Mise-en-scene video feedback and learner response

 -Teachers Feedback:

WWW- Good use of mise-en-scene and clamps, good acting, accurate setting and good camera work.

EBI- Add all scenes.

-Classes Feedback:

WWW- Accurate location and actor placement, good filming and camerawork of multiple shots, cuts and angles, good acting and facial expressions, accurate props, good lighting, great imported audio, good use of mine-en-scene and clamps, good editing, good planning, script and shot-list, good costume, accurate explanation and summary, very enjoyable.

EBI- Bad lighting in some scenes and missing scenes.

-Self Assessment:

WWW- I believe I had a good plan and a very accurate script, which allowed me to utilise clamps effectively, the acting and editing was good, especially the sound editing.

EBI- I could've sorted out the bad lighting when importing the video and try harder to add in the missing scenes.

-Reflection:

The planning helped me isolate each shot and make the work seem less strenuous, it allowed me to thoughtfully think through how to incorporate clamps and how mise-en-scene effects the mood and overall meaning of the scene. It also allowed me to fully appreciate every aspect of scenes, the cinematography and effort put into them, even short scenes.

-Thinking Technically:

During filming shooting multiples of each shot allowed me to have more choices in editing and my sound-track editing was very smooth, but in the future, I will utilise techniques that allow for easier clip transfer when editing, I will attempt to shoot in quieter places to avoid background noise effecting the end product.

-Importance of Mise-en-scene:

Mise-en-scene is important as it informs the audience without blatantly telling them, it informs them of characters jobs, pastimes, personality, morality, power dynamics, their role in the story, the main or side plot and more by all the details that appear on screen. For example, the last shot of my recreational scene show the shifting of power dynamics by that point in the story, that both characters are lit the same, are taking up equal amounts of space despite their previous imbalance in relations.

 -Blade Runner-- The poster has dark colours, there's a close-up shot of the protagonist /hero characters face with very serious and solemn expression, he is holding a gun and there is an antagonistic /non-human lady holding a cigarette. The backdrop is filled with futuristic skyscrapers and a flying car.There is a tagline saying "Man has made his match...now its his problem,", The title of the film is in a bold font, the movie is R-rated. The culmination of the colours,the weapon prop  and the rating of the movie shows that its for adults and could include graphic or sexual content. Protagonists and antagonists are binary opposites , communicated by the drastic change in lighting and further supported as the antagonist is stereo-typically holding a cigarette. The tagline tells the audience that the narrative may be one about human arrogance and hubris and there is science fiction elements to the film, supported by the high-angle shot of the futuristic backdro...

- T he Grand Budapest Hotel:   C-The costume of the character is not highlighted at all, except for the characters hat and glasses, that are reflecting some light, bringing attention to them. The use of enigma codes through the use of back lighting to create a contrasting silhouette shrouds the scene in mystery and adds to the suspense of the scene. The costume of the character that is shown connotes academia due to the glasses, professional hat and coat. L-The contrasting lighting of the scene guides the audiences attention to the both the figure and the background, it raises question of who the character is, what they're motives are, what is the setting and overall adds to tension of the scene. A-The actor is placed at the centre of the scene with a medium shot of him standing still and there is a use of action codes , the audience is made to believe that violence is coming due to the dark and de-saturated colouring of the scene and the fact that the character is looking...
