Video feedback/learner response

Teacher Feedback:
  •  Great title!
  • Really good choice of song and parallel section works perfectly-great section of classic clips too!
  • Contrapuntal section works but i wonder if it could have signalled the switch a little more clearly
  • Some great editing touches-the gunshot into the bridge explosion at the end particularly good
Class Feedback:
  • Good song choice
  • Matched very well to clips
  • Amazing editing
  • Better variety of scenes
  • Clear for when the parallel changed to contrapuntal 

WWW: I think that my editing of the clips went really well and fit to the briefing to create a video with parallel and contrapuntal scenes, while also the choice of music allowed me to clearly establish the happy go lucky vibe i was trying to create at the start to compare and contrast to the more 'gory' and unpleasant scenes in the contrapuntal section.

EBI: I could have used a larger variety of scenes that did not all come from the walking dead and i could have made the transition from parallel to contrapuntal much clearer than i might have first expected it to be.

4. I think that cassius' was one of the best as it definitely created that distinction between the contrapuntal and parallel and the scenes used were really enjoyable to watch with the music of i like to move it move it. 

5. I have found that through the use of diegetic, non-diegetic, parallel and contrapuntal uses of sound that different themes and connotations can be crafted in order to portray a certain feeling, atmosphere, narrative and even setting/time period allowing for the audience to fully immerse themselves within a text through its use of sound.

Marxism & hegemony: blog tasks

Task 1: Mail Online review of Capital 1) Re-read the  Mail Online review of  Capital . Why does it suggest that  Capital  features a left-wing ideology? Capital was as stuffed full with fashionable causes as Jeremy Corbyn’s function diary. 2) Choose  three  quotes from the review that are particularly critical of  Capital  and paste them into your blogpost. Do you agree with the criticisms? Why? 'With a fizzle like a firework on a wet night, Capital (BBC1) dribbled to a soggy ending.' 'the crime was handed from one cardboard character to the next. That’s not a whodunnit, it’s a cop-out.' 'Everything British came in for a dose of loathing' I think that some of the criticism is fair and that Capital did feel like it did not come to a satisfying conclusion as you might think it would from the stress and fears of the characters in the first episode and are wrapped up in a way that feels like it was done for the sake of just getting the series done and...

Blinded By The Light: case study

Background and Production 1) What is the story behind the production of the film? is a rites of passage comedy drama directed by  Gurinder Chadha , who also directed  Bend It Like Beckham . Set in 1987, it revisits Manzoor's teenage years and much of it is directly based on real events. One unlikely consequence of this is that his teenage friendship with Amolak has now been immortalised – not something either of them could have imagined in their wildest dreams. 2) What was the audience reaction to the film? audiences found personal connections to the story. I could not have predicted that Israeli women in Jerusalem, white teenage American boys in Omaha, Nebraska and older white women in Australia who had seen the film would all contact me on social media and thank me for telling their story. I had not expected to be approached, at screenings from Glasgow to Seattle, by people who seemingly had nothing in common with the protagonist but said they had connected emotionally with ...

Deutschland 83: case study

  Introduction: Reviews and features Read the following reviews and features on  Deutschland 83 : The Guardian - Your next box set: Deutschland 83 The Guardian - Deutschland 83 Pity the Germans don't like it 1) Find one positive aspect and one criticism of  Deutschland 83  in the reviews. created an irresistible export: a funky exercise in pop nostalgia underpinned by actual events.  It’s a perfect moment in a near-perfect series 2) Why does the second Guardian article suggest the Germans didn't like the show? By focusing the story around Martin Rauch, a young East German border guard going undercover in the west, it doesn’t just make the viewer empathise with a Stasi agent on a human level – in the way The Lives of Others did – it makes us engage with the socialist regime’s worldview, in which a military exercise in West Germany poses a potentially existential threat. 3) Find three 'below the line' comments from either of the Guardian articles. What did th...
