  WWW: You’ve posted work to your blog including the most difficult piece of work so far – the practical mise-en-scene recreation. That recreation was an impressive piece of production work and you met the deadline despite not being in class for the screening. However, there is also some unfinished work here so we need to use this as a lesson in getting work fully complete. EBI: Make sure you check the following and email me when everything is fully up-to-date: Mise-en-scene analysis tasks:  https://mediamacguffin12.blogspot.com/2023/09/film-tv-language-mise-en-scene-blog.html Mise-en-scene LR task:  https://mediamacguffin12.blogspot.com/2023/09/film-tv-language-mise-en-scene-video.html Your mise-en-scene analytical task offers a good level of detail for the still image analysis (nice link to your recreation too) but you then don’t analyse the two clips which is the second part of the work. Your film poster analysis is weaker as you write very little for each poster so ju...

1) Still image analysis Look at the still images on slides 33-37 of the Film Language Powerpoint linked above. Copy the images into your blog and answer the following questions for  each  image: Identify examples of  high  and  low-key  lighting. Say which depict  top ,  back  or  under lighting . What  effects  are created by the lighting in each image?     1.  low key lighting. Top, under, back. Mysterious 2 .Low key lighting. top .mystery 3 . low key, hard lighting, back 4 .low key, top mystery. 5 .high key, top back and front. scary 6 .low key, top side, mystery. 7 .low key, hard lighting ,back walking out sensation, 8 .low key, side and under. mystery. 9 .high key top back, 10 .low key ,back, mystery. 11 .low key, under light and back, romantic. 2) Film noir research  Research  film noir  - focusing on the genre’s distinctive lighting style. Make notes on the genre and particularly the us...

  Feedback from Mr Halsey: This is a really good choice of clip – very achievable to recreate. Actor placement, movement and expression is a major part of mise-en-scene and your performance is good in this regard – the body language matches the original clip pretty well. I’m not so sure on Obaida’s accent however! I can see how you’ve tried to match the location for mise-en-scene but I wonder if you could have found somewhere a little closer to the original – particularly for the shot of the jacket hanging up. One major EBI is to do with camerawork and in particular shot framing. If you look at your shots side-by-side to the original you’ll find a lot of dead space above Obaida’s head whereas in the original the top of Jackie Chan’s hair is actually cut off. Over-the-shoulder shots are very difficult to frame so this is a good lesson for the future. Although the task was mise-en-scene, another big learning point is audio levels and background noise. You need to make sure it is smoo...
