Hotel Babylon

In Hotel Babylon the binary opposites of ethnicity is clearly shown as they have represented them with a group of foreign migrants and a group of British migrant cops. In the first shot we see one of the hotel works doing his business, it starts with a close up shot which then zooms to a mid shot to show his work place, straight away we are introduced to the British immigrant cops, they are dressed in matching classic suits with a stern voice that order the worker.

The scene then changes with a swift cut to the hotel seen and the main workers at the desk looking busy. This is now when the music starts up, and gets fast pace and dramatic, this is because the migrant workers have now entered the building, and we are zoomed to them out the entrance. All of them are wearing suits which present them to be in authority. The camera then uses the effect of a shot reverse shot to show how powerful affect of the entrance of the migrant workers have on the hotel worker.

They are first seen out the entrance of the hotel, last seen at the same entrance and again at the entrance of the elevator, this gives us a mise-en-scene that they are only in the presence of doorways, because they are in power and control over who gets in and out, which reinforces the fact that they are imprisoning the workers.

The migrant cops also have a front man, as he is the only one talking and gives the orders out, he has a stern voice that addresses the hotel worker and no expression which is shown by a close up shot worker and no expression which is shown by a close up of his face. Despite the fact that they are hardly seen in the clip, still shows their awareness in others as you see all the migrant works are running and hiding from them. When they do appear the camera always uses a mixture of long shots, then quickly cuts to a close up of the main cop to show his powermeant. They are binary opposites because the migrant workers are seen to be the bad guys and the migrant workers , good guys which is a character role reverse as they do not live up to the cultural highenamy as it actually makes us feel sorry for the migrant worker, we are bias to take their sides. We are then presented with a shallow focus shot of the missing migrant worker with his headphones in his ears to show that he is unaware of the presence of the cops in the background that lets us see this. Again the music picks up because the police are in view and taking away the migrant worker, which shows their power over them.

In the final scene we are brought to various cuts of different angles on the camera takes a long shot which follows the main cop around the room right o the exit of the hotel. A close up is then followed to show that they have won and are taking away the migrant. The sympathy is on Jackie now as a shot reverse show is used to show the conversation. The migrant cops leave, as the whole way they are shown in brightly lit settings with a high light camera placed on them.

From the first scene we see how the migrant workers are presented, as soon as the migrant workers enter the building a state of panic has been alerted as not only the music is fast pasting to show the workers, we are now introduced to the different culture groups of migrants in their workspace. It is stereotypical that we find them there; however this does show the reality of what we would expect. The music and brightly lit room gives us a sense of realism as everyone is rushing around. The camera is then moved to a high angle shot that is placed behind bars, it then gives us the perspective that they are in then moved to a high angle shot that is placed behind bars, it then gives us the perspective that they are in a jail and all impression and running towards the door. The camera then zooms to the door where it says staff only in capital letters to show the importance. The gangling of the keys are a non diegetic sound which then shows a sense of urgency. When the entire migrant workers are in the room the music calms down to a low bass to show that they are safe, yet still in danger. The room is dimly lit to show the distress of the way they are always living in the dark. One of the men helps a woman that has collapsed and the camera shows a series of close up to show the man, saving her life. This gives us a new positive view of how the migrant workers are underrated because they are not all stupid. Because the room is so silent the knock on the door creates an urgency which shocks them all. The camera deserves a fast zoom towards Jackie’s force to show her concerned expression.

The next scene shows the devastation of Jackie in the hotel lobby as a shallow focus is used, which highlight the loss of her worker, it shows that she is caring as she pleads with the man. The music now clams to a sadder instrument as a violin and bass are playing as she packs up the missing workers things and a back shot to the remanding workers to show their sadness of a friend. The action of Jackie is much slower as she is taking her time to take each object from the locker out into a black bad. The door closes with a loud bang, as the camera takes an extreme close up of Jackie closing the locker door, and the key turning, signifying that it is now locked forever.

