Editing video feedback and learner response

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

-Creative, entertaining, funny-lots going on here!
-Some great editing though not quite on brief-e.g the speeded up shots of the props being taken out.
-Middle section is more of a montage but works very well a this.
-Definitely a few YouTube influenced elements!
-Does meet the editing skills in the brief but perhaps needed a little more basic continuity editing.

2) Type up your feedback from fellow students.

3) Now reflect on your video. Did you meet the brief and successfully include the three key editing aspects we have learned?

I think i somewhat met the brief as i was able to include some match-on-action and the reverse shots. However i did notice afterwards that there was not much continuity and i partially broke the 180 rule by filming the medium shot from the wrong side.

4) What were the strengths and weaknesses of your final film? Write a detailed analysis picking out specific shots, edits and any other aspect of film language you think is relevant.

I believe my strengths was coming up with a narrative as me and my group were able to quickly set one up o agreements and be able to include a lot of props. Editing also went well where i was able to use the influence of YouTube to put sound effects and music into my film. This could be see where there is a reverse shot of Anas and Ishmeet talking during the montage. There was some aspects like meeting the brief that i think i struggled on as my continuity was a bit off and following the 180 degree rule was difficult as well as confusing when my characters where talking.

5) Learner response: what aspect of editing did you find most difficult? What have you learned from this process that will help you when you start the actual coursework later this year?

The aspect of editing that i found most difficult but didn't relies till screening was following the 180 degree rule. Filming a reverse shot between the two characters looked simple but however when zooming out and focusing on a medium or long shot it could easily break the rule. I filmed from the wrong side of the shoulders making the film look confusing to my audience. When i am doing my course work next year, i will be more careful ad plan out the shots in order to carefully follow these rules.

Marxism & hegemony

  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? The review of capital suggests that it has a left-wing ideology through the diverse range of characters showcased in the episodes, using immigrants and promoting ideas of equality. 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? 'The hardest worker on the street was an illegal immigrant, determined to pay her way and not touch a penny of benefits. She was deported, though she did find time to teach English to some of her fellow saints at the detention centre.' -This just empathises how immigrants are seen as the most hardworking and determined to get payed even if they work illegally in order to pay for her overcrowded family. 'The last 20 minutes contained no plot. Whatever story there had ever been was over.

Mise-en-scene

Image
    1) Find a distinctive   still image   and write an analysis of the mise-en-scene. Use each of the aspects you've learned in the lesson.  The women is seen to be wearing a wedding dress as if she is about to get married or has just made her vows. The colour of white can connote her innocence and youth as wedding are seen as sacred. However the props of a gun and bullet contrast with this idea as they appeal the thought of violence and destruction. This harsh difference highlights how an unexpected event has caused for the bride to have become a solider at war. The setting show a dim living room lit by candles to reveal the genre of horror or thriller. This lighting is able to outline her messy hair and show her torn and dirtied dress. Her make-up seems to be purposely been created to be dark, smudged and quite dirty looking to reflect her hardship she might have gone through or an unexpected event that has occurred making her emotionless and perhaps traumatised. Overall this fem

Lighting blog tasks

  1) Still image analysis Look at the still images on slides 33-37 of the Film Language Powerpoint linked above. Copy the images into your blog and answer the following questions for  each  image: Identify examples of  high  and  low-key  lighting. Say which depict  top ,  back  or  under lighting . What  effects  are created by the lighting in each image?      Image 1:  This image shows a female with low key lighting and is includes both back and top lighting. This creates dramatic shadows across her face and is able to reveal the smoke released from her cigar. This lighting also covers the location reinforcing genre of mystery and crime. Image 2: This is low key with top lighting. This can suggest how the blackness is taking over as her facial features are the only part lit up. This can also show genre of noir from the female. Image 3: This image can be a mix of high and low key as there is a contrast on his face while there is soft lighting surrounding him to show how he is outdoors
