Lesson 5:Setting And Colour- Monday 29th November

L/O:To Explore The Use Of Setting & Colour In Films

1.)-An isolated house in a rural setting for a horror film -It would be good because that one person would be alone make it more tense and pressuring for the one character and the viewer.

2.)-A big city for an action film-This makes the scene more exciting because there will be a lot of people and cars,making the scene more exhilarating and loud which really shows action.

3.)-A small seaside town for a romantic comedy-This is usually a ideal location for a romantic movie because the small town has more of a chance for a romantic pair to fall in love.

4.)-A range of different countries for an action adventure film-This is perfect for action adventure films because it would show the characters travelling  which  is better than one country if its an adventure film.

5.)-A large modern science laboratory for a science-fiction film-This is also good for a science fiction film because it would be a great place for scientific. 

 

1.) Blue and red for a new superhero costume - Because these are some of the primary colours and you can kind of tell that there good but powerful.

2.) A black suit for a villain-This shows that the character is dark and evil because black usually means death this shows this character isn't friendly.

3.)-Bright colours for a comedy- If the colours are bright it usually means a cheerful and happy film.

-where does action take place?-In different locations

-why do you think the story set in that particular place-maybe it makes it look more pressuring 

-when and how does he setting setting change-the setting changes when it fades black because its a new scene

-How does the setting affect the the characters and the way they behave-Because there in different locations

- How could tell where the story was taking place-because you can see the background

-Could you tell where the story was a different place-most probably not

-Can you tell when the story is taking place-No because some parts look modern some look into the future

-What clues might be there to tell us whether the story is in the past or future-Well there is a lot of high technical  stuff so id say its in the future

-Because it adds character

-yes like a villain will usually have dark colour

The film posters a;l look like a deep action film

the movie would have greens,whites and greys

For a horror movie the setting would be dark,gloomy and mysterious because it makes it more scary because if there something behind the character you wont be able to see it.

Monday 10th January 2022

LO:To explore the use of sound in films

1.)-a horror film -eerie music,mixed volumes,creaky floor boards,rain and thunder,

2.) an action movie- Loud,drums

Diegetic-Sounds you would hear if you were in the scene E.g Someone Speaking,Footsteps, Music On a  Radio 

Non Diegetic- Sounds That Only the Audience Can Hear E.g Narration,Internal dialogue,Music.

Diegetic                              non-diegetic

- a click      - a hit -screaming   -glass breaking                                     -drum beats                 

Foley-  Foley is a unique sound technique  that involves creating and “performing” everyday sounds for movies and television shows. Foley artists create these sounds in a recording studio during post-production, in synchrony with the picture, to enhance the quality of the audio.

Costume hair and makeup

1.) The first guy looks like he's some sort of explorer. His hat shows that he's an adventurer.His face is sweaty and greasy meaning that he's  been in heat. Also his clothes are crumpled meaning they haven't  been changed for a while.

2.)-This girl Is the main protagonist of the movie mean girls.From her outfit you can tell that shes girly

 

Face Expressions & Body Language-

1.- In the first image, you can see three people sat at a dinning table.The way they all are looking at each other implicates that something has happened.

Lighting & Colour-

Low Key Lighting

-Produces sharp contrasts of light and dark areas

- Deep,distinct shadows/silhouettes are formed

High key Lighting

-Lighting is natural and realistic to our eyes

-Produces brightly lit sets or a sunny day

Positioning of people:The two guys look like there watching Tv together or something.

Monday 7th February 2022

LO:to experiment with foley and sound effects

1.) Setting & props - the setting looks to be a dinning room and the props are: candles,seating and some sort of food.

2.)Costumes & hair- they all seem to be in a quite wealthy clothing and there hair is either tied up or just let free.

3.)-Facial expressions - They all seem to be looking at something in a serious manor. 

4.)-Lighting and colour-The lighting in this scene is quite dark and dull.

5.)- Character objects within the frame:- they seem to be wealthy.

Creative task:

1.)- setting:It would be all white and immaculate

2.)-Props: Space ships,Lazer guns,different species

3.)- hair & make up -hair tied up and a galactic sort of outfit.

4.)- Lighting- would be light outside but not in space

5.)-positioning- all quite far apart

Sounds I heard: music,water,breathing,brushing teeth,tap running,clicking of mirror,sound of draw opening,shutting door,spreading toast     

Sounds what went well:    the typing of the computer , scrubbing of the sponge, running the water and tapping the spoons against each other.

Sounds what didn't go so well : Hitting of the tea packets,unscrewing the water bottle lid and scrunching the laminated paper.

Movie Marketing

STARTER-

- Social media campaign

- Online ads 

-  Team up with radio channels 

Trailer - Mentions other movies they have created

        - Displays the company who created the movie

       - age recommendation , invites viewers of a different age 

         range.

          Advertisement - On cinema posters

             - The theme

             - Colour use

            - The main producer / director 

            - A slogan 

            

     Narrative clues - 13 minutes 

13 minutes s a psychological thriller that looks at life through the eyes of a bunch of 16 year olds. So, to the characters. The majority of the story is narrated through Becca, who was once firm friends with Tasha until she was unceremoniously dumped because she no longer fit the image required to become ‘popular’. Quickly replaced by a newer, prettier version Becca never totally got over the rejection and in fact suffers from rather low self esteem. Tasha and her two followers (known as the Barbies) are the toast of the school, everyone wants to be their friend – or just be noticed by them. They’re beautiful. They set trends and go to all the cool parties. However, it does seem that after Tasha’s near death experience something isn’t quite right. The friendship doesn’t seem to click any more and there is something strange unfolding.

The setting is pretty much a modern day high school setting and obviously most of the characters are 16 years of age, so it seems on the face of it that this is aimed at a YA audience – however, don’t be fooled by that. This is a clever story, well written with plenty of mystery and tension. I would also mention that the f-bomb, sex and drugs play a role here but only in a way that gives the story added realism and not in a gratuitous fashion.

This image reflects a natural disaster , as we can see a tornado what is coming towards the child. We can also notice that the child is grasping onto a teddy-bear showing a sign of vulnerability. The colour palate are shades of blue , greys and blacks meaning its a cold selection use of colours. The font they used  is bold and cracked , meaning it suggests  that there is breakage and pain.
