EBI; music cut at the end

WWW; Love how the music goes really well with the scene.
EBI; At the end the music cuts off.


www;Good use of parallell sound.
EBI; maybe transition more clearly


Teachers response;
Opening works very well as parallel-using a music video from as genre as distinct as country music is a great choice.
The contrapuntal aspect also works although better as the video proceeds[the initial switch is perhaps sudden a shock as it could be ] exactly a minute and clearly meets the brief.



What I could do better; I could've made the transition between the two videos more vivid.
I could've also made the two videos more equal  and made them 50 seconds each.

sound work

Sound Practical

Faisa and I took these videos of YouTube and made the soundtrack a country genre and it continued on  to and r and b video which wouldn't usually have the backtracking of country music making it a contrapuntal sound and the music is a diegetic sound.

poster analysis

Low key lighting is used to create an ominous and eery effect. It also defines the characters features to emphasise the importance of the characters. This is of a sci fi genre which is portrayed by the high tech weans the characters are using which they usually use n sci fi. the characters have pale and simple makeup which portrays the simplicity of the movie since every sc fi consist of a villain and hero. Each character is placed next to a beam of light to contrast and compare the difference in lighting .


In scary movie 2 high key lighting is used which really defines the characters and makes the image really clear. The background is really dark in contrast to the characters wearing really bright colours which makes the characters stand out. Their makeup is quite bold and really defines their features. There is a lot of distance between them and the camera creating a lot of free space.This poster may be trying to portray a horror comedy since the characters all have comedic expressions on their faces. This fits into the comedic genre and may be aimed at young teenagers.




In Sin City under lighting is used to cast a shadow on the characters. The poster is ironic due to the title since the background is gloomy and dark which is usually the representation of sins. All the characters are holding some sort of gun at someone and may be trying to commit murder which is seen as a major sin which also refers to the title.There is a small distance between the characters and the camera making it more effective. The camera is shot from below to make the characters look more superior and in control.This fits into action and horror genre and may be aimed at older teenager since the scences may be quite explicit.






In this poster of the pirates of the Caribbean, the camera uses a close up to express the deathly emotions on the characters face. The creator has used props such as a bandana and a old traditional to portray the pirate genre.  A blue colour is used in the background in contrast to the sea which is where usually pirates sail on to create a better image[imagery]. This is of the wild west genre and must be aimed at older teenagers.

Low key lighting is used to define thee silhouette and create an ominous setting. The character is purposely faced away from the camera to create tension and suspense which is usually used in horror genre. The creator purposely used white snow to contrast with the dark surroundings. The bold font in in which may be trying to indicate violence and danger. The buildings are all based at a far distance and are all symmetrical and look the same apart from one building that has smoke rising out of it which might indicate that the character in the shot set something on fire and explain their immense distance from the setting. I think this is in the horror genre and may be aimed at older adults since it is quite complex.

The title is quite ironic and is used to create a comedic theme since it says "I am not scared" although the child's expression on his face shows that he is really scared .Underlighting is used  to create a shadow on the childs face indicating that they may be something he is afraid of down there and also makes his features less visible which creates mystery and suspense.The camera takes the shot from below the character to make the character seem more superior. The blue sky in contrast to the dark hole suggests that the character may be looming in between his evil persona and his good persona. "I'm not scared" may be referring to the child being scared to face his dark side. This movie may be aimed at young kids to help them get over their fears and I think that it must be an action genre.





cre
The title has a direct link to the the characters. The characters may be an interracial couple wich may be why they recieve "prejudice" from society. The camera is zoomed in on the the two characters to signify their importance. The background juxtaposes the title since bright colours are used to represent glory and create a happy theme which is not usually is used to represent prejudice. The man seems quite proud of himself since he is looking above whereas the women seems to be quite serious and humble. This could be due to the racial differences and difference in class systems. However the confetti in the background indicate celebration which could mean she they are celebrating conquering their racial differences. I think this is a Bollywood musical genre and  may be aimed at young adults.

In this poster ,low key lighting is used to create suspense and mystery. All three characters arent facing the camera which may indicate that they are all concentrating on the danger that is coming their way. Their facial expressions show how concentrated and determined  they are and the different camera angles of each character may be trying to portray their different personas and how they each must be fighting a different evil
. All of them are dressed in different attire and styles which could be trying to send out the message that opposites attract. I think the genre may action and that it is aimed at teenagers.
