As every other Marvel movie starts off, the graphics are run of different Marvel comics. During this, from 0:07-0:15, the first thing I noticed was a voice over. There is a woman talking to Captain Marvel, however, the viewer doesn't know who it is or where it's coming from, as the introduction is still being played. After showing Captain Marvel in a space pod of some sort, the scene shifts to show who we can assume to be Maggie, or Captain Marvel's girlfriend. This clip of Maggie is a close up, showing her face, in which we can see her crying. By showing this, a mood of sadness is conveyed. To also support this feeling, there is sad and dramatic music playing, which is an example of non-diegetic sound and post synchronous dubbing, as the audience can hear it but the characters cannot, meaning it was added after filming. In the following scene, the jet that Captain Marvel is on is shown, from a low-angle. This makes it feel as if the jet is very large and significant, beca...

Examples of Mise En Scene I chose to watch MTV's T.V. show "Scream" that I've been watching recently. As watching I found some examples of Mise en Scene that I thought represented the show well. Setting: One of the scenes takes place at the local high school. The psychology teacher, Ms. Lang, is currently there on a day off of school to "grade papers" (she's actually up to something that is a little more worrying). She is recording a voice over of herself, until she hears loud banging noises and decides to go into the hallway to check it out. The hallway is dimly lit and empty, creating a mysterious and creepy mood. Suddenly a black figure moves behind her, making even more tension fill the scene. Lighting: Because most of the horror-action in the show happens at night, whenever it becomes nighttime, the audience can expect something bad to happen. In the current scene, Emma and her friend are at an "abandoned house", which is really ju...

By adding the music it really helped the viewers to understand the intensity of the race and how much adrenaline I had while running. This is also an example of non-diegetic music because no one in the actual video could hear it, but those watching the edited clip can. 2. Synchronous sound: For my second clip in contrast I tried to convey that I was sleeping. I was laying in my bed with my blanket surrounding me and a pillow on my face. To show that I was sleeping I added the sound of a sleeping baby breathing. This correlated to the fact that I was also sleeping, as that's what the viewer saw and heard.  3. Direct sound: Direct sound is the sound from the video itself, with no music or extra sound added. This is also an example of diegetic sound because the people in the video hear what the view...

I chose to do my examples from the show that I am still watching. At this point, the storyline relates to Arthur of Camelot and Merlin the wizard. Most of these clips focus on Merlin, the magical wizard.  Parallelism: for this type of edit I chose to compare the sun and a mirage that the characters were seeing. When watching, I noticed how the scene started off with a view of the sun, and then went down to the characters. I continued watching and noticed the twinkling light of the mirage, which reminded me of the bright sun at the beginning of the episode. These two scenes were connected through a matching element, being the bright light. Contrast: the shots I chose to compare showed the difference between the barren, arid wasteland and the beautiful, lush countryside. When watching I noticed a big change in scenery, which I thought was a good representation of contrast. It starts off with the two men, running down the sandy hill to what they think is a mirage. Howev...

https://youtu.be/Yo0WViNE8BY Contrast: For my contrast shot I compared running a race at a track meet to sleeping. These are two very different extremes that I thought would be a good example of contrast. One example where my adrenaline is at its highest and one where I'm peaceful and relaxing. These two scenarios are very different and are a good representation of contrast. Parallelism: For this edit, I chose to show two scenes that had much in common, but that were overall different. The first clip is of the cheer team at practice, practicing a new dance for the next pep-rally. The second video is of us at a pep-rally performing a dance. This goes to show that there is more beyond what everyone sees. At practice we put in hard work and dedicate ourselves to learning new material to perform at such pep-rallies. Symbolism: For these two videos I chose to chose water as my symbol. Water is a vital part of everyone's lives and can be seen in many different places and forms....

Kelsey Cashin Period 1 Review of camera angles used in ABC's TV show Once Upon a Time I chose to do this project on a show I have recently been watching called Once Upon a Time. It follows the lives of fairy tale characters as if they were living in our modern world. While the show involves alternating flashbacks from the enchanted world and the modern world, there are many different camera angles that are used. The show often conveys much drama, suspense and mystery, which is done through dramatic or creepy music, and a variety of camera angles. Special effects are frequently used as well to show "magic" which also helps keep the viewer on their toes. As I started watching, the first thing I noticed was an arc shot. This involved the camera circling around the subjects, in this case the Evil Queen, Snow White, Prince Charming, Captain Hook, and Snow and Charming's daughter, Emma. The scene takes place in the modern world, however there is still magi...
