Cinematography Task - Learner response

 Cinematography video feedback/learner response



WWW:


  • Clear written description, with some explanations – highlighting media terminology; 
  • Excellent idea to include a voiceover; • Effective use of on-screen titles – positioned well – to label shots; 
  • Great opening close-up shot and movement downwards; 
  • Accomplished continuity editing – economical story-telling; 
  • Very effective use of music – appropriate for the narrative; 
  • Some superb cinematography and editing throughout! 
EBI:


  • The opening ‘pan’ is actually a downward ‘tilt’; • Avoid two similar shots in succession (e.g. the close-ups of the phone); 
  • The 180-degree rule is broken when the protagonist goes through the door; 
  • Attention to detail – camera operator can be seen indoor reflection; 
  • Missed opportunities to include zoom in/out; 
  • The ‘tracking shot’ at the end is actually a ‘pan’; 
  • 'The End’ title would have been better as a film title as it’s like a trailer. 

I asked Nadima, whilst in the lesson, to give me feedback on my task. She said that she liked the voice-over along with the music that I included in the background. 



My Self-Evaluation:


WWW: 

  • I successfully completed what was assigned to me. 
  • I used sound effects to further convey the emotions that the protagonist is feeling 
  • I showed skills in terms of editing 

EBI:

  • I needed to label all of the shots
  • Ensure that I am labelling the correct shot name
  • Avoid similar shots


This task allowed me to experiment with different shots and angles. It also allowed me to get more experience when editing a short film/clip. When incomes to completing coursework in the summer, I will pay attention to minor things so that my whole project is perfect. I will also use a range of camera shots that I did not use in this task, such as the crane shot etc.

Music Video: Common - Letter to the Free

Music Video: Common - Letter to the Free Social and cultural context Common has been involved in a project with  John Legend in which these two successful artists wrote  Glory  as the soundtrack for  Selma. Selma was a  2014 film portraying the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches, a key moment in the Civil Rights Movement The 13th Amendment of the American Constitution was passed on January 31 1865 and it was to abolish slavery in the United States and provides that neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist in the US. The Black Codes were laws in the Southern states that had an intent of restricting African American's freedom to   ensure their availability as a cheap labour force after slavery was abolished during the Civil War People suggest that the legacy of slavery is still a crucial aspect of American culture 150 years after it was abolished by the 13th Amendment. This is because a lot of sacrifices were made to reach that point. Countless fighting and lives taken res
