A Podcast About Film Aspects

In English we are learning how to analyse how film aspects costume, motifs, symbolism, and insert shots show meaning. I will know I have done this when, I can explain why and how costume, motifs, symbolism, and the insert shot are used to show meaning in film.

We are learning this because this is applicable in certain jobs and aspects of other tasks. Jobs like directors need to know about it to flair up the film and actors need it to ensure that they themselves can create the desired effect.

With the culmination of all the past things I've learned I have a relatively good grasp of the film topic.

A 30sec Self Directed Film

In english we have been making our own 30 second films, in five groups we chose topics and started planning. I don't know much about the planning because I was doing something else but I can tell you about other things. I being the main actor had the most important part, if I wasn't there the film would have been a disaster. I had to steal a book and get caught! I know so cool, be amazed. We filmed six different scenes the last one was me being caught, I wanted to hit the librarian with a book though. The editing took a while but we ended up with a great film, it had great music too. Actually never mind the editors failed ha ha ha hee.

hopefully you like it because I did but don't anymore.

Oh questions:

• What am I learning?

About making films.

• How does this work show my learning?

it has the finished product.

• What am I wondering as a result of this learning?

how long it takes to make an hour and a half film, this took three weeks.

Setting in Coraline

We're STILL doing film study in English because topics take a while, which is why we only have five this year. This time I had to make a Digital Poster showing the settings in Coraline.

And the famous Questions:

What am I learning?

About the importance of setting in a film.

How does this work show my learning?

Because I would need a reasonably good understanding of setting if I were to make anything decent.

What am I wondering as a result of this learning?

Would it ruin the movie if the real world was somewhere warm and tropical.

What am I learning?

Stuff about film study.

Because I would have to know the shots and the names of the shots to do this.

What am I wondering as a result of this learning?

Why is film study so hard? My brain is frying.

Coraline - What I remember

In English we are doing film study, the film we are doing is called Coraline.

It starts off with Coraline moving to a new house called 'The Pink Palace'. After she arrives she goes into the garden and grabs a stick off a bush to use as a dowsing rod. she follows the dowsing rod trying to find a well, when she reaches the well we first meet a character named Wyborn. Wyborn scares Coraline when he enters because he rode down from up above her wearing a strange mask. Wyborn points out the well Coraline was looking for and points out that the dowsing rod Coraline was using was made out of poison oak. Then it starts to rain, and that was the first five minutes of the movie. (that's not all I remember but oh well)
