Close the loop copy evaluation

-


Our group completed this film with some organisations skills, we could have been more organised with when we were filming, and the props we used. Some of the locations we used were improvised and could have been planned for a more accurate representation of the close the loop video. The clips were distributed evenly between the group and some were filmed in class as well as outside of school. The editing and audio were sorted out as a group whilst we were together so we all had equal input on how the video should look at the end. We used our phones to record the clips which did not necessary have the best quality, if we were to do it again we would use a camera to up the quality of the video. We would also film all the clips landscape rather than portrait if we were to film it again so all the clips match the original close the loop video. Our group were quite creative and imaginative with the shots and the props to match the original video as close as possible. For example; the, 'stand out blend in' shots were filmed with feather scarfs as opposed to suits, the clothing is still different, but we could not match the video exactly as we were unable to get enough people with suits to be in the shot. The idea that they are all looking at their phones adds to the 'blend in' element of the shot as they are all then blending in with each others habits as well as clothing, adding extra meaning to the shots. This video is successful as a first draft but definitely needs improvements to fit the close the loop video as their are too many errors to match with the original. In my previous blog post I analysed our shots next to the original shots and identified the errors that we would need to improve upon if we were to further improve our video. For the next project, a call sheet and plan would need to be made in more detail to be more organised with the filming. The shots would need to be analysed before copied so shots that are portrait would be filmed portrait, similarly, if a shot was filmed at a low-angle, it should be copied at a low-angle to match the original as close as possible.

Explain how the political context in which newspapers are produced, influences their ownership and regulation

1.  Explain the political significance of the concept of 'press freedom' and its relationship to representative democracy. Why do you think freedom of the press is important? How much influence do you think the government should have about the things reported in the UK press? We personally feel that the free press has both positives and negatives and therefore shouldn't be totally self regulated, the invasion of privacy of those in the public eye is becoming more common. Which reporters taking stories to far and gaining private information this is happening due to the demand that the audience and readers give, responding well to stories that seem more exclusive. However, i feel that when a scoop isn't in the public interest then it should be required as reporters for newspapers are gaining both unwanted information and information which is to invasive.  The concept of "press freedom`' has political significants as newspapers are able to support any polit...

Todorov's theory of narralology: Todorov suggested that conventional narratives are structured in 5 stages: 1. equilibrium 2. disruption of the equilibrium 3. recognition of the disruption 4. attempt to repair the damage 5. new equilibrium (however will never return to being exactly the same as the original equilibrium) This type of narrative structure is very familiar to us and can be applied to many 'mainstream' film/TV narratives Plot: sequence of events, what the reader observes. Story: All events of the narrative both explicit and implicit (what the reader understands) Narrative: plot+story (chain of events in a cause and effect relationship in time and space. The manner in which the story is revealed) Genre and Narratives what you expect to see in... horror: violence, terror, unknown, darkness, antagonist, abandoned buildings, scares, tension, bitter sweet ending, religious iconography. science fiction: futuristic, supernatural, space, technology, post...

Dance Music Video Analysis

Lullaby- Sigala, Paloma Faith This video follows many of the conventions of dance music videos, colourful, good vibes and generally on holiday or in a location that the audience would wish to be in themselves. Dance is involved in this video, more in the middle and towards the end of the video, The colours the main women is wearing is bright yellow, which have connotations of happiness and energy, which is evidently what dance makes you feel like. The idea of the sun coming through the blinds emphasizes the beauty of the place and works as a spotlight for the singer in the video, this natural lighting is used making it seem more realistic to the audience. Some of the camera shots used are mid shots, from the shoulders upwards, and may have been used to show the expressions on their face whilst singing the song, possibly linking with the lyrics. Additionally, some long shots are used of the full body, showing the dances being performed and the body language from the character. Bre...
