Horror Movie Poster

If I was to improve our movie poster I would change the initial shot we took and would get rid off the "COUNTY JAIL" sign as it is too big and takes effect away from the movie title. I would also create my own billing block next time when I get more used to Photoshop as I found it difficult at first.

Continuity Editing Video

Feedback

Success:

• Music went well with the sequence as it suited the characters movements as well as the cuts from one character to another. 
• Record scratch went well with the action at 0:32 as it lightened the mood of the sequence. 
• Use of Camera Angles such as the mid shots.
• Very clear establishing pattern between the characters. (Low shot, Mid Shot, Tracking Shot)
• Match on action (3 different shots of parcel) at 0:20 and 0:21. 
• Did not break the 180 degree rule.

Improvements:

• Dialogue shot needs a cut to a different angle as it is too long. 
• Match on action needed on the pushing action at 0:33

City of God: The Chicken Chase

These two shots are from the City Of God and they are an example of Cross-cutting which is cutting back and forth between two scenes and in this scene they are cutting from the chicken chase to the two young boys walking to show both cuts are related as they meet further on in the scene. The meaning of this edit is two show that the young boy is the solution to the gangs problem as he is able to catch the chicken.  Also, by cross cutting the director has placed an emphasis on how the protagonist differs from other young men of the favela.  They are in a gang whereas he is walking with only one friend.

 These edits are examples of reverse shots and the meaning of this is to show that both link but they are different as they don't share the same frame which implies that they are different types of people and it also empathises isolation. 

                                     

This shot is a slow motion edit which changes the pace of the sequence and lingers on this frame. The meaning of this is to show the importance of him in the narrative and to show he is the antagonist.

This shot is an eyeline match as the chicken is looking directly at the feathers and this is meant to imply that the chicken knows that he is next and that death is imminent and this is trying to imply that this might happen soon to the protagonist. 

JAWS: How does this extract use camera shots, angles, movements andcomposition.

Mise-en-scene

Mise-en-Scene

In this scene in the film James bond the Mise-en-scene creates many effects. For example the lighting is used to create a very tense effect, the lighting in this scene is called the back light as it is in the background also there is a key light which is shinning on the character in the chair to show he is topless and defines his physique and also makes the characters the subject of the scene. The main light which is the back light in this scene gives us a hint to the narrative as the back light is meant to be representing a saviour or to show that there is a way out.

The costume and positioning of the characters shows the power of the each character. The man in the suit is portrayed as very intimidating and his positioning also makes him dominant as he is standing up but Bond looks very weak as he has no top on and is strapped to a chair however due to the position of Bond he looks slightly high-powered as he is not slanted he is sitting straight despite still being the victim in the situation.

The setting is underground and we know this due to the back light shinning down. This portrays that what is happening in the scene is very suspicious and hidden. This creates a spooky effect as it is very quiet underground also the leaks of water on the floor portray that the setting is the underground of the boat.
