A bird's-eye view is an elevated perspective looking down like a bird would see. It can be an aerial photo or drawing. In filmmaking, different shot types convey information: long shots show the full figure and surroundings; medium shots show from the waist up; close-ups focus on faces. Crane and dolly shots move the camera alongside action. High and low angles make the subject seem smaller or larger respectively. Oblique angles suggest instability while eye-level shots put the viewer at a character's perspective.Sa pexperts prospect_webinar_epm_add_in_v1

Chris Rock addressed the lack of diversity at the Oscars head-on in his monologue. He called out the racism in Hollywood, joking that the ceremony was the "White People's Choice Awards." While some of his jokes attempted to ease tensions, comments about black people in the 1960s being too busy "being raped and lynched to care about who won Best Cinematographer" made the problems seem unimportant. The show was entertaining, with unexpected wins like Spotlight for Best Picture and Mad Max: Fury Road sweeping the technical awards. However, it also reflected the status quo with predictable winners like Leonardo DiCaprio for Best Actor.In what ways does your media product use develop or challenge forms and conve...

Intro to Directing
Directing
Considered by many as the author or auteur of a film. Auteur originated by French film critics Andre Baz鱈n, and Cahiers du cinema (French New Wave Roehmer, Godard, Truffaut, Rivette, Chabrol).
Andrew Sarris and Auteur Theory
Village Voice film critic
Auteur applies to directors only; limits of theory
"At the moment, my list of auteurs油runs something like this through the first twenty: 油Ophuls, Renoir, Mizoguchi, Hitchcock, Chaplin, Ford, Welles, Dreyer, Rossellini, Murnau, Griffith, Sternberg, Eisenstein, Von Stroheim, Bu単uel, Bresson, Hawks, Lang, Flaherty, Vigo.
Three Criteria for Auteur
"The three premises of the油auteur油theory may be visualized as three concentric circles: 油the outer circle as technique; the middle circle, personal style; and the inner circle, interior meaning."
Role of director
Oversees or (as the French and Greta Gerwig would have it) realizes the screenplay through shots, performances, editing and sound.
Determines the style, tone, emphasis of the film through shots, performances, editing and sound.
Casts and directs actors
Directs creative crew in production (shooting of the film), primarily cinematographer, production designer and sound. In post-production (editing, visual effects and sound design), directs those crew people.
Decides when to cut(end a take, or version of a shot) and move on (stop doing takes of a shot or setup, and do a new one). Or When to Stop.
NOT Role of director
Write dialogue, characters, setting or plot. If they do, they get writing credit.
Some will shoot/operate camera (Spielberg, Soderbergh, Liman, Ridley Scott, Von Trier). Very rarely credited.
Oversee business, financial or staffing aspects of the film. If they do, they get producing credit.
Oversee organizational aspects of the film. In the theatre, the director should not also be the stage manager. The director should not be the assistant director or production manager.
Most do not have final cut or final say on which edited version of the film is released.
Directing is an entry-level Position
Pick up a camera. Shoot something. No matter how small, no matter how cheesy, no matter whether your friends and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as director. Now you're a director. Everything after that you're just negotiating your budget and your fee.
--James Cameron

Music seems to be a large effect to the atmosphere, the non-diegetic music of a sort of music box makes the theme intense.

- 9. CODES AND CONVENTIONS Dark and gloomy colours present a super-natural atmosphere. Though the characters are not vampire or were-wolves, or have powers there is something not quite right. The mid shots allow the audience to feel comfortable and relaxed to take in the comedy aspects. Though there are all close up towards the character Hand to show the size of him. Reaction shots are also involving comedy.
