Three Analysed Shots



This is a medium shot. Medium shots let us see a little bit of the background but not to much for us to see where they are. Medium shots also lets us see emotion on the characters faces. I think the director used a medium shot for this moment to let us see the emotion on the characters faces and how many people there are. Also the medium shot in this case creates s scene where it looks like these guys are after someone, which basically means our medium shot tells us quite a bit about what we need to know or see. In this shot we can see 5 officers clearly however overall in the view 6 are shown. The fact that not every police is shown in this shot makes us wonder where the rest are as surely seeing this many police officers would suggest there are more about.


This is a long shot. A long shot lets us see enough to know where the setting is and is this moment the setting is at the corner of a street and an old car is parked there, if you look closely you can see a guy there in the bottom right corner and it looks like he is running. Straight away you will assume that there is a danger that he is running away from and you will ask yourself why he has decided to turn into this corner of the street. The long shot is mostly used however to introduce a new setting and of course in this case it is the corner he has turned into. Longshots are also well used to spot detail in a shot that you may of not have noticed before.


This shot is a close up shot. A close up show lets us the emotion of the characters face. I think the director used a close up shot to let us see the emotion on the man's face. He looks like he is upset and worried so we may have sympathy for him, the fact that his eyes are directed on the left side of the screen clearly states he is looking at someone/some people which could possibly suggest theres a bigger reason to why he is upset. Half of the mans face in this shot is firmly blacked out showing there are two sides to him. This is a main reason why close ups are used they help us understand our character, to understand their flaws and how they are personality wise

10 pics

 This a wide shot and a wide shot is usually used to present the scene or introduce a new one, our wide shot is off the school to show that our story is school related. The angle of this picture is straight as its not taken at angle. This picture shows the audience that this is the start of the storyboard.

 This is a long shot, and it is usually from head to toe it is usually used to introduce the character or show us what he/she may look like, the picture shows the boy walking down the hill looking for someone. This picture shows the audience that this is one of our main characters and his face looking towards the right shows that he may be looking for someone else.

No this is a high angle and this angle is always used to make our character look vulnerable and make it easy to see that he is the victim, the picture shows the boy looking up, with a kind of scared face impression. The audience can now tell from this shot that this is our victim.

This is a low angle and this is used to make the character look strong and manipulative, in this picture the boy is lucking down as if to show that he is now going to make a decision he will regret later on, and something will happen including the victim. The audience can tell that this is the predator and is hunting down his victim.
  This is a medium closer and this is mostly used to show us the features and get know our character just a little bitter, and not just by personality. Here the character looks quite relaxed and without trouble. The audience can now clearly look at out victim and get to know him a little bit better than before.

 This is supposed to be a close up, thi is also used to get to know our character, the character looks upset and angry, he looks like he is within deep thoughts. The audience knows that the character has mixed feelings about what is about to take place.

 This is an over the shoulder shot and this is mostly used within dialogue of two people, here our two characters are exchanging dialogue and are talking it also a good thing that we can also see the background which is a part of the school because it carries on telling us that we are still in school. The audience knows that something is going on now that the two characters are talking.

 We called this a medium shot because its mostly head to waist, in this picture our "predator" is headlocking its "pray." The audience can see and tell that a fight is taking place, this is shown by the fact that one of the boys is in a headlock.

 This is an extreme close up, this shot is used to define a characters features, in this case we have defines a womans eyes however this is not just a woman it is a teacher that will now tell them off. The audience knows that the two students have been caught fighting.

I chose this as my finish picture of my story board, and this is an unusual perspective angle because it shows the field of where the boys where fighting the reason why i chose this is because i believe that its a good way to close the scene, this is taken at a slightly tilted side angle. The audience now knows that this is the end of the story board because of how the story has ended already from the picture before where they got caught.

 First fruit bowl; my key word for this fruit bowl was Winter and the little picture on the right hand corner shows the image that I took my colours from for my fruit bowl. I chose the word Winter because I like the cold colours and the light colours.
                         
