Evaluation Q1: Planning

Media A2 Analysis:

Q1:

• Textual analysis of camera, editing, sound and mise-en-sene (of our own video/print)

Camera: (will show stills from our film)

• Many shots were used in our short film:

• CU: Show character’s facial expression/emotions
• Wide shot: show full body(costume), as well as the background/scenery
• Medium shot: used to show body language
• Handheld shots: we’ve used handheld shots during scenes that show movement and urgency(the ‘chase scene’) à makes the audience feel as though they are part of the scene

Editing:

• Colour correction
• Making use of cropping to create a shutter-like effect
• Video effects to create ominous atmosphere, e.g. bad tv effect (whenever slenderman-like character appeared)

• Case Studies

à Comparison with case studies (can be any real media products that relate)

• Critical theory

à analyse/consider narrative, representation, post-modernism

à two types: linear, and non-linear

à linear: has a clear beginning, middle and end

à non-linear: Will not have a  " " - non chronological, concurrent narrartives, circular

• Todorov: Says that every story has a common structure - Establishment of a  situation/scenario

à this is then developed

à then there is a problem/distruption

à then an action/climax

à and finally a resolution

• Levi Strauss: Structuralist

- Binary oppositions

à narratives need oppositions of conflict (tension which drives forward

e.g good vs. bad, male vs. female, crime vs. law and order)

• Roland Barthes: Says narratives follow similar structures. He looks as codes in narratives

e.g. Visual codes - shot editing

Sound Codes - effect, music

à Barthes says that all narratives need many codes to progress narrative and to hold audience. There are 5 codes.

- 2 of them are of use to us:

- Action codes: give us very easily understood information about the next action

- Enigma codes: Withhold information - They pose questions.

• Post Modernism:

- Mix and Match "Bricolage" - Lyotard

- Mix time periods colder style movies

- Mix genres, narrative, styles of story telling (e.g. moving from first to third person)

- Mixing High (e.g. shakespeare) and popular culture (e.g. slang, music, clothing)

- Intertextuality: specific reference made to another media product
