages the readers attention.
