Cinematography video feedback/learner response

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

WWW:

  • Good location
  • Appropriate music
  • Simple effective angle
  • Use if close ups
  • OTS + Long shot
  • Good fade at the end
EBI:
  • More developed narrative


2) Type up your feedback from fellow students.
WWW:
  • Good editing
  • Range of shots and angles
  • Song choice
  • Use of setting
  • Transitions
EBI:
  • High exposure
  • No narrative

3) Now reflect on your work and write your own summary of the comments and feedback you have received. Write three WWWs and three EBIs.
For my WWW I was able to get a range of different shots and angles as much as I can, I was able to put transitions and choose a song that is parallel to the scene and the narrative, which is upbeat and optimistic. For my EBI, I could have done better if I have a more developed narrative to be more creative and if I checked the editing and recording before posting it as it came out too bright and the exposure was high. 

4) Learner response: think about what you learned about cinematography making the video and also watching others. What will you do differently when you start the coursework in the summer? What tips or tricks have you learned from others that you can use next time? Are there any specific aspects of camerawork that you need to revise or practice?
I learned that camerawork and angles are important when trying to communicate meaning to audiences as well as trying to show audiences who's perspective it is. For my coursework I could add a more developed narrative that could come out creative where I could apply enigma or actions codes. The tips that I have learned could be the idea of the match action, where the two clips are connected but from different angles or positions of cameras. I could also use the idea of shot-reverse-shot as well as the zooming out while moving closer to a character or an object using a dolly. The camerawork that I need to revise or practice could be the tracking shot or crane shot as I feel like I haven't used these as much.

Mise-en-scene recreation

  1. Sanjivani and Zoha 2. CLAMPS Costume: -One of the female character, the damsel in distress is wearing a blue cardigan which connotes her casualty and how she seems to be comfortable. -One of the male character, the sidekick of the villain is wearing a white shirt which connotes his attempt to be formal, however the shirt has a blood stain on it which could connote violence and how brutal he is behind his formality which could be the binary opposition of peacefulness and rebellion. -One of the female character, the antagonist is wearing a full black duster which could connote her mysteriousness which could be represented as the enigma codes of the movie as well reinforcing the idea of her being the villain. Lighting: -The low key lighting around the screen could connote the enigma codes and how there's a lingering danger around the damsel in distres s.  -The high key lighting when the antagonist is revealed could reinforce the revelation of the identity of the vil...

Lighting blog task

Image
  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?      1. Low-key lighting connoting enigma, where the light focuses on the smoke which could connote that she could be hiding something. 2. The lighting seems to be coming from the back or side of the female character to kind of emphasise her facial expression which could also suggest that she's the villain. 3.The effects created by lighting could be the idea that she's the villain due to the light not being totally directed at her which could connote that she may have a dual character or the idea that she could be hiding something. 1. It is a low-key lighting, connoting...

WWW: Very good parallel section Good choice of images Use of dissolves Good pace of editing Videos and still images Own images and footage EBI: Contrapuntal section not clear 2) Type up your feedback from fellow students - you can summarise key points if several students give you similar feedback. WWW: Good variety of images and videos Use of music/editing Exactly one minute long Good use of parallel sound Own images EBI: Contrapuntal could be more clear Make the images on beat to the song 3) Now reflect on your work and write your own evaluation of your video. Write a 'What went well' (WWW) paragraph and a paragraph for 'Even Better If' (EBI) underneath the rest of your feedback. What went well on my video was that I was able to make a one minute video where I used a variety of my own image and footage. I was also able to manage to use the parallel sound clearly and the editing where I used transitions for the video. It...
