Medium close up

A medium close up has been used so we are able to see the officers emotions and facial expressions more clearly. We can see they all look disappointed and cautious. The disappointment comes from the fact that they have to arrest their boss. The use of the medium close up is beneficial as we are able to see part of the background as well. At this point juxtaposition is clear to see as the camera went from one character to another. In the background we are able to see the reinforcement the police department has. This creates more drama as the audience begins to think about how Anderson is going to escape his entire police force.



Establishing shot

A establishing shot has been used so the audience is able to understand what is going on in the new scene. They are able to understand where the next section of filming is going to take place. The use of an establishing shot also means a lot of action and drama is able to be packed in which take place on a large scale. Here we can see Anderson in the background running down an ally. The use of a whip plan creates a sense of excitement and drama which sets the mood and atmosphere. The use of the burnt out car tells us that something rough is going to happen for example a battle.





Close- up

A  close up has been used to emphasise the fear Anderson feels. We begin to feel even more fearful for him. This also creates even more tension and drama. The blurred out background makes us concentrate on his facial expressions even more. His eyes show us he is out of breath tired and weary of what is going to happen next.

This is a wide/establishing shot. We have chosen to use this shot so the audience is able to understand whats going on. The audience can start to understand what is going to go on and what the scene is like. From the scene it becomes clear that this is set in a school.



High angle long shot- we have chosen to use this to show how timid the character is. The use of a long shot shows the scene around showing the character is alone and quite isolated from everyone. This makes the character look extremely weak and vulnerable.






Low angle long shot- We have used this shot so the audience is able to see the character in more detail.The characters body is visible head to toe. The angle makes the character look like she has authority and power which suits her role as a bully.






Low angle long shot-  The angle shot is used to portray the character as domineering.  We know it is a long shot as the characters body is visible head to toe. We cant properly see the characters facial expression however her body language suggests to us that she is careless.

                                                                                                       Low angle long shot- We have again used the same shot to emphasise how powerful and controlling the character is. The use of a long shot shows us the attitude of the character however her facial expressions are not clear.    

                   

Low angle medium shot- All three characters together in a medium shot helps the audience get to know the characters even better as they are able to see their facial expression in more detail. The fact that all three of them are in another low angle shot reassures their dominance, power and fear.

  Over the shoulder shot- This shot is used to show the audience a conversation between two characters is taking place. As previously the boy has appeared to look timid and shy and the girl appeared to be big and powerful the audience starts to feel fearful for the boy as it is inevitable that something bad is going to happen.

       Over the shoulder shot- Another over the shoulder shot is used to show what the conversation has lead to. The audience is able to only see the victim and the back of the bully and her fist. This allows the audience to focus on the emotion of the victim.

                                                               
               

Long shot- Here a long shot has been used so the audience is able to see the scene after the attack took place. it is clear to see that the bully doesn't care or feel remorse as she walks of leaving him alone.

 Long shot low angle- The final picture shows the final two girls following the other character away from the scene. This shows they also don't feel guilt or pity for the victim. We decided to use a low angle shot again to show the audience they are all powerful and domineering characters.

LANGUAGE

Looking at this film poster straight away you are able to see the key conventions often associated with film posters. The use of a bold font for the title, a clear centre picture, a billing block about key stars and producers, the names of the directors at the top of the poster, the production companies name and the addition of a tag- line are all expected conventions of a good film poster. The impact of these key conventions on the audience is that they are able to quickly pick out the information they need to discover which genre the movie is and who the target population is. These key conventions reinforce that the genre is horror for example; The font and colours of the title gives off an old traditional feel which is often associated with horrors movies. The use of capital letters makes us aware that it is a film poster. The dark colours are typical in horrors which gives the genre away.

INSTITUTION

This film was directed by Scott Derrickson and executively produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. The film was released August 22nd 2014 by Sony Pictures. Despite mixed reviews from critics, the film was a box office success, grossing $87.9 million against a $30 million budget. It had earned $2.8 million on its opening day. In its opening weekend, the film earned $9.5 million ranking it at number four at the box office in the United States.

AUDIENCE

Looking at this film poster it seems like it is suitable for both genders however it may be targeted at women as the centre picture appears to show the woman as the domineering character. The film may have an age rating however it isn't clear to see. Straight away its obvious that the film is going to be gory due to the centre picture. Also the tag-line suggests the audience is going to experience something they have never experienced before (you haven't seen true evil)

REPRESENTATION

The centre picture clearly shows an unusual female creature dominating a male who appears to have been tortured due to the way he is tied to a chair with layers of dirt on him. The unidentifiable letters scratched out on the floor are expected from a horror film poster to create a sense of uncertainty and confusion

I got put into media without choosing it. I was unable to do what I wanted so I ended up doing media. If I had picked media it would be because it seems like a fun lesson which is a bit more chilled so I won’t have to stress about it too much like I will be with maths English and science.

9) What aspects of this show might the audience enjoy? List at least three things and explain why the audience would enjoy each aspect.

The bright colours as soon as the show starts grabs the audience’s attention and makes them more intrigued. Also the way the camera crew zoom in and out of the presenter interests the viewers as it sends us a sense of fun.

The presenter is very cheery and seems to have a comfortable conversation with each of the contestants. This makes us a viewer’s feel like the participants are normal people like us.

The audience responses to things said and things which have happened are often very positive, encouraging us as viewers to carry on watching as we believe it is interesting as we often follow the majority of peoples opinions.
