Camera angle analyses.

Analyses of four film stils

This image is a medium shot in order to show the full family and show each character in a clearer way. By showing each character , it shoes what the show must consist of and what type of genre it is. As it is a medium shot , it shows how the family is united together and how everyone is happy and normal. However , if the camera shot was close up on someone , it could express that there is something wrong or intrusting with that particular character.

Again a medium shot shows how all the characters are shown and gives everyones reaction and actiom. It alsos the audience to see every character and the audience can see what each character is doin a and how they contribute to the scene and how they feel emotionally in the scene.

 This close up scene shows how powerful and expressive this character reaction is and shows hwo scard she is. By having a close up scene of the character it can give the audience a proper imsight of what the character is feeling and the situation they are in and how they may feel.


This picture is from the same movie , yet is shot at a different angle , it suggest how terrified the character is by looking at both her facial expression and her body expressions. You can see the intensity of her face and her body and how she is holding the phone. Having a medium shot can show the audiece the scene properly and how the enviroment around the character is like

Film noir movies are all about the light intensitys , in certain scenes the lighting will be bright however in other scenes the lighting will be dark and very lowkey. This showa that the lighting is all for an effect and can change the moods of a person fast . It can also be incharge of somones idensity.
For example physco the movie , uses many film noir effects. It shows the intensity of scene and how some scenes are more intense than others. In the shower scene it keeps the lighting on the killer dark so it protrays darknest and mystery.
Overall this whole scene of the physco trailer shows an extreme view of the process of the murder, it gives a bright shot on what is happening to the female who is getting killed  , however the killer is left in the dark and not shown to the viewer and gives a sense mystery aswell and leaves the viewers wanting to know more as they are left in the dark about certain scenes

Twentieth Century Fox : The simpsons

One of the movies that Twentieth Century Fox  have produced is the Simpsons. The simpson movie was advertised in many ways , firstly as it was already a developed television programme, it already has audiences and alreay has reconition in society whch makes it much easier for the movie to b advertised. Also places like mc donalds advertise the movie aswell by selling the simpson chracters as toys in a happy meal as its audience for the movie is for children , therefore by advertising simpson characters in a meal eaten by children it can also promote the movie aswell.

Social networking sites can also advertise the movie aswell as word of mouth and movie critics in society whom watch the movie and reconmend it to other people .

Also the introduction of new characters within the film is a good way to advertise the movie , it shows that the movie isnt the same as the television episodes and that it is much different. Also the quality of the movie will be better and also have a longer story line.

1) . Media texts are profit motivated. Consider this in the light of TV news. What issues does this raise?

As television programmes and channels are put on air for mainly two purposes , entertainment and profit. By entertaining a viewer it can result into the viewer watching more televsion and their channel which increases the programme or channels rating and can overal give more profit . Also if a programme is viewed alot , it would be bought by the broadcasting channel which will also give out profit aswell , however, if a programme isnt doing as well as it should be , the programme wouldnt be bought and the motivation of profit would become a failure.

2) Which media companies do you think could be accused of having too much power and control in our society?

photographers are shown to have power and control in society , paparazii , are the main media companies which influences the decisions and chooses of people in soicety today. The paparazzi can influence the way a person can think and look and can instantly manipulate a persons mind by labeling a text in a certain way or taking a photograph of a person or object and change the captions and turn the image in to a sensationalist headline or story.
