(Breaking bad opening sequence)


1) Write an analysis of the cinematography in the opening sequence. Highlight your use of media language and try to cover camera shots, angles and movement using the terminology we have learned in lessons. 
There is a variety of medium shots, there is a tilt , then swapping angles to showcase  a perspective of anxiety to the audience( enigma code ). The long shot highlights the scenery and shows that it is desolate. The altering of close ups to medium shots show this erratic scene as it envelops into more chaos.  The changing angles of close up to POV of the camera creates this more sincere yet frightening scene, as it makes the audience question what is to come of this.

2) How does the camerawork give the audience clues about the setting, narrative and character?
The bodies and the main character's acting shows he is not sued to this environment  furthermore this mysterious scene builds high tension.(Enigma code)

Secondly, find and analyse one film or TV still image. Add the image to your blogpost.

 This photo is an over the shoulder shot- we see the a man holding a gun near the camera with a unhappy and depressive look . This makes the audience to become fearful as they are sure that this person will fire the gun and kill this person.

3) Analyse the camera shot/angle in the image and what it communicates to the audience. Remember to highlight the media terminology you use.

Film & TV Language: Sound notes and practical task

 The Use of the song 'run' by Joji: -This was used with the space imagery as it speaks about wanting to escape a relationship- similarly to escaping Earth( parallel with first half of the video),furthermore the second half is contrapuntal as it shows the current state of what we live in and how we no longer feel the need to 'escape' , accepting man-kind and technological advance as the death of nature without our universe.

1.Blade Runner  What do you think the film is about and what might the storyline be?
