Cinematography task



We used a variety of shots such as high angle, low angle, and close ups to show the different levels of emotion and scenery an audience can be exposed to. We also combined a few to show the effect they could have and how they would be used in media productions. For example, we used over the shoulder shots and handhelds in on take to present how they would be used and how it would look.

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?

The opening 45 seconds of 'Marcella', the 2016 ITV drama, begins by fading in from black, followed by a medium shot in which the main character emerges into. This immediately confuses the audience as we don't see her face  but we can tel by the lighting and music that the character is distressed. We get a sight of her bleeding temple which mirrors the effect of the lighting to create an ominous and mysterious image. The next camera shot is a compromised long shot, as she is crouched (from what we can see from behind the bloody glass) which makes the audience feel unsure and uncertain of whats to come, much like the character we see.

We are then given a close up tilt downwards of various parts of her body that are strained with blood and bruised-this all alludes t a conclusion that she has either hurt someone or been hurt. The medium shot from behind the glass is repeated as ...
