So far throughout the past two weeks I have set up an "about me" page to introduce myself and my background in media and film which has been useful in evaluating myself.
I also have revised basic film codes and conventions in class such as the lighting, cinematography, editing and sound. We revised this by watching film scenes such as the beginning of "Leon". For example, There is a establishing aerial shot at the very beginning to set the scene and to show the audience the iconic skyline of New York. Later in the scene there is a mid shot of four men outside an elevator with their guns pointing at the doors which connotes their dominance it also foreshadows the shooting when the elevator doors open. The iconography of a gun is dominance, masculinity, authority, violence and it poses a threat. I would confidently say that I am building up my media terminology at an AS level. |
