Film language micro elements toolkit and revision mats for analysing key scen...
A series of 'mats' I use for analysing different aspects of film language. Useful for film and media studies, there is a variety of 'mats' here that I've found to be very useful for students who are analysing or revising when working with whole films, key scenes, or extracts. The final page of this PDF document contains a description/explanation of how I have used these documents in my classroom.
Storyboards and Shot Lists
The document discusses the preproduction phase of motion picture production. It describes that during preproduction, the overall planning of the film takes place, including finishing the script, planning shots, and storyboarding. Storyboards are a series of drawings that represent how each shot will be composed and blocked. Shot lists provide a list of the shots needed for the film with descriptions. Previsualization involves using software to plan shots in order to better share the director's vision.
Crime genre
The crime genre revolves around acts of crime, criminals, and their detection. Films in this genre follow criminals committing crimes, victims of crimes, or detectives investigating crimes. They are typically fast-paced with an air of mystery. Common subgenres include mob/gangster films about organized crime, film noir featuring dark lighting from the 1940s-50s, neo-noir modern updates, and crime thrillers combining psychological thrills with crime plots centered on serial killers. Examples provided are Fargo, The Silence of the Lambs, Reservoir Dogs, Goodfellas, and The Fugitive.
The horror genre
The document discusses the horror genre in film. It defines genre and provides examples of subgenres like horror comedy hybrids. It also covers common elements of horror films, including isolated or abandoned settings, expressive camera work using extreme close-ups and point-of-view shots, iconic visuals like blood and weapons, narratives that cliffhang or have endless plots, character archetypes like "the protagonist" and "the antagonist", and recurring themes like revenge or religion.
Camera distances and angles
Camera distances and angles can be used to influence the viewer's perspective and focus. Extreme long shots show the environment, while close-ups isolate small details. Eye-level shots are considered normal, while low and high angles force the viewer to look up or down. Dutch tilts present an unbalanced perspective, and aerial views provide a bird's-eye perspective. Framing and camera placement impact the point of view and how viewers relate to and understand the subject.
Bruce Block's Visual Components For Filmmakers
This document discusses the visual components of space, line, shape, tone, color, movement, and rhythm. It explains that each component can have contrast, which creates greater visual intensity, or affinity, which creates lesser visual intensity. It provides examples of different types of space (deep, flat, limited, ambiguous) and how contrast and affinity apply to each visual component, including examples of how they are used in images.
Mise en scene in horror
The document discusses several techniques of mise-en-scène used in horror movies to create atmosphere and fear. It describes how settings like forests used in films like Friday the 13th isolate and endanger characters. Props symbolize religious elements in possession films and identify villains by their weapons. Dark lighting and colors like black and red are employed to conceal threats and represent good and evil. Costumes and makeup are also important for defining characters and showing their deterioration. Facial expressions and body language display characters' fear through tension and shock. Practical effects are often used in place of visual effects to portray graphic violence realistically.

5 elements of mise en scene
The 5 elements of mise-en-scene that influence audience expectations are: 1) Settings and props which establish time, place, and social status of characters. 2) Costumes, hair, and makeup which reveal character traits and time period. 3) Facial expressions and body language which clearly convey a character's emotions and thoughts. 4) Lighting and color which set mood and draw attention through techniques like shadows and high/low key lighting. 5) Camera shots and angles which manipulate space, proximity, and viewer perspective to determine importance and relationships between elements through techniques like close-ups, long shots, and camera placement.
X rays - mission science
- X-rays were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen and have much higher energy and shorter wavelengths than ultraviolet light.
- X-rays can be used to see inside the body by creating detailed images of bones and other dense tissues.
- X-rays are emitted by extremely hot objects like supernovae remnants and accretion disks around black holes, and can provide information about the composition, temperature, and density of celestial environments.
- Telescopes use grazing-incidence mirrors to focus x-rays onto detectors in order to collect and analyze photons from space.
Biggest Explosion in Space Ever!
Scientists have discovered the largest explosion ever observed in the universe. The explosion was detected in the Ophiuchus galaxy cluster located about 390 million light years from Earth. It was caused by a supermassive black hole at the center of a distant galaxy and released five times more energy than the previous largest known cosmological explosion. The blast was powerful enough to punch a cavity in the hot gas surrounding the black hole. It occurred very slowly over hundreds of millions of years. The discovery was made possible through observations using radio, x-ray, and other telescopes, highlighting the importance of multi-wavelength studies to understand highly energetic events in the universe.

Cosmic Ray Presentation
Cosmic rays are high-energy particles originating from outer space that bombard Earth's atmosphere. They are composed of protons, electrons, neutrinos, and atomic nuclei. Primary cosmic rays come from astrophysical sources like supernovae, neutron stars, and black holes. Secondary cosmic rays are produced when primary cosmic rays interact with the Earth's atmosphere. The history of cosmic rays includes their discovery in the late 19th century by Henri Becquerel and Victor Hess, and later work in the early 20th century that established they originate outside the Earth's atmosphere and consist of charged particles. Modern research on cosmic rays includes using extensive air shower arrays and tracking detectors to study their origins and composition.

Super Vision Talk
One of my passion is science imagery. Data has become art. I wrote a book based on that idea and have given a presentation based on that book many times.
Other telescopes
Radio telescopes use large dish-shaped antennas to detect radio waves from space. They can observe continuously and are often arranged in arrays to increase resolving power. The Very Large Array in New Mexico links signals from 27 dishes. Infrared telescopes observe dark dusty regions through infrared radiation. They must be kept cool to reduce heat interference. Ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma-ray telescopes detect shorter wavelengths and provide information about energetic astronomical phenomena like young stars, galaxies and catastrophic events. Special coatings and shielding allow observation of these high-energy regions of the spectrum.

Surprising Science
Quarks are the smallest particles and always come in pairs known as hadrons. The elements necessary for life were formed in exploding stars and reached Earth. Our bodies contain atoms from supernova stars that spread chemical enrichment. The God Helmet can induce experiences like out of body experiences through cognitive effects. When we look at stars, we see into the past due to the long travel time of light. Photons experience no time during travel due to the constant speed of light.
The hubble space telescope
The Hubble Space Telescope was proposed in the 1920s and developed over several decades with contributions from NASA, ESA, and astronomers. It was launched in 1990 and has helped astronomers determine the age of the universe is around 13-14 billion years. Hubble orbits Earth and is able to observe distant objects without interference from the atmosphere. It has undergone several servicing missions and instrument upgrades to continue making new discoveries.

Radiation will make_astronauts_trip_to_mars_even_riskier
1) Measurements from the Curiosity rover's Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) provide the best data on radiation levels astronauts will face during deep space travel beyond Earth's protective magnetic field.
2) During a 360-day round trip to Mars, RAD measurements estimate an astronaut would receive a radiation dose of about 662 millisieverts, exceeding NASA's career limit of 1000 millisieverts which corresponds to a 3% risk of cancer.
3) However, there is still much uncertainty around the health effects of space radiation. The conversion of radiation readings to biological impact has "a high degree of uncertainty" and future solar events could produce even higher radiation levels than measured by RAD.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
