Funny Games (2001) 1. What is the director saying about the family from the choice of music played? The use of music played at the start of the video is that they are of an upper higher class due to them listening to classical music which is categorised as being of a higher class audience. On top of that the use of having the family dressed in quite expensive looking clothes while listening to that music creates a sense of them being wealthy and posh. 2. How would you describe this use of music? The very few first scenes start off as being diegetic and parallel as the music fits the appropriate scene and mis-en-scene shown. Originally the music is used as background music until the dialogue between the characters is audible as they now begin talking about the song as they try and guess what song it is and by doing this we continue to get the idea that they are upper class family that are also quite wealthy. Suddenly the music becomes non-diegetic and contrapuntal

Mood Board The Video Concept Originally  i was inspired by several horror movie actresses such as Harley Quinn from suicide squad as the use of make up made the actor seem very intriguing and therefore i had decided to change my stars persona to a female horror actress. When planning the video i had Incorporated all aspects of Mis-En-Scene. For example The use of scars and blood are typical key characteristics of the common horror movie that is released as these clearly show that this will be linked to horror in some form. The use of the mood board helped create the idea of having a very pale skin face on my star as several female horror actresses had quite light/pale skin. Once the transformation occurred i decided to lower the lights and make a darker atmosphere as by doing this it creates a more mysterious feel meaning a more intrigue to the star.

Talk about it The expectations that I have on the main character is he will be a character who will be struggling to make friends in the neighbourhood. His family will not really care about him and his Mum will not really support him in school and academically. He also finds it difficult in school to learn from the teachers because he is always getting bullied by the other kids in the school because of his sexuality. I think that the film should the hardship and struggle that chiron went through to help build up his courage and change his life's desire from him being bullied in school into changing his path and becoming a new and innovated person, this is done by the use of his past having a effect on him in the current time I think this film is going to be a sad and sympathetic film which is set in an American city. It is going to show how a young black man to struggles to discover is identity and sexuality because he had no support from his family but he was trying to get help

Explanation -  When recording and creating the video I had incorporated all shots that had been discussed to therefore make my video fit what the brief was asking for, this was done by the use of framing and camera work as to do this camera work I needed to get a range of shots and angles of two as they played football. In a couple of the shots I had used football as the subjects of the scene to change the scenes that all the other films will have by having a different subject.

The Impossible (2012) Firstly, all the sound is diegetic sound. So, diegetic sound comes from the world of the film we are watching. This could include dialogue by characters in the scene or music or other sound that comes from a source we would naturally expect that sound to come from, example: a radio or a TV.  At first the sound being made was the sound by the sea which was just located behind the trees and the accommodation was located in front of the trees. Slowly the sound of the sea started to get louder and the producer did this slowly every second because it created suspense for the audience  and therefore make the opening scene more intriguing by just sound and no dialogue yet.t. Once the noise went very loud that indicated that the wave was coming towards them and the people started panicking and the wave was to strong that it just wiped everything away in its path and the sound produced was the impact of when the water was hitting and smashing away everyt

Film Noir - A style or genre of cinematographic film marked by a mood of pessimism, fatalism, and menace. Film Noir movies and Neo-Noir movies are known to be extremely dark and use minimal lighting therefore several people tend to call it black and white films.. Mainly low key lighting is used to emphasise the dark and the light tones of the film and high key is used to create mystery as there is no obvious explanation as to why several things happen in the film until after it has occurred causing major suspense and mystery. When describing Film noir they are several terms people tend to use to describe film noir such as, A foggy background, Shadowy figures (Back-light), Grainy Film style, The graphic novel aesthetic (neo-noir) The Big Sleep (1946) The movie "The Big Sleep" is a film noir made in 1946 is a detective story which revolves around a detective as most noir films are, who is hired by a rich family to solve a case yet is not told much, this leads

       In this picture from the film Batman vs. Superman we can see that Superman is rated quite highly just from this one scene has he is surrounded by all his fans wanting to touch him which clearly shows he is highly regarded and respected in this city. Costume: The use of costume makes this scene very iconic due to the fact that this suit is very recognisable as the blue and red colours which could be interpreted as being as being very patriotic as Superman has similar colours as well as always serves his country in that manner. Lighting: The use of having dark colours near and around Superman creates the idea that they are living in quite a dark world and is quite misty and moody. However the use of having a big bold light on Superman himself creates and idea of him being someone they can look up to and maybe there is some hope as he is the opposite of the nearby surroundings. As they are all dressed in dark colours however superman is wearing quite brigh
