LO: To explore the use of setting and colour in films

Setting: 

1) a isolated is scary because its in he middle of nowhere and there is no one out to help you 

2) a huge city is not as scary because there will be someone out to help so that is why its good for action movies and series

3) a tiny seaside town is good for a romantic comedy and can be very social and quiet place for quiet movie 

1) blue and red is good for a a super hero costume because red represents strength and power but blue means trusting 

2) black is associated with mystery agression and sometimes death thats why its good for horror movies 

3) Bright colours represent sort of happiness or maybe easter

1) the action was taken place in a crash site, a city and the countryside

2) to add suspense

3) it transitions to different frames

4)it might affect them by they don't know where they are 

5) by the change of camera shots 

6) no because it wouldn't fit the genre of movie 

7) by the change of lighting and different areas

8) the technology and types of buildings 

the legend- it looks quite sandy so its like action and adventure and looks quite dull 

28 days later- the symbol looks like a toxic sigh and looks to be set in a city

the scientist which is set 1000 years ago i would associate this film with the colour green because it seem a bit mysteros and its a sci fi

2.iron  man 

3.spider man 

4. titanic 

5 pirates of the Caribbean

That they play the guitar,they are a messy person

Mise-en-scene

it is a french term meaning what is put into a scene or frame 

setting and props

sci-fi

uses speculative, fictional science-based depictions of phenomena that are not fully accepted by mainstream science

romantic comedy

focusing on lighthearted, humorous plot lines centered on romantic ideas, such as how true love is able to surmount most obstacles

Horror film 

 incidents of physical violence and psychological terror

Costume hair & make up 

1. adventurer thats most probably in a Savannah or rough land 

2. she look like abit snobby and very girly 

facial expressions & body language 

1. very calm and civilised and just looks like a normal tea  

 

Lighting & colour 

it looks very dark like they are hiding or worried 

looks like it is set in a horror film so it is low-key lighting 

  

high-key

Lighting is natural and realistic to our eyes

low-key

produces sharp contrasts of light and dark areas

Positionioning of people/objects

1looks quite stand off ish and is quite awkward 

2 looks abit intimidating and are brave 

Monday 7th February 2022
L/O:  To  experiment  with foley and sound effects

In this setting it shows 3 men standing at the dinner table looking like they need to inform someone the lighting is natural that makes it look realistic by using high-key lighting this shows is in the day is has posh setting the costumes are army uniform and the man in the middle was in worn down and their facial expressions and they look quite stand off ish characters are standing still and look like they are waiting 

Creative task

1000 years in the future- i would give the scientists test tubes and vibrant liquid with some high tech equipment and they would be wearing those white coats with the clear protective glasses and the lighting would be rlly bright and they would most probably be quite clean and stand leaning down
