Editing Skins Example 2

The pace of editing during the montage of the protagonist working out gets faster. This shows hes image conscious and that he has to rush because he may have a busy lifestyle. This conforms with the stereotype of teens who are seen to be very much obsessed with being seeing attractive by the opposite sex and that they also  live busy and disorganised lifestyles. However, the music we hear during this montage is very repetitive and steady, this contrasts the mood we get from the pace of editing.

Editing Skins Example

Parallel editing is used to show that the boy and girl are related and have a strong relationship. We can see through the parallel editing that they lead very different teenage lives, showing binary opposite characters. She is coming home; rebelling against house rules and he has been in his own bed. This conforms to Levi Strauss' idea that all narratives have opposites. The two narrative threads come together as she reaches the window and the cut a ways show that she relies on him to cover up for her.

Sound Skins Example 2

The non diegetic music that the boy plays in his room during his work out montage is repetitive and in a single tone. This could suggest that teens enjoy routine and structure in their lives. This argues the regular stereotype that usually believes that teens are very messy and disorganised people. Its played during a montage of the protagonist working out and getting ready for school, this suggests this is a regular theme in his life, being the same routine every morning while also suggesting hes a very alone and boring person. This again argues the stereotype of teens who are usually very social and loud people.

Sound Skins Example

The dialogue between the father and the son shows a reversal in audeince expectations. We see the father shouting and swearing at the teenager, which is normally something we would expect to hear from the teenager. The father's aggressive reaction to the diegetic rock music plays to the stereotype that teenagers play loud music and are inconsiderate to older people. His reaction also plays to the stereotype that teenagers frustrate their parents.

Mise on Scene Example 3 - Skins

The mise on scene of the girl in the scene is a binary opposite of the boy we have already met. We see her walking down the road in the morning, obviously after spending a long night out. This conforms with the stereotype of teenagers that we enjoy to party and don't really care about anything else. We hear the sound of her heels on the ground, telling us shes wearing high heels. This tells us that shes trying to act like more of an adult than she is. We think this because we see heels as a typically more older thing. Her clothes are all very revealing, this conforms with the stereotype of teens that we want to look good and sexy for the opposite sex. This is one part of the stereotype that both the boy and girl have in common. This could be on purpose as teens being sexually charged is the largest stereotype for the teens age group. Finally, we see that these clothes are messy and obviously the same as she wore last night, we also see her make up is a mess. This all also conforms the stereotype of teens that we are very messy.

Camera angles example - Skins

The idea that teenagers are curious about sex is reinforced through the over the sholder shot used when he is looking at the older woman getting dressed through the window over the road. The shot is hand held so that the audience can have the same experience as the teenage main character. The following close up shot shows a lack of expression suggesting that this is routine and he has become disaffected by the image. This conforms to the stereotype that teenagers' lives are surrounded by sex and it plays a big part of their life.

Mise on Scene Example 2 - Skins

The mise on scene of the protagonists bedroom again conforms and challenges the typical stereotype for this age. From the shots we see, his room seems very tidy and clean. We see this when he finds his shirt from inside the drawer, all nicely folded and placed away. This challenges the stereotype that most teenagers are messy people. However, parts of his room also conform with the stereotype. We see a lot of technology in his room, such as the stereo and the digital alarm clock, this conforms to the stereotype that teenagers are also very up to date and at one with technology. We also see his set of weights on the floor, suggesting that the protagonist likes to look after himself and make himself look good for the opposite sex. This again conforms with the stereotype of teenagers that their life is all about image and attraction to the other sex.

Mise on Scene Example - Skins

The mise on scene of the protagonists room conforms and challenges the stereotype of this particular age group. The first shot we see of the protagonist shows him in bed under his duvet cover of a naked man and women, suggesting that teenagers are very much sexually charged, this conforms with the stereotype of youth. He is purposely placed in the middle of the two naked bodies, this could suggest that the boy is alone and confused about his sexuality, this conforms with the stereotype of the teenage years. Natural lighting is used through this shot, this is used to give a sense of realism and to give the teenage audience the idea that this is a real life situation.

