Evaluating The Initial Footage



Framing - 
We think that our shot is framed well. Our actor is in the center of the frame and the backdrop is fairly accurate against the original. Our shot could be improved by having the actor further away so that he is smaller in the frame and his knees are at the bottom. The professional shot is successful because it has a good use of contrast with the shadows and the outfit is clearly shown with a contrast between the shirt and skirt.

Lighting - 
Our lighting works fairly well, however it is slightly brighter than the original. We relied on ambient lighting which may have been too harsh with the halogen lights. The original appears to have relied on ambient lighting of the sun fairly late in the day through a window. The professional shot may have used their lighting in order to make the subject stand out by making the background darker.

Mise en scene - 
Our costume is fairly close to the original with the skirt and check shirt. The shirt could could be navy rather than purple and the background is accurate regarding the simplicity without it being plain white. 

Camera - 
We used a handheld camera as from the original we could see that they also used a handheld camera as there was slight movement. We feel that we have matched the movements of the original shot well and didn't find this too difficult.

Actors - 
Our actor worked very well in front of the camera. He knew what he had to do and the movements were well rehearsed. When directing shoots we need to know exactly what we want from our actors so that they do the correct movement.

Media Theoretical Framework

The theoretical framework can be used to develop your own understanding of any media text.  •  media language:  how the media through their forms, codes, convention s and techniques communicate meanings •  media representations:  how the media portray events, issues, individuals and social group •  media industries:  how the media industries processes of production, distribution and circulation affect media forms and platforms •  media audiences:  how media forms target, reach and address audiences, how audiences interpret and respond to them and how members of audiences become producers themselves.

Newspapers Political Bias

Traditionally  The Labour Party  have been firmly on the left and have branded themselves in red whereas  The Conservative Party  have been firmly on the right have and have branded themselves in blue.  When New Labour (led by Tony Blair) came to power the Labour Party adopted a more centralised position whilst still leaning to the left and The Conservative Party (led by David Cameron) adopted a more central position whilst still leaning to the right. This has changed again recently with The Conservative Party moving more towards the right (as Teresa May has responded to the post-Brexit changes to the political landscape) and The Labour Party moving back towards a more traditional left (as Jeremy Corben represents a more socialist politics). ‘The Left’  is associated with ‘Liberalism’ (L) - ‘Socialism’ (L+) and ‘Communism’ (L++). This means that people who represent this party - Labour’s Members of Parliament (MPs) - and those who vote Labour sh...
