Cinematography task


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.

Moonlight Film Trip

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?

You'll find the article in  our Media Magazine archive  - click on MM47 and go to page 19. 1) Write a 100 word summary of the Media Magazine article. On Friday July 5th 2013, a low-budget, black and white, art-house film by emerging auteur, Ben Wheatley, A Field in England, tried to break the Hollywood model of distribution by becoming the first film in the  UK to launch simultaneously across all platforms e.g. Cinema, TV, VOD, DVD & Blu-ray. The main aim was to gain large amounts of media coverage to maximise their revenues and profits but was that the best. Ben Wheatley believed that this approach would lead to greater success for the film as it challenged the normal conventions linked to British culture. 2) Read the following pages on the official website for  A Field In England  and w...
