Media Awards Analysis

  1) In my flim, I utilized  cinematography to my fullest potential; I made sure to use lots of long shots  and close-ups to convey the feeling of loneliness as my character was searching alone for a mysterious object. Additionally, I used lots of camera pans  to convey the feeling of mysteriousness. The box ( prop ) I had opened in my extract emitted a bright light ( editing ) while me, the actor , had a surprised expression . This created an enigma code as the audience wondered what exactly I had discovered inside of the box. Additionally, the lighting  I had used was purposely dull to reiterate that this fantasy setting  is also a dystopia. 2) In Raagni's film, she uses editing and sound to convey to the audience that this is a fantasy TV drama. For instance, the special effects when the 2 actors use their "powers" and the diegetic sound effects playing whenever they use them.

  Film Poster 1 - Blade Runner 1) The film seems to be action-oriented.

The lighting itself is also quite dark, with most of the buildings in shadow. 2) I think the film may be part of the action genre , due to the actors and their props . The man is in a defensive pose holding a pistol, while the woman looks at the viewers holding a cigarette in her hand. 3) The target audience for this film seems to be for more mature people, if we take everything into account - the weapons, the dark lighting , the dystopian setting , these don't seem like typical conventions for a family oriented movie. Film Poster 2 - Scary Movie 2 1) I believe that the film is about parodying typical horror movie conventions . The name of the film, "Scary Movie", and the exagger
