These establish genre, narrative, atmosphere and setting. Students are then asked to analyze one sequence individually and write an in-depth blog post, focusing on how technical elements create meaning and impact.
2 cinematography 1
This document provides guidance and instruction for analyzing cinematography techniques in television and film clips. It discusses the main components of cinematography including angles, movement, positions and shots. Students are instructed to watch clips and identify cinematography terms, describe shots using adjectives, and analyze how the techniques create meaning and reveal character traits. The document emphasizes focusing explanations on audience interpretation using the PEE (Point, Evidence, Explain) structure and descriptive language. Students are assigned a task to analyze how cinematography in a TV clip shapes audience understanding.
Scenic Design Chapter 15
The document discusses key aspects of scenic design including defining the performance space, establishing mood, and allowing for character movement and interaction.

Inseprable’ cc
This document provides a summary and analysis of the short film "Inseparable". It begins with basic information about the film's genre and reality-based plotline about a young father discovering he is dying and giving a drifter a chance to turn his life around. The analysis then discusses the film's narrative theory, including how it starts with a confusing scene to engage viewers and features a binary opposition between the two main characters. Stylistic elements like mise-en-scene, lighting, props, acting, setting, and sound design are described as appealing to intended audiences who enjoy independent films and dramas.
Initial plans mv final
The document outlines initial plans for three music video ideas interpreting a selected song. The first idea involves filming at a castle at night to capture vibrant lighting, with lip syncing to the music and various shots. The second focuses on a visually pleasing and realistic single shot. The third follows a character set to an upbeat Drake song with low-high camera angles while walking down stairs and past water. Strengths include scenic backgrounds and needing only one camera operator. Weaknesses are challenging lighting and limited filming periods. The final idea involves a Dave and Drake track about differences since gaining money, with a narrative reflecting grime music realism to be shown through relevant props and locations the creator can access.
Gen codes and conventions of short films
The document discusses common codes and conventions of short films. Short films typically have small casts of 2-3 actors, minimal locations that are set in familiar urban environments, and simple props and makeup. They also have limited dialogue, focus on diegetic sound, and tell more creative stories with deeper meanings compared to blockbuster films. Most short films are between 5-10 minutes long and have very low budgets, which influences creative choices around technical elements like lighting, locations, and special effects.

Representation recap 2
Here are two potential TV drama clips for analysis of gender representation:
1. Survivors (1975-77) - This BBC post-apocalyptic drama presented complex representations of gender in its portrayal of men and women struggling to survive in a world devastated by plague. It subverted stereotypes by showing female characters as capable and resourceful leaders.
