Parallel and Contrapuntal Sound Practical Task

I've decided to do a montage based on videos where the first half is based on show casting attractions of the city/town where the piece of music is parallel of 50 cent ; 'big rich town'.

Lighting

Image
  1)This image displays low-key lighting. This because there is no large source of light and it is very minimal. Lowkey lighting is created by only using key and back light .The effect produces strong contrasts of light(the smoke) and dark(the woman)known as chiaroscuro 2)The image depicts back lighting as it comes from one side behind her face. 3)There is a  binary opposition  shown in the lowkey lighting. This is because the light(smoke) makes there be a sense of mystery within the extract as it covers her face.

Reading list and wider opportunities

 I read the MM52 media magazine and learnt some new concepts within media. I highly enjoyed learning about politics within the magazine because it helps me see the wider views of society. Also it helps me understand the deeper context of media. Such as how the government can see our every move and what we do. This enables them to see our preferences and give us content on our phones from their research. My favourite parts: The guardian columnist left wing activist explains passion for politics, Relationship between audiences, institution and radical politics and Significance of a TV title.  I am delighted that i was able to achieve bursary as now i can get the textbooks and the media theorists books. I am exited to read them because learning about media is a thing i have always has a passion for. These books will help to wider my understanding on media as well as be able to apply better theoretical terminology to my blog tasks in the future. In the future i...
