There are many aspect of this soap which signifies the representation of; age, relationship and family.
For example sound is one important Technic which represented age, relationships and family, be it conversations between the characters or natural surrounding objects and even footsteps. I observed the sound by listing them from the beginning and then drawing link to each representations. the obvious sound in the clip was the conversation that took place between the four characters, it showed the age, family and relationships. The father being loud, bold and blunt confirmed his age, as he had little control which suggested that his on verge of old age and has sort of lost his maturity and control over his emotions, thoughts and feelings. However it also represented family and relationship because he was either protective of his daughter as a father or wanted to be showing, weak relationships. The mother however was calm and more soothing representing family and relationship as she tried her hard to understand the situation and then balance  the family and relationships, working as bridge between the father and daughter. the parent both worked as a team which again showed a stronger relationship between the  two both had equal say and understood each other. other surrounding object sounds such the foot steps, slam of the door and even the breathing, was signifying the emptiness and awkwardness of of this family and their relationship.

moving on to the camera and how each shot defined the representation of age, family and relationship. A shot medium shot showed body languages and the characters expressions which they did to emote their emotions and feeling and thoughts. The long shot of the four characters standing together that including the furniture of the house, gave a lot meaning, the perfectness, and the colours used where also signifying age, family and relationship, white symbolising pureness, innocent and the love which was perhaps strong form the parent. On the other hand the very first shot was crane or rising shot which showed the age as the furniture's of the house where expensive suggesting a well established couple or family, this would mean experience which represents age. The angles of these shot where quite interesting because at times the daughter and her boyfriend's medium shot included both the couple in the frame however it only showed one of the each of the parent, either mum or the dad. this suggests the relationship differed from one another. The costume is another thing that helped represent age, family and relationships, there was a contrast in representation of age between the parent and the daughter with boyfriend as the parent wore a more bright young colours that coordinated with each other unlike the daughter with boyfriend who dressed in darker, dull matured colours.

the editing connects the mise en scene as overall presentation  of the clip and it way of defining age, family and relationship. lighting would be something that is played with to reveal characters, their expressions and emotions, this helps audience to understand them and define the representation of age, family and relationships. The mise en scene again the character way of dressing up, their makeup and hairstyle all showed the representation of age contrasting between the two generation couples, the parents and the daughter with her partner.the colours contrasted but it also showed relationship appearing different, the relationship being strong within the couples but weak as a family.

Primeval Analysis Unfinished

While watching this clip straight away I could see that gender was representated by a number of things shown in the mise en scene. characters personality where shown by their costumes and the role they played. the form of the narrative was a basic usual structure, like any story or narrative in a film, but the genre could be guess by the action codes released. it was based on adventures theme, a sort detective team. however the director used both active and passive to create meaning throughly. camera shots made audience recognise who is the the main prespective leader or protagonist in by the end the clip, through verbal and non verbal languages. these made the film more interesting as story unfolded. gender representationw as quite manupilated and it seemed liek they played on how gender is precieved by the audience first they changed th ewhoel convention of or stereotypical view of gender roles, eg the women in the team far more sufisticated and mopre manly because the sort job she carried out her costume, her attitude, the sort of props she used, she seemed to use her mind rather than panic and helped the hero being saved, which normally, it shown that the protagonist or hero saving the girl form the trouble. the hero in the other hand semed more casual and calm, although the beginning outbreak of the danger or action code the film, it may have seemed that he didnt have the characteristic of a hero but as he brought attention fo the tiger towards him to save the girl it seemed obvious that he isn't coward but brave hero. in the second half the other women was repersented as the typical women with attractive dressing sense manipulative, blackmailing but at the end very weak physically. her short dress, high heels and and red lipstick gave audience a very steroitypical image of this women unlike how th efirst women with short hair, leather jacket almost army kind look with rough style gave revolutionary image of a women. now all this was given by th euse of lights, camera shots, visual aspect, aural aspects of the film. the use of shots made audience define the main protagonist, while lighting helped us to iunderstand the semiotic aspects. the visual aspect being shown both passively through the roles each characters protrayed. the Aural language was interesting

