High-Key and Low-Key Lighting Low-key lighting  is created by using only the key and back lights.  This effect produces strong contrasts of light and dark and creates dramatic shadows.  The effect is known as chiaroscuro, which comes from the Italian words for light (chiaro) and dark (oscuro). High-key lighting  means that more filler lights are used.  The effect appears more realistic and might depict either a sunny day or a more dimly lit scene.  The major difference is that, although shadows are still created, the contrast between light and dark is much less pronounced.   Identify examples of  high  and  low-key  lighting.

1. Q: What do you think the film is about and what might the storyline be?why? What genre(s) do you think the film belongs to?why? 3.Who do you think is the target audience? why? 1. I think the film is about a policeman who fights crime and I think the story is set in the future because there's a flying car and the buildings look futuristic. The reason why I think the man is a cop is because in the poster the car looks like a police car and the man is holding a gun so they seem to correlate perfectly, I think the woman is his partner because they are put together. 2. I think the genre this film belongs to is action, sci-fi. The reason why I think the film belongs to those genres is because that's a flying car and it looks futuristic so it has to be sci-fi, I think the movie is a action film because the man is holding a gun and that pretty much explains action. 3. I think the target audience is 18+ because the film looks like it contains a lot of

A reminder of our notes on Sound: Sound is incredibly important to our understanding of a film.  The music, dialogue and sound effects (SFX) all contribute to the way we appreciate what we are watching on the screen.     Diegetic and non-diegetic sound Diegetic  sound comes from the world of the film we are watching.  This could include dialogue by characters in the scene or music or other sound that comes from a source we would naturally expect that sound to come from, e.g. a radio or TV. Non-diegetic  sound is added during post production, e.g. voice over or music sound track. Parallel and contrapuntal sound Parallel  sound is music we would normally expect to hear accompanying a scene, e.g. soft romantic music might be played over a love scene. Contrapuntal  sound is music that we don’t normally associate with the scene we are watching, e.g. classical music played over a bloody fight scene. Sound bridge Sometimes you will notice that sound fr

Blade Runner 2049 review – a gigantic spectacle of pure hallucinatory craziness I agree with what "Peter Bradshaw" has to say about Blade runner 2049 and I think his review on the movie is well thought out. His review, however kind of spoils the movie to people who have not seen it. Blade Runner 2049 review – a future classic This review basically spoils the whole movie. However, I can see that "Mark Kermode" knows his stuff because he has showed that the movie has referenced with other movies and he can explain in detail about the aspects of the movies that are similar. ‘I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe’: what Blade Runner 2049’s dystopia tells us about 2017 This review by "Steve Rose" is well thought out and does not spoil the movie. It briefly explains the aspects of the movie and explains what parts of the movies connect with the conventions of the genre but does not spoil the movie. I can tell that this person knows a lot about t

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 opening credits. The opening scene is taken in worms eye view. However, it is also taken in a long shot because you can see Groot's whole body. This is also a establishing shot because whilst he is dancing, you can see the background and the setting. The camera zooms out so when a character is talking, they can see the whole body of that character. At 1:30 it is a medium shot because you can only see groots waist. It then moves back to the long shot. The whole scene is shot on a dolly. The angle would be low angle because it is fairly low and it is also slightly aiming upwards, showing the chaos behind Groot's dancing. The camerawork gives the audience hints on what is happening in the background and show's the chaos whilst Groot is contently dancing, it also show's that the characters that are fighting know groot but are too busy to stop him from dancing because they are busy. The camerawork also show's how they are fighting a bi
