Diegetic/non-diegetic sound 

Diegetic sound: come from the movie which is implied by the actions, storyline or scene. these sound are made by the characters speaking or movement of objects seen in the film. another word for Diegetic sound is actual sound. another example for music playing on the radio show in the film. 

Non-diegetic sound: come from sound sources not visible to the audience.these sounds are usually sound effects, music or voiceover. another term used for non-diegetic sound is commentary an example of this could be music playing over a scene for effect as i does not have a source from within the movie

Continuity / Non Continuity

definition: Continuity editing is the predominant style of film editing and video editing in the post-production process of filmmaking of narrative films and television programs. The purpose of continuity editing is to smooth over the inherent discontinuity of the editing process and to establish a logical coherence between shots.

Continuity

continuity is a way to smoothen out different shots so that it look as if it has just happen ill in once go using different shots to make this believable. such as someone walking down the stairs. so what you would do would be to film him about to start waddling down the stairs then get a shot of only the feet walking down the stairs then get a shot of the character finishing walking down the stairs. another example involved the 180 degree rule. this is used when two character are opposite each other the camera cannot pass a line that is place in the middle of the two character if the imaginary line is passed it can cause confusion for the audience as it would look as if the two characters are looking in the same direction which will throw off the audience.

Non Continuity

non continuity editing is where shots are purposely not match to disturb the linear time and space. this will cause confusion or disturb the feeling of reality on the screen by drawing attention to the process of cutting.

Jump Cuts: two different shot/camera angles of the same character. the subject will not be in the same position as the last shot taken to make it look as if the character has jumped disturbing the time line making look as if time was missed.

Cross cut: this is were you would cutting between different locations and settings creating a feeling that everything is happening at the same time.

montage: this is where different shot of location, setting or time periods in a film which are put into one sequence this could be used to show time passing or show a sequence of event happening.

flashbacks/forward: a shot/scene added into the narrative this will take the viewer out of the current time in the movie to give backstory or represent event that may be coming in the future or to recount previous events.

SELF ASSESSMENT

sound: Chandni
actors: Reece,Ross
editing: Everyone

i did the storyboard
Ross did the script
Chandni did the Risk assesment
Gavin did the shot list

Different Types of Shots used in Media

High Angle: makes a subject smaller. i can be used to create a feeling of atmosphere or give the audience a feeling of dominance it can also be used to make tyne audience feel god-like. it can also get a good look at the size of a location that was selected.

Low Angle: The use of a low angle shot would be to make the character look larger and powerful. it is a good angel to show a busy street. the low angle shot creates a feeling of a lesser human or just insignificant. as you are looking up at higher power rather than looking down onto it.

tilted/slanted angle: the tilted angle creates confusion within the audience and would make the curious to what is happening within the movie.

Medium close up: the medium close up is a easy way for the audience to create a relationship with the character. Making the character the most thinkable

Established shot: the established shot will show where we are the lighting that will set the mood and sometimes the theme of it.

Close up Extreme: The extreme close up will crete a feeling of discomfort within the audience. this would mainly used in horror.

Long shot: The long shot allows the audience to see what is in the scene. it is good for scene which well be capturing a lot of what happening.

Wide shot: wide shot provide coverage over the landscape of the scene it will also capture the characters performance as well.

Two shots: Two shots show multiple characters which create a relationship between the two characters.

Assesment

so what we are doing a project with sound. where we are going to record sound before we film the scenes actual scene.

Different settings of exposure

ISO + Aperture + shutter speed= 1

ISO

iso is measured for 100 to 64000 and also has auto as an option. THese are measured for sensitivity on the digital plate in the camera and is more sensitive to light. the higher the iso the more grainy the video. if iso charged a lot it will look different.

Aperture

 Aperture is measured in F stop. so the higher the number the more light the number the more light will be restricted . such as F 1.0 very little restriction . F 22. the light would be more restricted the aperture change the focus of the camera

Shutter speed

is a measurement of how quickly it take a frame. the shutter speed it within a second so he shutter speed  would be 1/30 of a second or 1/4000 of a second the faster the shutter speed the darker the picture

so we recorded a couple of scene that would go into the sound that we recorded

Lighting 

there are there basic point of lighting which can really affect the feeling of a certain shot within a movie.

• Key light- which will present the actor and can cause some effect as well in the scene. the key light will create a shadow which will create contrast on the actors face causing a dramatic effect to that scene.
• Fill light- which will break the contrast of the face of the actor by filling the shadowy side of the actor face with light giving it a more flatter feel.
• Back light- will push the actor away from the background so that it doesn't look as if the actor is blending in with the background.
• Background light- this light will irradiate the background/set and depending on the lighting will establish a low or high key mood

High key mood

this is the kind of background lighting that you want if you a more balanced lighting and would be more useful with sitcoms comedy ect. the contrast ratio would be for high key mood 1:1

low key mood 

this is the kind of background lighting that is more dramatic with a lot more contrast. this would be for more crime thrillers and horror. the contrast ratio for low key mood would be like 1:8

Today me and my group started on making a movie trailer

the genre of the movie is horror and appeals to teen and adults and will have a ambient dark soundtrack with a deppression style. appeals to more male audience.i called the movie within the trailer The Shadow

Many movie appeal to different types of audience. for example the movie inside out would have a different audience to the movie transformers. inside out would appeal to a more younger audience ranging from 6-10 yer of age but may also be targeted at a older audience such as the parent of the young children. this would be different to transformers which has a older range of people such as teenager which favour more action based movies is would appeal to me more male side. both movies would appeal to an urban area i wouldn't appeal to people more out in the country. the movie the crazies would appeal to a more older audience in mid 20s which would appeal to those who live in the country would would be working as farmers or live in a small town.

The crazies has a more country kind of accent to it due to them living in a small farm town mixed with some urban accent. the crazies genre horror and action due to the gore snd fight throught the film. The crazies has a dark feel to it. the style is more country.

Media Forms: This is different types of media such as film,TV,newspaper etc.

Institution: different types of companies within media such as channel 4 and the BBC

Genre: so like horror,comedy and romance are different types of genres so movies like The visit which is a horror /comedy or legend which is a thriller.

Representation: how something is presented such as like a group of people which could be stereotyped

Audience:this should be something like the age of the audience as a young audience is suitable to watch a mature movies.

Ideology:BBC ideology would be different to say E4. BBC is more about New around the world E4 is more entertainment based with sitcoms and celebrates News

Narration: is how a story is toldsuch as movie which would walk you through the movie.
