Mise En Scene  Costume: Since the setting of the trailer will be set in London, then the main character are going to be wearing normal/urban clothes as this is what teenagers who live in London are likely to be wearing. The clothes are meant to tell the audience that the main characters are young but also live in an urban city such as London. This links to my Statement of Intent as it shows how the main character but also the setting of where the trailer is. Lighting : The lighting will be using natural lighting such as if a scene is set outside, the lighting will come from outside and if it's set inside then this means that the lighting comes from the lights inside. The lighting from outside is likely to be day. The lighting will also come from windows if a scene is set in an interior location. Actors: The actors that are starring in the trailer will probably involve myself and another person. This  means that the actors are going to be near the age...

His body sitting down in a slumped  positron We see the MSC walk past the glass window, the MSC looks away from the...

 Coursework: Preliminary Exercise 1) Edge of Seventeen: This films is a coming of age movie. In the trailer narrative and genre is communicated to the audience through the main character and the supporting character having a dialogue. The dialogue shows the main character discussing how she is having suicidal thoughts which she tells her teacher who is the supporting character. The genre is shown through the main character talking about her problems which fits the coming of age genre since it talks about adolescence which can be described as a tough and confusing time and the main character demonstrates that.. Also genre and narrative is shown to the audience through quick and fast shots which cutback to when each character is talking. The trailer then shows the main characters talking about different people in her school and how she ridicules them thus showing how loneliness or isolation is one of the themes of the narrative. Also, the narrative is continued to be s...

Coursework: Preliminary exercise 1) State the genre you have chosen - horror or coming of age drama.  I am possibly going to do a coming of age drama as it appears to be easier. 2) Bend It Like Beckham -the film appears to have a main character who is from an Asian background and that's where the problems in the movie come from. - the trailer seems to be giving details about the character in the trailer e.g family, friends, goals and ambitions - a song from the 90's or 00's seem to be playing in the background -there are a lot of shots showing the football which appears to be fast-paced and quick. Moonlight - the film has three segments of the main characters life which the camera keeps cutting back to - the shots seem to show characters talking to each other showing the movie has a lot of dialogue . -the music background is different to other movies showing how this movie is focused on character.

Michael Jackson Billie Jean 1) Billie Jean's budget was £50,000 whereas Beat It extended to £300,000 and Thriller became £2,000,000  2) As MTV played rock music and didn't play pop music or play music videos from black people which some people took as racist and offensive. 3) The videos has characteristics of a pop music video by including things such as lip-syncing, dance routines performance interwoven with narrative 4) The music video reflects the lyrics when it says "Then showed a photo of a baby crying, his eyes were like mine", referring to Billie Jean's supposed baby of Micheal Jackson 5) The close up shots used helps link to the lyrics as it states" line, ‘Then showed a photo of a baby crying, his eyes were like mine" and then there is a freeze and frame that zooms into MJ's eyes. 6) The video uses a billboard of people but also the music video itself is about when Micheal Jackson's brother's girlfriends or grou...

Common - Letter to the Free 1) Common has been involved in the move Selma which is about an "Alabama city which became the battleground in the fight for suffrage. Despite violent opposition, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (David Oyelowo) and his followers pressed forward on an epic march from Selma to Montgomery, and their efforts culminated in President Lyndon Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965." 2) "The Thirteenth Amendment (Amendment XIII) to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. In Congress, it was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, and by the House on January 31, 1865." 3) "The Black Codes were laws passed by Southern states in 1865 and 1866 in the United States after the American Civil War with the intent and the effect of restricting African Americans' freedom, and of compelling them to work in a labour economy based on low wages or debt." 4) As...

Music Video 1) The video of the music song This is America by Childish Gambino the key music conventions that are shown are the artist being included in the music video but also since this is a rap song and stereotypically things like violence, death, gun, and dancing are included. 2) The video is depicting gun violence as a bad thing which critics the use of guns in America and the normality but also when there is violence caused by a gun, the music continues which could show how there is a various amount of gun related deaths but people have become desensitized to the violence caused by guns. The video could be talking or critiquing American culture by showing how even there are problem going, people ignore it and would rather focus on other things. 3) The video could be referring to Gilroy at the beginning as it used vocals and music that seems Caribbean and African which is then contrasted when it changes to rap song  which could link to Gilroy's theory as it sho...

Film and TV Assessment : Learner Response 1) WWW: Some intelligent points in answering questions but more constituency needed.     EBI: More detailed points for each question only 2/3 concepts covered for Q1. 2) "The increasingly blurred nature of film genres in the contemporary media landscape. Sequels and parodies often offer intertextual references and audience pleasures linked to recognition of other films, franchises, genres or stars."

Similarly, Film4 was a good home for TV pre...

Music Video 1) The purpose of the music video is to sell the song and let you remember it and to let you remember it. It gives the listener a better understanding of the song of the song if the video has the right narrative. 2) "The advent of such technologies proved to be problematic for the  music industry as audiences were less inclined to buy a physical  copy of a song if they could listen to it online for free." 3) "In America, three major record  companies, Sony Music  Entertainment, Universal Music  Group and Abu Dhabi Media  (along with content licensed by  EMI), have also launched Vevo, a  video hosting site specifically for  music videos." 4) "As discussed, the purpose of a music video is to encourage viewers  to purchase a copy of the song featured and other products  associated with the artist. To this end, the video needs to add  something to the experience of hearing the song. Though music ...
