Film Institutions: Frozen case study

Image
Disney's Frozen The film that I have chosen is Disney's Frozen. The reason I wanted to do Frozen was because it had an organisation like Disney behind it, a huge release and was really talked about. Institutional background The production companies behind frozen were Walt Disney Animation Studios Walt Disney Pictures. The Distributor of the film, in the UK, was Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. B rand loyalty The film's genre is an animated fantasy-comedy.You can tell the film fits into this genre by the trailer. In the trailer we can see a funny animated character, odd stunts, large open spaces and adventure. Few of the main features in an animated codedy film. In the trailler We see jokes, different yet funny characters, unrelistic character (the snowman) and the life tretining experience. The movie is an orginial but because of the fact that it is a diseny film it is most likely to have a large audience that will watch the film n...

Analysing Genre

Hunger Games Mockingjay  Genre:  Science Fiction Narrative:  The storyline is shown in a way that if you watch the hunger games you are more likely to understand and connect however anyone can understand the main concept even if you don't.We can see the main theme of a sort of war going on between two sides.This narrative is tense, dramatic and futuristic which fits the science fiction genre very well. Character: The characters are the typical ones used in nearly all Science Fiction movies. Main character who is strong,different and heroic. The other main character who is also strong and helps the main character through all sorts of hell and the sad helpless side, who is the rest of district 12 in this case. Iconography: These are the things like; the airship, futuristic technology, the main mission, weapons, odd weather, flashing lights, destruction etc. All of these are typical for a sci-fi movie. Setting: In the short time the trailer is played,...

Camera Shots

We were set the task to go and take photos showing a story line. We needed to take 7 different types of shots and needed 10 pictures overall to show the story line. The story line we chose to show was of a person wating on top of the stairs,at a school, for another person who was going to meet up with them and sell them drugs.These are the 3 different shots we used and why we did them as well as the affect they have on the viewer. Shot One; Birds eye view - This shot was taken like this to express the idea of someone(person 2)  waiting for another person(person 1) and seeing them come into view. This shows that person 2 is already at the destination and is looking down on person 1 who is currently making their way to the destination. The distance between the characters is expressed through this spacing difference and shows how egerly person two is waiting for person one to reach the destination. Shot Two ;  Over the shoulder shot - This shot is used t...

Learner Response; Summer Project

Mr Matthew's Response WWW: Outstanding detail given to the content of the news programme and the stories within it. EBI: you really pushed yourself to say something about the potential political leanings of each news programme. LR: Find out if the news programmes you saw are likely to present the news in a certain way (research their political bias) - post the results and see if it makes the order of the stories they published any more interesting. Learner Response Most news channels are likely to have certain bias political views, if there aren't a lot there is almost a guarantee for at least a little. I strongly believe this as, due to our human nature, everyone has their own views in certain areas so when the reporters develop a story they may just be bias, be that consciously or unconsciously. BBC Reporters are all said to have bias political views influencing their decisions and reporting techniques. These statements are strongly supported but also con...

Shots Analysis

Shot One What we can see in the shot is a Medium close up. The shot shows us the police all in one shot which helps to elaborate on how many officers are there and as it's a close up they help to show us how they are feeling and how important this chase is for them. What we can infer from the pictures close up is that the police are very serious about their case as they maybe losing their target and can foresee the negative effect or conclusion that may occur because of their target getting away. The way they're structured whilst standing may help the audience understand that the case is very important for the police and how much training they may have had to do with this situation. Shot Two This is an establishing shot. In the shot we can see a broken down old car which can cause the audience see what maybe being foreshadowed with a negative background. The broken and eerie layout makes the viewer tense up a little as the are wondering what may be coming within...