  Second fruit bowl; my key word for this fruit bowl was Vibrant and the the rose which I took the colours from my fruit off, the I entered the flower into the background to show that I  can use the skill of copying and pasting a picture into another. I chose the word Vibrant because it has light and neon type of colours.

  Third fruit bowl; My key word for this fruit bowl is Fashionable. I got all my colours from the picture on the top right corner. I chose the word Fashionable because it was the only other interesting word andit has some expensive rich colours.

My Advert

                                                    
                
lANGUAGE :
                        The first thing that tells us this is an advert is the logo at the top right-hand corner. The slogan above " Push yourself further education" tells us that this is a serious advert that is trying to attract people towards joining the army and pushing themselves and motivating themselves towards further education, the advert implies that there is still more to be taught and there are many more things to learn.

INSTITUTION :

                             The institution behind this advert is the army and they are trying to attract more people to join up and take part, their aims are to have more jobs taken up.

AUDIENCE :

                       This advert is aimed at young adults from around the age of 18-30 this is because to be in the army you need to be fast and have good moving tactics, something like this advert would be aimed at mostly boys as they are most likely going to join the army. This advert wouldn't be aimed at a certain rice of income towards people because the job needs skill and commitment.

REPRESENTATION :

                                  The representation on this advert is mostly white and male - which could mean that this is aimed at a specific type of audience. This is quite surprising as the army contains other types races and cultures. The fact that the pictures contain only male cadets/soldiers isn't surprising because jobs such as the army are known to require a certain amount of strength and commitment in a person, this is mostly found in man rather than woman. Also the fact that there are no woman involved gives very little coverage of woman and how dominant they can be at times.

Other information i found about the channel was that it was founded on 18 October 1922

3) The audience for the channel is 21.9%
however the show is mostly targeted at a higher class because of how the program is layered out and how it is presented, on the program they don't just tell you the news they discuss it by bringing people in and hearing about their views, because its higher class audience the education would be high as well, as people would have to understand the point of views and what is being talked about. The show is mostly watched by adults from ages 35+ and these are mostly people who have to go work early. In my view i don't think that its aimed at one specific gender i believe that its for both male and female.

4) The running order for three separate editions of the programme. Watch at least 20 minutes of the programme on THREE separate days and write down the following:

On Monday the three stories that interested me the most were;

A British ebola patient William Pooley's lowest point "I thought of my parents"
The first British person to contract Ebola during the outbreak in West Africa has been discharged from
hospital after making a full recovery.

Ex-chief constable Mike Hedges 'unaware of Rotherham child sex abuse'
A former police chief has said he was completely unaware of the systematic sexual exploitation of children in Rotherham during his time in charge.

Scott Rogers murder: TV host in sex abuse claims
A US TV host who is thought to have been murdered by his ex-lover was a "monster" who sexually abused boys, it has been claimed.

On Tuesday the stories that interested me the most where;

Ashya King's mother 'cried and prayed'
Ashya's parents were jailed for taking him Spain to get treatment for him with fewer side effects rather
than here in England.

 First three years of primary; 'free school meals'
For children of ages 5-7 all school meals are free, for all families no matter of families income.

17 year old boy was told he wouldn't survive?
17 year old Ryan Smith was told he wouldn't survive after being knocked of his bike on his way to work. He was in a coma and had severe brain damage which led to a 9 month stay in the hospital.

On Wednesday the storied i found most interesting where;

Ashya reunited with parents
The King couple were delighted to be let put and finally see their son which was placed 330 miles away from them, it was their 4th day without seeing him and they were excited to finally be released.

Apple hacked, and pictures published.
Apple was hacked and pictures of famous actors, such as Jennifer Lawrence were published.

The storied are placed in the broadcasted order.
I believe the editor chose those stories and placed them in these orders because the news vary from happy news to shocking news and then to worldwide news. These stories were broadcasted because they are important and they are touching.
