Discussion yesterday

Yesterday during media, we shared our idea with mrs slater, and explained what we were going to do. She suggested we watch some other short films and note some of the techniques used, to interperate them in our film. We will be watching some films soon and noting down different techniques used and to see how we could link it with our idea


Also yesterday, we discussed the codes and conventions in class.


Technical Codes
Camera angles - the widely recognised way of doing something - framing, lighting, typography

Verbal Codes
Everything to do with the language. Would usually be written, or spoken

Symbolic Codes
Everything that links with cultural reference/experience

Equilibrium
The atmosphere/mood at the beginning of the film. I.e Happy

Disequilibrium
When the atmosphere/mood gets disturbed. Something bad happens to someone/something

Equilibrium Restored
When the problem is solved, and equilibrium is restored. Happiness is back and it ends happily.
