Shot reverse shot is a technique used in movies, it is a shotthatviewstheactionfromtheoppositesideofthepreviousshot,asduringaconversationbetweentwoactors,givingtheeffectoflookingfromoneactortotheother.
This is me and my friend Reanne demonstrating shot reverse shot applying the 180 degree rule- The camera shot being taken on the oposite shoulder.
Match on action occurs when an action that begins in one shot is continued or completed in the next, which is shown very well in this clip.
This clip consists of a couple arguing, whilst doing this they walk in and out of rooms, so they are positioned in different settings but continuing the same scene. The camera from one shot to another, with the previous shot matching the first one.
I have used a programme called Alice (3D imaging software) to create a graveyard setting by enclosing the characters within spooky rusty gates, I have then positioned a grave stone in the centre, making it fairly obvious that it is set in a graveyard. I have then positioned a young girl infront of the gravestone, dressed in pink to represent her innocence and make her stand out as a key character. I have then placed a tree in the corner to create shadows and darkess and make the atmosphere a tad more scary. I have then created three adult men who are dressed in long black cloak like outfits looking very similar, they are clearly the bad guys due to the dark colours they are wearing and how they are covered up suggesting they are hiding something, presumably weapons. The young girls is unaware of the presence of the three mysterious men standing behind her which is very spooky as they are creeping up on her.
I have chosen to study Media Studies as one of my A levels because it links very well to my future ambitions and generally intrests me.
I am also studying English Literature and Business Studies, which link to Media...
I would like to write about current fashion trends, media, celebrities, or even follow the PR career.
My Favourite cartoon HAS to be
FAMILY GUY.
I found this clip extremely funny, because it's something i'd do to my mum. Ha! Ha!
Now for my favourite film....
NEW MOON.
I think i may possibly be obsessed to be perfectly honest, I love all of the Twilight films but this one of them all is my absolute fav.
The romance is a tad tacky but overal the storyline involves such conflict and drastic decisions for Belle (main character) it really does win me over.
A romcom is a hybrid genre in which a romance story generly commence and is presented in a comedic way. I have chosen to analyse the film 'Shallow Hal' as its a personal favorite and endures the rom-com genre very well.
I think it is a romcom as its main characters are a man and a women building a relationship throughout the film although there are a selection of funny moments in the film to make the film alot more enjoyable.
This is a medium close up as you can see the upper side of their body, but we are able to see their face very well. Half way between a medium shot and a close up shot.
Close Up
This is a close up as the camera has zoomed in so we can see her face close up allowing us to see her expression entirely, taking up the majority of the frame.
Wide Shot
This is a wide shot as thesubject takes up the full frame, allowing us to see the whole body of the character and their surroundings.
Over The Shoulder Shot
This is an over the shoulder shot as it allows us to see what the character can see, as it is at eye level with the character and we are positioned at the side of the shot. (Over the shoulder)
This is the trailer for the film 'The Orphan', a horror movie that fits the horror genre conventions very well;
Jaume Collet-Serra (The director of 'The Orphan') uses diverse horror film conventions by including the following;
Good verses evil is present in this film; while Kate and John's daughter Max (Aryana Engineer), who is deaf and communicates with sign language, embraces Esther almost immediately, their son Daniel (Jimmy Bennett) is somewhat less welcoming creating conflict. Esther is portayed as the evil girl where as the rest of the family are introduced as the good people, this unravelles as the film progresses.
Revenge plays a huge role in this horror, this is the main convention that becomes clear in the trailer as we see Esther's evil side, her harming her adopted family, clearly seeking revenge.
Childhood issues is a main convention in 'The orphan', Melissa Fay Greene of The Daily Beast commented:
""The movie Orphan comes directly from this unexamined place in popular culture. Esther’s shadowy past includes Eastern Europe; she appears normal and sweet, but quickly turns violent and cruel, especially toward her mother. These are clichés. This is the baggage with which we saddle abandoned, orphaned, or disabled children given a fresh start at family life."[5]"
Insanity is a convention that is also breifly shown in this trailer as it shows Esthers adopted family/carers worried about how she is acting as she is portaying elements of insanity.