We are now taken to the final scene which seems to be happy; the violin plays still, as we are now moved to a canteen scene. The camera has cleverly been placed a few meters away from the takes. We see different cultures of people sitting together, eating their dinner, and how happy some are, all talking and mixing in well, the camera tracks past them, group by group, till it gets to the last table where it finally stops.  Now we cut to a shot of the two people sitting down eating, however they do not talk, they are praying because they knew the migrant worker who had been captured. Then they start eating, and the shot ends with the two looking at each other in a sorrowful yet thankful way, as it cuts to an extreme close up of the girl’s eye.

sound clip

In this clip it shows the binary opposites of class, and how each one has been portrayed according to Levi Strauss’s theory. I have done this by using one well mannered, posh, educating girl opposed to a ghetto, gang, violent and poor boy. They are both in the same age, and in the same school.

The boy uses various lexis and idiolects that come from his background and this shows through his speech. He uses a lot of slang and colloquial language which does not follow a full sentence but pauses briefly because he is unsure of his words. The dialogue in its self is pretty short and one word answers, the boy controls the conversation by asking leading questions which are always answered by the girl which shows his power meant over her. On the other hand the dialogue in which the girl uses is completely different. She thinks before she speaks and her words are not as spontaneous, which she follows complex sentences.  This shows her well educated background and upbringing. She answers the boy and never asks him questions; you can also tell by the choice of lexis that the will have no understanding of what she is saying. She does not pause as much in her replies and does not make any snap decisions, she refers to asking her mother, which shows that she has to consult her before making any decisions and how her upbringing is more stick than the boys who is rather lose and vague. 

Their tone of voice also shows a clear difference in class. The girl uses long, elongated words which are spoken in a well-mannered, clear and posh tone which then tells us that she is higher up from him as she takes her time to speak and everything she says is crystal clear. On the other hand the boy has a loud, bubbly, squeaky tone of voice. He is louder in volume and accent. The boy uses a lot of slang which then makes his voice high pitched and annoying, it also shows how he comes from a different background as his words are shouted and not clear to us as to what he is saying. Also using abbreviations, shows his class is less than hers.

From the description of the scenery you can tell that the school is a run downed, public school which a mixture of good but mainly bad students would attend. The fact that the boy answers his phone in the middle of a conversation with the girl tells us that he has no manners and is very rude and persistent as he keeps bugging her to go to the party. He even try’s to make her skip her dinner plans with her parents forcing her to do something that she does not want to do. When the phone ring the girl warns him to put it away however his attitude is different and he does not seem to care and answered it casually.

Hustle - Genre

In the clip of the Hustle, a clear difference in the binary opposites of gender have been explored as they have presented Levi Strauss theory with two young male and a young female. They have both similar age however are presented in a different way.

