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 he is Malcolm as he is in the middle.

The medium shot when the people are all in the car could suggest they are all family. The close up of the bald pen marker person can suggestion to the audience that this person is primarily the dumb person as the shot highlights its the persons mistakes they made which communicates a message to the audience telling them this is a comedy show which will deliver lots of laughs    

Secondly, find and analyse one film or TV still image. Add the image to your blogpost. 






3) Analyse the camera shot/angle in the image and what it communicates to the audience. Remember to highlight the media terminology you use.

The camera shots in the image is a medium two shot at a high angle from batman side as his is bigger then the joker this may show that the Batman is more Superior in this shot overall Batman has more power than joker just from this shot we can infer that. The angles from this shot can also be seen as it is a little bit slanted therefore during this scene the power may be transfer over to joker and may suggest he has a plan to get a upper hand on Batman

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.
