Cinematography blog tasks

 

1) Write an analysis of the cinematography in the opening sequence. Highlight your use of media language and try to cover camera shots, angles and movement using the terminology we have learned in lessons. 

Tracking shots that follows characters closely, close up shots to show facial expressions in detail, medium shots showing the amount of people, wide shots that show the geographical context, low angle shots show them as powerful and dominant 

2) How does the camerawork give the audience clues about the setting, narrative and character?

It emphasises the characters expression and emotions during tense times which allows viewers to connect with the emotions and feel the pain they are feeling. It shows how people are being forced into something and being separated from there family 

Secondly, find and analyse one film or TV still image. Add the image to your blogpost. 

3) Analyse the camera shot/angle in the image and what it communicates to the audience. Remember to highlight the media terminology you use.

Low camera angle to show that both the characters are powerful but one of the other characters is higher to emphasise that he is winning, medium shot to show the audience that they both have weapons and the costumes while also giving details on the facial expressions
