Mise-en-scene

 1) Find a distinctive still image and write an analysis of the mise-en-scene. Use each of the aspects you've learned in the lesson.

CLAMPS.

  • Costume
  • Lighting
  • Actor (placement and movement)
  • Make-up
  • Props
  • Setting

The Costume suggest that they are all old fashioned and that this is set in the late 1990s as they are all wearing suits or this may suggest that they are at a wedding or a party. The guy in the grey suit may be the main character as he is the only one in a grey suit. The Lighting is more so focused on the person in the grey suit which may show again that they are the main character. The Actor placement is one is standing straight up whilst the other actor is up against the car with his arms wide which may suggest that some conflict is gonna happen or the guy in the brown suit is scared and may try and run. Make-up there isn't that much make-up. There is some props such as the broken camera which may connote meaning that there was conflict just before it broke which juxtaposes the whole scene as it is a party which makes the audience think there is a bit of tension between the characters  

2) Find TWO film or TV extracts on YouTube from different genres (e.g. horror, sci-fi, costume drama). Embed them in your
blogpost and write a comparison of the mise-en-scene in each.

Costume is all black like a vigilante they might be trying to blend Batman in with the dark trying to make it more ominous and mysterious allowing the audience to have there guess and views. Banes costume is a metal oxygen mask. There is no lighting normally as it is fitting with the Gotham aesthetic allowing the loyal fan base who have read all the batman comics to be engaged with the film itself. But speaking of this clip it is light and allows the audience to see whats clearly going on in this scene. Batman moves ominously and violent which fits in with the grittiness of the character Batman and the whole crowd is in a rush running violently into another crowd starting a violent brawl  There is some make-up on Bane as he gets punches which allows us to see the damage Batman's punch does. There are lots of guns which are used and smoke grenades which are also used these's props show violence and connotes war. The setting is a street of Gotham and changes to an alleyway and back to a fight scene and the use of snow and violence juxtaposes the scene as snows supposed to represent a nice environment but in this case it shows a bad environment as it is surrounded by violence.         
Everyone is wearing old fashion clothes to fit the era the movie was in. They are some who are wearing army uniform to fit the place they are in. The lighting is dark at the beginning and when the bomb goes off the lighting becomes bright quickly to show the audience the awe the people are in when the bomb goes off and shows the impact it has and the peoples facial expression. Actor placement and movement they are all running and ducking which shows that they are ready for the bomb which is gonna go off therefore this isn't out of the blue this is planned. Props there was googles which was used to block out the light which came from the bomb. There was an alarm clock which was ticking down until it reached 0 the bomb went off. The setting is an army/bomb site as they tested a bomb there and people are in army uniform and there are green tents.

The British film industry: blog tasks

1 ) Write a one-sentence definition of what makes a film British. Films produced in the united kingdom   2) What is the difference between a Hollywood production context and production context of a British film? Hollywood studios have high budgets, a heavy reliance on celebrities both in the cast and crew and spectacle driven stories. Whereas British films  tend to have low budgets, character rather than spectacle driven stories and a heavier reliance on word of mouth and viral advertising. However  British films can be large budget, high concept films such as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 or they can be character driven, small budgeted films such as Kill List 3) When did the James Bond franchise start?

Cinematography: blog analysis 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.  The opening scene consists of medium shots, close ups long shots, close ups low angles, high angles, extreme close-up towards the eye at the end of the shot, long shots, hand held shots, pan shots  2) How does the camerawork give the audience clues about the setting, narrative and character? It gives the idea of the medium shot of the people on the sofa could all be brothers or friends. Towards the end when it zoomed into the person eye which was a extreme close up could suggest that he is the main character which is clear and it has the title of the show and zooms right in you can also talk about the placement of the shot of him being in the middle of the shot which can relate to the title which is Malcolm in the middle we can use this to suggest that ...
