Cinematography analysis tasks

Find the opening sequence to a film or TV drama of your choice on YouTube and embed the video in a blogpost called 'Cinematography blog tasks'. 

1) Write an analysis of the cinematography in the opening sequence. Highlight your use of media language and try to cover camera shots, angles and movement using the terminology we have learned in lessons. 

Whithin this video there is many aspects of cinematogrophy.They create enigma and action codes which helps us a a audience feel more engaged with this clip.Furthermore it makes us as an audience understand cinematogrpohy much more.At the start of the clip we can see a two shot where both characters are present.As well as this within it there is a long shot as we can see everything in the bedroom.This helps to highlight the aspects of clamps because it means that we can see the aspect of setting and how it reflects on the characters.In my opinion i believe that it adds to the disturbing atmosphere because the two shot of the two characters is very scary.Furthermore a tracking shot means that we can follow the narrative more easily and actually focus on whats going on rather than getting distracted by anything else.A switch from a medium close up to a long shot makes the character appear more smaller and less in power.

2) How does the camerawork give the audience clues about the setting, narrative and character?

-power dynamic of character and paranormal activities

-enigma and action codes

-setting was clearly established due to a long shot as well as two shot

Secondly, find and analyse one film or TV still image. Add the image to your blogpost. 

3) Analyse the camera shot/angle in the image and what it communicates to the audience. Remember to highlight the media terminology you use.

The still image i chose is a medium close up. The characters have stern facial expressions and one of them have their arms crossed. This creates them to have power. Furthermore it communicates to us as a audience that they hold power just by the way they are standing as well as how their facial expressions are. In my opinion as the audience believe that this is deliberately done in order to show the power imbalance we have compared to the characters.
