It establishes in the first shot that the setting is a post-apocalyptic city. Throughout the video, these wide shots emphasize the protagonist's vulnerability and aim to capture the scale of devastation he is trying to escape. The video has a dark, muted color palette and lighting to maintain the song's emotional tone while telling a story through imagery and limited lip syncing.
The trailer for Scarface uses various film techniques to attract audiences to the crime thriller genre. It begins slowly with suspenseful music and shots of Tony's interrogation. As the trailer shows Tony rising to power in Miami through the drug trade, the music becomes upbeat. However, the trailer hints at Tony's inevitable downfall by showing him in high-angle shots and revealing climactic violence. Through its editing, mise-en-scene, cinematography, sound, and use of Al Pacino's star power, the Scarface trailer intrigues viewers about Tony's journey while still keeping much of the plot concealed.
Sunrise: A Tale of Two Humans (1927) Micro elements analysisElle Sullivan
The document discusses the 1927 film Sunrise by German director F.W. Murnau. It analyzes how the film blends elements of German expressionism and American realism through its production, style, and techniques. Specifically, it examines the famous marsh sequence which uses the studio set, lighting, framing, editing, and montage to express the characters' psychological states in a way that feels both stylistically expressive and grounded in realism. The document argues that Murnau's nuanced combination of these approaches creates a film that is difficult to strictly classify and allows audiences to grasp the story and characters on multiple levels.
This document provides a final storyboard for a music video, outlining the camera angles, editing techniques, and narrative elements planned for the video. The storyboard shows the main character entering a television and emerging into a black and white "new world" representing imagination and possibility. Scenes in the new world reference peace, nature, religion, and social issues. Upon returning to the real world, the main character is sleeping, implying the new world was a dream. The storyboard aims to visually convey the song's themes and connect the audience to the artist through performance shots.
The document discusses the purposes and techniques used in CD covers. It analyzes covers for Marilyn Manson, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Eminem to demonstrate how covers communicate: 1) the artist's star image through visual codes like color, lighting, composition; 2) the musical genre through conventions of visuals and technical elements; and 3) a unique selling point through distinctive visual features. Analysis of individual covers shows how elements construct meanings that position the artist and genre.
The document discusses techniques used in the filmmaker's opening for a psychological thriller film. It begins by introducing the main character Oscar and the context of his partner's death which leads to nightmares. Locations like a kitchen and living room are used to give a sense of normalcy before surreal events occur. Costumes, props, characters, shots, editing, sound, and lighting techniques aim to build tension and suspense for the audience in a way that is inspired by other famous thriller films. Realistic elements are contrasted with surreal themes to create an unsettling atmosphere.
The document discusses how the filmmaker attracted and addressed their audience in their film "Clairvoyant". Specifically, they used an artistic opening title sequence with dramatic music similar to the film "Black Swan". They also used static shots and mystery around the protagonist's character and what she was painting to introduce enigma codes and draw the audience in. Conventions of the thriller genre like mysteries and death were also included. The filmmaker aimed to target an older audience of 18-29 years old with a 15-18 rating and would market and distribute the film appropriately to maximize the target audience.
The music video tells a story of two wax figures representing a French soldier and peasant woman who fall in love but cannot be together. Cinematography like close-ups and rack focusing create a sense of connection between them. The color scheme uses blue to represent romance and red for pain. Imagery in a montage conveys the soldier's desire for the woman. Though the figures are inanimate, visual techniques bring their tragic relationship to life. Julian Casablancas represents the narrator singing about the experience.
The music video for "Stay with Me" by Sam Smith uses a point-of-view camera style to establish an emotional connection between the artist, song, and audience. There is minimal editing to sync the slow-paced video with the song. Scenes take place in an average suburban street and bedroom to portray Smith as a normal human and make his lyrics more relatable, despite his fame. The dimly lit bedroom also represents the darker themes in his lyrics around love and human connection.
This document discusses different genres and provides details about the thriller genre. It begins by listing several fiction genres. It then focuses on defining characteristics of thrillers, including suspense, anticipation, and fear. The history of thrillers is explored from ancient epics to modern novels and films. Codes and conventions of thrillers are examined, such as characters, themes, lighting, editing techniques, camera angles, and sound. Specific techniques like low key lighting, montage editing, and non-diegetic sound are used to build tension and suspense.
The document discusses the artist's plans for a photoshoot and album artwork to accompany their remake of Halsey's song "New Americana". They will be taking photos on the beach in Falmouth to capture the natural lighting and ocean setting. Inspired by photos of Cara Delevingne, they plan to depict a serious, powerful expression and have the models wet from the ocean. Costumes and props like fake blood and dystopian costumes will be used to realize the dystopian theme. The photos will promote messages of strength, feminism, and fight through symbolic use of the color black and serious facial expressions.

Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.

Terrance Stamp in Far From The Madding Crowd by Terrance Donovan.
1. Found in the ‘Vogue 100: A Century in Style’ exhibition in Manchester’s
City Gallery, within the 1960s section of the exhibition.
Properties of the Photograph:
- Strong use of the light beaming onto the actor’s face making the
actor, the main focus point of the photograph.
- The contrast was well planned to make the composition eye-
catching, as the ‘black’ colour background is representing the
negative space. In which the black fades into the ‘white’ colour in
which is representing the positive space of the photograph.
- The dark parts of the photograph only highlights the actor’s face
which makes the photograph powerful and have an in depth
message to the viewer.
- The scale of the photograph on the vintage bromide print is clearly
balance between the monochromes used and the relationship
between the close-up camera shot of Terrance Stamp, and the
distance, he is from the camera.
My personal interpretation to this photograph is that the black and white
contrast is the reason why the photograph of Terrance Stamp is eye-
catching, and has an in-depth, powerful message. As the photograph
highlights the young age of the actor in one of his first films.
