LO:to explore the use of setting and colour in films    setting and colour

Monday 22nd November 2021 

Setting

1: An isolated house in a rural setting for a horror film 

     This would be needed in a horror film to set the scene cause isolated houses          are creepy so u might think if you see it is it about ghosts 

2: A big city far an action film 

    This would be good to have in an action movie because if it was a small          town there wouldn't be much adventure to be had but because it's a big city          there is a lot of stuff to do and adventures.

3: A small seaside town for a romantic comedy

    This would be god because its a small town it sets the storyline like they have        been in this town all along and they have never noticed each other so that            makes it a romcom. 

4: A range of different countries for an action adventure film

    This would be good because there's a lot of places to travel to because if it was      all set in the same location it would not be much of an adventure film.

5: A large modern science laboratory for a science-fiction film 

    This would be needed cause if there wasn't a science laboratory it                        wouldn't really be in the genre of sci-fi.

Colour

1: Blue and red for a new superhero costume 

    i think they would choose this colour case it's a classic superhero colours like        spiderman and superman.

2: A black suit for a villain 

    I think this is used because in a lot of stuff black symbolises evil like Darth            Vader wears black and other villains.

3: Bright colours for a comedy film

      I think this would be used because comedies are supposed to be happy and          uplifting so they use  colours to make is fit that theme.

1: The action takes place in many places it takes place on roads in the sky in earth etc 

2: I think the story is set in earth lot because that where the war mostly is

3: It goes from a city then near the end it changes to somewhere hat looks like Africa because it looks like a safari  

4: When its in the airplane place there kind of preparing for a fight and then when it goes on to the plans area where it looks like Africa kind of they start attacking and a massive fight takes place.

5: i could tell that part of it is taking place in maybe New York because there is a city landscape and there are taxis.

6: I think that it couldn't of happened in a different place because if they need to go to fight Thanos they would need to g to where he is and that is not earth america so they couldn't just film all of it there.

7: I could tell that the story is set around now because there was quite modern stuff like taxis and city's but for the end part it could of been time travelled to because it doesn't really look like in are realm so maybe somewhere thats not on earth.

9: I think there was a lot of blue and reds because this is a superhero movie and there was a lot of superhero's so that is why those sort of colours are being used.

1: I am Legend  

Genre = action adventure

 

Narrative =it says on there last man on earth is not alone so maybe he goes on an adventure t find other people but then he goes threw a lot of attacks on his way 

Characters = well we can only see one main character who looks like he is on a mission to find something or someone

2: 28 days later

Genre = Action adventure 

Narrative = it looks like there's some kind of infection so i think that they go on an adventure to find the cure then there are loads of infected people attacking them 

I think the setting that would be used is a city with flying cars and there labs would be very futuristic  and there would be a lot of greens and silvers and blue colours and there would be a lot of infected people running around the city and the scientist in there futuristic cars and clothes looking for a cure to stop them from taking over the world. i chose these colours because they seem very futuristic and remind me of aliens and the future makes me think of aliens and i also said flying cars because it is something a lot of people aspect to be in the future and thats when it's set

Spider man Far from home:

Spider man far from home is directed by Jon Watts and written by Chris McKenna.It was produced by Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal and Victoria Alonso. The production companies in this film is Marvel Entertainment, Marvel Studios, c

 What Happens in the beginning,middle and at the end of the story: It stats in Spidermans home town in america and then the middle part him and his classmates go on a trip to venice (Italy) and then a creature attacks them and in the end his friend Mj finds out he is spiderman and then he gets in a relationship wit mj

What are the most important things: That monsters attack but spider man saves the day he gets with Mj and Mysterio is actually a bad guy    

How would the story change if events happened in different order: It wouldn't make sense if it was in a different order because if he saves the day and then the monsters aren't dead t wouldn't work and if he got with Mj at the begging and not the end it wouldn't make it as impactful 

How do we know where the story takes place: It takes place in a mixture of places but when they are in a different place they right where they are on the screen 

Who or what is the story about: The story is about a boy in highschool called Petter Parker who is secretly spiderman and he goes on a school trip and monsters attack and then this girl mj find out that he is spiderman and then they start to date.

