Benjamin Reeve Coursework

Run! - Remake - Evaluation   Evaluate the use of micro elements in your short film. - Mise-en-scene- Through setting i have created the same setting as the original, as i have used a wooded area, to try and make the film link closely to the original, however trying to add my own spin on it. I never focused on hair make-up and costume, due to the fact it was a quick task and was filmed during school. The use of setting has helped to create a powerful narrative and through the use of this micro elements a simple linear narrative has been created.  - Cinematography- I have tried to link it to the original but i have not tried to copy any shots in the original as i have tried to add my own creative twists to it. This decision was caused because of the limited time and i was trying to film from multiple angles but didn't think to closely about the original.  Editing- I have cut down some of the shot lengths meaning that after my final edit the short film,it ...

Where have I been all your life? – Evaluation.  Micro Elements: ·         Mise-en-Scene ·         Cinematography ·         Sound ·         Editing Macro Elements: ·         Representation ·         Genre ·         Narrative ·         Audience The dialogue is the most important thing to drive the narrative along, using this micro element, macro elements are constructed throughout the short film. This short film uses comedy to create a lighthearted take on a delicate subject.  Establishing this narrative helps to assemble a liner narrative and one that can conform to Todorov’s theory of narrative. As throughout the film, an equilib...

Fast Motion Effects   This is the Effect that im going to try to create  and create with a final task. 

Walking on Walls Research. P!AD's high hopes music video is unique as it show the lead singer climbing a sky scrapper. This is the Video which shows the possibility of creating the effect that has been shown in the High Hopes video in Premiere Pro.

Cinematography in the Truman Show  The scene I will be using to show cinematography in the Truman show is the Do something scene with Truman and his “Wife”. Straight away a medium shot is used to create a sense of relaxation between the two characters. This allows the viewers to analyse how Truman’s “Wife” is acting and the character that she is playing. So the medium shot helps to show a relaxation between the two people. It helps to make the film feel natural and comfortable and Truman won’t notice what is happening as there is hidden cameras everywhere.   The second type of camera shot used is a two shot which has been used to show the interaction of Truman and his “Wife”. It helps to show a relaxed nature between both of them and there familiar relationship. The next shot is an extreme close up that is zooming in on Truman’s “Wife” as she is advertising the “Mococa” This type of shot helps to show a massive change between what is real a...