The female is presented in the first shot to be walking up the stairs elegantly, calm and well mannered, we see this in the wide shot allowing us to tell that she is in an expensive looking posh shot. They have made this realistic by using high key lighting and making the shop really bright as it would normally be. Even though the camera does not include her in the main shots, we still see her looking at the expensive clothes in the background of the following shots, to show that she is important. The next shot we see the camera track into her sparkling diamond ring which is placed on her ring finger. This shot allows us to see that this character is rich, wealthy, married and dangerous as we also see her red nail varnish, before we have even met the character. The camera takes a several of close ups to show awareness that she is wearing a lot of makeup and very pretty and wearing a disguise.
The music also plays a more upbeat party song when the girl is presented to show her youth, gender of her being girliy. The camera does a full body close up which tracks up when we see that she has tried on the dress indicating her glamorous jazzy shoes, which will be used later on in the clip, an example of checkofs gun has been in place. The music carries on being uplifting and hectic to show her panic when she is looking for the lost ring. She flings herself everywhere, making a mess as she goes along. The camera also follows her maintaining the wide shot, to show surrounding of how small the ring is in comparison and that she will not find it. The young shop assistant follows the camera into the shot of just her, trying to help. We now see the women as vulnerably and in need of his offer.
When the women looks at the camera directly, addressing the audience, we become confused, as she is not worried about the ring but somewhat looks happy. This is called dramatic irony as we know something that the characters don’t. It is not until the final shot right at the end that we find out the real truth about the women. It shoes her natural identity as she was wearing a blonde wig to look like a stereotypical blonde; in fact she is a smart and intelligent brunette. We have been deceived as the audience how women are taken for fools, when they are actually more powerful and mischievous as she has even then fooled the assistant in the end.
The second character of the binary opposite to the women is the male shop assistant. Right in the first shot, the camera uses a shallow focus mid shot of him looking fed up and annoyed. This allows us to assume that he had been working all day and does not like his job; he seems to be fed up and annoyed. He is no help to the older client which we first see, who is an old lady. He knows that she does not have enough money and straight away loses interest. He does not coversate with her, or try to reply to whatever it is she is saying. This gives us the impression that he is very vain, rude and snobby, as he gets rid of her when he sees another, younger, richer looking women.  A smile spreads across his face as he goes over to greet her in a feminist way. The camera allows him to have mid shots of the two of them having a conversation; however he is not as important to have his own shot, while the camera allows the women to be in various single shots. Which shows that the women have more power over the man? She tends to be asking the questions where as he is blind with his eyes and follows this because he knows she has what he wants. When the women is trying on the dress he also tries to pay her with many compliments, and telling her how good she looks to pry her in to buying his clothes. Just as they go to pay the music starts up again to being all hectic and high, a variety of instruments are being used to create this effect. A close up of her hand showing that the ring is missing, this is where the panicking music starts in and the women goes round trying to find it, as the camera follows her journey, he follows as always. He does not seem to be socked by this or worried as he tries to place everything she took out of place back in order, running after her mess. It is only till the music stops to a pause, when he finally is the first person to speak and suggest something, which benefits him. When the women mentions the five thousands cash she will give for the missing ring, he suddenly becomes interest in finding it because the value of money is introduced, which again shows his selfishness.
Jazzy blues music begins to play as we are introduced to a new, male character. In its self we have another representation of gender being shown by the client and the shop assistant. The client enters the room, standing, straight well presented in a suit and looking attractive at a low angle to the worker who is on the ground looking for the ring. This shows how weak the assistant is and is again obeying the power of another client.
The camera tracks to the clients hand to show that he had the being and planted it on the floor which straight away creates a link with the previous female client. The assistant may not see this, which creates more irony as he is in the unknown. We see the client positioned at a high angle to the worker and the camera follows the client around, showing the taunting of the shop worker. He is greedy so he does not want to give the client any details and uses his authority to dismiss this. The client is a con artist as this shows when he gives the worker his card to call him and then leaves because he is in authority. The camera presents him with an extreme close up of his face as he begins to count down the seconds it takes for the worker to give in because he knows that he will. The side transition changes to the male client meeting the female in a nearby café.
In this final scene we see that the women is on the phone before the man enters the café, which is a casual scene for friends to meet up and have a chat in. the lighting is brightly lit, to make it more realistic and show that it is set during  the day time. We see that they are actually partners in crime and have fooled the shop assistant together completely by playing up to their stereotypes. However the girl has the most power over all the males in the clip, showing how women’s looks can deceive anyone and they use this to their advantages to get what they want.

