Film Language: Cinematography


Rambo First blood: 
The film begins with and establishing shot near a bridge which shows more scecnery than the actaul actors which lets you get a picture of the shot. Furthermore, in the shot you can see that they are in a abounded position and this may be because the man in the car is trying to migrate to another position. This lets the audience see how the film is going to being and why the story has begun here in the fisrt place.
the Long shot showing him go back towards the bridge showing that he did'int listen to the cop who dropped him off as he walks back they way first came through. Furthermore, the long shot has made the character look much more smaller which could be because he is going to be less dominate in a later when he has another run in with the cops. Therefore this long shot scene give the effect that he is a vulnerable.

Blog Feedback

WWW: Great to see some work – I assumed it would be a technical issue rather than a failure to complete the tasks! You’ve clearly engaged with the texts and have chosen some interesting films and images for the mise-en-scene task. The challenge now is to take this positive start and add the depth of analysis that will take you to the higher grades in Media.


EBI: Firstly, you are still missing a few bits of work (unless I’ve missed them): Film Noir research and the lighting images are not complete (some only have the questions under them). Obviously we’ve had blog issues but I’d like you to sort this out by Friday.
My main concern is actually your written English – it is the main thing currently that will hold you back from an A-C grade in Media. Your spelling is poor – “Creed: From the charters attire” suggests a lack of attention to detail or proofreading. Similarly, you don’t always use capital letters which is unacceptable at this level. A Level study demands a level of literacy that your blog isn’t currently demonstrating – it’s absolutely crucial that you address this urgently. One area that will certainly help in this regard is reading high-quality journalism regularly. If you regularly read extended news stories from a respected news organisation such as the Guardian then you will find the accuracy of your own writing will start to improve.

LR: Firstly, make sure you catch up with the missing work by the end of this week. Then, for your LR, reflect on your first month of Film Language. What is your strongest piece of work so far? What is your weakest? What specific skills or knowledge do you need to develop over the rest of the course?

Film Noir

Film Noir is type of genre that has many different types of aspects that gives the film the genre "film noir" and this includes shadows , smoke (just like in the still image) this gives the film that entice felling of the shadows that it creates with in the lighting of the image. Furthermore in Film Noir they have female characters who manly wear some sort of red clothing or make up which is a color scheme to shes the attractive seductive women within the world of Film Noir these females in this specific genre mainly plays a part to morph a mans mind to ultimately make him fall for her. Finally, they are always dark and have some sort of detective who is solving a big scandal which mainly leads up to the female which seduces him to be put of track to solve the mystery because she has a part in the crime.

Sound Task

Clock work orange: From the Short clip it has the effect of being calm and cooling and has no problem just seems like a gang who are all together like brothers in arms. This is accompanied by a orchestral track in the background and the voice over of the middle man the voice over suggest that he has a . Even-though they are together they still have a barrier that can be noticed with the voice over because the dialogue spoken by the General could be a suggestion he sees discipline through pain . In addition to this i assume the speaker is the middle man who just goes obscene because the seemed parallel to song in the background. Therefore, when the middle man smacks the man on the left he makes the clip which is synced with the instrumental is just disturbing. This makes the song seem nothing like the clip it is known to be contrapuntal sound because the song that is accompanied with the clip this is assumed to be calm and made for people more upper class or people who have common sense as they are not of a worthy people. This makes the people watching feel like they uncomfortable this is because the sound does not play very well with the clip which is noticed of the seconded half of the scene. The first half of the clip was still parallel to the video this is only because they where preserved to be like upper class a group of adults who where going to go play polo but very mildly pointing that is because they are wearing clothes that do not look anything close to posh. That is because the mise-en-scene declares that they have been seen by the wrong prescription from my own prospective.