How 'my boy Jack' appeals to audiences

My boy Jack appeals to different audiences in very different ways. Firstly, it appeals to the older generation, this could be called its main target audience. This is because many of these will have been around while the war was happening and therefore they would like to see another story about a part of history they were involved in. It also appeals to the older generation because its a TV Drama. Many historical TV dramas are aimed at the older generations because of the time they were set in and the fact older people enjoy TV dramas more than some of the younger people of the U.K.
However, My Boy Jack also appeals to the younger generations. This is done with the casting of Daniel Radcliffe. Just about all of the teenagers will know of Daniel Radcliffe from Harry Potter. He is a huge star in the film world and this can then be called a high production value for the one part drama. This brings in the teenage audience.
This may also appeal to people who are just interested in the war. As the whole story line is around the war and how it effected all of us. They may be interested in watching this drama just to gain another view or take on what occurred in the war.

Manor House - Upper class, darkness in rooms shows mood of the boys, sad/nervous

Props: All very upper class, like the fancy watch. All very realistic for time period.

Lighting/shadow: Bright sunny day outside, represents freedom/happiness. This is in contrast to in the manor house wheres its dark and gloomy, represents the sad/nervous mood of the mood.

Clothing: All relevent to the time period they are trying to portray. All in very neat clothing. One man obviously higher than the others from his medals and suit.

Dialogue
Short and formal conversation talk. Poshly spoken, relates to their clothing, obviously wealthy people. Last name terms shows weak relationships or lack of power to other member of conversation.

Apocalypse Now - Sound Analysis

0:00 - 0:23 - We hear off screen and on screen diegetic sound. Some of the helicopters and soldiers are on screen when they are making noise, but not all of them are on screen at once. So there is always some off screen diegetic too.
0:22 - 0:26 - We see soldiers talking; this is the on screen diegetic. We can also hear several helicopters at the same time, this is off screen. However, the talking starts before we see the people, this is a sound bridge and is used to link the two shots together.
0:27 - 1:00 - We see all the helicopters taking off. This is mostly onscreen diegetic, but there is also some off screen as we don’t see all the helicopters at one time. We then also hear and see a man playing them out, this was again on screen diegetic, until he goes off screen.
1:01 - 1:15 - The sound of the helicopters falls into the distance as the sound turns into a disorientated sound, much like a siren of some sort. This would also be called parallel sound, as it gives us a sense of danger as we see the helicopters go towards what we believe to be battle. It then slowly turns into a small bit of orchestral sound track; this links us to the next shot.
1:16 - 2:05 - The soundtrack continues with the sound of the helicopters just behind them. This is all also joined by the manipulated siren again at points to again give us a feeling of danger. This is helped when we see a concentrated yet worried looking soldier in the shot too. This is all again, parallel sound.
2:06 - 3:20 - The music and siren stops as we begin to get dialogue from the soldiers as they prepare for battle. We still again hear the helicopters; this is off screen as we only see the inside of the chopper. As we hear the sound it makes it more believable for the viewer.
3:21 - 4:37 - Another soundtrack comes on, this is parallel sound as the song is fairly fast and violent, and the images we are shown show the soldiers preparing for war. This shows us that things will soon get violent.
4:38 - 4:56 - Silence falls as we see a small and quiet town. We hear off screen diegetic with the sound of a dog and children playing and singing. They then become on screen at the back of the shot.
4:57 - 5:08 - A women runs on screen shouting, this is on screen diegetic. All play and singing stops and silence hits again. This is contrapuntal sound as the nice, happy town is now silent and dead.
5:09 - 5:36 - The music and helicopter sounds kick in again as we see them onscreen. We then have the opposing army getting ready for battle as we hear the sound of the helicopters. This is off screen, but the sound of the army preparing is on screen as we hear them running and their equipment rattling.
5:37 - 7:15 - The music goes to the back of the sounds we can hear now as we hear gun fire and explosions smash against the town. This is on screen diegetic. This music is quieter but is still parallel sound as the music is violent and fast and the mood is also shown in the fights on screen. We hear the soldiers talking over radio about tactics and the fight. We can also just hear the opposing army shouting and screaming in pain as they all get shot down and destroyed. This again, makes it more real for the viewer, as they can see and hear violence in more than one way.
7:16 - 8:02 - The music stops as the battle intensifies, this is so the viewer is completely focused on the battle and what the soldiers say, as this is now important to the next part of the film and there is also more dialogue.
8:03 - 9:00 - We can now hear the music again, this is played again to enhance the mood now that the viewer does not need to know what the soldiers say. We also still hear the helicopters and the sound of gunfire; this still helps make the viewer believe the experience more.
9:01 - 13:16 - The music stops again as the battle gets difficult for them, this is done to make the viewer focus on what is happening in the film now. It also makes them more aware of how bad the explosions and shots are. It gives them a more realistic view of the fight as the main troops land and take up their roles.
13:17 - 13:25 - We have off screen diegetic as we hear the captain’s radio transmission while looking at the plane which he is talking to. This tells us who he’s talking to and what to expect soon.
13:26 - 15:57 - We re-join the battle; our on screen sound is the dialogue we get between the soldiers. But because there is meant to be a war still occurring, we have a lot of off screen sound. This includes gun fire, explosions and helicopters.
15:58 - 17:10 - We still have all our off screen sounds of war, but now we can also hear a slight sound of an upbeat track. This is parallel sound as it is played with the men standing up as they know the battle is over and they are confidently getting back to their feet.
17:11 - 18:12 - The music takes a slight turn to a more intense feel as a couple of shots come close to the men, keeping the mood of the music the same as the one portrayed in the images. It then calms down again as they get to safety, again making the more a more confident and happy one, to keep with the mood of the shots.

