Camerawork- There was a variety of different Camera shots during this video. Some examples of the camera shots I found were the Medium shot showing what the wife and husband were doing at separate occasions, Long shot used to show both actors downstairs and the background of the scenery down there, over the shoulder shot in many different situations such as when: Wife walked down in the basement camera was shown over husbands shoulder, Husband with hammer in hand shown over wife's shoulder, and after the murder as he struck her repeatedly with hammer, extreme closeup with hammers, and over the top as husband grabbed gun on the top shelf. Sound- The sounds varied over different portions of this video. In the beginning the Silent enough so you can hear footsteps and other sounds that is not specifically focused on which makes it feel more immersive. Other sounds occurring as it was quiet included sounds such as him loading up the gun, hitting the phone against the wall as well as picking up the phone and opening and closing the doors. Sounds when it wasn’t silent consisted of ambience sounds and different background sounds such as when dramatic murder takes place and the phone call. Mise en scene- The mise en scene that took place in this video had a variety of different example that could be pointed out. These included certain aspects such as the Husband with injured nose and baggy eyes showing distress, Basement had background of tools and posters that were being focused on throughout certain frames showing what he was focused on during confrontation with his wife. As he struck his you can see him panicked as his wife eyes light up and then switches back to himself which showed his lips quiver and mouth drop and eyes become surprised. Actors and camera shots were also placed in certain positions to show background attributes to the scene such as after the murder showing the washing machine which started the argument and then when he was on the phone it showed all POVS around him to show his house which seems homely which. Editing- The editing that took place during this video mostly consisted of raw editing and few transitions, however, they used zoom effects on things such as the poster, hammer, and wife's bloody face. There was also track movement which followed the husband as he walked around the basement towards his tools. Transitions, however, rarely used, were shown in some scenes such as when the closet door opened and closed as he was practicing what he was going to say in the mirror. Write Up compare and contrast The write ups of the scene's are both very similar content wise. The Cambridge response focuses on lighting and aspects of the south and background which i made a great focus on as well both responses focusing on the facial expressions of the actors throughout the scene. Both also take a focus on the washing machine and ties it into other ideas and parts of the scene, however had different ideas with it. The big difference between these two responses however is the organization. The Cambridge response is organized much differently and starts off speaking of the beginning scenes and gradually progresses on with how the story went. My response, rather, instead of organizing it into scenes and talking about the Sound, Mise en scene, camera work and editing, as it progressed in the scene, instead broke it up into different sections and spoke about them individually and spoke on what scene it occurred in specifically. This although might not be a problem however should possibly be changed to a different format depending on teachers response. Other than that, both responses both responses have really good content, and context with it. Notes Camerawork found- Medium shot showing spouses, Long shot showing both actors downstairs, over the shoulder shot showing Wife walking down in the basement and camera above husbands' shoulder, Husband with hammer in hand shown over wife's shoulder, and after the murder, extreme closeup with hammers, over the top showing husband grab gun. Sound- Silent beginning so you can hear footsteps and other sounds, feels more immersive Other sounds occurring as it was quiet included the gun, phone against the wall, and other doors. Sounds when it was not silent consisted of ambience sounds and background sounds. Mise en scene- Husband has injured nose and baggy eyes, Basement had background of tools and posters that are focused on showing attention, Husband panicked after murder showing his lips quiver, mouth drop, and eyes widen. Actors and camera shots show background attributes to the scene such as washing machine. Editing- The editing's consisting of raw editing and few transitions. zoom effects used on things such as the poster, hammer, and wife's face. Track movement used which followed the husband as he walks around the basement. Transitions, shown in some scenes such as when the closet door opening and closing as he practices murder quotes. Notes compare and contrast The notes, alike the write up, both have very similar content and similarities in what is being noted down and why it is being written down. Both are also formatted the same and separated so it is very organized and easy to find what has been written. The main difference between the two however, is how they are explained and the context given. In the candidate response the notes made are very vague and have no real time stamp on when it occurred, on the other hand, my responses give slight context on what was occurring and when it could've been occurring so it would be easier to right about when doing the write up. Although this makes it seem like my response could have been better, this was most likely due to the worrying of time management during the real exam and the possibility of stress and pressure during it. This shows that i should possibly not take and use so much time dissecting each scene into my notes and rather jot down points so i can write down as much information as possible.
