  Cinematography practical task I have created an intimidating mysterious scene using the various different shots to create enigma codes for the audience. The different shots are mainly to highlight what's in the bag and why its being hidden.

Fast & Furious (2001) Brian Opening Scene (1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse) [Full HD/1080p] 1) This scene contained a close up of the driver pushing down on the pedals and tracking shots of the car to show its speed. There was also a few high shots to give the audience glances of the type of car and what it looked like. There are extreme close ups of the gear getting changed, portraying the speed of the car will increase. There is a medium shot of the driver before he starts driving which initiates there will be an incident with the character in the next scene. There is long shots of the car to also give the audience a good look at how the car looks and there is a closeup of the speed to show the audience how fast the car is going. There is extreme long shots of the city to set the scenery for the audience. 2) The camerawork can give the audience clues about what could happen in the scene and could also give good in tell on what the character is feeling. The camerawork is also goo...

This film was about a teenage girl trying to become a better person and finding a boyfriend. The audience for this film would be targeted towards 12+ or teenagers. I liked the humour of this film and the structure of how the plot panned out. I would say the film is more targeted towards teenage girls than boys but there are also some links boys can have to it. For example the different boy groups in the high school and how they are segregated depending on how they are. I did not like the the relationship between between the protagonist and the character 'Josh'. This is because they were once step siblings and later on developed romantic feelings towards each other which I found surprising and was not good for the narrative. Overall i would recommend this film towards teenagers and I enjoyed majority of this film.

Teacher feedback:  WWW: - good editing  - good transitions - good use of sound - good use of images EBI: - have a better ending where images fade out into black Student feedback: WWW: - good contrapuntal sound  - good parallel sound - good contrapuntal images - good parallel images - good switch  EBI: -  better ending Reflection: I think my video had a clear view of contrapuntal sound and images as well as a clear view of parallel sound and images. It was clear to see which images were contrapuntal and which were parallel. The images were very contrasting and the switch to the different images was clear and precise. I think i could've ended the video better with better editing however the rest of the video was edited well. Top 3: - Daffyd because his video was unique as the lyrics matched his video - Frankie because he had clear contrast in his video and well selected images - Jasneet because i liked the meaning behind his images and the variety Sound and film: ...

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2PsfXZ3wyY This clip uses a majority of diegetic sound such as the banging against the walls, the glass shattering, the car getting smashed, the spitting, the screaming and groaning of the men. The non-diegetic sound is used for the sound effect of the punching. This is because the punching is acted and not real, therefore needing a sound effect post filming, making it a non-diegetic sound. This clip uses parallel sounds throughout the whole scene because all the sounds heard match the scene and what is happening within the scene. There isn't any contrapuntal sound where the sound doesn't match the action in the scene. There is also a sound bridge where the 2 men r fighting and the camera switches to the people who got caught by police and u can still hear the sounds of the men fighting because if the groaning and the broken objects on the floor moving because the men are rolling on it. There is a fast-paced music playing in the backgr...

 https://youtube.com/shorts/cHIHvEYjoBM?feature=share I have made a montage using a classical music sound of a violin. This is a very classy sound that gives the impression of an upper class status. The sound is parallel in the first 30 seconds of the video where the images used are of instruments used in the sound and classy images and art portraits. The sound then switches contrapuntal half way through the video where the images switch to a scary, horrific genre. This doesn't match the classy sound of the background music, making it contrapuntal.
