Film deconstruction lesson 1
This document provides instruction on analyzing film sequences through deconstruction. It defines juxtaposition as placing two or more elements side by side to change context and create meaning. Examples of editing techniques like jump cuts and shot types from establishing to close-up are explained. The document also distinguishes between diegetic sound from within the narrative and non-diegetic sound added later. Students will watch and analyze a short film called Sine by considering elements like juxtaposition, editing pace, shot usage, and sound effects.
What's in a Film? An Introduction to Filmmaking Techniques
The document discusses the main elements that make up a film, including cinematography, mise en scène, sound, story, and editing. It then provides explanations and examples of some basic cinematography concepts like lenses, framing, lighting, and movement. Finally, it briefly outlines some concepts related to storytelling, composition, and scene analysis that are important for understanding how films are constructed.
Editing techniques
An editor selects and arranges shots to convey meaning to the audience. There are four main transition types - cut, dissolve, fade, and wipe. A cut is the most common and invisible transition, while a dissolve mixes one shot out as another mixes in to show a connection. Fades signal changes in time/space. Wipes push one image offscreen to change location. Transitions should be used purposefully to advance the narrative or develop characters and ideas through continuity or montage editing styles.
Project scene presentation Hamlet
Students are required to stage a scene from Hamlet and complete a write up providing a rationale for all of their production decisions.
Lesson 1 ET
This document discusses techniques for positioning audiences through camerawork in fictional films. It provides examples from the films Dracula and E.T., analyzing how different camera shots and angles are used to make audiences feel certain ways about characters. The document also discusses other cinematic techniques like mise-en-scene, sound design, and symbolic codes that can enhance character presentations and audience positioning. Students are given tasks to identify these techniques in scenes and explain their effects.
Year 12 film week 1b
This unit focuses on the micro features of film such as mise-en-scène, performance, cinematography, editing, and sound. Students will study how these features construct meaning, contribute to the sensory impact of film, and influence a spectator's response. They will also create their own sequence demonstrating how micro features produce meaning. The unit emphasizes the interaction between film and spectator. Key micro features are defined, and students will write a 1,500-word essay analyzing how one or more of these features construct meaning in a 3-5 minute film extract.
As media evaluation (2)
The group had two weeks to plan their urban drama film project. They brainstormed ideas and settled on an urban theme to showcase their creativity. Storyboarding and scheduling helped structure the production. Editing techniques like shot reverse shot, match on match action, and the 180 degree rule were employed to improve continuity and help the audience follow conversations and action. Mise-en-scene and sound design were also considered.
Editing for film
Editing is used to make motion pictures flow coherently between scenes and enhance visual effects. There are typically three stages of editing: rough cut, director's cut, and final cut. Editing techniques like shot reverse shot and the 180-degree rule help generate meaning and keep narratives coherent by facilitating the audience's understanding of characters' perspectives and spatial relationships. Timing, continuity, and invisible editing are important aspects of constructing suspense and maintaining realism in films.

Introduction to Music Industry
The music industry in Britain has seen significant changes over the past two decades. Recording artists now rely primarily on live performances and merchandise for income rather than recorded music sales. Record companies have introduced "360 deals" where they take a percentage of artists' revenues from all sources in order to benefit from their entire income stream. While digital singles sales are rising, digital and physical album sales continue to decline in the UK due to high levels of illegal downloading. More than three-quarters of downloaded music in Britain is obtained illegally, costing the music industry over £1 billion since 2007.