9 Frame Analysis of Down With Love

1) The very first shot is of a birds eye view of America the city of dreams. the equilibrium is show through the use the colour blue giving a sense of calmness. The clouds however kind of make it look foggy, symbolising something is hidden, a mystery as an enigma code. the genre, target audience, and the narrative whether linear or multi-stranded couldn't be defined as of yet

2) In this mise en scene (frame) you could see a crowds people walking in different direction, their costume worn are all of sort dark pale colours which again seems to be acting as enigma code a hidden mystery. Amongst them however, is one lady whom is dressed light pink coat and white hat she sorts defines the action code or perhaps brings the disequilibrium within this scene. the colours of her costume also signify purity and innocence which could mean she is not antagonist but rather the protagonist. Also the position of the her is quite far at the back but she could be spotted very easily and not lost in the crowd. this suggest she places an important role in the film.












3) now in this shot she is front of the crowd which suggest that she overcomes the possible problems and fights through the crowd to make her own position and status. The smile on her face could symbolize her confident and also could suggest a success she gained already.












4) Here in the frames left hand side you could see a row of taxes with the traffic man on the right side on the pavement with crowd behind him. theres one lade quite behind the traffic man whom has her arm up waving to the taxi which could suggest that she either has or hasn't gained attention.

5)in this shot there bunch of people standing on the pavement that seem to be protesting about something, which suggest an enigma code a mystery which we aren't aware as of yet. they all are young aged people, this could symbolise struggle of their aged group in the society or community they come from, the taxi passing them symbolises that not everyone thinks the same as these bunching protesting. it could be the action code of this scene breaking the equilibrium into a disequilibrium.

6) Here the collapse of these people does define some sort of action code that took place bringing a new equilibrium to the whole even or situation. the gas on the road also could define an action code the colour of costume and designs of it already hints of a early period film done in colour the look is different.

7) the women is standing side way in the left hand side of the frame, it an medium close up shot of her side view. her facial expression define a enigma code as audience doesn't know what is reason behind a smile which creates mystery. she looks like she reached a goal or destination she was longing for.

8)the mise en scene quite interesting  a bunch of people situated at middle of frame. you could some sort tension building up.

9) in this shot the disequilibrium is shown how the ladies situation is changed the atmosphere from complete quite into a crowded of people, she struggle to fight her situation however is unable.

Preliminary Exercise Evaluation

We  weren't very sure exactly what to do with our preliminary exercise at first we had a basic idea in terms of story but jessica had a very creative mind in terms of visualizing the shoot so explained her ideas and we loved it.  We then made our story board and decided who's doing what in our group who's acting in front camera and whom behind. However when we started actually shooting the first scene it wasn't working or actress Selina tried her best but it just didn't work seemed as we were not able explain what exactly we wanted her to do or maybe she couldn't understand of get the emotions correct so I stepped in and shot and it turned out correct I managed to understand what Liousa and Jessica our camera women wanted in this scene I shoot and they loved it. so I swapped my role with Selina and carried on shooting it was great fun while shoot and then we kept going over each scene and discussing whether it was suited or not. we finished on time and then came back to start editing, we learned some new new technics of editing which sir explain to us.

We all contributed equally taking part in editing even if it meant one of us just used the mouse. we learned that sound is very important in terms of making our clip more smoother. I personally learned a lot of new things whether it was acting with full understanding what producer and director view, getting the depth of what wanted of me in each shoot then reviewing my performance critically. I also learned and understood camera work more better while working practically with camera.

Safety hazards is another thing we learned in process of shooting because it can create huge problem and waste time. but if you layout thing correctly and securely things go much smoother.

I am very happy with the finished product if we had more time yes, there was definitely more room for improvement but overall it was done very nicely.
It is important that you great team work in what ever you you and be active and dedicated in your area, my team were amazing to work with, we seemed to have a bonding instantly and understood each other very well.
