Screen Shot Analysis

I have chosen to analysis the close up for the TV series Hustle,

This shot is a close of the woman's facial expressions, she is smiling, probably to show that she has a solution to her problem. Seductive smile, she could be lying.

Her choice of makeup, neat and the colours look expensive. shows she is rich as well as good looking.

The way she is looking at the camera shows that she might be plotting something devious and not showing her true self.

Here are the notes placed in to a practise paragraph for the mock exams.

The use of the close up shot has been used to show the significance of her facial expressions toward the event that has been taken place; I feel that the director chose to do this scene in this particular way in order to collaborate the message behind her seductive smile. It has an impression of the audience because when they recall the previous event, it shows a helpless woman looking for her ring in a frantic manner, after the hysteria, she suddenly comes out with this seductive smile towards the camera as if to say, she has used herself as a way of saying I am not telling the truth, and by using her gender she is able to cause a fuss over the ring in order to get attention. Within society, people are considering that this type of stereotype of women is considered to be acceptable, even though it is not what women are really like.

Editing

Editing in media is every important...

During the turn of the last century the idea of the moving image with no cuts was spouse to have been revolutionary, however by having no editing it was just a long line of film, it was not until Sergei Eisenstein with his theory of montage; which is a collection of different shots of a movie placed together, which changed everything.

Now a days lots of films use cuts and other forms of editing to shorten or make the film better than it all ready is.....

For you guys i have analysed a short clip from the movie "Clockwork Orange" fight scene; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-zRtT5jPLA, and had looked at all the different shots;

1. So far during the fight scene there were on average over 20 different cuts and screen angles alone, I think it is due to being able to show all the different shot with out using a split screen, but it also works best this way because you do not lose and action scenes.
2. each of the shots are reasonable length for the gang fight scene because you can see all the different fights from each of the characters and not miss a single bit.
3. most of the cutting points are at the point were some of the suspense is rising and to show the high tension and when you think the bad guys are going to win but it gets turned around in the ending scenes.
4. Some of the scenes are a bit manipulated, but there is some points were you do wonder if it will happen or not, because of the positioning of the shots, but that could have also have been done due to the story broad and the plot.
5. The rhythm of the editing is mostly to show the high tension, the different stages of the fight and who is in the lead in the fight.
6. The shots were mostly are relativity objective and functional because all of the shots are linked, to the fact that these two gangs do not get along and do fight and all the different scenes and angles of the fight which are all together.
7. Most of the major editing is on the action aer the fight scene but there is some cuts at the beginning of the clip.
8. The style of editing the clip has is, sequence shots because of all of the shots and cuts are linked together and flow from the first scene up until the last.

Sound Is Beautiful

When studying media you need to now about sound and how it works...

Pope who work in the filed of media find that the creation of sound with moving images are a work of genius, sound can establish and enhance a scene in your mind, and it's place in the world and it impacts what we feel for a character.

By listening to this piece of music from the movie sound track I find that depending on whether there is a image to view or not you always have your imagination to view you can easily create you own view of the music's interpretation from you imagination.

Even though film an television affects the audience, but sound has an even bigger impact, it can be obtained through dialogue recorded on location, diagetic sound or music, non- diagetic and sound effects.
most of these were recoded on the set but things like the non-diagetic and the sound effects, are added after they have recorded.

Diagetic sound;
Is the sound or music that is recorded on the set .e.g. talking and street sound.

Non-diagetic sound;
Is when the sound is later added through the editing process, which can also be used to add atmosphere, to the clips.


Here is a table to show three ways of showing sound in TV Dramas;













Thanks for reading my media work on media sound and have a nice day.

Advert Analysis

When analysing media adverts,you need to know two simple words;

• Denotation - is the strait forward meaning.
• Connotation - is the extra meaning to the denotation.(personal)

Here are two examples of analysing with the use of denotation and connotation;
