Cinematography practical Learner Response

Teacher Feedback  Love the soundtrack and overalll a great creative approach. The use of narrative makes the video really engaging for the audience. Very nice range of shots and camera movement-In particular the OTS and POV shots. Great framing! A few shots incorrectly labelled (e.g. mid shot) Would be EBI but lots to credit here  Student Feedback Good narrative but need more camera shots I like the background music and he used a range of shots Music worked well but it was hard to understand what was going on at the end Different shots used well The camera should focus on some of the shots Not enough camera movement Shaky camera movements  Some shots were hard to recognise WWW: I think the music hints to the audience where the plot is going while also making it a bit more engaging for the audience as the video progresses with it. Had a decent amount of shots that were mostly used correctly. The narrative seemed to be creative. EBI: I need to make sure the camera is steady...

Cinematography Practical

Media Cinematography Practical This video was made on my phone (Which has terrible quality) and I filmed it in a classroom with a friend. The aim was to make a video revolving around a person stealing someone's wallet with a decent amount of camera shots. As the video progresses I tried to make the movement of the camera and its transitions faster as a way to raise the excitement of the scene. Each scene with the newspaper in focus had some kind of political figure or debate. In retrospect, the 2 close ups I used may have been to quick now that I look back at it since they should be important shots for the viewers.

Sound video feedback

- This is an excellent video that meets the brief impressively. The first half works well as contrapuntal sound - it got a laugh from me which is always a good sign. It's also a memorable choice of clip too. - When the video switches over to Superman, it immediately feels more suited which shows this is a good use of parallel sound. The video therefore demonstrates your understanding of the media terminology.   - The only EBI I can suggest is perhaps using a collage of clips from a range of films for each part of the video to further demonstrate your understanding of the relationship between sound and image. WWW: I think the contrapuntal and parallel i've chosen contrasted each other each other and the music solidified it with both the scenes matching the music as intended. EBI: Near the end of the contrapuntal clip the sound drops to silence for a little to long before restarting again. This audio transition could have been better and by making it shorter would make it...
