Short Suspense Clip Evaluation

During the production of our short suspense clip we had many successes yet also many failures.

One of the mistakes we made was trying to film a door opening and the sound of a creaky door separately and expecting them to match up. Both doors opened at different speeds automatically and the recordings were horrendously out of time with each other. This meant when we went to combine the two we instead had to use the background noise
 of the clip of the door opening, of which had someone talking in the background. To improve this we should have taken a sound recording of the door we filmed as it would have been much easier to match up as both times the door would be opening automatically at the same speed.

When recording the sounds, we did not play them back before moving on to take another. This was a mistake because many of the sound recordings we took had interruptions or weren't as we had imagined they would sound. We only realised this once we were editing in the next lesson and no longer had the time to go out and take more recordings. This meant that we had to use only a few noises across the clip as most of the recordings were in deed interrupted.

An unexpected success we had was taking a low shot of Siana walking down the path. This was because once the colour of the clip was adjusted to monochrome it made her look more powerful. This added effect as this was placed at the start of the clip and helped to show her decrease in power to become powerless against the stalker.

Another success we had was an excess shot that was not originally planned that we ended up adding to the start of the clip to make it seem more creepy and abandoned. This was an empty shot taken of the sky above and the trees that was taken in between of filming the clips we had planned on our storyboard. When we had put all the clips together we realised we needed something to add at the start of our clip. This turned out to be the perfect way to start it and we added our title in text among the trees and it made the start of the clip appear more haunting.

Introduction To Representation

Introduction To Representation Stuart Hall  REPRESENTATION - To show something again, the ways in which a media product constructs the world and aspects in it.The Producer builds the product.) Lindt Lindor - "Do you dream in chocolate?" 2011 The music in the background is very soothing and relaxing (harp etc) and classical which has connotations of upper class and being expensive. The chocolate comes across as luxury due to the close ups of melted chocolate - which has connotations of smoothness and purity.  The advert is very sexualised, the close up of her face when biting into the chocolate. The lighting is soft,golden and smooth. She's in bed eating chocolate by herself which could have sexual connotations. Suggests the product will replace sex - or it is better than sex. The advert shows her being very sensual with her eyes closed whilst she is enjoying the chocolate. All the shots transition smoothly into each other which give the impression that

Tide's got What Women Want

Advert Analysis 1 This advert was published when women played a stereotypical role in the household of a cleaning lady. It is aimed at middle class women who still do their own washing yet they have a solid income from their husbands and can afford for their clothes to look as good as new.  The way she is hugging the red box suggests it is her new love, that it is all she wants. The red box suggests that she relies on this product like she relies on a man. It is colourful and bright which suggests that the product will lead to a better, optimistic life. The advert is blunt with no hidden meanings, it suggest that she does the job - she is the washing machine. The advert has a lot of text, unlike modern adverts and the z line would miss out a lot of information. It has to be sat down and read, it couldn't be read quickly on the side of the street as you were walking to work. The style of the advert is not like that done today, no actual real life pictures are used, it i

Adbusters exam question

-
Exam practice question The representation of women in Adbusters is consistently subverted, the use of binary oppositions, as proposed by Claude Levi Strauss, is subversive as whilst the model is represented as stereotypical, she is juxtaposed with the economic migrants. The intertextuality of the migrants is subversive as we normally see them in charity adverts present a binary opposition against the wealth of the woman. This suggests she is more well off than the man which subverts patriarchal hegemony and is not common in a media product. In every case in Adbusters, the gender norms have been subverted, the hegemonic ideas of gender have been challenged. For example, the lack of anchorage in the image in Adbusters, of which forces the audience to come up with their own readings, the assumes the audience has a high level of education and may be middle class. A style called culture jamming is constantly used in the magazine to create confusion within the audience - a binary oppositio
