Different camera angles

THE AERIAL SHOT It’s all in the name – this shot is filmed from the air and is often used to establish a location (usually exotic and/or picturesque). THE ESTABLISHING SHOT Again, it’s in the name – this shot is at the head of the scene and establishes the location the action is set on, whilst also setting the tone of the scene(s) to come. It usually follows directly after an aerial shot in the opening of films and is beloved by TV directors. THE CLOSE-UP (CU) This is perhaps the most crucial component in cinematic storytelling and is arguably an actor’s most important moment on camera. This shot is usually framed from above the shoulders and keeps only the actor’s face in full frame, capturing even the smallest facial variations. As it eliminates any surrounding elements that may be relevant to the scene’s narrative, it’s really up to the actor’s skill and focus to shape the story. THE EXTREME CLOSE-UP (XCU) This shot is traditionally used in films and focuses on...

Styles of film

Styles of film  The Silent Era The Silent Era is marked as the birth of cinema when cinema was all about experimentation and pushing boundaries. All of the new discoveries of this era helped shape the eras that followed and the filmmakers and films that came after them.  The Talkies Once the first Vitaphone film with sound was released in 1927 (The Jazz Singer), everything changed. Filmmakers had to adapt to the new technology and actors had to adapt as well. Some actors had to quit because their voices did not match well with their image and the audience didn’t like them anymore. Others couldn’t find work because their acting was too over-the-top and theatrical (as it needs to be in silent films, but not in sound films).  French cinema in the 1930s French films made in these years reflected how ordinary people were dealing with the war. They employed  poetic realism , meaning that they treated real subjects in an imaginative way.   ...

Blade runner main Characters    Rachael Rosen is the novel's equivalent of the femme fatale .

The character originally appeared in Philip K Dick 's novel, " Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? " on which the movie is based. Rick Deckard is played by Harrison Ford .  was the "basic pleasure model" (incepted on Valentine's Day), created for entertainment and thus even more of a slave-object than the others.

Analysing I feel there adds are very overpowering. it makes a impact on the viewer however i don't think it is a good one. for example this add shown bellow is to powerful that is makes you sad rather than exited to buy the product and i feel this is not good for the company as they will lose money  However is add shows that racism is not a good thing and everyone should be nice to each other this gives a positive feel to the people viewing the poster. The only thing i would say that is wrong about this add is that I don't know what they are trying to advertise. I would be better if they made it more clear so that the people know and then they can go and buy it from shop.  I firstly noticed that both singers have shown there face on the album cover. This shows they are confident and don't mind people seeing there true identity. How ever Kendrick has chosen to look in the other dire...
