Risk Assessment

Before filming, Grace and I have had to complete a risk assessment to make sure the set is safe for us and our actors.

CINEMATOGRAPHY and What I have learnt...

Image
Over the past couple of lessons we have been learning about cinematography which is camera work. I've learnt that different styles of filming have developed since the technology has increased and we are able to mirror the things we actually see onto the camera. I've also learnt that the camera man uses different types of shots because they have different impacts on the viewer (emotion) There is two key elements to cinematography: - Framing of a shot (what we can see on screen) e.g. close shots & longshot (landscape) - Movement of the camera e.g. tilting the camera and zooming. As well as this, i now know that filming can be hard as the cinematographer has to decide how to present a certain piece of action towards a viewer and look at things from the viewers perspective and show how it tells a story. I will use different movements of the camera in my film opening as i think it will make it more dramatic, especially as Grace and I have decided to switch to a romantic cri...

Mise En Scene

Mise en Scene describes the filmic reality created by filmmakers and translates 'what is placed in the frame' and everything put in the frame has been put there to help the audience feel emotive or help them understand the situation in the movie. Mise en Scene can be used by the furniture we see in the room, the subtle or dramatic make-up they are wearing, or the costumes the actors / actresses wear. Everything we see in film is constructed and nothing appears by chance in the filmic frame. Setting helps us understand where and when a film is set, and we have to convey when its set through a range of locations which gives the audience a impression of a paticular period in history.

Children of Men Essay

Image
How is the future represented in the opening of the film 'Children of Men'? In a dystopian future world where everything seems to be falling apart except London, which “soldiers on”, Cuaron uses cinematographic style to place the audience directly into the filmic world of the characters. Ben Ogrodnik in ‘Senses of Cinema’ describes the camera work as “restless”. We see this in the opening as the handheld camera tracks the protagonist, Theo (Clive Owen) out of the coffee shop in a single long take, documentary-style. As the camera pans right to left from the doorway of the coffee shop, the viewer is given a clear sense of the mise-en-scene with the polluted London street. This unusual camerawork presents a self-conscious style of filmic storytelling, subverting the Classical Hollywood style, where the viewer is also a protagonist. As the camera circles Theo to reveal him pouring (presumably) alcohol into his coffee, people in 2027 seem to have lost hope due to infertility....
