Camera Movement & Editing

 Camera Movement:

1.


This camera movement is called 'Crane', which the director used to track the chase scene that included the police and the main character. The director chose to use this camera movement to create more suspense about whether or not the main character will be caught, as the rest of the police squad was out of shot. This makes the audience curious about the outcome of the chase, causing them to carry on watching.

2.

This camera movement is called 'Zoom' (in), which the director used to create a close-up of the main character's face when he got cornered. The director chose to use this camera movement to express the character's slight fear and agitation at being cornered by the police. This makes the audience hold their breath as they worry for the character, waiting in anticipation for what may unravel next.

3.

This camera movement is called 'Pan', which the director used to create a dramatic atmosphere around the beginning of the chase scene. The director chose to use this camera movement to emphasise the fast-pace and unpredictability of the chase, creating a sense of curiosity about the outcome. This makes the audience invested in this scene, causing them to carry on watching.

Editing

1.

This film transition is called a 'Cut', which was used to change the setting after the main character was identified. This makes the audience feel like the main character is being tracked, or it trying to be caught by the government or police.

2.

This film transition is called a 'Fade', which was used to signify that the chase had finished. This makes the audience feel either relieved that the main character wasn't caught by the police, or disappointed, if they wanted the police to win the chase.

Revision of last lesson

1.

This camera shot is called a 'Close up', which was used to show the main character was creating an escape plan in his mind. This makes the audience tense up and wait in anticipation to see what he will do.

2.

This camera shot is called a 'Medium Close up', which was used to show the innocent child's shock at a police officer and the main character flying into his room through his window. This makes the audience feel sorry for the child's experience and disappointment in the two adults that just disrupted not only this child's room, but other people's houses, previously.

First 10 Questions

  1.   The part of Media that I am looking forward to the most is studying the nine different types of media, that we have on our curriculum. 2.   The skills I hope to learn in Media are critical thinking and learning how to edit different media types. I also hope to refine my analytical skills and hopefully build on my communication skills. 3.   The grade I hope to achieve in Media is a grade 7. While it would be lovely to achieve a grade 8 or 9, I feel like for a student that is only going to be leaning Media Studies for two years before their GCSEs, my expectations are pretty realistic. 4.   The device I use the most to access media is my phone. It's where I watch or read most of the news, use the most social media and watch films or dramas. 5.   My average screentime on my phone is 6 hours. Mainly being made up of using social media such as 'Spotify', 'YouTube', and 'Instagram'. I personally feel like my screentime is a bit too high for a growing teenag...

Key Concepts - film poster analysis

  THE CONJURING (2013)   Language: The poster for 'The Conjuring' has a large, central title which creates an old fashioned, unsettling feel, fitting the supernatural horror theme. The tag line at the top, that references the director's previous horror films, acts as a promotional hook and reinforces the genre. The imagery of a lonely farm house, a dead tree, and a noose hanging ominously from a branch communicate death, danger, and a paranormal haunting without presenting any characters. The matted, foggy colour palette adds to the eerie atmosphere, while the release date and age rating at the bottom confirm that this is a commercial film poster designed to attract cinema audiences. Industries: The poster highlights the director, James Wan, who is already well known for major horror franchises like 'Saw' and 'Insidious'. This is a deliberate industry strategy as using a recognisable name helps appeal to existing fans of the genre. Although the poster doesn...

Introduction to Photoshop

  I chose the colour palette of Autumn because the colour scheme feels warm and welcoming, and my favourite season is Autumn. To create this colour palette I used a photograph of a calm river in Kyoto, during Autumn months. I chose this photograph because I have always wanted to visit Japan, Kyoto and Tokyo specifically, especially in Autumn. I found the task quite easy, only having a bit of technical troubles with making my colour palette. If I would do anything differently, then I would probably use a different theme and photograph. My second option would most likely be the theme of Winter, as I adore falling snow, and the calmness that it brings.
