exam questions
Analyse how camera is used to create meaning in a media product you have studied
Xfactor
- multiple close ups zooming into peoples reaction of Ella singing her song , shows the emotional reaction from people such as her family crying.
- long shot showing how happy all the family was at the end of the show
- wide shot shows how small she is in comparison to the whole stage
- close up of Mel B talking to her shows how important that convocation means
Through out this clip there are many close ups used , the one close up I found that was the most effective was the close ups of the reaction of Ella's family as this really emphasised how proud of her each of them were as they all seemed to be caught up in the moment. by having a close up it showed to us really clearly the emotions going through the family. This allowed the viewer to engage more with the programme and this all comes back to Altman's theory of emotional pleasure which will make them happy and want to carry on watching.
As well as there being close ups there was also a long shot used when it was show casing Ella on the stage singing her song , this long shot emphasised actually how small ella was on the stage , when contrasting this to close ups which made her look a lot bigger , this long shot put into perspective how a small little person on a big stage can hold the attention of the audience which under lines how good she is.
Ontop of the previous there was another close up which caught my attention which was the close up of specially Ella and the way it allowed you to really see the emotions that she was going through and meaning of the song to her . The close up again connotes how important the songs means to her and how much she misses her granddad, this is likely too make the audience feel for her and want her to succeed.

- Appropriate terminology is used such as different types of camera shots
ReplyDelete- The question is being answered as it says how the different camera techniques convey a message
- A range of techniques have been provided.
- The ideas/points are justified with evidence/examples from the videos but the explanations are not detailed enough.
- 8/12
- WWW: A range of techniques provided, evidence to support each technique
- EBI: More detailed explanations, minor spelling errors.
to reach level 3 and gain some more marks I need to perfect over my grammar and spelling as well as adding more explanation for my examples eg "why they may of done that"

ReplyDeleteThis is an improvement. You are thinking about audience which is good and also touch on representation! However, your connotations need to focus on representation more clearly and also genre. You also need to write in a more academic style - your use of grammar and punctuation will hurt you in the exam. Finally, you need to address a range of technical aspects - not just camera.
Please make these changes asap in 3 new/improved paragraphs below.
Also, please leave a comment below as a reflection on feedback and explaining any changes you have made.

OVERALL I mark you at a 6 out of 12 for this - lots still to do and most of the focus is on precision.
