1. Complete the missing Terminology words in the slides using the 2 Harry Brown clips with screen captured examples. For sound capture the image of the prop producing the diegetic sound


2. Apply the stereotypes of Age we learned last week (and below), justify and explain HOW the analysis on the slides constructs the stereotype and 'AGED' meaning


3. Use the points in the slides to write up your analysis of the scene linked to Age stereotypes and following each step of the Framework for analysis.



Ensure you have points for all 4 Technical Areas

email to rich.barton@leighacademy.org.uk by 5pm to get your attendance mark

Homework:
Timed exam essay.

Watch the clip 4 times. Identify SIGNIFICANT technical aspects of AGE & conflict between Ages groups.


- Camera Angles, Shot Types, Composition and Movement
- Editing Transitions or Cuts, Pace of the edit, Prominence and Continuity (Shot Rev Shot, Match on Action)
- Sound - Dialogue, Soundtrack, Foley and sound effects (Diegetic or Non?)
- MES - Location, Costume, Lighting, Colours, Performance

Question: How does the clip challenge or reenforce positive or negative stereotypes of Age and how? 45 mins

Due Monday, students who have not complete the above will be using their edit time to do so in the lesson.

EDITING TERMS


_________________________ is a film technique wherein one character is shown looking (often off-screen) at another character, and then the other character is shown looking "back" at the first character.

An _________________ is a popular editing technique associated with the continuity editing system. It is based on the premise that the audience will want to see what the character on-screen is seeing. The ________________-begins with a character looking at something off-screen, there will then be a cut to the object or person at which he is looking. For example, a man is looking off-screen to his left, and then the film cuts to a television that he is watching.

______________________ Two successive shots joined so as to create a strong similarity of compositional elements (e.g., color, shape). Used in trasparent continuity styles to smooth the transition between two shots.

A ___________________ is a cut in film editing where the middle section of a continuous shot is removed, and the beginning and end of the shot are then joined together. The technique breaks continuity in time and produces a startling effect. Any moving objects in the shot will appear to jump to a new position.
____________________ is an editing technique used in films to establish continuity. In a cross-cut, the camera will cut away from one action to another action. Because the shots occur one after another, ________________ is used to suggest simultaneity of action. However, it can also be used to link significant actions that do not occur simultaneously. Suspense is built by using _______________. It is built through the expectations that it creates and in the hopes that it will be explained with time. ________________ also forms parallels; it illustrates a narrative action that happens in several places at approximately the same time.

In film, a ____________________ is the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else. It is usually, although not always, followed by a cutback to the first shot. ________________ usually do not contribute any dramatic content of their own, but help the editor assemble a longer sequence. For this reason, editors choose cutaways related to the main action, such as another action or object in the same location.[1] For example, if the main shot is of a man walking down an alley, possible cutaways may include a shot of a cat on a nearby dumpster or a shot of a woman watching from a window overhead.
In film, an _________________ is a shot of part of a scene as filmed from a different angle and/or focal length from the master shot. Inserts cover action already covered in the master shot, but emphasize a different aspect of that action due to the different framing. An insert is different from a cutaway in that the cutaway is of action not covered in the master shot.


action match,
crosscutting, parallel editing,
cutaway;
eyeline match,
graphic match,
insert.
jump cut,
shot/reverse shot, 

 
2nd Quiz

1.                          A film is divided up into sh*ts and the film c*** from one sh*t to another.
2.                          What do we mean by ‘mise-en-scene’? What things would we consider as part of a film’s mise-en-scene?
3.                          What effects are created by using low- and high-angle shots?
4.                          The edge of the screen is called the f****. We talk about the position of characters/objects within the f****.
5.                          A close-up gives audiences access to characters’ e*******.
6.                          What’s the difference between diegetic and non-diegetic sound?