Constructed images, binary opposites

Doctor Who gender 2009 g322

Doctor Who g322 2009 gender

Doctor Who g322 2009  gender

In this clip of Doctor Who it shows very clearly how two characters of the binary opposites represent gender in two distinctive ways. Martha shows one pole to the female side of the gender scale as the master, shows the male side of the other end of the pole, two completely different characters, portraying gender in two different ways. I am going to explain how each character portrays their role in gender differently to the other throughout this clip, there is a clear image being shown to us about each one.  Levis Strauss was the creator of binary opposites and his strategy has been used in most film and TV activity to show the clear difference between the two charters and how it shapes the scene.
The first charter we are introduced represent the male side to gender. At first sight we see that this character is well dressed wearing a classic black and white sophisticated suit, all nearly in place. He is well shaven, with a clean hair cut that tells us that he likes everything to be in order and is a neat freak. This character appears to be a strong successful male who is very powerful and knows this. He is also standing on a higher platform from everyone else to show that he is powerful and the other characters are literally below him. As we see Martha walk through the doors we notice that he begins to walk down the steps waving his hands at her as if she was a dog and calling her to him. This shows us that his character is quite cocky and does not show her any respect because they are binary characters. He goes not greet her or make an attempt of phatic talk but goes straight into ordering her about, because she is under his authority Martha obeys his command, which then shows that the male is in command as this is very stereotypical. He then orders her to kneel, again she obeys, but the man shows no politeness towards Martha who is a women and younger. The camera shows the male with more close up shots and allows his character to take up one whole frame alone to show that he is more important. The camera also appears to be looking up at him in a superior structure like form to highlight that Martha has no power what so ever. The male character also speaks as if he is full of himself or really sure that his plan is going to work, to make this even more obvious they have shown that he is in command over the majority of the characters on the set, as no one tells him what to do or interrupts him at all. There is a mid-shot used of him where he is looking at his watch, in this shot we can establish that he is married because he is wearing a wedding ring, and also looking at his watch which explains his richness and how wealthy this man appears compared to Martha who has nothing at all. He tries to make small funny jokes that he only finds amusing as we see him smiling and laughing to himself. We can tell that this character is a bit over them self and thinks more than he actually is. Also asking rhetorical questions to himself  which no one’s attempts to answer, the camera moves around the room to show the reaction of everyone else and how scared they are of him. The man thinks that he is going to kill Martha however she stops his process of speech which laugher.
We are now seeing the second opposition of gender which is a young lady called Martha. The very first scene she is introduced we see her walking in with two body guards coated in black armour souring her in each side. This automatically shows us that she is vulnerable and needs protecting because she is young and a female. Martha is wearing just a long black coat, which is the only piece of clothing we can see, her hair is nearly done up in a bun exposing her face for us to see that she is more vulnerable and an easy target. We see Martha searching the room as she walks towards her fate, as a desperate attempt for help. She looks to her left unsure and worried, almost scared as to what may happen, and then looking directly at the man, then to the right to a friendly face. It shows how Martha is being treated because she is a women and a younger one, she is scared and worried as to what would happen judging from her body language. When the man orders to give her the object she willingly takes it from her pocket and chucks it to him without any arguments, this shows that she does not want to cause any trouble and is obeying whatever he says because he has power over her. He then orders her to kneel down; again without arguments Martha does showing complete ownership of the alpha male. The camera also seems to show Martha in mid shots, showing the surrounding of the settings in the shot because she is not as important as him. Her expression always seems to be the same without change, just a blank  sheet throughout  the whole so his speech she does not speak a word or say anything to disturb his speech or goes against what he is saying. However just when he thinks things are going in his favour she begins to laugh. This completely changes the whole cenario where he is in power and she is not. Martha takes full control in this relationship. This time when he addresses her she responds with one word answers. Now it is Martha’s turn to be all cocky and know it all, she talks to the man as if he was a child, patronising him with her words. “A gun?” She is almost doubting him in her words trying to psychology make him couscous. Her jargon is certainly childish and what most females who think they are right would use, the man begins to doubt himself as Martha gains all control from this, the tables are now turned.  It’s now Martha’s turn to be in power, because she is a female she is more underestimated and people would not think she is clever enough to come up with a master plan and ultimately go behind the masters back and beat him at his own game. The man still does not show her with respect as he sits down on the floor as if he were listing to a children’s story, almost patronising her. Martha now appears to be a strong leader rather than a female obey commands. She breaks what we see to be her under control and actually stands up to the man proving that she is right and he is wrong. The gender opposites have now revered and we see Martha in more close up shots, speaking more because she is in power.  The man still doubts her even though she seems like she knows what she’s talking about, this is stereotypical because we never listen to what women are saying, however Martha is proven right and all the power from him has now been taken away and he cannot stop it. He tries to order everyone to stop talking however this time he has lost his authority to Martha.
In this clip we have seen how the representation of gender has changed halfway through and what we first expected has now changed to what we expect now. Martha represented the female side and showed up to the stereotypical vies, of women who don’t get listened to, believed in and obeying orders from men, which gave into the male gauze, however she then turned that around to order around the man and told him what he didn't know and actually spoke up for herself towards the end. This was something we did not expect and found that women could be as powerful or ever more than men as she defeated him in the end.

