The quality in this video was not the best and to prevent this happening again later on I will use another device that will produce higher resolution videos. Also instead of leaving my videos to a later time I will start on them earlier ; this will allow me choose the best device to work on as well as allowing me to prepare props and clothing. Being organised and punctual  will be my main goal as that will be the solution to a well produced video. 6) I have learned that although any parts of Mise - en - scene seem insignificant, it is

    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.  The scene opens with a  medium close up  of the parents. It then switches to a  close up  of the mother. It then reverses back to the  medium close up  of the parents. The camera then goes from a  low angle  to a  high angle . It then switches to a medium close up of the girl. After it goes to a  medium long shot  to  medium close ups  of the dad and then the mother and girl. Finally, there is a  wide/establishing shot  of all the characters including the setting Secondly, find and analyse  one  film or TV still image. Add the image to your blogpost.  2) How does the camerawork give the audience clues about the setting, narrative and character?
