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).
Camera angles:
  • Shots: Regular, revers, over the shoulder, eye level, graphic, action, jump shot, birds eye, and crane (where the camera is shooting from above, but not the same as a birds eye.)

 Sound:
  • Diegetic
    • Sounds recorded at the same time as filming, and not added in
  • Non-diegetic
    • Sounds recorded at a later date and sound effects. Audio clips that would be heard recorded with a mic.

Pre Production

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.
