1) Type up your feedback/comments from your teacher. A solid video that meets the very nice narrative that engages the audience match on action is used in places but also opportunities to use it in more places. Conversation is handled well timing is good shot reverse shot is spot-on and framing of over. The shoulder. Shots is good, refreshing use of angle deliberate? Flashback communicated okay but perhaps as a cutaway would have worked better. 2) Type up your feedback from fellow students. 180°  rule done perfectly match on action and sort of reverse shot done well I liked the flashback scene. Unique good use of props and costumes. The shot was also good in term of angles. 3) Now reflect on your video. Did you meet the brief and successfully include the three key editing aspects we have learned? I believe that I met the brief perfectly as I demonstrated my ability to use match on and shot reverse shot while not breaking the 180 degree rule, I also believe that this video was much ...

  1) Type up your feedback/comments from your teacher. Camera quality is not a problem for this project but definitely one to consider for future projects, nice range of shots and correctly labelled, I really like the narrative works perfectly for the brief. Some good camera movement but not sure on the zoom style transitions. I like it when its a match-cut style but not sure on the zoom in transitions. 2) Type up your feedback from fellow students. Good transition bad camera quality and very shaky. Good use of audio however a lot of background noise which ruined the video. Weird crop but amazing transitions. 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. WWWs: Good transitions, Good use of music clips, good location use and accurate labelling of shots. EBIs: The camera was very shaky, the background noise was too lo...

  Find the  opening sequence  to a film or TV drama of your choice on YouTube and e mbed the video in a blogpost called 'Cinematography blog tasks'.  1) Write an analysis of the cinematography in the opening sequence.  Highlight  your use of media language and try to cover camera shots, angles and movement using the terminology we have learned in lessons. At the beginning an extreme wide shot is used to establish the portal which connects earth and the alien planet together. The camera slowly moves forwards and then is interrupted by a bright light. The scene then switches to a bridge and through handheld camera movement one of the monsters or a "kaiju" is revealed. The angle of the camera is also low to high compared to the monster which gives an illusion of superiority to the monster and makes him appear dominant and sky-conquering compared to the people who are shown to be minuscule. This is all done through camera movement . The camera then ...

1) Type up your feedback from your teacher. Meets the brief impressively, good choice of song and the pace of the editing is perfectly in time with the beat. Both in selection of images and technical construction this is strong. The contrapuntal section is suitably uncomfortable to watch which shows it has impact. Holdding the final image for longer, How deliberate was this? I thought it worked really well. 2) Type up your feedback from fellow students - you can summarise key points if several students give you similar feedback.   Feedback from fellow students similarly included the points above and some examples are: -Good use of contrapuntal sound/parallel sound, Good beat drop, some images are on screen for too long. Add less still images. 3) Now reflect on your work and write your own evaluation of your video. Write a 'What went well' (WWW) paragraph and a paragraph for 'Even Better If' (EBI) underneath the rest of your feedback.  I believe that my video suited ...

  The clip below is from dumber and dumber. In the clip below the  diegetic  sound comes from the characters and their dialogue. It can also be seen through the two main characters repeated use of annoying phrases and noises.  Diegetic  audio being audio only the characters in the scene can hear. The  sound bridge  can be seen when the car stops to pick other people up and the guitar starts playing a few seconds before the camera shifts to reveal the people in the back of the car singing along to the song. The music is a bizarre focal point because it is not instrumental or digital but instead it is created by the two main characters as they sing along in harmony. The dialogue can be used to represent the two main characters personalities and their relationship as through the harmonic singing and constant noises which match each others it becomes evident that they are close friends. The music that the characters make is parallel because it pe...

  WWW: You’ve made an absolutely brilliant start to A Level Media on the coursework side – well done! Your blog is fully up to date and your reflection on the mise-en-scene recreation is exactly what I want to see in an LR task. Keep up the good work! EBI: Your analytical work so far shows a good level of detail which is so important at A Level. However, it is also important to focus on written English so think about how you organise your writing (sentences, paragraphs etc.) Reflect on your first month of Film & TV Language, What aspect of Film & TV language have you most enjoyed studying? Personally misc-en-scene has been a strong favourite of mine because now I have gained the ability to properly analyse and understand what happens in a scene and all the little elements which join up to create the main message behind a scene. What is your strongest piece of work so far?  The misc-en-scene recreation has been my strongest as I believe my attention to detail a...
