Eastenders 


Eastenders is one of the best British soap tv program because not only the narrative is interesting , the cinematography of the different angle shots draws the audience in where in the video it starts as a close up on a letter it portrays the main suspense to build up and give an enigma mode, there is a lot of cut shots where its on one character to another. the second shot is an over the shoulder shot where we see 2 other characters and the women opening a letter, this gives the audience a feel of who's in the room and the setting. There's a lot of close up on an object paper related as it signifies a person of conflict who's given a present in this context. This gives the audience the setting and character based on shoulder shots and the close up gives the narrative away as well. 

Secondly, find and analyse one film or TV still image. Add the image to your blogpost. 
Analyse the camera shot/angle in the image and what it communicates to the audience. Remember to highlight the media terminology you use.



The angle from the film FRIDAY is a low angle / POV shot of an unconscious person who got knocked out. This shows dominance and power based on the shot angle and the editing of black and white suggests that its a flashback. the facial expression gives the feeling of socked and surprised where the character is being a fool by making fun of the defeated person based on the POV.

  Bladerunner  -  1)The genre of the film poster is sci-fi and action.  2)This is because the posters facial expressions of the characters show the amount of aggresion. The poster shows an  enigma code  because it makes us think .As well as this the title 'Blade runner' shoes the idea that the protagonists could be running away from something which shows the action.The  colour schemes  of the building symbol the idea that the film could contain futueristic scenes.  Blue, white and black. 3)Overall I think that the film is about   h umans vs robots   and the action between them. It could be considered that the film poster display s binary opposistion   because of the contrast of dark and light between the man and the women. scary movie 2 -  1)The  genre   of scary movie 2 is a comedy and parody. 2)This is because the  typography  contains  sans serif  text which reinforces the st...

Sound video feedback and learner response

  1)  Mr Bush - WWW : used my own footage with variety of shots and included a very good opening                           -  EBI : to make my contrapuntal and parallel more clear in my video  2) Fellow students - all agreed on the use of my own videos and the choice of music I included and all agreed it was tricky to figure out what was parallel and contrapuntal   3) WWW - I think that my video was composed great as I used my own variety of videos , creating a montage of city and attraction life vs bhangra dance. The audio I used was 50 cent , Big rich town where I sped up my videos to match the tempo where he talks about power , looking over his city and adding bhangra videos , I though it would confuse as you would wonder what music am I dancing to.  EBI - After composing my video I realised that speeding the different videos didn't show the contrapuntal side and didn't have a ...
