Cinematography feedback and learner response



Mr Halsey
- The opening feels more like a slideshow than a film. I know the video kicks in later but something to consider in future. You will need to produce professional level video work for coursework later in the year!
- The camerawork is generally excellent: steady, well-shot and in focus. I also like the font you've used - it's modern and professional.

- Revise tracking shot: a tracking shot can't be going down stairs (it's on wheels!) That shot would be handheld. Also, what is an action shot? I think you may actually be showing an editing term - match-on-action. We'll be covering this later in the year but great if you're learning it already!

 Reflection:
WWW: Camera work was done well.
EBI: Make the video more into a film.

I think overall the editing could have been better. I need to focus more on tracking shot because it was done wrong. Furthermore, need to focus on the close ups and make it more into a video because it looked like a slide show.

Moonlight Summary Chiron is a character of few words. Why is this?                                                                           --> I think he does not have any confidence. This is because he has not been taught the basic life skills to survive in the type of area he lives in. Furthermore, he is being rejected by his parents; this makes him try and take action of his own life and find people who will take care of him and help him. Another reason, why he is a person of few words is because since a young age he was bullied; you can infer that he did not have a voice to fight back. Also, he was not taught to defend himself. Therefore, he is perceived as someone who is weak and emotional. Adding to this, he did not know himself. This means that he was not able to express himself as a person because his identity was very hard for him to find. Furthermore, he was not taught the simple norms and values of society to function making him not able to be a sociable person.

Comments Media Magazine: The Appeal of Arthouse Cinema 1) Summarise the article in 50 words. This article explores what is meant by an Arthouse cinema. It proceeds to describe it as artistic rather than commercial in character. This typically means that the film has a low budget and is likely to be difficult to understand or 'read'. 2) What are some of the suggested audience pleasures for arthouse film? Some aspects which audiences that watch arthouse films tend to enjoy films which are hard to understand or highlight certain aspects of society which get ignored or neglected. 3) Why do some audiences struggle with arthouse film? Refer to some media  theory  here (there are some important media theories discussed in the article itself). Some audiences may struggle to watch arthouse film as it doesn't follow Todorov's theory of equilibrium which is what most audiences tend to enjoy as it maintains attentionspan with quick and short cutting scenes which have a basic st
