Media Awards - Tasks

My 3 favourite films from media awards:

MRS POTATOHEAD:
I enjoyed watching this short music video/film because the video showed a deeper meaning that the song was synonymous with. The music video also suited the lyrics of the song and the clip went accordingly. The clip that showed the acapella of the 4 girls singing was really interesting too as it made them seem like they were the person actually singing.



EARTHQUAKE:
I really liked this one because of the time and effort he put into making it. The video suited the lyrics of the song except for the part where I was in it because when we were recording it. he just asked me to do whatever and I didn't know how it ended up untill he showed me the video when his assignment was due. What I enjoyed the most was when I was recording him with the camera and he thought of a really good idea to move the camera in sync with his hand which makes him look like he was controlling the camera. The cinematics were really great too.



CLICK:
This film was interesting because it featured stop motion and it was the only film out of every film in the media awards that was an action film. What I really liked was that they used stop motion to support the story and I could tell they had to put a lot of effort into doing that because I could see in the background that it was darker than it was in the previous clip which would have meant they spent a lot of time trying to get it right. The introduction part was the best because it showed how the detective discovered his power and how he uses it.

Keywords: Costume Lighting Actor (placement and movement) Make-up Props Setting Kingsman: The costume the people are wearing are all old style christian texas clothing except for the main actor with the gun who is wearing a suit. The lighting is ambient and uses natural light instead of artificial light that is usually a whiter colour. The actor is in front of the woman with a gun in his hand and pointing it at her face, the people in the back are intimidated and some are scared, they all look like they are going to attack the man in the suit (you can tell by their facial expression). The woman and some of the people probably would have had some foundation on their face to make it reflect light and so it looks as if they are slightly sweating which gives us a hindsight on how the atmosphere is in there. The setting looks to be in a church and in texas. Scene from pulp fiction: genre: thriller. Scene from shawshank redemption: genre: Drama Scene from Stephen Ki...

Editing: blog task

Key terminology for editing: Transitions Continuity editing Montage Pace Juxtaposition Continuity editing Most editing of narrative film is continuity editing.  This is when shots are placed logically so that one event follows on from the next.  We, as the audience, automatically try to make sense of one shot joining the next one.  For example, if we see an exterior shot of a school and the following shot is a classroom, we assume that the classroom is inside the school building we saw in the previous shot.   Transitions A straight cut is the most common method and the audience are so accustomed to seeing these that we rarely notice them when they occur. A fade out – the screen fades to black. A dissolve - one image blurs into the next. A wipe – one part of the screen wipes across the other. A jump cut – an unexpected edit where the audience’s attention is forced to focus on something very suddenly.   Pace The speed at wh...

Editing video task and learner response

Learner respone: From Mr Halsey Moa: No SRS: No 180 °: Yes Nice opening shot with smooth camera movement-often a rare sight in student productions. Continuity editing/match-on-action just isn't there. The flick to black screen ruins any sense of continuity I don't like the huge text on screen-you should be able to tell a simple story without resorting to this. At one point,continuity is completely wrong-0:33, the edit seems like match-on-action but the character changes no dialogue, no shot-reverse-shot I'm afraid this doesn't meet the brief at all As stated by Mr Halsey, i didn't meet the brief, however, this is because I had less information and I didn't know how the planning went for the clips that I used in my video that I edited. The three editing techniques I learnt is that: There has to be continuity otherwise the audience may be confused. It's better when you're the person who knows the story line but the audience need to be ab...
