Self Assessment

WWW:

-We nailed the amateur-team recording aesthetic

-I nailed the Hispanic-American accent really well somehow

-The recreation was extremely faithful to the original

-The costume was followed closely as well

EBI:

-It would have been nicer to record this with a steady camera as this was recorded with a phone

-It would have been nicer to be able to have done it in one take.

-Next time edit with Adobe Premier, as this was edited with CapCut (a mobile editing app)


I think the biggest thing we could have used to improve would have been time. Everything was rushed and done very last minute. Timing would've allowed us to have more time to record everything (obviously) but it would've given us time to plan everything and would've definitely given me more time to memorise the script so that I would be able to have done it in one take. Editing could've been improved on heavily as well, since we all used CapCut (a mobile editing app) and its not really on the same level as Adobe Premier. As well as this the editing was also done very last minute and was rushed so that was a bit annoying. A tripod would have been a life saver to have as the filming wasn't the most stable as it was hand recorded via phone so by default the stability isn't the best.

Mise-en-scene in Television and Film is incredibly important and crucial. Without perfect mise-en-scene, a scene will ultimately fail. Mise-en-scene is essentially the backbone of everything you see in TV and Film and with no backbone, there is virtually no support so you'll end up watching someone fall apart. The lighting is in my opinion the most important as it can convey the scenes mood for you. For example, dim lighting/Low-key lighting can either depict something serious or something mysterious and full of suspense. The way the characters keep themselves during the scene is also extremely import as if they don't, they can be regarded as lazy and disingenuine and it kills the overall feel of the scene. Placement is important as it could give a character authority or can be used in clever ways for foreshadowing - the same can be applied to props as well. but foreshadowing with props is mostly used in horror films.

TV: Industry Contexts

    Independent: British viewers can't get enough of foreign-language dramas: 1)  What does the article suggest regarding the traditional audience for foreign-language subtitled media? "Fifteen years ago, if you'd mentioned to a colleague that you'd spent Saturday night glued to a subtitled European drama, you'd have been quietly declared pretentious, dull and, possibly, a little odd. Skip to today and foreign-language dramas aren't even on-trend, they're fully mainstream. Now we are as likely to discuss the latest Danish thriller over a morning flat white at our desks as we are a new season on HBO." 2) What does Walter Iuzzolino suggest is the key appeal of his 'Walter Presents' shows? "The channels were "restaurants who had put a special on the board". Walter Presents makes the specials board the main offering – so you can't play safe with the televisual equivalent of a cottage pie." 3) The article makes an interesting

Practical Study Task

TV crime drama extract 1:  Narrative and genre How is the narrative and the crime drama genre communicated to the audience? Crime Drama referenced : Mr  Inbetween (Season 2 Episode 9 'Ray Kills the Pedophiles) -Its very clear a kidnapping has taken place at the store, even though we don't see it we know it's happened as there's a shift in tone right after Ray's daughter's friend has been kidnapped and when we see it happen from the CCTV back up. This serves as the beginning. We then follow Ray and his daughter as he visits his friends who also are involved with things like cybercrime, and it's through this where he's able to find out who the kidnapper is.

  Wider reading on race and Old Town Road Read this W Magazine deep dive on the Yeehaw agenda and answer the following questions:  1) What are the visual cues the article lists as linked to the western genre?  Cowboy hats, cow prints, rhinestones, and fringed suede jackets. 2) How did the Yeehaw agenda come about?  In September 2018, the trend of black pop-culture figures wearing cowboy garb was dubbed the “Yeehaw Agenda” by Bri Malandro, a Texas-based pop-culture archivist. 3) Why has it been suggested that the black cowboy has been 'erased from American culture'?  "The imagery associated with Americana has been overwhelmingly white, so much so that the Studio Museum in Harlem even held a “Black Cowboy” exhibition two years ago, featuring photographic works from Kahlil Joseph, Deanna Lawson, and Chandra McCormick that aimed to bring the black cowboy to the forefront of western history." 4) How has the black cowboy aesthetic been reflected by the fashion industry? &qu
