Sound:Parallel and Contrapuntal feedback and learner response


1) Type up your feedback from your teacher.

Teachers feedback: 

Superb choice of music and clips-the opening is so effective it's almost parallel but genuinely made me laugh out loud showing it meets the brief perfectly.

Perhaps the switch to parallel could of been a little bit more obvious-Perhaps the darkness and the positioning of the actor meant it took a couple of seconds to catch up.

Minor technical element-only export a minute! check your timeline before exporting.

2) Type up your feedback from fellow students - you can summarise key points if several students give you similar feedback.  

Class feedback:

WWW: Song choice was good parallel and contrapuntal clips sit 

WWW: Amazing,Brilliant both scenes from parallel and contrapuntal matched sound very well. 

EBI: Shift between contrapuntal and parallel was too sudden and fast 

WWW: Good editing and clips choice 

EBI: if it wasn't 3 minutes 

WWW: Brilliant transition 

EBI: could use more clips 

WWW: good music choice 

EBI: have better clips

WWW: Amazing clips 

EBI: clips are running smoothly

WWW: good song choice

EBI: should run smoothly 

WWW: Enjoyed it 

EBI: loud could put the sound down 

WWW: good music 

EBI: have only a minute 

WWW: good clips

EBI: one clip was too dark 

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.

WWW: the editing and clips were place well and engaged the audience to be more into the video itself the music was a nice touch and the clips and the music fit well as Contrapuntal and parallel 

EBI: if i didn't export for 3 minutes put the music volume down as it was loud and added more clips which are fast paced and quick gaining the audience attention 

4) Learner response: compare your own video against your evaluation of the top three videos in the class. Whose did you think was best and why? How could you have improved your own video?

I think anas one was the best as it was engaging and entertaining to me and was nice to watch. i could of used more clips and ran it all smoothly making the adjust to the switch from contrapuntal to parallel which allows the audience to see the difference 

5) Finally, what have you learned about the importance of sound to film and TV through this week's work? 
It  showed me that sound is really important and conveys a meaning to the audience and it might foreshadow events during the film or show

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?

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 brok...

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 ...
