Work for today

Hi All

Unfortunately I am not in today

Here is the set work

I would like you to spend today focusing on your analysis skills of camera & editing

1. Look over the links I have recently posted to which will demonstrate different types of camera techniques and consider how they construct meaning (eg high angle = small weak, subjegated)

Then look over the questions under camera analysis

• composition
• shot type
• angle
• movement

2. I would like you then IN GROUPS OF 2 to look over the Dr Who script i have posted & write a shot list describing the angle, shot type and movement to construct the representation gender in the scene

If you look on the desktop on the machines you will find a movie file of the sequence with a section blacked out so you can hear the dialogue & music but not see the shots & mise en scene - this is the section i would like you to do - Connie has seen this lesson and can hopefully help you out.

There is a file under TV drama clips called Girl Who Waited mp4 it is on most of the macs copy it across


Here is a link to the youtube version -- PLEASE DO NOT WATCH PAST  4.15 AS THIS IS THE SECTION YOU ARE DOING & THIS WOULD BE CHEATING http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKs7EFbNJU4

3. I would the like you to storyboard your shots - there are some white square post-it notes on my desk. Ensure you cover the basics like COMPOSITION - where the characters are in the frame (close/distant/seperated) & SHOT REV SHOT with looking room.

4. Use the list on the Camera questions to write a 150 word commentary on your decisions using the questions
Draw these & photograph them, uploading them onto Final Cut - use Youtube for help with this.
5. Write an Analysis of the original sequence using the Camera, Sound, Mise-en-scene & Editing Questions on the blog and post on your individual TV drama blog or hand in written tomorrow. This will be marked so do a good job.

Good luck

Mr.B
