This essay is a deconstruction of the film Professor Oppressor. My role on this module was Writer and Director of Photography. Professor Oppressor is about a Supervillan who has recently moved to Winchester and is waiting for the newspaper to see if his evil bidding has made the news. We used my personal Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera for the shoot, I chose the High Quality ProRes to shoot in as it provides the right amount of detail and is a small file than shooting in RAW. The major problem with the Black Magic is it has a Micro 4/3 cropped sensor, meaning we get a tighter image we do on a full frame. The other equipment consist of a a 50mm prime lens, a 20mm prime lens, a dolly, a tripod and a shoulder mount. Our first shot is …show more content…
This was shot using a 50mm lens, which unfortunately the focus is on his sideburn. If I were to do it again I would: film the ear in focus. This was filmed using my 20mm lens set onto infinity focus to make everything in shot focus, I also opened the shutter angle to 360 degrees to ensure everything is in focus. We have a light positioned behind the camera pointed Professor Oppressor filling in the details on the top of his coat and face. The is evident by the slight rolling shutter the light has cause to the camera. The problem with the interior to exterior transition shot doesn’t work entirely. I like the composition of the close up and the jerking movements of the handheld and how the shot progresses. But The main problem is the cropped sensor being too when turning corners. The focus is off in most points which could have been rectified with marking the focus points on the lens and having someone focus pulling on cues to make sure the desired subjects are in focus at each point. The jacket is overexposed in the outside shots however, with the overexposed railing in the second shot this can be intemperated as a stylistic choice. The point of this shot is to see Prof’s frustration and then to lead up to the confrontation between Prof and
The lighting for this picture was absolutely perfect because it was getting dark and in my opinion darkness defines the projects. The darkness represents the mystery of fear within the community since the projects is known for drugs and violence. The people living within the community possibly fear the fact that their children have to grow up in that specific environment. Darkness is substantial and compelling. The second images shows the different side within Bedford Stuyvesant that many do not get to see through media. I specifically took this picture because it is the complete opposite of the first image. The image shows beautiful brownstone houses of various colors. These bright cool colors represent warmth within the community. These colors say the neighborhood is not all about crime and violence but beauty within. This image gives a whole new perspective to people who have never visited within Bedford Stuyvesant and has only seen what the media portrays. The colors of the houses give life and a sense of personality to the neighborhood. Bedford Stuyvesant is truly one of the most beautiful neighborhoods I have ever
The Polanski version of the video consists of a huge variation in the chosen lighting. There is the bright, colourful, interior of the banquet and then are external shots of the castle that are very dark. This contrast is expected in this version of the video for it is designed to be a feature film, so there are enhancements to
When I watching this movie, I notice that I felt less separation from the movie. Initially I could not find a reason for that but, soon after I realize that the camera is not static but it wobbling slightly. In most movie, camera does not move and it creates the frame. In the other hand, this movie’s handheld camera type of camera works imitate the human eyesight feeling and make people feels like to experience the event in a movie as a one of the character. In this perspective, do not explain too much about the detail is emphasizing this experience. Consider these things, I really excited and enjoyed couple of scene which are the running through battle field and engaging to the baby. In the every day world, both scene is pretty rare to experience. For the battle field scene, majority of the people have avoiding to be in there so that is rare. The engaging to the baby experience is quite normal event for most people and of course it is grate experience but, in this movie setting, baby is extremely rare and seeing baby is truly miracle event. To emphasize and provide this miracle event, this camera work is perfect to apply.

White privilege is a concept that many people are unfamiliar with, but not because they do not benefit from it. In the paper “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” by Peggy McIntosh argues that white people have an advantage over those of other races, though most are completely unaware of it or simply take it for granted. Her recognition of white privilege came from the concept of male privilege. She says that she looked at that concept and realized there was certainly something similar to it in regards to race (McIntosh, 1988, 11). This paper has great importance to the function of society. Because many white people do not recognize their unfair and disproportionate advantage in society, racial tensions can rise even more because there is a major wall blocking people from fixing the current issues.

