I think that we did quite well. We gave some tough but good questions which gave some good information.  there was a problem with the powerpoint but we still managed to finish the PowerPoint.

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.

I and my partner Manraj decided to do our narrative based on football. The narrative is "The Game".

Todorov Theory

Todorov theory did help use sort out the narrative because we do have a equilibrium, disequilibrium and a new equilibrium.

Narrative

  

 The protagonist within the story is someone called Conrad Garcia. Who is half English and half Spanish. Conrad Garcia is a footballer who plays for Barnsley in the championship. This is when the equilibrium is put in place. It is the Championship playoff final and the winner of the match will get promoted into the Premiership. Unfortunately Barnsley lost on penalties, however Conrad who is a striker did score a goal during the match and converted his penalty and was also named man of the match. Due to his performance in the final and throughout the whole season a host of premier league clubs were tracking him when eventually Tottenham signed him for 7 million pounds. It was middle of the season and Conrad hadn’t played many games due to the quality of players within the Tottenham squad. Tottenham were playing a home match against Manchester United they were losing 1-0. Andre Vilas Boas the Tottenham manager needed to make a substitution quickly. He decided to take their star striker Soldado off and bring on Conrad, the Tottenham fans were booing and getting very abusive.. Until the 90^th minute where Conrad was fed in one on one he shoots he scores!

That one goal changed his life completely, now Conrad would get noticed everywhere he goes, sponsorship deals you name it. But more importantly he was starting instead of Soldado the best player at the club. Due to the fame and his big step up Conrad wanted a new contract worth a lot of money, however his agent who had been his agent since he first started playing football professionally told him he should wait. Conrad didn't like what his agent had to say and this resulted in conflict between the pair and eventually he sacked him and hired a new well known agent, who was also the agent of Soldados. The disequilibrium is now being introduced. Has Conrad has with many premier league footballers personal life was beginning to take a toll on his image has he was always partying and cheated on his girlfriend who he had been with from a young age. He got the lucrative contract he wanted but at a cost has he had lost all his friends and lost respect from the people closest to him. You could see this wasn’t affecting him on the pitch has he was still scoring goals. However Soldado didn’t like Conrad due to him taking his place in the team and had a word with his agent, has Soldado was the agents’ favourite client he decided to help Soldado. It was the penultimate weekend of the premier league and Tottenham were going for 4^th place, they were up against Sunderland. Lee Cattermole another one of this mysterious agents clients was playing. During the match you could see Cattermole was man marking Conrad and towards the end he had fouled and injured Conrad this caused a fight between the two payers causing Conrad to get sent off and also injured for a large amount of time. Cattermole then looked to the stands where the agent was and winked and just Conrads luck his replacement Soldado scored the winner.

After long rehab, Conrad decided to try fix things up with the people closest to him, this worked and he eventually re hired his ex agent and forced a move away from Tottenham and joined Arsenal their rivals.. His career was back on track but for how long...

Film Noir Research

Film Noir Research

Film noir is a stylish Hollywood crime drama. Film Noir is not really made any more but there has been some great films made in the past. Hollywood's film noir period is generally regarded as extending from the 1940s to the late 1950s. Film noir is known named as a genre now. The hasn't really been any film noir films made know. Film noir is mostly known for their low-key lighting and for the crimes. The term film noir is french for 2black film", which was first introduced to Hollywood films by a french critic Nino Frank in 1946.


Film noir is not really mentioned in the world of cinema right now but some companies have brought back film noir back into the 21st century. The video game industry has taken film noir into a hole different level bringing in a whole different perspective of the genre. Two games that took advantage of film noir is Rockstar Game's L.A.Noire and 2K Czech's MAFIA II. Which was set in the same time period, 1940-1950. Both the games had different plots for the game they were a Third-person shooter, action-adventure.

Most recently Warn Bros released a film noir film called Gangster Squad which was based " Tales from the gangster squad by Paul Lieberman". The film was released in January 2013 and was successful but still film noir is not one of the major genres in the film industry.
