George Lawrence’s Blog

Good

  • Uses various ways of analysing his work e.g. Slideshow, YouTube video of him speaking about it, re-creations of certain freeze frames in movies, pictures of his written work or just generally written on his blog post in paragraphs.

 

Opening Video

Good

  • Use of titles- showing the names of the actors involved in the opening video-shots change when the name does to represent a different actor
  • Variety of camera shots incorporated- e.g. close up, mid close up, long shot, panning and extreme close up. Low angle shot around the middle of the opening video showing a gang of youths-The use of the shot represents them as more powerful and shows the girl as the weak one.
  • Use of both diegetic and non-diegetic sounds shows variety- e.g. birds tweeting has been edited in to create a normal morning day atmosphere. Slow/happy music also contributes to the atmosphere already created.
  • Muffled sounds edited in the song when the atmosphere begins to change- sense of danger instantly created
  • Lighting and use of colours- Bright and colourful in order to add to the happy morning atmosphere
  • Mis-en-scene:

o   Costume- Grey clothing contrasts with the bright and happy atmosphere-could foreshadow that something bad may happen later on?
