Cinematography task (camera shots and movement)

The cinematography in the bugsy malone fight scene was mostly filmed on a tripod because most the shots were medium shots in the scene. In the clip they used some high angle long shots and some panning shots. They also used one shot where they zoomed in to a characters face which showed the facial expression. They used lots of medium shots of people getting hit in the face which was filmed from a low angle point.


The cinematography in the fight scene in Parker was filmed not on a tripod, it was filmed hand held. There was lots of medium shot and close ups which was mostly filmed from a low angle.




Overall through the years camera work has changed a lot throughout the decades. These days there are a lot of movement work using a steady cam or a dolly. In the past, films used a lot of steady shots.

Analysing Narrative

Analysing Narrative




The narrative I will be analysing is the a TV episode . TV episode is The Inbetweeners -Thorpe park. It is about 4 friends but one of the friends narrates the what happens. The 4 friends are in sixth-form in London. The story evolves around these 4 characters.  


Roland Barthes theory is played with a lot in the episode. In the episode there are many signs that gives us clues on there personalty. One major sign is that how nice or unkind they are to each other. All of them give lots of banter to each friend. This gives us a clue, feeling that they are close that they are not sacred of each other.


The enigma code is showed in this episode because there are lots of funny moments when things don't go according to plan. There is on major funny moment when they are trying to park the car and then "Jay" wants to get because he saw some girls so he opens the door while the car is reversing  and the door hits a pole and the door comes of. The audience did not expect that to happen because when you hear about something about you wouldn't expect to laugh but the way they filmed it and they brought it up unexpectedly. Enigma was brought in before because they are parking a car. The major enigma was brought after that when the audience was egger to know what happens next with the car door and at Thorpe park.   

Todorov's theory did not really go into this episode as there is a number of disequilibriums. I think that is why the inbetweeners are so successful, because you don't know what to expect.  
Sound Presentation


Feedback
WWW
  • Brilliant presentation - opening superb
  • wide range of parallel images- good justification of them too.
  • Great debate started on music genre images
EBI
  • Pixelated images
  • contrapuntal images - were they massively different
  • Perhaps choice of music was a difficult one for this task
Evaluation

I think there was some confusion with one of my contrapuntal with the evil and the pictures of death. I know there was some pixelated images and i could of got a similar pictures which wasn't pixelated. I think the reason i choose Dubstep was because it was different and i don't like to be the same as everyone else.
