 1) First blog task - 10 questions 2) Denotation and Connotation 3) Introduction to Photoshop: fruit bowls 4) Mise-en-scene: Stranger Things 5) Camerawork: shots and angles 6) Camera movement and editing 7) Blog feedback and learner response

 Task 1: 1)   In the Minority Report Clip, we see at approximately 1:00 into the scene, a track/dolly  camera type. This camera types means to 'swoop' or turn ever so smoothly. This scene is when he is running at very fast paced and trying to get away from the people in the flying costumes. I think they used this track/dolly  movement because everything was fast paced. This show's the audience that everything is moving fast and he is running away from the cops. The second camera movement on the Minority Clip is a called a  tilt . This means if it tilts up or down, it is mostly used for people to look like hero or villainous. At 1:13 of the video, it shows the cops flying down towards Tom Cruise (bad guy). This tells us and the audience that the cops are powerful and will most likely stop Tom. But not really, as they got bruised up at the end. The last camera type I caught was the zoom . We saw the zoom type at 1:17 of the scene. As we saw the cops land in t...

  WWW : This is an excellent start to GCSE Media – well done! Your fruit bowl is creative and well designed and your blog is fully up-to-date. I like the fact you are looking forward to making videos later in the course and hopefully your technical skills will really help here. Keep up the good work!    EBI : The main thing to work on is the depth and detail of your written work on the blog – for example, for denotation and connotation you could talk about more potential meanings or what is being communicated to the audience. For the Stranger Things analysis, you have gone above and beyond which is great but if you check actor placement/movement you don’t explain what that movement is communicating to the audience.   LR : Create a new blogpost on your Media blog called ‘Blog feedback and Learner Response’. Copy and paste this WWW/EBI feedback into your blogpost then complete the LR tasks/questions below. Questions     What do you feel is your strongest piec...

 Camera Types Task 1: 1)    When we get into 1:10 minutes of the clip, the music starts to turn gory and intense! At that time they done an extreme close up camera type because we could only see her head to her shoulders. Also at the 1:29 minutes of the clip, they do another extreme close up camera type on the 2 women. This shows their facial expressions, when they are absorbing the information. 2)    The bit where they show all 4 of the members speaking to each other, at approximately 2:09 minutes in the video, that camera type is called a establishing shot. The reason why this is an establishing shot is because we can see the people who are speaking and we can see a bit of the background, to see where the setting is. 3)    At 2:26 minutes of the video, we see the women who says, " now enough of words, let's begin." And we can see behind her where she is and how everything is. This camera type is called a birds-eye-view. We can see her behind, sh...
