Audience : reception theory

 1) The Preferred reading of Jamie Edward Miller is that his emotional state of him looks guilty to the audiences eye and this reading is due to how aggressive he was towards the lady. 

2) The Negotiated reading of Jamie Edward Miller is that he may seem guilty in a way but may think or feel that he is acting this way is because of how anxious and scared he is because of  his "new life" as a young 13 year old experiencing juvenile is alarming. 

3) The Oppositional reading of Jamie Edward Miller is his anxiety and stress may be because of the adults making him completely liable for this wrongful murder which may lead to wanting several answer following his questions on what may happen to him. 

4) This position of how the lady is looking up frightened at how violent and aggressive his body language is towards her as he continuously uses swear words with an angry tone and slams his hand down onto the table then  throws the coffee to show how he feels at the moment. She is terrified on what to do within the situation with Jamie

The representation of young teenagers makes them seem aggressive and violent in this scene with the lady. The audience may have a preferred reading of Jamie Edward Miller because his body language and use of bad language may seem that he is guilty because his emotional state makes it look like that to the audiences eye and makes him completely liable. 

Learner Response : Darth Vadar vs Luke Skywalker scene

                   DARTH VADAR VS LUKE SKYWALKER

Mise-en-scene -

The lighting in these scene is quite shadowy and dark especially during the fight between Darth Vadar and Luke Skywalker. A good example of where this was shown is when Vadar is standing is the shadow's whereas Luke is clearly visible. This makes Vadar seem threatening and mysterious while Luke may appears more vulnerable to the audiences eye. The contrast between light and dark creates tension and makes the scene feel more dramatic. 

Camera shots and Camera Angles -

One camera shot being used is a close-up to Luke's face. This makes us focus on his emotions and allows the audience to see his fear and determination during his battle. Another example of a camera shot is a long shot showing both Luke and Vadar fighting with their lightsabers. This allows the audience to see the action clearly and understand how the characters move around throughout the setting. It makes the duel feel larger and more exciting 

A low angle shot is often used when showing Darth vadar. The camera looks up at him, making him appear powerful and dominant. This suggests that vadar is in control and is a serious threat to Luke Skywalker. It also makes the audience feel smaller in comparison to him, increasing the sense of danger. 

Sound Effects - 

Sound effects play a big role in this scene. The most obvious example is when the lightsabers clashes and Vadar's breathing heavily. These sounds makes their battle feel more intense and realistic. Vadar's beathing is effective because it constantly reminds the audience of his presence and makes him seem intimidating. 

Silence - 

Silence is used before some of the major moment in the duel. This creates suspense and makes the scene feel tense. When the action starts again, it has a bigger impact on the audience

Camerawork : Notes

                      MINORITY REPORT                           

First camera movement: 

In scene 0:11, it is a handheld camera movement as it follows the characters physical movement and gives the audience a sense of action as it may feel like they are a part of what's going on. 

Second camera movement:

In scene 0:21, it is a Zoom camera movement as the the camera comes in closer within the scene and puts our focus onto a certain prop which is a newspaper about why Captain John Anderton is a prime target on the front cover. It questions the audiences. 

Third camera movement:

In scene 1:06, it is a tilt camera movement giving us the whole setting of this exact part from a high angle point as the character is flying from a jetpack. 

Camera work : blog task

My three camera shots :

In my first image of choice is a over the shoulder shot giving us the view behind the person which gives us a visual picture of the background and to show the characters point of view. This overall picture gives a sort of creepy angle as the character doesn't notice someone watching her which may be a threat to the character.

In my second image of choice is a close up shot showing the audience the characters facial expressions of being quite worried and intense. It provides a full face picture only focusing on her stunned type of look instead of concentrating in the background like the first image shown. This picture shows a full emotional reaction of this woman's face. 

In my third image of choice is a medium close-up two shot as the camera gets closer in on the character so that the face and top of the shoulder is being shown. This is also a two shot because you can see there is two characters in one shot. You can clearly see their nervous or tense energy within the picture which gives the audience questioning further on the tv show. 

Camera angle :

In this camera angle this image shows a high angle look which put the camera looking down presenting the characters look of accomplishment since he is a huge smile which gives the audience a lot to read off by their looks of emotion. This mostly focuses on his emotional state but shows a sense of weakness and vulnerability of the character as it overpowers his strongness. 

MISE-EN-SCENE : 

The props used in the video such as the computers, phones and radios that people have on a daily basis is now used as a lifeline to get to the doctor to save humanity which shows their courageousness. The dark lighting with the colours of fire and much more creates tension and danger.

Mise-en-scene : Stranger Things analysis

 

 In the first few minutes in this opening scene, there is a very tenebrous setting due to the flickering lights showing something wrong may have happened in the laboratory.

 In this part of the scene, this has a pitch-black setting in the background with high trees that which have a very intense look to them. The darkness has a way of overpowering their bright lights on each individual bike which make them look small and fragile with there big backpacks. 

 This scene has a very childhood look to it making it seem how an average teenager would be doing. The girlish bed sheets and the dial telephone to signal how this is set in 1983s.
