camera movement and editing chase scene:            chose 3 aspects of camera movements                                                  1. from 1:05 to 1:08 i believe that it is a tracking shot and the write chose it to make the audience feel like they are involved and participating with the film as the camera stops acting with the camera and starts working with your eyes 2. from 1:09-1:14 there is a tracking shot with severe shaking. it makes you feel like an eyewitness as your brain thinks of this as an unstable shake and traps you in the escape. 3. from the point 1:14 and onwards they use a whip pan to re centre the action. it makes it feel like a whiplash as the camera has to keep up with the movement forcing you to actively be aware of anything that might happen or pop up in the environment. 2 aspects of editing: the editor cuts...

lighting                             the lighting of the opening scene of 'the empire strikes' is a cool blue and black . The black has high contrast so when the viewers look into it they see nothing but darkness where as the tone of blue mimics moonlights and empty spaces . the yellow is like a stage , if the character steps into it they are completely exposed to whatever is hiding in the shadows this could lead to the audience feeling anxiety as they have no idea what's going to happen and what's in the shadows behind him. they could also feel claustrophobic as most of the scene is dark it makes them feel trapped and uneasy. costume:                              the costume of these 2 characters in the opening are covering almost all their body's and are all black in this scene. the colour use of black could suggest that this is something mys...

  WWW: Giti, you’ve made a promising start to Media Studies this half-term, please continue to keep this up. For example, your ‘Film Poster’ analysis blog really demonstrates your use of media subject terminology in your analysis. You are also showcasing your technical ability as evidenced in your ‘Introduction to Photoshop’ blog task where you can use Adobe Photoshop CC 2026 to a good standard, your choice of      image and colour palette helped complete this task well. EBI: Make sure that you are uploading images to each blog post where necessary e.g. ‘Denotation and Connotation’ you need to add the WaterAid advert to your blog. The ‘Mise-en-scene’ blog post may have been improved if you screenshot some of the areas of CLAMPS you were referring to.   LR: 1. Create a new blogpost on your Media blog called ‘Blog feedback and Learner Response’. Copy and paste this WWW/EBI feedback into your blogpost 2. Add in the WaterAid advert image to your ‘Denotation and Con...

  medium close-up shot this medium close up shot could prove the point that she is important as it dims the background making the whole focus only on her. It also shows that she is mad as the camera is directly at her eye level. two shot this two shot can show that they are working together and are a team . they are both positioned in the same eye length and have the same expressions implying that they are worried about something . over the shoulder shot this over the shoulder shot could show that they are busy and working something important as they are showing what they are doing and they have a cluttered desk. they are revealing the actions. high angles this high angle shows that they are scared but determined as the angle looks down at them and makes them look vulnerable but them looking at the angle makes them seem determined as if they're ready to face any threat that's coming mise en scene the background of this scene is a warm yellow and looks comfortable suggesting tha...
