Mise-en-scene In basic terms, Mise-en-scene is everything you see on-screen. The 5 elements of mise-en-scene include:- Lighting & colour Costume, hair & make-up Location, sets and props Facial expressions and body language Position of characters and objects in the frame Activity = settings and props 1). Costume, Hair & Make-Up Costume, Hair & Make-up act as an instant indicator to a character's personality, status and job.  Costume & Make-up can relate back to a certain time period or they can tell us whether this character is a villain or a hero e.g. a bright coloured cloak for a superhero or a black cloak for a villain. Hair and Make-up can signify certain characters. An example would be The Joker in "Dark Knight", who has red lips and a white face to symbolise a clown. This could also connote that this character is very psychotic and evil. 2). Facial expressions & Body Language Facial expressions provid...

Poster Analysis Research To create my poster, I researched other images and posters that advertised Doctor Who Series 11. Some of these images included objects and characters such as The TARDIS, The Doctor and the companions. In addition, I used one of my own images of the top of a cliff which would act as the setting of my poster. In consolidation, this would appeal to my target audience of science fiction fans or more particularly Doctor Who fans, as I have used images associated with the show such as a police box, which will give fans a sense of familiarity. Creating my poster After getting inspiration from these images, I designed my poster on paper using text and drawing pictures. Afterwards, using Photoshop, I structured my poster (left) by cutting out certain objects and characters from the pictures I researched and placing them on to the background. After placing the images in position, I added typical conventions of a movie po...

Frame In the UK, Frames are recorded at 25FPS (frames per second). In each frame, there are two fields. These fields can be interlaced or progressive. When the frames are interlaced, the two fields are scanned one after the other and when the frames are progressive, the two fields are scanned at the same time. Jaggies = Anomalies in displayed images in the frame. Audio A VU (volume unit) meter A PPM (peak programme meter) For a TV programme, this meter would measure 5.5ppm for voice, 3ppm for SFX and 4ppm for Music.

The picture above shows how I created a black video on Adobe Premiere Pro. I started off by creating folders such as Audio and Footage for a certain date. Then, I created the black video and changed the duration to 10 hours.

Audience Demographics Audience Demographics - A way of categorising advertising audiences. Demographic audience profiling will categroize audience to their:- Age Class Education Gender Household size, owner Marital status Occupation and income Audiences are categorized in groups A to E. Groups A + B are the highest earning and possibly the ones with the highest disposable income. Those who are retired may not earn money but often have an income they use for luxuries Grade = Social Status = Occupation Group A = upper middle class = higher managerial, administrative or professional Group B = middle class = intermediate managerial, administrative or professional Group C1 = lower middle class = supervisory or clerical, junior managerial, administrative or professional Group C2 = skilled middle class = skilled manual workers Group D = working class = semi and unskilled manual workers Group E = lowest level of substitute = state pensioners or widows, cas...

Different Types of Sound in TV & Film Sound - Everything that can be heard in a scene Dialogue - Words spoken by characters in a scene. An example of this would be in ' Pirates of The Caribbean ' when Will & Jack interact during a sword fight. Voiceover - An omniscient narrator or a character heard talking in a scene. An example of this would be how David Attenborough narrates ' Planet Earth II '. Music - This is used to heighten the emotion and drama of a scene. An example of this would be that a sinister tune is played at each entry of Darth Vader in the Star Wars movies, which helps to create tension around his character. Sound Effects - A recorded sound other than dialogue or music which is added to the soundtrack to enhance the tension. Examples of this could a ringing phone or a gunshot, which is used in the film, ' No Country For Old Men '. Diegetic Sound - A sound that has a physical origin in the film world. An e...