Hollywood reporter

This week i have found a few stories on a website called Hollywood industry news. it has a few navigation tools to the left side of the page which are film related in different film intraindustry and where they are around america.  It gives you a rough outline of where to find them around america and how popular america is in the film industry.

This page talks about the new and latest films. It doesn't talk about new releases but it talks about the background information, which people who are interested in film would like to read about.

this website is more about the interested audience rather than an audience who is interested in actual film and new releases.

Glossary (camera terms)

Extreme long shot:
This is a shot that can be taken form even a quarter of a mile away. it is used as a scene setting arranging which is also known as the establishing shot. it normally comes up at the start of a movie or new scene to show where the scene is taking place. It normally shows the exterior setting of the place in which the scene is shot. There will be hardly any detail as it just gives a general impression.

 Long Shot:
This shot is generally one where the image is life size. If you were to shoot a person then you got get their head and feet all in the shot. This shot normally focuses on the characters to show their physical appearance. 

Medium Shot:
This one is shot from just below the knees or the waist to the head of a person, and is used for dialogue scenes, or to show in more detail the action or appearance of a character  It is also normally used within two people and hardly alone. If there are three characters then this becomes a long shit. There are hardly any background details because it focuses on the characters  An over the should shot is also used a lot within this shot to show the conversation between two characters.

Close-Up:
This shows very little background, and concentrates mainly on their faces or some detail on an object.
It is used to show important and significant things within the shot. It would be words written on paper or someone expression or face. Normally is shot from the shoulder to the head or even just the head.
It is used to feel extra comfortable or extremely uncomfortable about a charterer and usually zooms in.

Extreme Close-Up:
This is like a close up but more extreme and in detail. None of the background would be showing, it magnify what a human eye would actually see in reality  It would show a mouth, eyes, or nose to show and extreme emotion or feeling. A very artificial shot, which is used for dramatic effect, the camera must be set up with a light shot, and needs to be dead still.

The Bird's-Eye view:
This is shot from directly above the scene and is a very unnatural and strange angel almost as if a bird is looking down. It can be unrecognisable at first, however this shot does attract the audience in a godlike position looking down towards the action. People can look really small and not important because of this.

Eye Level:
This is a neutral shot which is just positioned at eye level with a character so it is very realistic and it is just the character observing the scene, and seeing what they can see. it would be placed five or six feet from the ground.

Oblique/Canted Angle:
The camera is tilted in this shot to show that there is confusing or imbalance which is very popular in horror movies. They are used to show the point of view shot, when a character sees what they see, and if they are holding the camera then this is often used.

Low Angle:
This increases the height of an actor or object. It gives them more power and authority as you are looking up towards them. It gives confusion to the viewer, the background will tend to be the ceiling or the sky because there is a lack of detail, the subject would be dominate by the figure on the screen.

