Lighting exercise

Sound exercise

Different types of sounds

What's Diegetic sound

Diegetic sounds is a visible sound that is in all films an example of diegetic sound is the sound of the characters, sounds made by different objects in the film and music and instruments in the film. Diegetic sound can also be  either on screen or off screen depending on whatever its source is within the frame or outside the frame. 

What's Non-Diegetic sound

Non diegetic sound is a sound that is not in the film and the characters cant hear but the audience can. We mostly find Non diegetic sound in horror films where y hear intense music that comes on the scary bit of the film.

Parallel sound

Parallel sounds are used to mostly match up to a scene for example in a horror film a scream will match the scene.

Contrapuntal sound 

Contrapuntal sound is the opposite of parallel sound it something that does not match a scene for example if they were playing rock music on a scary part of the film.

Mis-en-scene

Mis-en-scene

What is Mis-en-scene

Mis-en-scene has more than one element in it, this consists of costume and make up, facial expressions and body language, setting and props, lighting and color and positions of characters and objects within the frame. 

Setting and props- This is important because it tells you what the films  is going to be like for example in action films it could be set in the streets of Rio where it looks rough and life's hard, its also located in a hot location. On the other hand the props show that its an action film because you could see a guy holding a gun and helping a friend out.

costume and makeup- In costume and make up its important because it tells us if the character we are seeing is wealthy average or poor. In action films we see the characters in casual clothes which shows there ready to work. There hair is also clean and they have some facial hair most of the time. For make up they use it to make them look like they have been in a real fight.

Facial expressions and body language- This shows the characters actions and emotions for example in action films most of the characters will look like they just came out a battle.It makes them look like there in lots of pain.

Positioning-this is a great technique that gets attention from the audience for example in action films we see characters slouched, sometimes limping away from anymore danger.

Lighting- depending on the films the lighting can change from light to dark like in some horror films. In action films the lighting is always rather light because its usually set outside in a hot country. Its usually even more lighter after they have finished here battle and on there way home.

No country for old men

No country for old men

In rural Texas, welder and hunter Llewelyn Moss discovers the remains of several drug runners who have all killed each other in an exchange gone violently wrong. Rather than report the discovery to the police, Moss decides to simply take the two million dollars present for himself. This puts the psychopathic killer, Anton Chigurh, on his trail as he dispassionately murders nearly every rival, bystander and even employer in his pursuit of his quarry and the money. As Moss desperately attempts to keep one step ahead, the blood from this hunt begins to flow behind him with relentlessly growing intensity as Chigurh closes in. Meanwhile, the laconic Sherrif Ed Tom Bell blithely oversees the investigation even as he struggles to face the sheer enormity of the crimes he is attempting to do. Moss ends up getting killed and the psychopathic killer escapes.

preliminary

Preliminary task Evaluation 

In our preliminary task it starts of with  a guy who knows a lot of information, he then gets set-up thinking that he has to take this chip of information which is worth millions, when he gets brutally murdered.

We have used all the techniques in our film which are:

Match on action

Eye line match

Shot, reverse shot

180 degree rule

We used the match on action when they see "Klaus" walk through the door.

We then used the eye line match when we were recording "klaus"

We used the shot reverse shot when "Klaus" and "Wesley" were having a conversation

We did not break the 180 degree rule by staying on the same side.

i think that we did all the shots accurately, the only mistake we did was we took long to do the shot reverse shot because we were getting distracted and we didn't speak loud enough to get heard. I think next time we will improve on how sound when recording and the amount of time we take to make our film.

I think that the positive things we did in our film was that we all did the acting pretty good and all the shots worked well. I also think that the editing was well and made the film work

I think we needed to make improvements on our volume of the film because you cant hear that well from it. I also think that we needed to improve on the time it took us to make this film.

Mcguffin

Mcguffin

Mcguffin is in a story hat is used to drive a plot. Mcguffins have no purpose in the films, it mainly is used to distract you from trying to figure out the ending of the film. Mcguffins usually don't come up again later and wont explain the ending. It mostly a mysterious package that everyone is looking for
