Camera movement and editing: blog tasks

1) Pick three aspects of camera movement in the Minority Report clip. Identify the type of camera movement and write about why the director chose to use that camera movement in the scene and what effect it has on the audience. 2) Pick two aspects of editing in the Minority Report clip and write about what effect it has on the audience. 3) Finally, revise last week's work on camerawork by picking out two shots or camera angles in the clip that communicate meaning to the audience.

Camera shots

 At 0:32  , a two shot angle is shown. This increases the tention because too people are together and it shows there chemistry together.  At 1:12 a close up angle is shown.This forces the audience to focus on the characters specific emotions or facial expressions. Created more intensity and helps audience feel more connected.  At 2:18, an over the shoulder shot is shown. this creaated a sense of perspective making the audience feel like they are apart of the conversation.

  I used a picture of the earth for the colour palette. I chose the picture of the earth because I found it really interesting to me because of the different colours and shades on the picture. I found this task fun but I had a little bit of trouble with some things and accidently deleting my whole work. I chose the world "Earth" because it stood out to me. 

mise-en-scene

Costume: Will is wearing normal 1980s clothes. This shows he is just a normal kid. It makes the audience feel bad for him when he gets in danger. Lighting: The woods are very dark and its hard to see. This makes it scary because we dont know what is hiding in the dark. It makes the audience feel nervous. Setting: Will is riding his bike through the woods at night. The woods are dark and empty which makes it seem dangerous. It makes the audience think something bad is going to happen. Props: Will has a bike and he uses it to get home. The bike shows he is just a normal kid. When he is trying to get away it makes the scene more tense. Actor placement/movement/expression: Will looks scared and rides his bike fast because he thinks something is following him. This makes the audience feel worried for him and wonder what is chasing him. Make-up: Will looks like a normal kid and his face shows he is scared. This helps the audience understand how he feels.

The water aid advert communicates meaning to an audience for people to help them. There's a young boy who looks dehydrated and it says dig toilets not graves implying that a lot of people die and it may be caused due to the diarrhoea and poor sanitation. It may communicate to the audience for charity work, and the land is dry and it looks really hot so there may be problems with climate change, the clothes that the child is wearing looks damaged or ripped.  The cigarette advert communicates to an audience of smokers warning them on how cancer starts. The mutation growing on the cigarette warns them on what will start growing on their body. The lighted cigarette represent them lighting a new cigarette showing they are not listening to the advice that's given to them. The beard and grey hair probably represents they are a old/grown man so they've probably been smoking for a long time.

language :                                                                                                                                                    we can also tell its a film poster because of the artwork on the front cover.   we can tell the theme is horror /supernatural because of the hand,   it doesn't look like a normal persons hands. You can see the women  is holding a  rosary and looking up to her God praying for a way out  because the creature is holding her neck, chocking her.  It has a lot of dark colours, symbolising dark shadows and bloody colours symbolising red...
