Eyeline matches are a continuity editing technique where the audience sees what a character is looking at. This involves cutting from a shot of a character looking off-screen to what they are looking at. Famous films like Rear Window frequently use eyeline matches to shift perspective from a character's point of view to the object they are observing.

Eyeline Match
An eyeline match is a film editing technique used in continuity editing where the camera cuts between a character looking at something and then cutting to show what the character is looking at, allowing the audience to see from the character's perspective. For example, in Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, frequent eyeline matches are used to show what the main character sees as he looks out the rear window of his apartment while confined. Eyeline matches help the audience view what is capturing a character's attention on screen.

The document defines the certification ratings of 12A, 15, and 18 in the UK. A 12A allows moderate violence without dwelling on details or injuries. A 15 permits strong violence without dwelling on pain, and strong threat is allowed. An 18 allows strong and detailed violence including dwelling on pain and injury. The film being discussed was rated a 15 as its violence is between what a 12A and 18 would allow.

The document discusses certification ratings for films in the UK. It provides information on what types of content are permitted at different rating levels:
- A 12A rating allows moderate violence without detail, brief gory moments, and implied sexual violence.
- A 15 rating permits strong violence without dwelling on pain/injury. Strong sadistic/sexualized violence is unlikely to be acceptable.
- An 18 rating has no restrictions and can contain strong, detailed depictions of violence including pain/injury and sadistic/sexual violence.

Match cuts are editing techniques that link two shots by graphically matching an object, space, or composition between the shots. This helps establish continuity of action and links the shots metaphorically. Match cuts form the basis of continuity editing techniques like match on action cuts and are exemplified in Psycho with a drain cutting to an eyeball.
180 degree shot
The 180 degree rule is a basic guideline that states that two characters or elements in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line, and the new shot from the opposite side is known as a reverse angle.
Shot Reverse Shot Presentation
Shot reverse shot (SRS) involves alternating between shots of two characters engaged in a conversation, with one character looking off-screen at the other, and then cutting to a shot of the other character looking back. SRS represent continuity editing and are commonly used in dramas and soap operas to show characters conversing according to those genres' conventions.

Postmodernism is characterized by uncertainty and chaos in society due to a media-saturated consumer culture where identities and lifestyles can be freely chosen. Postmodernists argue that the distinction between high and popular culture has become meaningless due to mass markets and global availability of constantly changing consumer goods across media like advertising, television, film, and the web. Baudrillard sees postmodern life as dominated by media imagery to the point of creating "hyperreality," where simulated realities presented by media define our view of the world rather than having a basis in reality. Intertextuality, where one media text references another text recognizable to the audience, is one way postmodernism relates to the arts.
What is postmodernism?
Postmodernism rejects the idea that reality is objectively mirrored in human understanding, and instead believes that realities are socially constructed and subject to change. It takes a micro approach to examining how individuals construct their own realities, compared to structuralism which looks at entire societies. For a music video set in a city, postmodernism influenced focusing on diversity within the urban environment rather than mass consumption, and finding an internet image incorporating different building styles to represent Tokyo on the album cover rather than using London which looks too different.

This document discusses key aspects of postmodernism including uncertainty in society, a media-saturated consumer culture where identities are chosen from constantly changing goods, and the blurring of distinctions between high and popular culture due to expanded media industries. It also discusses Baudrillard's concept of "simulacra" where media presents multiple simulated realities that have no basis in the real world, creating a "hyperreality." Intertextuality, where media texts reference and mimic each other across genres and forms, is also covered.

Postmodernism rejects the idea that reality is objectively mirrored in human understanding, and instead believes that realities are socially constructed and subject to change. It takes a micro view of how individuals construct their own realities rather than analyzing entire societies. For their music video and digipak set in Tokyo, the document discusses how postmodernism influenced their ideas by focusing on the city's diversity of building shapes and sizes rather than uniform mass production, and helped them find an internet image incorporating different urban styles to represent the city from a high angle view.
Question 2
This document analyzes and summarizes the techniques used in a film extract to represent social groups and create atmosphere. It discusses the use of close-ups, movement, music, lighting contrasts between indoor and outdoor scenes, and montage sequences to disorient the audience. Stereotypical horror film tropes like a young blonde female victim lost in the woods are also employed. The analysis highlights how techniques like fast-paced camerawork, loud music, confusing shots and flashing images put the audience on edge and build tension throughout the extract.
Question 3
The document discusses different types of media institutions that could distribute a media product and the author's thoughts on their product. Mainstream institutions are aimed at wide audiences through major film companies with bigger budgets. Niche institutions have lower budgets and target restricted audiences. The author believes their horror film is mainstream due to using conventions from popular mainstream horror films and its target 15+ age range audience.
Film Noir
Film noir refers to dark American crime and detective films of the 1940s and 1950s. Key conventions include men who are often criminals or corrupt and women who are typically trusting but exploited. Plots usually involve crimes in cities, with low-key lighting, dramatic shadows, and disorienting camera angles used to create a dark, maze-like atmosphere. Common iconography includes rainy cities, dark clubs, cigarettes, guns, and dark sidewalks.

If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, crossing the line, it is called a 180 degree shot or reverse angle. Maintaining the 180 degree rule helps audiences understand the spatial relationship between characters.
Shot reverse shot
Shot reverse shots are a type of shot used in film to show two characters having a conversation where the camera alternates between each person, enforcing conventions in dramas and soaps by representing continuity editing through expressing dialogue with one character looking at the other.

- 2. • Eyeline matches are associated with continuity editing. • They involve the idea of the audience seeing what the character is seeing. • The eyeline match begins with a character looking at something off-screen with there then being a cut to the object or person at which he/she is looking. • Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, for example, makes frequent use of eyeline matches, with the audience often seeing the main character looking at something, and then us seeing it when the camera shifts.
