Write  three  WWWs and  three  EBIs. In my cinematography video, I included a good range of shots and angles and I also labelled them accurately, however, I had multiple missed opportunities to label some shots. I also had good camera movement which made it extremely easy to identify new shots. In my next video I need to make a video for 60 seconds and no less than that. I also need to make sure that there are not multiple audios playing at t...

  In working together me and Rukiya filmed our videos in a few  cuts   we tried to incorprate man different varieties of shots  as possible of our subject to keep our video as smooth as possible without looking too blunt. Moreover, we then both did our  editing  which required us to label our different  movements  and  shots  as accurately as possible. I used transitions within every cut so that there are no harsh stops and so that each shot that is presented is introduced smoothly. I also added rain sounds in the background to establish a serene and calm atmosphere which perfectly fits in my video as it is almost like a montage.

1)  The opening of this movie 'It' uses  low-key lighting  to perpetuate an  intense atmosphere  which allude to the storyline of this movie. Perhaps, the effective use of   under lighting  creates a sinister feeling for the audience as the darkness  connotes  crime, death and mystery. The close-up shots creates an atmosphere filled with mystery and establishes an extremely uncanny feeling for the audience. 2) How does the camerawork give the audience clues about the setting, narrative and character?  The close-up shots creates an atmosphere filled with mystery and establishes an extremely uncanny feeling for the audience. Perhaps, this is done intentionally so that the audience can comprehend the personality of the main character.

 This clip uses non- digetic sound as there is a piano playing in the background which has been added post production. The noise of the piano emphasises the dark and creepy scene which creates an atmosphere of emptiness which alludes to the image message that they’re trying to convey. The low-key lighting enhances this non-digetic sound as it adds depth into the role of the scene.

 Sound practical task: First half:  Parallel sound (music that is associated with the scene) is used as there are pictures of natures beauty which connotes happiness,joy,bliss and charm and alludes t o the peaceful music that creates a serene atmosphere. Second half: Contrapuntal sound (music that is not usually associated with the scene) is used here as there are pictures of empty,gloomy and eerie dystopian landscapes which highly contrasts the calmness of the music and establishes an uncanny feeling. Music: Peaceful/relaxed

This is because I knew exactly what i was going to do and write due to planning it beforehand. 4) I could try new styles of  editing and filming in the future because as of right now, my editing skills are basic and I'll try to level up my e...
