 1) Discuss what your preliminary exercise will involve – make notes on your blogpost of location, sequence of events, casting etc.

Location: Classroom

Casting:  Ishmeet-Evil Aunty 1

                Anas- Evil Aunty 2

Events: - Gossip over tea


2) Write a short script for the preliminary exercise. Remember, scripts outline movement and shots as well as dialogue. The BBC Writer's Room is a brilliant resource for tips and examples of TV scriptwriting. Here's a genuine TV script example from Luther to check you are formatting your script correctly.

                                                 SCRIPT

     
Ishmeet enters the room, she sits down.
Both her and Anas pull out their tea from tea from their bags.

                                                  ANAS
                               Aunty Ishmeet lovely to see you!

Anas gives a dirty look.

                                                  ANAS( INTERVIEW)
                              You know she threw her daughter down the stairs tut tut.

                                                  ISHMEET
                               Hi nice to see you.
Ishmeet grits her teeth.

                                                  ISHMEET( INTERVIEW)
                    
                                I don't really like her, you know her daughter talks to boys I saw
                                them last night they-

She gets cut off.

                                                  ANAS
                                I hear your daughter had a tragic accident.
   
                                                 ISHMEET
                               Oh you know how kids are these days they're always on their
                                phones.

                                                 ANAS
                               Oh who are we to judge.

Their voices fade.
Multiple sots of them gossiping.
Both aunties look at Khaterah entering the room in shock.

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.

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