High Angle:
This is like a birds eye view however the camera is normally above the action using a crane to give an overview. this shot is used to make an object seem smaller and less significant. They normally become part of the setting and get sink into it. They become part of the wider picture.

Juxtaposition:
Where you have two subjects foced on extremply which are next to eachother, and contrast. One would be the exact opposite of the other to show how they both contrast and show how one can make the other even more effective.

Composition:
This is the arrangement of atrisitc parts in a shot or frame to form a vissual understanding. Objects have been placed in the shot.

Chekhov's Gun:
The process of having a seemingly insignifcant object shown that later becomes significant to the drama.

Movie news - Empire

EMPIRE

I have found an article this week about current films and new releases, also what is happening in the filming world.  here is a small part from the empire website where it shows the date of which each one was published on and a short description of what the article is about.

As you can see there are  four stories and each one is different. The first one is about the new release of the spider man film and how it will be back for a sequel. 

The second informs us about a new poster for a TV drama, which is not film however it relates.

The third is about a well known famous actress, who may play a certain role in a new film.

Last but not least is the fourth which is about TV again, which has a direct link to film as well. It talks about a new phenomenon which sounds interesting and appealing to us, which will then make us want to read this article.

Camera

 Different Camera Angels

 Extreme close up:

I have chosen an extreme close up in this picture because it shows importance, and a certain element that I want to show that is important. This is a picture of an exit sign, and I have chosen a slightly canted angle to show the way in which the arrow is point to side with the picture, and to tell the audience.

Low Shot:

This shows clearly that the camera is placed towards the bottom of the ground looking up towards the subject. I have done this because the subject has authority and importance over the rest. They have the power because the subject is wiser and older, which is why I have chosen this shot.

 Mid shot:

This picture shows two subjects from their head to just their waist. I have chosen this shot because the two subjects are meant to be the centre of attention showing a few more key emotions. Such as the first subjects hand, indicated that he is explaining something or laughing, which shows emotion and the second subject is listening. We can tell this by the expression on both their faces.

High shot:

I have used this high shot to show the hight of someone and how it can look from their point of view. This shot was taken from the subjects chest and downwards. It shows how small the ground looks compared to what they see because they are so higher up. This can be used to also show isolation as the person could be looking down to the ground a lot.

Establishing shot:
This is a shot that is taken to show the surrounding of a setting or place. it normally doesn't have any people in it because it is the setting of the scene. However i have chosen to use a subject to be sitting in the middle of the empty chairs alone to show isolation, loneliness, and how big a new school can make someone feel to them.



Long shot:

In a long shot, you would normally see the whole persons body and the setting that the photo is taken in. In this shot I have done just that, by using my subject to stand in the middle of the school corridors. this shows the full height of the subject and how small they can feel. Like with the establishing shot, this is also linked with the feel of loneliness and isolation in somewhere so big and empty. 





Close up:

I have used a close up of not a subject but an object, this is because with an object the whole of the object would be captured in the picture instead of part like you would with a subject. This photograph shows a close up of a fallen cup out of a dying hand and the effect that it has fallen out and is rolling around the floor, because this cup may have had been in another scene and now you see that it is significant because it has caused the person to die.



Worms-eye View:

this is also known as an extreme low shot because the camera is angled from bellow the subjects. This shot here shows this, as you can see all four of the subjects head peeping over the camera to give the effect that the subjects are looking at something that we can not see. I have used this shot here because I want to give the effect that the subjects have all seen something that is shocking, yet which reacts suspense because we have not seen it yet, it is a great shot that is used to create tension of the unknown.

Independent Film Industry

What is it?

An independent film is a film production that is professional resulting with a feature film which has been produced completely outside the major film studio. It is also distributed by independent entertainment companies. They are normally distinguishable by the content, style and the way in which they are produced. They are normally made with a low budget; generally only release limited amounts of product. But also have major marketing campaigns and will release world wild.

the link below describes what has happened to the film industry and how it has grown significantly in the last 20 years.