In the world today, racism and discrimination is one of the major issues being faced with. Racism has existed throughout the world for centuries and has been the primary reasons for wars, conflicts, and other human calamities all over the planet. It has been a part of America since the European colonization of North America beginning in the 17th century. Many people are not aware of how much racism still exist in our schools, workforces, and anywhere else that social lives are occurring. It started from slavery in America to caste partiality in India, down to the Holocaust in Europe during World War II.
... The use of ‘undercrank’ shots creates a haunting sense of. simultaneous animation and suspension. The equipment used to shoot the film is very similar to what was used in Godard’s ‘A Bout de Souffle’, such as lightweight handheld cameras, and portable. lighting.
While both race and gender have very real societal and, in some instances, personal consequences which enables both to be categorized as real neither race nor gender is more real than the other. Both of them faced and still face overt and covert discrimination, and both of them are built upon a mountain of logical fallacies that are able to ultimately be reduced down to societal standards and obligations forced upon them by the dominant group. Since they are also both deeply embedded in our culture they have become integrated into our sense of who we, as humans, are and in our perceptions of other people and situations.
A victim advocate is someone who helps people who are victims of a crime or sexual abuse. They are usually only referred to as victim advocates, however they can be called victim coordinators, victim specialists, or victim service providers.
The scene starts with a medium close-up of Richie, who is positioned in the center of the fame and looks directly into the camera –which also doubles as the bathroom window- while wearing his signature headband and sunglasses. The medium close-up leads the viewer to focus on Richie’s face during the actions that are to fallow, but it also allows for a sense of place to be established. The scene starts off poorly lit and with a s...
generate moods, and have great psychological affect. This is just as true for the very first series of shots for the film, and perhaps more important since these first shots will give the audience the initial feeling of the film, and set a tone for the picture. The first shot is highly dramatic in its lighting method, and the audience is drawn in immediately to one single detail. A man begins revealing the details of a tragic incident that befell his daughter. We don’t see who he is talking to. There is a spotlight directly above the man, and this is pretty much 95% of the light used. This really lights up the top of his head, which is bald, but there is no hot spot or reflective element which is good because reflection here would be aesthetically displeasing. The lighting causes dark areas under the man’s eyes, which emphasize the passion and eventually the hatred of what he is talking about. The scene is lit so that the background is completely black, so that the only thing we can see is the man. Even though this is logically unrealistic, the stylistic decision to light in this manner is warranted, since this or any other good film draws heavily upon our expectations and imagination to convey a message or meaning. We as audience accept the unrealistic elements, if they assist in making the story ...
Rabbit Proof Fence Essay The Rabbit Proof Fence is an amazing film directed by Phillip Noyce. The scenes I will be discussing is the first time we see A.O. Neville in his office and the scene when the children are taken away by Constable Riggs. Another scene I will be doing when A.O. Neville is explaining what he wants to do to the half castes in the dark room. The shot types used are close-ups, extreme long shots, vertical angle shot, and many more.
Assigning blame has become an increasingly difficult and complex concept to understand, especially in our legal court system. I associate blame with being held responsible for the consequences of one’s intentional actions. In regards to sexual assault cases, I think the blame should not be placed on the victims, but rather on the perpetrators. Victim blaming justifies the perpetrator’s actions, discourages sexual assault reportings, and can have psychological effects on the victim.
Kevin's style is to get close to the scene and then capture it, which immersing the viewers in the natural scene. He used natural lights wisely to make silhouette to simplify or to record details. In addition to catch action-packed shots, Kevin was also able to choose the right angles to emphasis on the objects he wanted. Kevin made limited adjustments to his photos and I really like that. Through his work, the viewers get to explore the true situation in all chaos and abhorrence. Those were not beautiful scenes, yet reflected the real problems in Africa and raised awareness globally because he was able to deliver the raw message and feelings embedded to his audiences
