City of God   opens with the residents of the slums preparing their meal. Interestingly, the very first shot is a close up that depicts the male sharpening the knife which he intends to use to cook with. The fact that the first shot was a close-up rather than an establishing shot already creates an enigma code for the audience, as we begin to question things regarding the setting, characters and the overall narrative. The use of straight cuts at this point create an element of speed and a fast pace –which the audience will later be able to relate to the bustling nature of the Brazilian favelas. Interestingly, there is also an eye-line match at this point; however, it is from the perspective of the chicken – not a human. Although this is somewhat unusual of typical cutaways, it successfully conveys the fear that the chicken experiences. The straight cuts then continue, forming a montage of all of the things happening in this location at this point, (e.g.: the dancing, the sharpen

The  scene  begins with an  establishing shot  held from a  high angle . This has an immediate effect which establishes the dramatic, eerie  genre  which is constructed by the  cinematography  combined with other aspects of  mise-en-scene  such as  lighting . The  high angle  makes the setting appear large and isolated which generates feelings of fear in the  audience , as they feel as if they are in this room, alone. Furthermore the  establishing shot  helps to introduce the  setting  to the  audience , so that they learn and make assumptions about the  story-line . The  positioning  of the  camera  during this  shot  is also highly significant; the deliberate  placement  of the isolated, towering door in the centre of the  shot catches the  audiences' attention , playfully suggesting that something dangerous and significant to the  story  will emerge. As the little girl emerges from behind the curtains, the  camera transitions  to a  long-medium shot . The effect of this is skill

cinematography video

During the recording this video I used a range of different shots to show the different types of angles, which are labelled within the video, these vary from angles and movement of the camera.Between the clips I used the same effects for a smoother transition. The song I used goes with the pace and editing of the video. We recorded this video in school filming both indoors and outdoors.

blade runner 2049 reviews

1)This film review tells us how the original Blade Runner movie inspired other movies such as 'The Dark Knight' and 'WALL-E". It doesn't fail to mention how  Officer K, comes back he has to have a 'debrief' with an  interrogation model  and reply to key word, such as "cells" to evaluate his  mental psyche.  Furthermore, the genre of this film is  Science-Fiction  and is significant because it  "is there to tackle big ideas, and makes realist genres look flimsy and parochial." 2) This review suggests that audiences did not enjoy this movie as it did not live up to the expectations of its fanbase by being too distinguished by the first movie. Particularly, the mentioning of the equipment and props suggests that the review was critical of the extent to which producers went to make the film realistic; the use of props such as holograms and VRs make the movie look future realistic. The cinematography was significant as it brought the whole i

Moonlight review

Key Points This film takes place in a stereotypical "ghetto" area in a dominantly Black, American neighbourhood. From this, the audience can already paint the rest of the picture and make accurate assumptions about the characters. For example, when we learn that the primary character, Chiron, is gay, it creates an instant feeling of worry and concern as the audience are already  aware  of the negative and hateful views towards homosexuality in this specific type of community. Focusing on Chiron, we can point out his deliberate use of body language, speech, and facial expressions around others to learn more about and unwind his character.  Chiron's closed body language, his tendency to keep to himself, his blunt (almost miserable) facial expression and his lack of / minimal use of speech reflects on his closed off, distant character. In fact, these factors do not change up until the very end of the movie, making it very difficult for the audience to form a mutual connect

Sound video and feedback

feedback from others: Good use of clips. Good use of parallel sounds. Significant example of contrapuntal sound and parallel sound and sound bridge music overlapping in other scenes was used. The sound track perfectly matched the pace of the video. You had a range of different clips from different genres to show contrapuntal sound as well as parallel sound. Good transitions throughout the video. Music was parallel at the end. The contrapuntal scene matched the pace of the video. Good transitions made it smooth. The music contrasted with the horror scenes and it went well with the sad scenes. A good sound bridge was used in the video. Good use of contrapuntal at the beginning which transitions to parallel. There was a variety of genres which included contrapuntal sound in the video. Good contrapuntal scene, but could be parallel. Sound bridge from one sequence to the other. Montage of crying faces and variety of genres such as parallel, shows how much effect

Media Awards Film Reviews

cinematography, mise-en-scene (CLAMPS), sound, editing. click Their were many aspects of mise- en-scene in the film such as appropriate  setting for the action scenes as they shot the main scene on the roof top. The actors played their part very well i the film their movement   were very clean and accurate when we see them getting shot. One of my favourite prop was the gun as it was used very effectively in the film, not too much of it was exposed and not too little it was just the right amount it. My favourite aspect of the film was the sound as it matched the action scenes very (parallel sound) well and increased the impact of the action scenes. Voice of Void Voice of Void was one other film that had excellent use of   voice-over dialogue . The   voice over   had a very powerful effect on the way the   audience   perceived the   story   and  the two main   characters ; by hearing the   story-line   from the hitman's point of view (although this may have decreased t

Sound Project

the video I made today was created by clipping different parts of movie clips together over music

Film and TV language:sound

clockwork orange: In this clip their is a use of diegetic as we hear one of the characters narrating his thoughts in the background. The director has chosen classical music in a very violent and insane scene. this is known as contrapuntal sound. As the scene changes from the actors walking towards the camera to a very violent scenes the background music stays the same this helps the scenes to change smoothly. The way the  dialogues were spoken were very softly and calmly which contrasts with the violent scene. Funny games: diegetic and non-diegetic sounds were both included in the clip. We could hear classical music(opera) being played in the car as well as dialogue being spoken  from the characters. towards the end the end scene we hear rock music being played which its unusual as how different it is from the one being played before also it doesn't associate with he current scene, this is known as contrapuntal sound. Life On Mars: The sound effects in this were used t

Film Noir Research

In this clip their isa use of high key lighting and top lighting. high key lighting haps make the scene appear more realistic and a sense of natural light the use of top lighting accentuates the actors facial features and makes them appear more glamorous, in the back ground their are lamp that are lit around the are this also creates  a sense of natural light and creates some shadows. Film noir:  A cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas. Active in early 1940's and late 1950's. Fil noir sally included seductive femme fatale  the setting in these movies were usually run down and threatening  The elements of a good film noir would be an investigator a criminal and a female Every element was used to increase the drama and reality

Lighting:still image analysis

 Top lighting is used in this picture and their is also a hint of natural light from a potentional widow above, as their is no other type of lighting used for e.g. key light or back light. the effect created is very natural, dewy and almost very dreamy high key lighting has been used in this picture to make the character appear more realistic, their is also a hint of back lighting to define the actors silhouette, under lighting has also been used to create shadow on his face, the effect of this is that the character appear as the main protagonist .  Low key lighting, top lighting and under lighting has been used in this picture. The result of that is that the gun the character is holding is highlighted and so is the rain in the background which creates a some what fatal atmosphere. Low key lighting has been used in this picture which creates a very dramatic shadow behind the character to  intensify the horror scene. low key lighting has been used to cr
