I rate 6/10 – Its aight, I’ve had better in a school cafeteria

Memorable scene – The red bathroom scene

Film Element Focus – Cinematography

One Point Perspective – All focus goes to one vanishing point on the horizon. The easiest example to visualise would be a corridor.

Symmetry – The set reflects itself along the centre axis which the camera is aligned on as if through a mirror.

Deep Focus – The focus is on the foreground, midground and background.

Steadicam Tracking Shots – The camera tracks a character or object through a scene but the camera is suspended between axes such that the movement of the camera is independent of the stabilizer or cinematographer

A lot went well such as the speed of getting the set together and solving problems or the teamwork between us.

A few things that could have gone better would be not being able to use the conference room or the acting which could definitely use some work (especially mine).

I’m also mildly perturbed by the fact that nobody challenged any of my ideas

Diegetic perspective:

Diegetic perspective is when the audience looks at the events from an outside perspective. This can also be referred to as ‘This Person Perspective’

Intra-diegetic perspective:

Intra-diegetic perspective is when the audience takes the perspective of an established character. This technique is used a lot in horror films to ground the audience in the horror. This can also be referred to as ‘First person perspective’.

Example: Psycho – shower scene

Extra-diegetic perspective:

Extra-diegetic perspective is when a character directly addresses the fact that the audience is there, recognising the audience as an external entity either simply looking in or almost as a character in the world, even if for just a moment. This can also be referred to as ‘Second person perspective’.

Example: The Emperor’s New Groove

I rate it a 7.8/10, too much water

Memorable scene – tears in rain (duh)

Film element focus – mise-en-scene

mise-en-scene translates from french to ‘setting’ and is roughly defined as ‘everything in the scene’

The top 10 box office films of 2018 follow various trends such as being tied to a mass-media franchise or huge conglomerate like 6 of them being owned by Disney or 8 of them being a sequel or remake. This trend is followed throughout the top 20 as well.
