Music begins very quiet and slow.		Non- diegetic Audience feel submerge underwater Starting point for tension.
The camera shows the point of view (POV) of the shark moving through the weeds.		It lets us see what the shark sees of the shark. The shark is swimming through the weeds. The shark is heading somewhere. To create a mysterious feeling to the audience. Foreshadowing ( something is going to happen) due to music.
The music builds up and gets louder and faster.		To catch the attention of the audience. To give the audience a shocking starting so you would continue watching as you are curious of what is going to happen…. But cuts of to party on the beach (change of beach) and it links to the people at the beach telling that a character is going to die. Tension builds up further giving the a sign of DANGER!!!
Opening Scene

The camera pulls back to show a wide shot of the sea. We can hear the noise of the sea in the background.		Diegetic sound Long shot Since we know the shark is in the water it tells us / the audience that something is going to attack
Whilst the girl is swimming there is no music.		It gives the audience the feeling of caution for the girl as they know the shark is in the water
The camera shows the shark’s point of view and the music starts.		Zoom shot , shark point of view (P.O.V) The music starts because it shows the audience the shark is going to attack. Lets the audience know that the shark is getting closer. To intensify the audience
The camera switches between the top and bottom of the water.		P.O.V Shot It shows different perspectives.. the bottom one is a shark the top is anonymous.
There is a shot of her legs kicking and the camera slowly zooms in.		Showing the shark getting closer to her Intense the scene of the attack that is going to happen
There are pauses in the attack, and the camera shows the boy slumped on the beach.		The contrast of the 2 scenes shows how more intense the attack is The 2 scenes compliments each other Juxtaposition Pan shot

At the end of the scene all we can hear is the sound of the sea.		Shows as if nothing happened Creates and uses the element mystery Audience will start asking question such as: When is the next attack?, What is going to happen next?,etc. Got the audience glued Safe for the time being but we as audience know the killing machine is still around

Types of Sounds in a movie

January 25, 2015January 25, 2015 / sitrxyeizr / Leave a comment

> Diegetic

Diegetic sound is when there is sound and you know where does the source of sound come from on screen. Example the radio, conversation, ear- phones, etc.

> Non Diegetic

Non Diegetic is when there is sound but you don’t know where is it coming from they don’t show or you don’t see the source from where the sound comes from.

this is an example: this video shows a scene from the movie jaws with no music background and background music being added. Reminder you can’t see the where the song comes from.

> Contrapuntal

Contrapuntal is when the sound goes against your expectation like when you see a dead body you would scream but instead of screaming the character laughs.

Here is an example… please ignore the title

> Parallel

Parallel is when the sound compliments what we see on screen or each other. example a happy scene will have a happy background music or another example is children laughing at the beach.

Types of Camera shots & Angles

January 25, 2015January 25, 2015 / sitrxyeizr / Leave a comment

Close Up Shot (CU):

A Close up shot is used for characters and it focuses the head and shoulders.
It is used to show how Important a character / Object is.
The close up shot allows us to build a relationship with the character. Example in this picture I could see that she’s is worried.
Close up shots are meant to show the audience the expression or feelings that the character is going through.

2. Extreme Close Up Shot:

The extreme close up shot focuses on a part of the face usually the eyes or the mouth.
It is used to convey / show the emotion of the character to the audience. Example if the story focuses on the eyes of a crying person you could tell the character is obviously sad.
Extreme close up shots are often used at key points in the story.

3. Medium Shot:

Katniss Everdeen, Looks determined and focused, attempting to aim and shoot.

Medium shot shows the character from the head to the waist.
A medium shot will show some background
It shows the body language of the characters.
Medium shots are meant to show us what the characters are doing and how they feel. Like in the photo above (the left side) you could see the characters are talking. Larry (the guy on the left) looks happy and sort of worried or last bothered), Martin (the guy on the right side) looks worried and angry just by looking at the face and body language while Matt Hooper (the guy in the middle) looks like his trying to say something but nobody is paying attention to him and he also looks pissed.

4. Long Shot:

Movie: Mean Girls, Shows the 4 girls are popular and they are a gang, there inside a school area surrounded by people.

Long shots shows full body of the character unlike the medium shot.
Shows the location of the characters
Shows the relationship between the characters
Long shots are often used as a first shot at the start of a particular sequence.

5. High Angle Shot:

In a high angle shot the camera is positioned above the character or the place.
Makes the character look vulnerable.
High angle shot is meant to make the audience side with the characters in shot.

6. Low angle shot:

Unlike the high angle shot the low angle shot is the opposite the camera is placed below.
low angle shot makes characters and object look important, big, and powerful.

7. Point of View Shot (POV)

Point of view shot is basically shows you what’s the characters point of view.
You basically become the characters eyes. You see what the character sees.

The camera moves in an arc from a fixed point.
We all have this in our phones and Panoramic shots are used to mainly to show the view or the landscape of a place.

9. Zoom Shot:

Zooms in a important element of something the character may or may not know of but the audience knows.
Close up, used to focus attention on a relevant detail or emphasise a character’s reaction.

Jaws

January 24, 2015January 25, 2015 / sitrxyeizr / Leave a comment

The movie jaws comes under the genre thriller. Thriller (genre) uses suspense, tension and excitement as the main elements to stimulate the audiences mood so the movie would be more interesting as its gives the audience anxiety, terror, anticipation , expectations, and sometimes unexpected events.

To be honest and from what my teacher said to the class the genre of a movie depends on the audience like maybe for people age 16-20+ the genre is thriller but for kids aged 6-10+ the genre can be horror it all just depends on the audience.

A little brief about the Jaws:

A woman was killed by a shark when she went skinny dipping near a tourist town of Amity Island the case was than reported. A police chief name Martin Brody wants to close the beach down but the Mayor Larry Vaughn doesn’t allows him because fearing that loss of tourist will cripple the town. Two man named Matt Hooper an Ichthyologist and a ship captain Quint has offer to help the Chief to capture the shark. This movie is basically between Man Vs Shark / Nature.
