Literal Bohemian Rhapsody (analysis)

This short thriller film uses the lyrics from bohemian rhapsody as its dialogue, bringing the songs lyrics and meaning to life with clever precision and attention to detail. The lyrics they chose to use in this short lends very well to a convectional thriller narrative. The opening lines are used as the standard thriller establishing shots with narrating from the main character as the shorts opening this clearly sets the tone to the thriller. The next scene uses the next part of the lyrics to build the critical conflict at the end of a thrillers 1st act. The next scene is the classic 2nd act where the tension builds up to the final act exploding into the conclusion scene where the main character dies, the main character dying at the end of a thriller is a common thriller cliche appearing in films such as
Black Swan (2010) and The Departed (2006).

Live TV Editing

what are the challenges faced by live TV editors?

the challenges faced by live TV editors include having to make sure the right audio and video appear on the live feed on the fly. They also have to make sure that any harder edits are done quickly and effectively, edits like green screen effects have to be pre-prepared before the broadcast and then they have to make sure they are shown at the right time. Live TV editors need to make sure that every fact or stat they use is correct or believable having to accurately update stats as the broadcast goes on.

How and what is the meaning created through the editing example? 

The successful edit that i showcase in this video shows a slow motion highlight/replay this edit is done to show that the event that is replayed has importance and is re-shown slowly to create effect and significance to make sure the audience remember these moments the most and to make sure that the important moment isn't forgotten.

Summary of Unit 1 work (so far)

We looked at how truth is represented in the media for biased or propaganda means (Hillsborough Disaster - the sun)

Representation of people in reality TV (stereotypes and if they reinforced or not)

Stuart hall’s theories on approaches to representation.

Reflective approach is a reflection of the real world; representations are accurate to reality. For instance in the documentary, skint they show how the lower class live. A reflective approach would be that all lower classes live like the people in the documentary.

Intentional approach is that the representation is created as propaganda to show opinions and make the audience follow them.

Constructionist approach is a mix of the other two approaches.

We took photos of us in different poses, lighting and camera angles to show how things like this can change the way we see or interoperate images

We looked at controversial adverts showcasing that some adverts have underling horrible meanings and implications. Discussing who might agree with its representations or challenge them.

We also looked at print and video adverts that showed stereotypes and we looked at others that showed how adverts could be polysemic or anchored.

We looked at films and TV shows that feature intertextuality to show how they make the intertextuality and why they do it.
