Easy rider response

Within this scene, a variety of different techniques that range from editorial techniques to audio techniques is used to convey the emotion of boredom and portray the image of what substance potentially abuse feels like for the audience. The scene begins with a still eye-level shot with diegetic sound, which potentially could be some construction, of 4 adults who appear to be spending there day within a cemetery. From the moment this scene opens, the body language that these actors portray implies that they have reached a dead-end within their lives; I would go as far as to say that they appear to be going through some sort of existential crisis. What drives this point even further is the lack of movement from the camera and sound with the addition of the restlessness of the characters sitting down as if they are longing for something to happen within their lives. these two points alone allow the audience to quickly grasp an idea of what these characters are going through without the characters saying a single word. However, the way that these characters appear to be dressed allows us to Imply that they could be hippies that just spend their time doing nothing. This would not be too unexpected as this film did release within the 60s where hippies were most apparent. As this scene progresses, the editorial techniques become increasingly intense. The 4 adults indulge in the use of acid/LSD to past the time. In comparison to the characters being sober to tripping, the editing techniques show what is happening very clearly. As they indulge within acid, quick, fast-paced gradually come noticeable.

To themes of black struggle and love and to what feels like a never ending with the police, these are the many themes that is used within alright video. Introduction Within the beginning of the video, Lamar uses the establishing shot of the Oakland-Bay bridge as a framework for the subsequent visuals and messages — entirely in monochrome to contrast “black” and “white” — and messages; he also uses the establishing shot as a microcosm for American society as we explore the meaning of what it is to be black in America — contextualized by Lamar's narrative — and how he copes with his racial identity.

Analysing genre specific editing techniques

Individual approaches and styles are used to show different genres of cinema during editing. The way these genres are edited changes the way we think about the tale and our emotions shift as a result of the strategies utilised; it catches and draws the audience in. Fast-paced editing is frequently employed in horror films. This is done to create suspense and make the audience nervous and anxious about what will happen next. They're anticipating being astonished or scared by the next quick-cut shot. The most typical shot in these types of films is a low shot. In the shots of chosen characters, low shots evoke anxiety. They intimidate people, exude authority, and believe they are superior to the other characters in the picture. In horror films, the use of high shots and close-up shots denotes vulnerability, usually in the victims. 'One Missed Call' is an example of a film that effectively employs these strategies.

Analysing Promotional Video - Meet iPhone 12

Analysing Promotional Video - Meet iPhone 12 Context within apple commercials, the main focus within them are to promote and sell their products to the audience and do this by showing their products in various aspects of life. In this iPhone 12 advert this is exactly what has been done here. As you cans see within the advert, the phone is being used in different day-to-day scenarios that are relatable to an audience. For example, to show the speed of the phone the footage of real life is slowed and the phone speed is normal to show in a hyperbolic way that the phone is faster than life. Such hyperbolic creative shots like this is what makes the advert memorable to an audience. This is something i want to incorporate into my work as this is a very efficient way to market a product. Sound Non-Diegetic: An upbeat soundtrack can be heard to match the pacing of the video. This can also be in relation to the speed of the phone. a gust of wind can be heard when the pho...
