Lighting blog tasks

 1) Still image analysis

  1. Identify examples of high and low-key lighting.
lowkey
high key



  1. Say which depict top, back or under lighting
the high key picture is top lighting as the light is coming from above like the sun. the lowkey one is back lighting as it is a bit darker on their faces and there is a strong light coming from behind 

  1. What effects are created by the lighting in each image?     
the high key one has an natural sunny day effect where the sun is shinning on them causing a shadow . the lowkey one had back lighting which makes their faces darker which suggest that there is trouble behind them like and explosion.

2) Film noir research 

-film noir heavily focuses on lowkey lighting
-this causes an uncanny, mysterious atmosphere and vibe for the audience
-they tend to use a contrast of lighting creating shadows to add onto the atmosphere
- they also use a certain brighter lighting for flashback scenes
-involves hard and hash lighting

3) Film noir YouTube clip analysis 
https://youtu.be/3t8H07c30io

throughout the scene it has high key lighting as there is a natural light where there is shadows being produced however then later on in the scene there is a brighter lighting which is lowkey as it is not natural. the light6ing at first is back lighting then again when they move away from the big window going into top lighting. this fits the film noir genre as there is a contrast of lighting between one scene.

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

  Task 1: Mail Online review of Capital 1) Re-read the  Mail Online review of  Capital .

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
