Continuity Piece

For our continuity piece, we done a short clip of a boy starting a fire, i personally helped act and film in the piece, when we edited we had to chose between various clips but in the end we done it to the best of our ability!

Se7en Film opening sequence

Today in our media lesson, we looked at the opening 5 minutes of the film, se7en. we studied the view of the film and the mice-en-scene. At first we see that the young and cocky detective who is played by Brad Pitt keep trying to push infront of Morgan Freeman who is and expierienced detective who is layed back, the character that Morgan plays is very relaxed and knows how to handle situations whereas cocky Bradd Pitt is very in your face so it shows a rwal contrast of two detectives. We also see little bits of the villain in the clip aswell. The villain seems very organised and everything has a place which shows he obviously does not want to get caught, he also seems to be a very religious person because he cut out the word GOD which was on a one dollar bill.
The lighting whic is shown is very natural but in some parts also gloomy because a man has just died so that backs up that effect, there are alot of props used like the thing when Morgan is laying in bed (i forgot what its called!) that was ticking in rythm and rythm is a big part of Morgans character so it shows he likes things to be done in a certain way, The opening sequence was very interesting because it contrasts alot of different characters and we learn a hell of alot about these characters in a 5 minute clip.

Media Manifesto

From now i would class myself as a hardworking individual and im happy to be in the 6th form. For my GCSE's i got 2B's in PE and Media, I also got 6C's in History, English language, English literature, Maths, Science and i also passedmy Alan exam. The reason why i chose to do Media at A Level is because i enjoyed it at GCSE and i got a good grade which would give me a good boost at A Level.
The targets i am setting myself is to get at least a C if not better in all of my studies, I havemany varied carrer aspirations, i would like to do mny things which is why i chose a variey of subjects, i would like to go University and study Drama and the media, Maybe join the navy or even Pe teaching so my options are very varied!
