Cinematography In the beginning of this action scene, the camera starts with a close up of the antagonist to show the anger and hatred he has towards John McLane - the protagonist trying to rescue his daughter from the villain. The camera then focuses on the jet progressing from a extreme long shot to a close up to reflect the fast paced movement with the scene. The camera then goes to a close up of the pilot his concentration on the task at hand. The low angled P.O.V shot of the rocket being shot at the truck allows the audience to see what the pilot would see from that high in the air which adds a sense of realism. The P.O.V shot of the targeting system also adds a sense of realism as it makes the audience feel as if they are the ones in control of the situation. The close up of the protagonists face expressions showed confusion as to why he was being targeted by another military soldier who are meant to be fighting for the sane cause. The close up of the pilot pressing the...

Article 1 In this review I have to agree that Bladerunner is a very appealing film with amazing CGI which is done almost perfectly to seem realistic. However the film itself and dialogue I found to be extremely boring with a slow progressing story which left me bored and confused. The film fails to provide the vital information about the story to people who haven't seen the original Bladerunner. Article 2 In this review once again I have to agree that the visuals in Bladerunner are extremely beautiful and well done to create a very professional and realistic look. I also have to agree with the article that the narrative in film was quite slow and boring at times. Despite the spectacular visuals I viewed the film as dull and dragged out. Personally, I thought the film would have been much better if chopped down and paced up a little to fill in the empty void of boredom during the film. Article 3  In this article it has made me question some of the  enigma codes that ha...

Find the  opening sequence  to a film or TV drama of your choice on YouTube and e mbed the video in a blogpost called 'Cinematography blog tasks'.  1) Write an analysis of the cinematography in the opening sequence.  Highlight your use of media language and try to cover camera shots, angles and movement using the terminology we have learned in lessons. We expect a film to begin with a typical  establishing shot  so we are able to get some kind of information on what to expect through the film. The  establishing shot  shows the audience the setting so we can get some kind of feel for the film. In the beginning of this film this is shown through the use of   tilt camera movement as the boy in the yellow jacket leaves the house and waves at his brother watching through the window. The camera the goes into a low angle shot which makes the house appear as if It's overpowering him. The use of low-key lighting makes the house appear creepy w...

Discussion points Chiron is a character of few words. Why is this? In my opinion, I believe Chiron was a character of few words because he was misunderstood for being different. The villains in the movie (which were the other school kids) chose to mock him and make him feel inferior to the rest of his class mates. This consequently caused him to say less as he didn't want to be persecuted for sexuality which was out of his control.      How do the three  actors use body language to communicate Chiron’s emotions to the audience? Boy: In the beginning of the film Chiron conveyed quite a shrivelled up body posture. This was used to show how much he fears the outside world.  Teenager: In the middle of the film, he became more slouched and he would often try to avoid eye contact. His body posture being slouched could represent how he wasn't proud of his sexuality and wanted to not draw any attention to himself when he's around his class mates. Chiron ...

In this video I will be exploring a range of different types of camera shots, angles and movements. In my opinion, the overall quality of the framing used and the camera work done was to a good standard. However, the hardest aspect of the video was keeping the camera steady moving along the stairs.
