Preliminary exercise learner response

 WWW: This is a good preliminary exercise that meets the brief. The music is effective and communicates the genre appropriately alongside some tension. You’ve also got the volume level of the music spot on which is not easy (keeping it low so it doesn’t drown out the conversation). I really like the opening close-up and you also have some nice character movement and camera movement to keep the audience engaged in the conversation. EBI: The major aspect that holds this back is both characters having the same mask on – it makes it very difficult for the audience to work out what is going on. In addition, the early lines of dialogue are not very clear (due to background noise and perhaps the mask obscuring it too) so this makes it difficult to get into the scene for the audience.

I will also be using mise-en-scene such as many different camera shots as close-ups that will emphasise the characters facial expression and reaction. Medium shots that will suggest  the gesture and position of the characters ,and this will convey tension which reinforces fantasy and sci-fi genre.I will have both of my characters wearing black and a different colour to suggest the different  leaders and one of them will be wearing a black mask, I will be doing that to show more fantas

Learner response - blog tasks

 1) Type up your feedback in full - WWW & EBI. You do not have to write your mark and grade if you don't want to. WWW- Lots of good media language analysis and great to see extended responses in real detail. EBI- revise narrative theory and social class. - exam technique: answer the question! must focus on key wording in the question.  Grade 5  2) Look at Question 3 in the assessment - the media analysis of the Under Armour advert. Use CLAMPS to revise mise-en-scene and write about each element of CLAMPS for the Under Armour advert.  C - The player is wearing red and black rugby kit which is a under armour shirt, shorts and shoes to show off the brand and to clear for us how the advert is targeted at the under armour brand. the red rugby shirt clearly cannotates that the man has strength and that he is strong as the fire and he has so much power as also how the clear logo on the shoes suggests how the under armour brand is helping and giving him all the power and pushing him fo
