Art Film An art film is typically a serious, independent film, these are aimed at a niche market, instead of a mass market audience like Marvel Cinematic Universe would. Art films are generally serious artistic work which is never really aimed at the mass market. This is because they are quite experimental and primarily made to be aesthetically pleasing rather than for commercial profit purposes. They portray high symbolic content and nothing mainstream, thus casting a sense of social realism. Opening Sequence We decided to research and analyse various opening sequences online. First we looked at an action opening as our first choice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMQR_pPHOWg). We then decided to watch a movie called, 'cyber bully'. We found this movie quite appealing and decided to go along the path of bullying. BUT we wanted to portray our opening from the bullies point of view as we noticed majority of movies are always focusing on the victim. Product...

In lesson, we watched a 3-minute clip of dead man’s shoe, and straight away we see a lot of confrontation. We learn that there is something about to arise from what took place in what looks briefly looked like a mental hospital though it could also be a wreck centre as there was a Snooker table. As it starts off, it seems very grey and bright at the same time. During the time in this hall a man in a green jacket is seen staring at a dodgy male in a beanie. It seems that they must have been either betting or dealing, as we see an exchange of money take place between two men.

The man in the green jacket replies twice as vulgar, supposedly scaring of the man who confronted him. At 50 seconds, we see the same man in the green jacket standing outside with his friend as we watch on a small car flies ...

Digital distribution has changed its pattern drastically over time, and I am going to discuss how and why. The music industry consists of the companies and individuals that earn money by creating new songs. In order to release their music to the general public, they perform live concerts. They also publish audio, video recordings, and compositions. Among the many individuals and organizations that operate in the industry are: the songwriters and composers who create new songs and musical pieces; the singers, musicians, conductors and bandleaders who perform the music; the companies and professionals who create and sell recorded music and/or sheet music. The music industry underwent drastic changes with the advent of widespread digital distribution of music via the Internet. A conspicuous indicator of these changes is total music sales: since 2000, sales of recorded music have dropped off substantially while live music has increased in importance. In 2011, the largest recorded musi...

MEDIA KEY CONCEPTS Mise en scène: Mise en scène is to do with location, props, positioning/layout, lighting and costume/ makeup. location is where the video is going to be set. Props are items needed within the movie/video, for example a wizard would need a wand. Now the wand would be a prop Editing: Cutting: Regular cutting, cross cutting (back and forth), shortening a clip, jumping ahead Pace: Slow motion, slow, regular, fast, time-lapse and hyper-lapse Special effects: C.G.I, explosions, (adding effects to a movie to make it more interesting and not dull).
