Mise-en-scene recreation: Learner Response

My recreation - https://youtu.be/uFX2ppZ94lo


 1) Type up your feedback from your teacher in full.

  • Fantastic choice of clip!
  • Good performance - expression and make-up particularly impressive here. Props good too (toy telephone added to comedy but perhaps lost a little in terms of the recreation!)
  • Impressive attention to detail - clear you analysed the scene in detail.
  • EBI - focus


2) Use the feedback you've been given to write your own self-assessment of your video using WWW (What Went Well) and EBI (Even Better If...)

WWW: I had good facial expressions. Costume and make-up was on point, and so was the setting and lighting.

EBI: The camera went out of focus at some parts, so I need to make sure that the lighting compliments the focus of the camera.


3) Now reflect on your own work in more detail. How did your planning help clarify and develop your ideas?


I watched the scene multiple times and made a shot list of all the shots within that clip. I also made a note of all the CLAMPS, every time the camera angle changed, I checked if the setting was placed differently. One I had that done, I wrote the script down so I could read/rehearse the line.


4) Thinking technically, how could you improve your work for future videos? (E.g. filming, editing, etc.)

Check the focus as this changes with the lighting. Mine went out of focus due to the dark lighting.


5) Finally, what have you learned regarding the importance of mise-en-scene in film and television? Write a paragraph to answer this.

Just without any dialogue or any movements from camerawork, just by looking at a picture ( a still image) you can tell what the story is behind it due to the mise-en-scene. Mise-en-scene consists of : costume, lighting, actor/placement/movement, make-up, props and setting (CLAMPS). It helps create a mood and atmosphere for the audience for what the director etc. are trying to portray.

The Specials: Ghost Town

Background and historical contexts Read  this excellent analysis from The Conversation website of the impact Ghost Town had both musically and visually . Answer the following questions 1)  Why does the writer link the song to cinematic soundtracks and music hall tradition? The music creates a "lyrical landscape" and also "reflects and engenders anxiety".  2) What subcultures did 2 Tone emerge from in the late 1970s? Mod and Punk subcultures. 3) What social contexts are discussed regarding the UK in 1981? Skinhead nights and riots were breaking out in urban area's. Deprived places were taken over by young unemployed black and white people. Places like London and Liverpool were a riot ground between these youngsters and the police. 4) Cultural critic Mark Fisher describes the video as ‘eerie’. What do you think is 'eerie' about the Ghost Town video? It sits outside of the pop convention s. It doesn't point its listeners to one specific political  v

Coursework: Print brief research and planning

  Front cover 1) Research  TV listing magazine front cover key conventions . Find at least five examples of TV listings magazine front covers and post them to your blog. This will give you a good idea of the type of magazine you need to produce. 2) Note down the  design elements  you notice in each front cover example you research and look for aspects you can use in your own work (e.g. camera shots, page design or cover lines).  The subjects are giving a direct mode of address with them constructed in the center of the page. The cover lines are placed around them. Colour schemes match with each other. 3) What  key conventions  can you find across different types of front cover - e.g. title placement, cover lines, main flash or cover line, date/price/barcode etc. All the titles/masthead are placed at the top. Cover lines are placed around the subject and not overlapping on their faces. The main flash is placed beside the main subject, referring to them in the copy. The date/price/ba

Capital: case study

  Reviews and features 1) What positive points does the review pick out about  Capital ?  What criticisms are made - either of the TV drama or the original novel? "It's all so instantly recognisable" - the similarities of Capital and the real life capital, London, are so much alike, including the house prices, the types of people etc. It was praised by critics as it is disappointingly relevant to even this decade. 2) What references can you find in the reviews and feature to the idea Capital is a 'state-of-the-nation' drama? How does it capture modern-day London? It shows how house prices are very high and how the "economy effects us all" . It also talks about immigrants and how there were a lot who migrated from southern Asian areas, and also immigrants who came illegally and who get deported.  Trailer analysis 1) How does the drama use camerawork to capture London life? The use of the drone shots capture the whole of London and the Pepys road. The me
