Mise-en-scene blog tasks

 1) Find a distinctive still image and write an analysis of the mise-en-scene. Use each of the aspects you've learned in the lesson.

 By the props we learn that this is a horror movie which as got murder in it as  the bloody knife shows that someone has been seriously injured and hurt. The mask also shows how he is trying to hide his identity so we learn that from the mask and the prop weapon that he is a murder. By this we can infer that this movie is for adults (young/middle age e.g. all types of adults) as the props could be disturbing for younger kids.
Again from the setting we can infer that the house has been broken into or been messed up while someone is trying to get in as the table is tipped over and the lamp has fell over it. The bloody writing also show that someone was murdered.


2) Find TWO film or TV extracts on YouTube from different genres (e.g. horror, sci-fi, costume drama). Embed them in your blogpost and write a comparison of the mise-en-scene in each.

the scream and the scary movie opening clips 
the scream opening is a horror about a guy with a mask that calls his victims and has a conversation before killing them. The scary movie is a comedy that mocks and mimics the scream and other horror movies . 
 In the opening scene of scream the guy keeps calling the girl while asking her questions then proceeing to scare her until shes crying and kills her boyfriend which she seees him dead on her front yard. In the first scene of the scary movie its parody and mimics this exact fist scene by making funny comments. the costuming and setting is very similar as it is mimcing however its the same scenery and idea but presented in different ways. One is a funny way that makes the audience die of laughter however the other is a scary scene that keeps the audience on edge nervous. Both target young adults and above as an audience

Coursework: Summer Project 2023

1) Research: TV crime drama extract analysis  TV crime drama extract 1: Narrative and genre How is the narrative and the crime drama genre communicated to the audience?  TopBoy (opening scene) The montage of the British convention ;chicken shop chip boxes ,council estate, graffiti on walls ,the road market/shops. It is made clear from the start that the show is based off drug dealing ,as it opens with 2 drug addicts begging for free drugs then a drug supplier coming to discuss prices. TV crime drama  extract  2:   Mise-en-scene peaky blinders (there is God and there are the peaky blinders) What do you notice about the use of mise-en-scene to create meanings for the audience? Think CLAMPS. Mise en scene of the costuming of Nuns and the man and woman dressed in old clothing gives the sense of the narrative being set back to old times. The cigarette being held in her hand in a church then later pulling out a knife gives a sense that her character is dominant and powerful. The broken glass

TV: Capital - Marxism and Hegemony

  Task 1: Mail Online review of Capital 1) Re-read the  Mail Online review of  Capital . Why does it suggest that  Capital  features a left-wing ideology?  Capital was as stuffed full with fashionable causes as Jeremy Corbyn’s function dia ry. this suggest that captial is based on an left wing ideology 2) Choose  three  quotes from the review that are particularly critical of  Capital  and paste them into your blogpost. Do you agree with the criticisms? Why? Maybe that’s one more thing to be added to the list of politically incorrect crimes, things that we can never say and shouldn’t even think.

TV: Industry contexts

  Independent: British viewers can't get enough of foreign-language dramas 1) What does the article suggest regarding the traditional audience for foreign-language subtitled media? Fifteen years ago, if you'd mentioned to a colleague that you'd spent Saturday night glued to a subtitled European drama, you'd have been quietly declared pretentious, dull and, possibly, a little odd . Skip to today and foreign-language dramas aren't even on-trend, they're fully mainstream. Now we are as likely to discuss the latest Danish thriller over a morning flat white at our desks as we are a new season on HBO. 2) What does Walter Iuzzolino suggest is the key appeal of his 'Walter Presents' shows? Walter Presents is a unique proposition. Its flagship show Deutschland 83 will premiere on Channel 4 on 3 January, while other shows will appear on More4. The rest will be drip fed to us throughout 2016 via the All4 platform, where series will be consumed in the form of box s
