Cinematography Learner Response

WWW:

  • various shots used for the video
  • entertaining and the shots were very clear
  • accurately labelled shots and lots of shots were shown, shows clear understanding  of topic
  • there were lots of shots and camera movement, the music fitted "noice"
  • great filming I wonder who did that
  • range of shots were accurate, music went well with the video
  • good music, good shots and good attempt at focus pull
  • good and accurate s hots, well matched to the music
  • great song choice, a wide variety of shots that were correctly used
  • effective use of shots  throughout the video, matched well to the music. Used a wide variety of shots

EBI:

  • The focus pull could have been better but overall the video was really good
  • Some of the shots were repeated (I think)
  • Use better text I didn't like it
  • Inclusion of Saira
Mr Halsey:
  • Very opening scene- surely a medium close up?
  • Generally this is well-shot with some good camera movement in particular(the handheld is very smooth,feels like a steadicam shot-impressive)
  • In terms of structure and editing, no obvious structure and the random frames of black were a little strange.
  • Good, comprehensive coverage of what we've learned in cinematography.
With this feedback I can see that I need to work on my focus pulls as it wasn't quite right, however I can see from my classes reaction that I achieved the objective of the task. Also, the first shot was labelled incorrectly as Mr Halsey pointed out, as it was more of a medium shot than a close up. I can also see where I used black space that could have been filled.

Sound task feedback LR

Sounds Task: LR "Superb audience reaction-immediately gets a response which is a great sign. I'm not sure how contrapuntal the images/videos at the start are... perhaps because it is so well edited in time with the music? Because of this, there wasn't a dramatic shift between the two elements which I always look for with this task. Clear thought behind this in terms of audience effect + gratifications... this was made to entertain!" Class WWW: "Music goes entirely contrapuntal with the ballerina clip, while some of the clips are parallel to the 'Murder she wrote.'"song. "You changed the pace of the editing to match the music and used a mix of both images and videos. You made it very clear when it was contrapuntal/parallel sounds." "The comedic effect of the first half worked perfectly. The play of the words of the music "Murder She Wrote" and showing the image of the show and the other images made it solid. The seco

Introduction to Radio

BBC Sounds Read  this Guardian feature on the launch of BBC Sounds  and answer the following questions: 1) Why does the article suggest that ‘on the face of it, BBC Radio is in rude health’?

Radio 2 alone reaches 15 million listeners a week and for  all the criticism of the Today programme  (“editorially I think it’s in brilliant shape,” says Purnell), one in nine Britons still tune in to hear John Humphrys and his co-presenters harangue politicians every week. ' 2) What percentage of under-35s use the BBC iPlayer catch-up radio app? 3% 3) What is BBC Sounds?

Reviews and features Read the following reviews and features on  Deutschland 83 : The Guardian - Your next box set: Deutschland 83 Daily Telegraph review The Guardian - Deutschland 83 Pity the Germans don't like it 1) What positive aspects of  Deutschland 83  are highlighted in the reviews? The period drama included a  lot of 80's culture that was very well received by the British viewers. For exampl, the music was very nostalgic, the costumes and the props (the walkman). 2) What criticisms are made of the show? ' By focusing the story around Martin Rauch, a young East German border guard going undercover in the west, it doesn’t just make the viewer empathise with a Stasi agent on a human level – in the way The Lives of Others did – it makes us engage with the socialist regime’s worldview, in which a military exercise in West Germany poses a potentially   existential threat . Yet as if to make up for such a radical premise, it then backtracks into stereotype. Stasi offi
