Editing notes OCR Media
Continuity editing is commonly used in films to seamlessly move the story and immerse viewers. Editing aims to create atmosphere, engage audiences, and make dramas fluid so construction is invisible. The editing process focuses on creating meaning by connecting shots rather than removing material. Editing pace is manipulated to engage audiences through fast cuts for action or slow cuts to build tension. Common techniques include cuts, match cuts between actions or objects, and transitional devices like fades, dissolves and wipes to suggest changes in scene or time.
Camera Shots part 2
Camera shots like overhead shots and reaction shots are used to show different perspectives. Editing techniques such as freeze frames, eye matches, and cross cutting are used to focus on or compare elements. Camera movements including pans, zooms, tracks, and fixed frames establish scenes and follow subjects. Politically incorrect attitudes around racism, sexism, homophobia, inappropriate language, smoking, drinking and swearing should be avoided.

Narrative Theory in Brief
Tzvetan Todorov proposed that narratives follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium by an outside force, and a return to a new equilibrium. He later refined this into five stages: initial equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to reinstate equilibrium, and return to a new equilibrium. Claude Levi-Strauss argued that narratives are structured around conflicts between binary opposites. Roland Barthes identified five narrative codes that unlock meaning in texts: the enigma code, action code, semantic code, symbolic code, and referential code. Vladimir Propp isolated seven character types and numerous narrative functions that are often present in fairy tales, such as preparation, complication, transference, struggle, return, and recognition.
Key considerations when filming
This document outlines key considerations for filming media projects, including not letting actors overlap their lines, shooting all relevant action in each scene, maintaining continuity between shots, and shooting close-ups of actors for their dialogue and reactions. It emphasizes the importance of continuity of props, actor positioning and movements, and dialogue when shooting multiple takes.
Denotation&connotation
This document discusses denotation and connotation in media texts. Denotation refers to the literal or basic meaning of signs, images, or words. Connotation refers to the cultural or personal associations that extend beyond the literal meaning. Effective analysis of media texts requires understanding both the denotative and connotative meanings. Symbols like colors, words, images or styles can have positive, negative or neutral connotations depending on cultural and contextual factors.
Mise en-scene presentation
The document discusses the key elements of mise-en-scene - a French term meaning "what is put into the scene" - that filmmakers can use to influence the audience and provide context. It describes the five main elements of mise-en-scene as setting and props, costuming/makeup, facial expressions and body language, lighting and color, and cinematography including camera shots and angles. The document provides examples of how these elements can be analyzed and what inferences can be made about characters and the narrative from them.
Thinking about your audience
The document discusses the importance of understanding your audience as a media producer. It states that all media texts are made with an audience in mind and your production should also have a target audience. It emphasizes the need to understand your audience's demographics, including factors like age, gender, class, ethnicity, location and income level. Understanding your audience allows you to ensure your text will appeal to and engage them. It also discusses several theories about how audiences receive and respond to media texts, including the hypodermic needle model which suggests media can directly influence audiences, and the two-step flow model which proposes ideas are filtered through opinion leaders.

Portable lighting equipment
Redheads are lightweight, multi-purpose lights ideal for TV news coverage, commercials, and films. They produce around 800W of light but are not powerful enough to be a main light source. Blondes are larger lights that produce between 1000-2000W, making them extremely powerful for flooding large areas. Practical lights are lights that are visible in the frame of a shot, like lamps or streetlights, and help make scenes look more realistic. Reflector boards bounce light to control shadows and highlights. There are white, silver, gold, and black reflector boards that each impact the light and colors differently.

Todorov’s narrative theory
Todorov's narrative theory outlines a 5-step pattern that many stories follow: 1) an initial state of equilibrium, 2) a disruption to this equilibrium through some event, 3) recognition of the disruption, 4) an attempt to repair the disruption, and 5) reinstatement of the equilibrium. This pattern is commonly seen in films and provides a familiar narrative structure.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Film language star wars
- 1. FILM LANGUAGE StarWars:The Force Awakens
- 2. Film language includes camera; sound; editing; mise-en-scene and lighting. Mise-en-scene is the arrangement of scenery and stage properties in a play and the setting or surroundings of an event. Camera – Height, distance, angle, movement Sound – Dialogue, sound effects, music Lighting – Source, direction, intensity
- 3. Camera At the start of the trailer for StarWars:The Force Awakens, the camera angle is filmed from a bird eyes view from a high height with an overhead angle.The camera is canted and tilted sideways and is quite far from the subject to show the setting of the first half of the trailer. The camera also moves smoothly whilst following the pace of the spaceships.This is effective because it seems like you’re following the spaceships and following them. Due to there being a lot of action in the trailer, there is a variety of different angle shots to emphasize the action and create an effect.
- 4. Sound The sound we hear in a film is either diegetic or non-diegetic. Diegetic sound- Sound whose source is visible on the screen or whose source is implied to be present by the action of the film: • Voices of characters • Sounds made by objects in the story • Music represented as coming from instruments in the story space Diegetic sound is any sound presented as originated from source within the film's world. (A sound which can be paired with what is happening in a film or onTV, and is either visible, or is relevant to the action) Non-diegetic sound- Sound whose source is neither visible on the screen nor has been implied to be present in the action: • Narrator's commentary • Sound effects which is added for the dramatic effect • Mood music Non-diegetic sound is represented as coming from the a source outside story space. (a sound that cannot be seen on screen, nor has any direct relevance.)
- 5. Mise-en-scene The setting of the trailer changes throughout.The first part seems to be set in spae ad then it moves onto a planet.
- 6. Editing The trailer has quick cuts (fast pace editing) moving from one scene to the other but making sure the storyline is still clear.
- 7. Lighting and colour The lighting in the trailer varies. At one point the lighting is bright red as you can see in the image below.The red lighting has been used to create a mood and atmosphere.The colour red has a lot of connotations for example red connotes action and danger. It also represents power and courage. This shot alerts the audience of the location (outer space) and then they can establish the genre.This shot lasts around 12 seconds to emphasize the importance of the of the characters on the spaceship.
