8. Sound analysis

 



In this scene from 'Full Metal Jacket' we can hear the diegetic sound such as the gun shots, tanks firing and the dialogue between the soldiers. We can also hear a contrapuntal sound track which was added post production making it non diegetic. The non diegetic sound is contrapuntal because the music used is upbeat and almost something you'd expect to hear in a cartoon whereas the scene is of the war between US and Vietnam which is full of violence and death meaning we wouldn't expect to hear the song 'Surfing Bird' a song people use to dance to. We also have a subtle sound bridge where we hear the machine gun firing before we see the man shooting it on top of the tank as the camera slowly pans towards it.

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...

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...
