My understanding of Cinematic Language

-

     Cinematic language is the use of techniques the filmmakers use to convey meaning or mood to the audience. This may include lighting, mise-en-scene, cinematography, performance, editing, and sound.

     For example, if a movie starts out with many quick cuts, and fast camera movements, it may be suggesting to the audience that the movie is very fast paced. The same thing if a movie takes place in a dark scene, it may signify to the audience that the movie is possibly a thriller or a sci-fi genre type film.

Topic: The Dark Knight Political Ideologies Reflection

-
  What does the political ideologies of your given symbol say about the current political system of America? Use S.E.E to respond to the discussion. Please note we will be meeting on Wednesday to discuss more.  The political ideologies that my given symbol shows are that the people decide who they want to lead and protect them. The U.S. political system lets its people settle the type of leader they want to govern them- and it's most likely a person with a face and a righteous moral. The image shows Harvey Dent holding a badge that says "I believe in Harvey Dent" it shows that he is one of the candidates for some sort of upcoming election, and compared to the other symbols, he is the only one showing his face.

"The Crossing" Discussion Post   10-22-2020      The filming used a lot of cinematic languages to give the viewer a feel of suspense and fear while watching it. During the opening cut of the film, there is a widescreen view of a woman entering a subway and calling someone. The scene then cuts to a close side-view of the woman, where we see her apologizing to someone, which would give the viewer suspense as to why she is apologizing and heading towards the subway. Then there is the scene where the camera shifts to different views of the woman walking in the subway hallway, possibly causing even more suspense in the viewer. As she walks in the hallway, she passes a creepy looking image on the wall. Then we see a close-up view of a man kicking his legs on the ground. Then we see a wide-view of the woman looking at his legs suddenly seem to "drop dead" and get dragged away behind a corner. This scene might cause the viewer to feel fear of the sudden mysterious movem...

The Art of Editing Reflection

  The Art of Editing Reflection 11-18-2020     What is meant by the phrase “art of editing? The art of editing is just a way to create transitions from one moment to the next to be able to tell a story. These transitions can, "be the foundation of a film's pace, its atmosphere, and it can even be the enriching ingredient to strengthen all the film's themes." The editing in a movie can come in multiple different styles which, depending on the scene, would give the feeling that the editors want the audience to feel. How does editing contribute to storytelling? Editing contributes to storytelling by being the transition and placement of cuts in a certain order to create smooth motion. In the video, it states that "editing became a lot like music, a misplaced phrase, an out-of-sequence shot, and the entire symphony fall apart." Meaning that if an edit does not make sense in the film, the meaning of the film and the feeling that the editor wants the audience to f...