How long does the story take in real time: 

Todorov:

• Equilibrium 

• Disruption

• Recognition of disruption

• Attempt to solve disruption 

• equilibrium 

(Equilibrium) Spiderman and his school frinds go to Venice on a school trip

(Disruption) When creatures arrive and start to attack

(Recognition of disruption) When spiderman finds out and starts to fight it

(Attempt to solve disruption) Tries to find out cause of monsters 

(Equilibrium) He finds out its Mysterio's fault and gets rid of all the monsters and Mysterio

12. Bruce wayne 

Case study characters

Protagonist (hero) = Spiderman 

Antagonist (villain) = Mysterio

Sidekick = Ned Leeds 

Main character (protagonist) is Peter Parker who is played by Tom Holland. Peter Parker is secretly Spiderman and he goes on missions to save the world,Peter Parker is 16 years old and he doesn't have a job.

The villain(Antagonist) is called Mysterio and he acts good in the start ut as the movie goes on he actually becomes evil and tries to take down Spiderman

The story is about Spiderman and how he tries to save the world and how he also has a love interest (mj) and that they go on a school trip together

The main character has brown hair brown eyes and is about 5.9feet 

Maybe that they are nice and not really a bad boy because he's not that popular

Peter Parker speaks american and speaks quite a lot

he is very nice and nice to other sand he doesn't act ad and doesn't break rules and he is really smart and does a lot of science and science fairs 

none of them have particular sound or music but Spider Man when he's swinging on his webs normally have a dramatic theme song thats intent to say that he is probably going to battle 

if another character was taken away it wouldn't really feel as good and complete and if they added another character it might feel bit to much and that there's to many or maybe it would be cool if they added another villain so Mysterio would have a sidekick but then if that happened he might of had more of a chance and then spiderman could be dead what isn't good for the rest of the films and if the main character dies that wouldn't  make u want to watch the other movies cause it would be boring without spiderman

Monday 17th January 2022          Sound in film

LO: To explore the use of sound in films

1) A horror movie/ Screams, creaks, scary music.

2) An action movie/ crashes, gunshots, fighting sounds, wheel spinning

3) A thriller/ suspence music, slams. 

4) A comedy film/ laughter, upbeat music. 

5) A science fiction film/ alien sounds, explosions, beeping

Diegetic 

sounds you would hear if you were in the scene eg someone speaking , footsteps , music on a radio.

Non-diegetic 

sounds that only the audience can hear eg narration, internal dialogue, music 

The Matrix

diegetic-dialogue-screaming-gunshots-punches-explosions-helicopter

non diegetic-music-drums

Foley

Foley is when the movie is focusing on the dialogue so the sounds are really the focus so the foley people make the sounds like footsteps they will try different shoes on till they get the right one that matches with the person and if they are walking on dirt they might walk on some leaves

Foley 

mum talking, shooting,panting,sliding,breathing,door opening,blinds opening,clinking, 

Matrix

1) There is music in the trailer

2) The music makes me feel quite on edge 

3) When something eventval happened the beat drops or got higher pitch 

4) Something dramatic

5) no

6) sometimes in the music but the dialogue is still happening

7) they sound like normal when they speak

8) they would speak when the music has tension or silent

9) yes i can hear explosions and gunshots and more

10) yes i think they have some sounds louder to make it more dramatic and if            they are focusing on a certain object

Sounds

i would make crashing noises for the alien knocking over stuff and then i would do a high pitch sound for the alien talking and when he vanishes i would use a sound that sounds like wind going threw the air swirling around. 

Mise-en-scene

LO: To explore the use of Mise-en-scene in films 

Monday 31st January 2022

Mise-en-scene is made up of five areas

1) Settings and props 

2) costume hair and makeup

3) Facial expressions and body language 

4) lighting and colour

5) position of characters/objects within the frame (blocking)

Setting and props 

settings and locations play an important part in film-making and are not just backgrounds

sets are either built from scratch or a great deal of time is spent to find a setting which already exists

settings can manipulate an audience by building certain expectations and then taking a different turn

1) A science fiction film

i would think the setting would be somewhere not in this world maybe like the moon or a different planet maybe a lab. I would expect to see a spaceship as prop and new technology

2) A romantic comedy 

I would expect the setting to be placed in a small town or busy city. The props i would think some flowers and chocolates maybe something funny for a joke could be a ring as a prop

3) A horror film

It would probably be set somewhere scary and old like a old town or house. The props could be like blood and fake ghosts and old creaky house, knife and old things 

1) The fist one suggest that it might be based in a different timeline cause the clothes look quite old fashioned and it kinda looks like he's going on a adventure because he has a bag and a hat

2) The second one suggest that they are quite dramatic because there top says that and there wearing a lot of pink so she's over the top and looks preppy and that this is based early 2000s because that was the style back then and that she probably american

3) The third one suggests that they are sad because of his facial expressions and that he might be poor because of his cloths and his hair looking scruffy so that suggest he doesn't take much care in his appearance 

