  1) Type up your feedback/comments from your teacher. -Good opening shot, quirky angle works well -Match on action generally spot on , particularly going through the door -Nice use of SFX to build tension and the choice of camera shots to not reveal faces was clever  -Slight issue with cinematography , focus of over the shoulder shot. Also not sure if the wider shot of the two was effective (id have gone closer). 2) Type up your feedback from fellow students. - I liked the heartbeat in the background , added suspense. You captured the 180 degree angle very well # - good editing , nicely paced ebi: I think her name changed but still good! -appropriate sound effects good cuts of scenes ebi: could include continuity editing but overall very good -good use of the 180 degree rule, the soundtrack built up nicely 3) Now reflect on your video. Did you meet the brief and successfully include the three key editing aspects we have learned? I think i did a good job considering i am not a...

1) Write a one-sentence definition of what makes a film British . Most people would define a 'British' film with reference to obvious cultural elements such as: a setting in the UK or a focus on British people abroad; a predominantly British cast; a storyline about some aspect of British life — past, present or future — or notably by, or based on a work by, a British author. 2) What is the difference between a Hollywood production context and production context of a British film? Hollywood studios have high budgets, a heavy reliance on celebrities both in the cast and crew and spectacle driven stories. Whereas the independent production context films tend to have low budgets, character rather than spectacle driven stories and a heavier reliance on word of mouth and viral advertising. The British film production context does not have as many clearly defined characteristics. 3) When did the James Bond franchise start? 1962 4) In terms of film censorship and graphic content,...

  .BLADE RUNNER ANALYSIS    I think that this film is a sci-fi film due to the use of the colour scheme and the props. The use of the colours like white and green and a little bit of blue suggests that the film is going to be about a powerful man who is trying to save the world  from something evil(maybe aliens). The use of the close up shot of what looks like the main character can imply how he's going to be the main protagonist of the film and the person we see the film through (his perspective) That shot can also communicate his facial expressions to the audience as he looks a little distressed(due to him sweating) but ready to taken on whatever is on his way. He looks powerful. This perfectly enhances the stereotype of men being strong and powerful. He looks like hes doing a great job at what he's doing ,due to him sweating it illustrates to us an audience  that he's putting his blood, sweat an...

  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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClfDIu7C8SM 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 Within  this short clip of Stranger Things, there is diegetic sound of the female character breathing, this is significant as it is the only diegetic sound and focuses the attention of the viewers on to her breathing suggesting that she is could be frightened by the situation she is in. Also, the non diegetic sound of the tearing and the beating sound sort of like a heart beat of a living being again focuses the viewers attention on the sound because it was very loud and repetitive. These sounds are parallel to the clip ...

   Mr Halseys Feedback: You’ve taken on a really challenging recreation and managed to deliver a fun, entertaining video. Well done! Focusing on mise-en-scene, the costumes, locations and actor movement/expression are excellent. You’ve captured the feel of the original. I also think the shots are framed well and fit the split-screen element effectively. The first 20 seconds are close to perfect in terms of the editing and split screen. You lose it a little towards the end but it’s a very complex and awkward editing task to keep the two video and audio tracks running simultaneously and still making the conversation make sense. This is a brilliant lesson in editing, never mind mise-en-scene! I’m also impressed you’ve managed the technical issues with PCs crashing to still deliver this work. I think the facial expressions and costumes were as close as it could be which is good, I chose to take on a challenge because everyone else was pretty similar it wa...

1. Mr Halseys Feedback: WWW: This meets the brief perfectly- a great choice of song and clips that are totally parallel and contrapuntal. The opening is strong- the audio could easily be from the original film ( I'm assuming its not) and then the switch to Voldemort gets a laugh from the audience to demonstrate how effective the switch is. EBI: the video was only made up of two film clips rather than a selection/ collage but it so clearly demonstrates an understanding of sound I can't really complain! 2. Sade's Feedback: -WWW: The clips were great and i loved the contrast between the music and the 2nd clip:) -EBI: i dont have any Rish's Feedback: WWW: Very good choice of song, great reaction created with the Harry Potter scene. EBI: Nothing, Everything was great! Ashleens Feedback: WWW: Great Media images and music choice - It shocked me. EBI: none:) lucky you.... Krissies Feedback: WWW: I dont know what i just watched , but i love it. Good contrast betwwen the two cli...
