Lighting blog task

 

Low key lighting as there's shadows and you are able to see the smoke as that's what it focuses on. 

There's under lighting as well as back lighting. 

This shows me shes a villain as she is smoking and as she is in the dark. 






 

Low key lighting as she is in a dark room and you see her face clearly but not her body which shows she is emerged into the shadows. 

There's top lighting and back lighting. 

This gives me the effect that she is scared and that she is hiding.






High key lighting as there are more filter lights being used. 

There's an element of back lighting. 

This gives me the effect that he may be about to fight. 






High key lighting again as there are more filter lights being used. 

There's an element of top lighting. 

This gives me the effect that he is also a villain.

film noir, (French: “dark film”) style of filmmaking characterized by such elements as cynical heroes, stark lighting effects, frequent use of flashbacks, intricate plots, and an underlying existentialist philosophy. The genre was prevalent mostly in American crime dramas of the post-World War II era. Out of the Past.

Noir filmmaking was heavily influenced by German expressionism, French poetic realism, and an art deco style, giving the black and white films noir films of the 1940s and '50s their own distinct mood, perspective, and tone.




This is film noir due to the high key lighting as there are lots of filter lights. There's also under lighting as well as back lighting and top lighting at some points in the clip. These lightings create shadows. In this clip there are also enigma codes as well as an action code.

  1) Research: TV crime drama extract analysis: TV crime drama extract 1: Narrative and genre How is the narrative and the crime drama genre communicated to the audience? Extract 1: NCIS:   The initial entry in the NCIS media franchise is the American military police drama television series NCIS. The fictional team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigation Service serves as the focus of this comedy-drama series that blends aspects of the police procedural and military drama genres.   This show is a hybrid of genres meaning it consists of more than one: Action, Military, Police protocol and Thriller. The narrative of this story is that they solve multiple criminal cases. This creates suspense for the audience as it leaves them wanting more and to find out what will happen next which means that it keeps the audience on the edge of their seats which I believe is a good thing. Due to the fact that they are solving criminal crimes, this connotes that it's a crime drama to

 The birds (1963):    In the beginning there was match on action as you see the car from one angle and then you see it again but from a different angle. The singing of the children is diegetic sound as it's actually happening in the film sequence. There's a tracking shot and a POV shot.   The cut between the shots of the woman and the birds creates suspense as every time the camera switches back to the birds, the number of  birds increase and by the end of the video sequence there is a massive increase in the amount of birds seen. This is unexpected. There's a sound bridge  of the children singing in the background as you can't see them singing but it is still going on. Every time the camera switches to the woman it gets closer and so this is an extreme close up . This is dramatic irony as we know that there are birds behind her that increase over time however she is oblivious to the birds behind her until she notices one in the air flying around. This realisati

1) Choose at least three TV dramas similar to your concept and watch at least one scene from each. Make bullet-point notes on everything you watch, commenting on camerawork, editing, sound and mise-en-scene. 1)   Top boy - clip stef and ZT get back on mails:   the mise en scene of the nice cars (from the money they made through drugs). T he empty petrol station suggesting that it is late at night so no pedestrians will see to help them. The costuming of the tracksuits and the bally (face masks) being used as it is an typical UK road man/gangster costuming which builds the British culture feeling. The props of guns being used and pulled out builds up tension as the audience as on edge waiting to see if someone will get injured. The mid shots during the fit to show multiple people fighting then the close up when they are speaking to show the facial expression clearly build up more intensity furthermore the tense non dietetic sound builds up more intensity. Intense fighting to begin with.
