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. Moreover, the picture indicates the girl's problems as she is walking toward a gloomy area.

The tree fading away is a way of reflecting the audiences perceptions as it highlights the ambiguity as the audience cannot see further than the tree which connotes they don't know what is going to happen.

The gloomy colours used to make the character evident, the colours used are similar to fog which could imply the audience cannot see what is going to come as they are blinded.

The font stands out, it is a redish black which could represent danger, also the E from 'Exorcism' is in capital and it is the name letter of the girls name, this could show importance. Moreover, the colour red could suggest murder as red usually has a connection with blood. This may lead the audience to thinking someone is going to die; not only by the colour of the title, but of the word itself. Additionally, the word 'exorcism' captures the audiences attention due to it's powerful meaning; possesion. However, it could also mean that there is an evil spirit around which would tend to be targeted at people who like watching horror movies.Thus, people who are interested to find out what happens to someone who is possessed and therefore makes the film more intriguing as it says 'based on a true story'.

Moreover, the type of shot used is long shot which allows the audience to get the right perspective of the subject. The lighting is focused on the whole poster however certain parts are faded; which connotes a mystery and more sincere side of the story. In addition, due to the lack of visibility, the audience is brought to question the enigma codes intended by the director. 

The clothing used to represent her character is a filthy white robe which connotes carelessness and a foul lifestyle. This may suggest that there is a meaningful past behind her story as to why she is dressed in a gruesome robe walking in the middle of nowhere. The camera shot of the character is viewed from the back which also connotes enigma codes as the audience is unable to see a front on profile. 

The significance of the lone tree in the distance represents loneliness or possible independence; this links in with the primary character denoting a similar fate. The characters shoulders are in a tense position which connotes fear and tension.
