Media fragrance 2



I am thinking of doing something different to my first fragrance. I might do something in the woods with a girl leaning against an oak tree. I will get my friend to model for it when I do it. It can be called:

  • -      Oak – let your inner nature out.
  • -      Nature- let all your nature out

I will also do it in the forests by my house.

Media cover work

notes on the extract master and commander

  • ·         Fast movement
  • ·         Silence creates suspense
  • ·         Silence ended by loud cannon noises.
  • ·         Several close up shots
  • ·         Explosion makes some of the boat destroyed
  • ·         Establishing shot of the boat
  1.   The extracts typically an historical AA genre as you can feel the suspense when everything goes silent, then you see a bright light and the captain shouts “duck and cover” this I when most of the boat gets destroyed. Captain Jack is a heroic protagonist and so he shows courage in the face of danger. The captain of the ship is very stereotypical as he is in control and bosses the rest of the crew around. There are a lot of close up shots and there is one establishing shot of the ship. The fog creates isolation and this creates suspense. you can tell who the villainous antagonist is the pirates in the other ship. this shows as they are throwing cannons at the other ship.on of the conventions used which makes it a typical AA genre is that when the cannons hit the ship and parts of the ship gets destroyed. the audience is positioned as the officer of the watch as we saw the ship but the officer did not see it.
  2.    Soundtrack- builds suspense and shows there is jeopardy. This also makes the audience sit on the edge of their seat. the drums as well which is dyegetic sound the drum roll is the warning so the people get into position to fight. there is dyegetic when they are trying to get into position, they hear commander shouting at them to move, this builds a picture of fast pace, frantic and frightened atmosphere. Camera work- the camera work is very varied as they have close-ups and they also have long shots and establishing shots, this makes it more AA genre.there was a POV shot when the Captain is looking through the telescope Editing- the editing is very good as you see parts of the ship being destroyed and blown up when the explosion from the cannons hit the ship.Mise-en-scene- the fog, ships and show that it is from ages ago and they seem like pirates.

Kingsman extract

The Kingsman narrative shows different Action and Adventure conventions as in the extract it shows different scenarios in which the intelligent and young males have to figure out a way to save themselves and their friends for dangers that they come across. This makes the moment in the film more tense at that time, this makes people sit on the edge of their seats because they are eager to see what will happen next in the film. Another action and adventure convention that is shown is the villain, in this extract it shows one of the antagonists running and then bursting straight through a window holding a pistol and firing it at the same time. this makes the audience excited as they know that they would not be able to do this. one the of the villains has blades as her legs and so she can run and cut people in half, this makes her come across as a huge villain.