1) From the first one i get scary vibes because they are all staring at echoer and i feel like something bad is about to happen also because the one in the middle looks more scary and looks like she's annoyed so she might do something

2) From this second one its giving dance battle vibes because it looks like he's got a team of people and there are staring at other people and there facial expressions look quite competitive so that also might suggest that or that there having a actual fight

There are two main types of lighting 

Low key lighting 

Produces sharp contrasts of light and dark areas 

deep distinct shadows

High key lighting

lighting is natural and realistic to our eyes 

produces brightly lit sets or a sunny day

The lighting and colour suggest that this is quite a eerie scene thats suspenseful because there's a glimpse of light but its kind of a green colour

1) In the first picture they are both crossed arms what means they are angry and they are far a part so that means that they don't want to be close together because they have maybe had a fight or they want to get divorced

2) In this one they look like they are friends and they are working together in a job because they have the same suits and they both look like agents because they have guns and suits and they look rich

Monday 14th February 2022    

LO: To experiment with foley and sound effects

1) The settings and props tell us that this isn't set now but in the past because there are candles instead of light bulbs and they are wearing old outfits and holding muskets. It also makes us think this is quite a rich set because there are golden chaires and nice food and walls.

2) The costume, hair and make up suggests that the one is a pirate by looking at his hat and the people next to him are some sort of rich guards because they are wearing gold outfits that look like velvet. 

3) The facial expressions and body suggests that the people at the side are angry and very serious by the way they are standing and by their facial expressions and not smiling then the one in the middle looks kinda worried by how his facial expression is. 

4) The lighting and colour suggests that its in quite a bright room so it's in the day and they wanted this scene to be captured by the camera quite brightly.

5) The positioning of the characters/objects within the frame makes me think that they all need to be seen and they positioned it to look like they are looking at something and they are in front of somebody.

Get Creative

Mise-en-scene is the settings, props, background, lighting, hair and makeup that makes up a scene. It can be diegetic or non-diegetic 

Beeping, swooshes, injecting, bangs, presses of buttons.

Setting: Space/spaceship

Props: lab, lab coat, injection, holograms, contraptions 

Hair and makeup: a lot of weird styles and makeup

Video clip

 dialogue, zipping, water, breathing, rustling, video games, clicking, getting up, brushing teeth footsteps, opening draw, jam being spread, mirror squeaking.

Task 2

Door closing or opening, footsteps, creaking chair, floorboards, mouse click/keyboard, paper rustling, feet stomping.

3.The impossible 

4.Gravity

5.Godzilla

Greenland/ is when there are asteroids coming down on earth and this family only have a few days left do they have to try and find the bunkers and it was hard journey to get there so i would say the genre is adventure and disaster

Everest/ Is a true story about these climbers going to climb Everest thinking it's gonna be a fun time and can be proud of themself for doing it but when they get up there they all start to get frostbite and a lot of stuff go bad like they don't have much oxygen left and a lot of them die and the ones that survived had frostbite and injuries

Jurassic world/ When they start a theme park with real dinosaurs and everything is going fine till the dinosaurs start to rebel and escape and start attacking the whole theme park so they got to get everyone out of there before it is to late.

1.some of them are groups but in Greenland its a male main character

2.In Greenland it involves his main character taking his family members to safety

3. Everest falls into disaster. Greenland falls into the category climate disaster. Jurassic world falls into epidemic.

4.Greenland and Jurassic world end with the main characters surviving but everest a lot of them dies and only a few survived

5. Greenland involves traveling to safety and the bunker. Everest involves travelling up and down the mountain. Jurassic world involves travel when they need to get out of the theme park.

6. The films have the same thing that they both need to try and survive and get out of the situation they are in by either tyna escape or attack the problem

2.

The colours are kinda the same in them mostly bluey colours

There fonts where big and bold mostly

there images was some feature of disaster

the main character is mostly on the front cover or a thew of them

for this movie they have put an alligator on it and this girl on top of water to show what this movie is about and that its about survival and they have put the main character on the front so we can tell that it's her and the alligator so we know what it's about so if people saw it they would see it's about alligators and that is what might draw them in.They have used the colours red to show danger and dark blue and black to show the mystery and danger and the unknowing and the name of this movie crawl good insinuate that she has to crawl somewhere or away from something.And the tagline says if the storm doesn't get you they will so its kinda showing that no one safe and even in your own home your not safe and the alligators can get you and the way they are underwater in the dark and cant be seen adds a extra level of danger
