Sound Practical


For this project I started off by coming up with ideas of how I could realistically present parallel and contrapuntal sound within 60 seconds. I made a mind map in my book and finally decided to use nature vs littering/ fly-tipping as an example of the maltreatment of nature by people in our local area. The first half of the video uses parallel sound (sound that matches what you can see) and the other half uses contrapuntal sound  (when the sound you hear is different from what you see). For this video I wanted to make the viewers reflect on how their actions affect the environment around them; specifically how littering effects the local environment.

 This is demonstrated by the sound but also the images, as I used my own original images and clips that were all of the local area in Greenford. For the location of the photo shoot I went local parks and nearby streets to find litter and to my surprise there was an abundance of it which sadly made my job easier. After gathering enough material to make the video I went on Adobe premiere to edit which took me a long time since I was completely novel to it. But in the end after school on Monday I asked Mr ray (A media teacher) to help me understand how to use it and that helped me tremendously! Thank you Mr Ray!

Equipment:

Canon E0S 200D 

Adobe Premiere

In The first half of the video is clips and images of rubbish and garbage around the local parks and streets and the last half is the thriving nature in local parks, the two contrasts each other as one is natural, the result of nature and the other is the result of man made objects that are discarded and the results of that carelessness.  The contrast between nature and rubbish alongside the music in the background makes the video parallel and contrapuntal.

  Identify examples of high and low-key lighting? This is an example of low key lighting on the right side of the face and more extreme focused lighting on the left side of the face. ( Chiaroscuro) . There is light that reflects off the studio lighting.  Say which depict top , back or under lighting? In this image there is a lot of key light to the side of the characters face which further enhances the dramatic effect and shadows cast on the right side of the characters face, especially with no filler lighting. What effects are created by the lighting in each image? There is a striking effect caused by this lighting; the lighting itself helping further help the mise-en-scene elements convey the fact that the character here is a villain. Mainly caused by the chiaroscuro ( contrast between light and dark)  and the way the light highlights the smoke in the air Seemingly produced by the cigarette that the woman is smocking which is iconography for power and the female tr...

Mise en scene movie recreation analysis

Amelie report    CLAMPS:  Costume: For the costume for the Amélie scène Comptine d'un Autre été: L'Après-Midi . It will be a red buttoned up shirt and some black trousers with some dots and then the same red shirt with a black skirt or red dress if I can source one. Lighting: There will be a lot of natural lighting when outside with the sack of grains.  And more low key lighting when it comes to the frame of Amelie holding the spoon up to her face before breaking the creme brulee. During the scene where I will film a waterfall and skipping stones the lighting will mainly depend on the weather that day but I will edit it to make it look as close to the original as possible. Actor: Sami Masters Make-up and hair: I brought a short black bob as a wig for the role. Props:There will be a brown hay bag   Grains to fill the bag  A teaspoon  A Creme brulee Stones to skip (black ones preferably but any will do)  Setting: The settings will vary as the s...

Mise-en-scene Analysis blog tasks

  Costume : Clothes are old symbolising that there from a different time period.The woman in the back right is wearing all black which has connotations of mystery and is also Iconography of the femme fatal in classic film noir which is the genre of this movie. The woman in the background is wearing a body con black dress, which seems to be made from a silky material which may indicate that she is from a high class. The material of the dress is highlighted by the low key filler lighting and the colour of the dress via the white background that the light reflects off of.  Lighting: This image used low-key lighting to enhance the dramatic tone of the scene. The lighting draws the audiences attention to the distance between the two actor, and rising action between them conveyed by the placement of the lighting. The lighting is synthetic . The positioning of the lights is used to make the actors facial expressions stand out more. Actors: The actor of the left has a serious ...
