Click My favourite movie that was showcased in media awards was named "Click". The genre seemed to be a crime/action film with an element of supernatural abilities. The plot seemed very enticing to me as they seemed to have been involved in some kind of heist, allowing them to acquire alot of money. However, one of the characters seemed to have a supernatural ability to stop time which gave him an advantage over the others. The cinematography was at a high standard as the editing was able to stop characters in time whatever their actions, whether it be climbing a wall, falling backwards or jumping. The aspects of mise-en-scene also added to my interest in the film. In terms of costume, the suits made the characters look a high social class as well as the contrasting it with previous scenes in the urban areas. The shots were mostly outside in natural lighting, meaning the trailer had less hyper realism that we see in most movies. The actors within the film played their roles...

Research:Film noir The definition of film noir is  a style or genre of cinematographic film marked by a mood of pessimism, fatalism, and menace. The term was originally applied (by a group of French critics) to American thriller or detective films made in the period 1944–54 and to the work of directors such as Orson Welles, Fritz Lang, and Billy Wilder. In terms of lighting film noir is when the producer creates shadows and lots of dramatic effects to try to scare the audience and add a lot of suspense to the movie. Also, the effects are used to set the scene in the film. Also film noir created dark shadows and effects which symbolised and reflected the mood and atmosphere of the film which was tense, mysterious and dark. Producers who created films in the genre of gangster, crime and mystery mostly used film noir lighting because it allowed them to keep characters actions like selling drugs and committing crime and killing people a mystery and hideous which meant that...

The first film poster is a sci-fi film where it seems that mankind will be in a conflict with aliens. The two people on the front of the cover seem to be the protagonists and they may have a love interest. This film is a sci-fi film with a sub genre of romance as suggested from the male and female on the front cover of the poster. The target audience for this film would be males that are 16+ it seems that this film would contain a lot of violence. We can infer this as the poster shows a man holding a gun with a defensive, startled expression on his face. This is probably be a horror movie as we can infer from the name of the film. However, some element of comedy may be installed within the movie and I can tell this as the facial expressions on the characters are quite comical and not something associated with a horror film. The front 3 characters may be the protagonists as they are at the focus of the shot. This films seems to be a film about a man who encounters various problems...

Funny Games What is the director saying about the family from the music played? Rock music is a very aggressive style of music and it is associated with being rebellious. This may imply that the family is involved in some kind of underground crime world and the way they seem on first look isnt the actual case. At first they look like a normal family going on a trip and the initial classical music made it look this way, however the rock music makes it seem much more darker. However, it could also implement the film to be a comedy as the the music is contrapuntal to the scene and doesnt match. How would you describe the use of the music? I would describe it to be quite random as at the start, calming classical was played which fit the scene and the actions of the characters. However, the way in which the music transitioned had no real trigger making it seem quite random to me. The actions of the characters didnt match the music either showing it to be contrapuntal. How do you thi...

The use of Top Lighting here is to create a glamorous look for the woman. Her face is the focus of attention as everything else is engulfed in darkness. This is an example of low key lighting. The use of a key light here helps us see the entire picture clearly, and the use of a top lighting from a filler helps us see the lines on his faces such as the cheek bones, and gives the shadow under his eyes to connote a more sinister demeanour. This is an example of high key lighting. The top lighting in this picture gives the actor a stern look, his face is half shown which creates mystery, and there is a light on the gun which connotes danger and violence. This is an example of low key lighting. There's a heavy use of key lighting on her, with a shadow which indicates a danger. This is an example of high key lighting. The use of filler light behind the blinds creates shadows on the actors faces, creating a romantic feel. This is an example of low key lighting. The use of ...

In this “Star Persona Transformation” turned a normal student into a undead zombie mermaid. The clash of beauty (shown through the extensive make up) and horror (shown through the prosthetic's) created this unique look. Make up such as foundation, eye shadow, eyeliner and lipstick in order to capture the beauty associated with a mermaid. Mermaids were known to be quite seductive and using the make up makes the student look like the stereotypical mermaid. However, the prosthetic's used gives a dramatic twist as it makes her appear to be evil and resemble a zombie. It was used to resemble flesh hanging off her face as if she has decomposed. This is a cliche for a zombie as they 'come back from the grave'. The glitter in the hair also adds to the beautiful cliche of a mermaid. 

Self Assessment: 3) Now reflect on your own work. How did your star persona mood board planning help clarify and develop your ideas? The makeup used within my video matched the inspiration in the mood board. We see that the undead mermaid has decomposing flesh and lots of gory features as well as beautiful makeup. 4) Thinking technically, how could you improve your work for future videos? (E.g. filming, editing, sound etc. In future videos, I will try to create less negative space and have the 'star' as the focus of attention and be in more line of the shot. The background of the shot also seemed quite unprofessional as the room was messy and you could see posters in the background.  The lighting also made it quite difficult to see the 'star' clearly, so the makeup couldn't be properly appreciated. 5) Thinking in terms of mise-en-scene, what were the aspects of CLAMPS you used effectively in your video? Costume: In terms of costume, the make up was used effe...
