Learner Response:

 What were the strengths and weaknesses of your final film? Write a detailed analysis picking out specific shots, edits and any other aspect of film language you think is relevant.

A weakness of my film was that the ending seemed quite abrupt and in order to avoid that I should have used an edit such as dip to black to make the transition look smoother. A strength of my film was that I used low key lighting which helped create the dark atmosphere for my film and interrogation scene. The low key lighting also helped focus the viewers attention on the characters. Another strength of mine was the use of match on action shot when the protagonist slammed the case file on to the desk which emphasised the seriousness of the situation.

 What aspect of editing did you find most difficult? How will you further develop your editing skills prior to starting the coursework in June?

 The most difficult part for me was trying to get the audios from different shots to play over other shots and switch back from the shot/reverse shots. I will continue to practise different skills on premiere pro and watch YouTube tutorials in order to get help and a better understanding of the programme.

Mise-en-scene task

Image
In this picture we can see that there are two very different costumes: one which is very robotic and futuristic and the other that is futuristic but heroic as well. There are a few people who are wearing the same costume where their faces are hidden suggesting that they all do the same job and work for the same person. Their costumes have shiny metallic look enhancing the futuristic robot aspect of it. The other actor who looks like he is on a mission is wearing  long drape over his shoulders suggesting he is from another region than those storm troopers. That actor looks like he ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time suggesting he is a good-hearted  character. The lighting suggests that it is quite early in the morning for these people, but also the setting suggests that this has been set on another planet suggesting to someone who hasn't seen this film that it comes under the Sci-fi genre. Also, in the background, you can see these futuristic dystopian buildings enhancin

Sound analysis

Image
Clockwork Orange (1971) The director is suggesting that that the family is quite obnoxious, every chance they get they will start to argue and cause a commotion. The family is immature and violent as they start to fight in public. The director has used fast paced non diegetic sound such as a voice over as well as contrapuntal sound. The use of classical music played over a fight scene suggests that it is humorous and that things like this have happened before. It also suggests that their family is not taken seriously by many people because they seem to be very violent. The variation of pitch from high to low added a quite dramatic effect but also added tension to the scene, while the classical music calmed the viewers at the same time. Funny Games (2001) The director is suggesting that this family quite modern and accepting of all sorts of music. The use of diegetic sound was important because the characters dialogue was in another language which gave the audience a better

Capital: Representation questions

To what extent do the  representations  in Capital reflect the  concerns of modern 21st century London life?   [25 marks] To some extent I agree that the representations in Capital reflects the concerns of the modern 21 st  century London life. Capital provides us with a range of representations that vary because of people’s social class, ethnicity and wealth. These representations focus on some concerns such as immigration, wealth and job security. Within the opening scene of the flash back, the audience are shown Petunia’s past and how things have changed since then. The passing of time suggests how society has changed and developed over the years and how London is now made up of several different cultures. London is presented as quite diverse and accepting of people with different backgrounds and suggests that this is because of the increase of immigration. During the opening scene, Petunia mistakes Ahmed’s ethnicity which suggest that the representation of Asian people i
