Cinematography video feedback/learner response

1) Type up your feedback/comments from your teacher.

  • Absolutely outstanding - I loved it!
  • Superbly creative interpretation of the brief, excellent labelling of shots and angles/movement
  • Sound and mise-en-scene also excellent. superb work!

2) Type up your feedback from fellow students.

  • Great labelling
  • Good camera shots/angles/use of environment
  • Great Actors/sounds/editing
  • Good narrative/creative
  • Some actors laughing
  • (Perfect)

3) Now reflect on your work and write your own summary of the comments and feedback you have received. Write three WWWs and three EBIs.

WWW:
  • Labelled all the camera angles/shots and movements really well
  • Creative use of mise-en-scene to create narrative
  • Really good editing that amplified the comedic qualities
EBI:
  • Need challenge myself even more to use angles in more creative ways
  • Be a better director (actors laughing)
  • Have it meet the brief exactly at 1 minute
4) Learner response: think about what you learned about cinematography making the video and also watching others. What will you do differently when you start the coursework in the summer? What tips or tricks have you learned from others that you can use next time? Are there any specific aspects of camerawork that you need to revise or practice?

I think that from this practical use of cinematography has shown me that using camera shots can convey different things about the narrative and overall theme of certain scenes while also establishing the characters as either important and someone we should sympathise with or someone who isn't that important or will play a certain role while the focus of certain parts through different camera shots can convey how the narrative will be driven.

For my future coursework i definitely want to improve my editing but focusing on the cinematography of the coursework I would like to use more extreme and creative ways of using camera shots to convey certain feelings and distinct narrative that allows for the audience to really immerse themselves into the creation.

What i really liked was the use of the still image of thhe selfie in one of the productions that had been shown as it adds some comedic value to their text while also establishing that its not meant to be taken to seriously which I like as it allows the audience to take that scene however they want as either being a statistical murderer who keeps mementos of his murders or just a picture portrayed in a comedic light within something that feels much more horror like.

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...
