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.
