"Heat" by Michael Mann (1995) In the opening of the bank robbery scene we see the main character (played by Robert Dinero) walking into the building. We are introduced to the interior through multiple establishing shots. First we have a low angle shot which then rises up to show the environment. Then we see a big close up of Dinero's eyes moving around as if they are scanning the area. The audiences attention is focused on certain individuals such as guards and his peers who are also involved in the heist. This is interpreted by the audience to be his point of view, and the viewers may try to make sense of the plan that is in the characters eyes as they are focusing on the same things in the room. Dramatic irony is used as the audience know something is about to happen, whereas the civilians and guards have no clue. The speed increases when they commence in the heist as we see multiple cuts from different angles of the characters interacting differently with one...

Blade Runner 2049, is a very good sequel of the iconic prequel. It explores ideologies such as love and personal identity as Ryan Gosling, played as "Officer K" takes on a  case  and ventures to find out what he really is, his history and identity. In doing so, he uncovers a darker secret. The sequel to Blade Runner really can't become a synthetic implant, it's visual appeal was revolutionary and was almost what you expect from a dystopian style film. Although i found the film hard to follow, it made sense as it went along as previous information you didnt catch onto was explained further in the film. These constant plot twists kept viewers engaged.  Blade Runner 2049 is a film that has a lot of enigmas and codes an example being whether or not Joe is  a replicant just being. Blade Runner aimed to be different and original compared to other popular dystopian sagas, such as "The Hunger Games", "divergent" series,or "Star Wars" and it ac...

Discussion points: Chiron is a character of a few words. Why is this? Chiron doesn't speak alot because he lacks confidence. He is constantly put down both at home and at school. He feels as there isn't much place for him to turn and as a result is very shy and keeps himself to himself.  How do the three actors use body language to communicate Chiron’s emotions to the audience? Why is he reluctant to make eye contact with people? The characters body language communicate Chirons emotions differntly as his mother was very imposing during her addiction to drugs, which intimidated Chiron. Although she was smaller than him, raising her hands made him crumble and back away which convey his lack of self esteem. Teresa had a more open body language to try and get him to speak. She faced him in a less agressive manor. Juan was always shown to be standing over Chiron almost as if he is protecting him. This makes him look up to juan and in the future becomes quite similar. Did an...

1) Write an analysis of the cinematography in the opening sequence.  Highlight your use of media language and try to cover camera shots, angles and movement using the terminology we have learned in lessons. 2) How does the camerawork give the audience clues about the setting, narrative and character? 3)  Find and analyse  four film or TV stills . Embed the images in your blog and analyse the camera shot/angle and what they communicate to the audience.   Citizen Kane  1) The opening sequence of "Citizen Kane" shows a variety of different camera shots in order to introduce the film. It begins with a close up of a sign saying "no trespassing" which is quite an unconventional way to start a film. Then we see a tracking shot as the camera follows in as the gates open. We then see different angles of the yard though the establishing shots. Each scene is dissolved in to each other and it emphasises the size of the house in which the character may re...
