Film & TV Language: Cinematography feedback and learner response

 1) Type up your feedback/comments from your teacher.

  • There’s an engaging, creative idea here that is set up well with mise-en-scene and then edited for meaning. I’m always a bit sceptical about using ‘it was a dream’ as a narrative device as it’s been done so many times before but the blue/purple colour grading and the dialogue is reasonably effective.
  • Unfortunately, in terms of meeting the cinematography brief that was set this is missing the key elements. The biggest one by far is the portrait filming – this video absolutely had to be shot in widescreen in order to illustrate the correct camera shots, angles and movements.
  • The second key element that is missing is the labelling of shots, angles and movements with text on screen. This was essential to demonstrate understanding of cinematography.
  • Overall, this will prove to be a very, very good lesson in reading and meeting the brief and ALWAYS filming media projects in landscape (or using one of our SLR cameras.)

 

3) Now reflect on your work and write your own summary of the comments and feedback you have received. Write three WWWs and three EBIs.

-creative idea 

-set up well with the mise en scene 

-edited for meaning


ebi;

-fliming in potrait isnt part of the brief, have to film in landscape

-missing labels of the shots 

-the narrative has been done too many times its a bit sceptical


4) Learner response: think about what you learned about cinematography making the video and also watching others. What will you do differently when you start the coursework in the summer? What tips or tricks have you learned from others that you can use next time? Are there any specific aspects of camerawork that you need to revise or practice?

In summer when I start the coursework, I will make sure to go over the brief and be certain that I’ve met it. By filming in landscape/wide shot, then I would make sure to label the different shots that I’ve filmed. Secondly, I will make sure that I have a really good an interesting idea that isn’t overdone, and I will try and make it original. I would need to practice the close-ups.

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. Which, at the risk of understatement, would be a bit of a shame, really. - i disagree as i believe   this show was a fair representation of politics   Take a look at the trailer for new BBC One drama 'Capital' Loaded : 0% Progress : 0% 0:00 Previous Play Skip Mute Current Time 0:00 / Duration Time 0:40 Fullscreen Need Text You can be certain it wasn’t the plot that attracted the BBC dra

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
