9. Sound video feedback and learner response

 Teacher feedback:

WWW: Exactly one minute 

             The quick fade between images = good edit 

             Strobe edit to contrapuntal

             Good editing at start/end fades to black and sound fades in/out

     

     EBI: Some shots on screen too long



Class feedback:

WWW: Good editing 

            Matches brief

            Sound well chosen

            Sound matches parallel 

            Transition between Parallel and Contrapuntal


    EBI: Faster pace (some photos stayed up for too long)



Self reflection:

WWW:  I believe that my choice of theme worked well and the parallel aspect matched the sound well. I also believe that my editing at the start and the end was good as I made the sound fade in/out which made it less choppy by getting rid of the abrupt ending that would've been there if I hadn't added that. I also liked how I used the edit in between the contrapuntal and parallel as I feel it made it clearer to the audience where the switch was.


EBI: I agree with the majority of feedback which suggested I should've used a faster pace as it didn't go as smoothly with the song as it could've done, the photos were on the screen for varied lengths rather than all being equal which could be due to extending the clips as a group rather than individually which is something I should fix for next time.



Learner Response:

I believe that the top 3 videos were 1) Olivia's 2) Dyari's  3) Laiyla's.

My favourite video was Olivia's as she demonstrated a good use of contrapuntal and parallel sound and her video also matched the pace of the song which showed attention to detail. She also used an introduction which was quite unique as nobody else did it and I think it worked well with it matching the beat and letting the audience know what it is that the videos about.

Using their work as an example, I could've improved my work by improving the pace of my video and making it match better with the pace of the sound as they  did very well in theirs.


Importance of sound

From this task I've learnt that sound is important in media as it can completely change the way the audience receives the text and what meaning they take from it, the sound can turn an innocent simple scene into a dark and tension filled scene simply by changing the non diegetic sound.

4. Mise-en-scene recreation

Costumes The first character who hands over the paper is wearing a suit so I had one of my actors in a suit. Lighting The clip has high key natural light so I filmed the scene outside to recreate this. Actors expressions Throughout the scene the characters display feelings of confusion, excitement and shock. I believe my actors were able to accurately display these feelings through the use of facial expressions and tones. Makeup The characters had blood on their face and to recreate this I used fake blood which created a similar look to the characters in the movie  Props In the movie the main prop is the document which is handed to the characters for which I used a sheet of paper and a pen. The script: Man in suit  Sign here. Hands over paper. Michael Wait...Hold on a second. You guys got my license back? Sonia You just signed the adoption papers. Darius The what? Michael The adoption papers? Sonia You are now our son. Both stand. Darius + Michael  Wait what the fuck!? Th...

10. Cinematography Practical

Image
In my cinematography practical ‘Glimpse’ I used cinematography and other aspects of media that we’ve learnt to build a narrative about a man walking somewhere he shouldn’t be and he is then stalked and hunted by a mysterious non-human killer. I used cinematography to build tension and create an eerie atmosphere by using pov shots to make the audience feel as though they’re the ones fighting by letting them see through the eyes of the characters. Shot List: Establishing/Extreme Long Shot - show setting  Very long shot - Main character walks into frame  High angle long shot - character continues walking off screen low angle long shot - shows power of antagonist character medium long shot medium shot - more detail of antagonist  Long shot  Long shot zooms in to medium close up - shows characters expression/feeling Long shot pan - character runs away  Big close up - show what character is looking at/afraid of long shot - character runs away two shot - antagonist cat...