Types of camera shot

Type of Shot Work

Example of a tilt shot

The tilt shot is used here to show how dominate and superior buzz is compared to all the other toys we've seen so far. This shot also adds tension as the viewer awaits to see the new arrivals face.

Example of an arc shot

The arc shot is used here to show how amazed the man is by the sight around him. Thousands of people cheering him on. The arc shot gives the viewer the same amazed feeling as the player.

Example of a whip pan

A whip pan is used here to show the speed that the car goes round there corner in the chase to catch his man. The extra speed in the move of the camera enhances this making the car look like a flash of blur passing by.

Example of a rolling shot

The rolling shot was used here to show how bad Horatio feels after being shot. This feeling is also enhanced by the shot being blurred. This all shows the viewer that Horatio is helpless to save his co worker from certain death.

Example of a pan shot

This pan shot has been used to really show the viewer the speed at which these cars are going when they take the jump. Because the camera is fixed and just pivots it lets the cars speed past, this helps show the fast pace of the chase.

Example of a tracking shot

Although a track probably wasnt used here, the car is tracked from two angles in this part. Firstly its tracked from the back of the car, this is to show the viewer that the women is in the boot, screaming for help while it slowly moves towards the sea. This gives the viewer a sense of danger. Secondly, its followed from the top of the car, this shows the seconds before the car falls to the sea, this view shows the viewer that there is no way out for the women. This gives the viewer a sense of sympathy for the women but also a sense of shock as they see the car plummet.

Example of a crane shot

This crane shot is used to show how alone and at risk Horatio is after being shot. It gives a bigger view of the scene to show the viewer that Horatio is completely isolated. This gives the viewer a sense of drama.

The Big 6: Walt Disney Presentation

View more presentations from joshclarkee.

Example of a Zoom shot

This has been used here to focus the viewers attention on the new focus of this scene. The boy is not in the film until then. So the viewer needs to be shown that he is now important in this part. Therefore a zoom shot is used

Example of an Aerial shot

An aerial shot has been used here to give the viewer a birds eye view of the deserted desert that the new convicts are travelling through to reach prison. It gives the viewer a sense of how empty and horrible the enviroment that the new cons face.

Example of a hand held camera shot

This has been used to give the viewer as sense of realism. It gives the viewer a real detailed view through the mans eyes. This is helped by the slight movement during the video, as if the man is tilting his head while putting his socks on. All of this helps it seem real to the viewer.
