cinematography blog task

 


 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?

This camerawork gives the audiences clues that the setting is in a hospital/asylum. With the narrative, it shows that something bad is going to happen/happened as there is blood on the mans lab coat. The shot emphasises the character's panicked/scared expression which is foreshadowing.


3) Analyse the camera shot/angle in the image and what it communicates to the audience. Remember to highlight the media terminology you use.

The medium close-up communicates how the man is scaring the young girl. It creates a sense of tension as we wonder what is happening and what is going to happen to the young girl. In addition the background is blurred which puts focus on the characters which further highlights how the medium close-up  reinforces the suspense/tension.

Lighting blog tasks

Image
  This image is low key lighting as the surroundings are dark, which also means top lighting must be used as only her face is clear in the picture. Furthermore, the use of top lighting creates a sense of mystery and suspense as you cannot see the rest of her surroundings and we are unaware of what she is looking at. This image is high-key lighting as there is much more colour and the features on the person are clear. I believe that top lighting has been used as you can see the image clearly and it is bright rather than dark. This suggests that he is an important character maybe a king due to the crown. This image is low-key lighting, this is known due to the key and back lights creating strong contrasts. Under lighting is also used to make the man appear bigger and more threatening. High-key lighting is being used in this image, this is known as it is very bright and you can clearly see her expressions and features. Her shadows can also foreshadow her death (her soul leaving her body).
