Boy enjoys himself while working on a building site

here is a picture of me sitting in a tractor. The caption makes it look as if i am having fun as well as working. this could make the person viewing the photo believe that young people are actually going out and finding jobs and trying to work.

young boy messing around  slows down progress at work.

however this caption makes the viewer see the negative side and can make them believe that young people don't get much work done that is why they don't get employed.

different captions on the same photo can change what the meaning of the picture is about. for example the first picture shows me enjoying work where as the second photo shows me messing around and not getting much work done.

Right wing and left wing headlines

All news papers are either left wig or right wing. Left or right wing are like two different teams. its what people believe in. left wing are in favour of working class people, they favour social equality, they favour social changes/progress, they favour high taxes and state involvement, they favour peace and they are also inclusive. however the right wing are completely different to the left. the right wing favour, the wealthy and upper class people, survival of the fittest and capitalism, maintaining class status quo and they are favour in lowering taxes.

this is an example of a left wing newspaper article. firstly it shows its left wing because its calling millionaires 'scumbags', if you call somebody a scumbag you are expressing your feelings of disgust and dislike towards them. this shows it is left wing because they are in favour of the working class. secondly the story is about bankers trying to apologize for doing something wrong but the newspapers keep blaming them.

This is a good example of a right wing paper because firstly the telegraph is already a right wing paper. secondly right wing papers would talk about the upper class wealthy people more and this article is about the royal family making poeple feel sorry for them because there heritage is going.

Evaluation

How did you use 180 degree rule, rule of thirds & match on action?

i used the 180 degree rule quite well in the conversation however towards the end of the conversation i forgot and went on the wrong side. i had to use the mirror effect on iMovie to change this and try and make it stay in the 180 degree rule.

i used the rule of thirds very well in my video because every shot i done whether it was a mid shot, long shot or close up etc. i used the rule of thirds and used it well. This makes the shot look better because the eyes are a third of the way up the screen so the head of the person in the shot isnt right at the top.

What challenges did you face during production? What would you change if you were to film again?

The challenges i faced during production was trying to keep the film flowing without having any jump cuts.i found this rather challenging because i didn't properly plan and look at my storyboard when filming also because i think i rushed the filming so i didn't really think about the jump cuts. If i was to film again i would film the running scene in a more straight circuit so it will not be as hard to keep it flowing because i had to keep moving in different positions to film the actor running. also i would have more speech in there.

What challenges did you face during post-production? What would you change if you were to edit again?
The challenges i faced during post production was trying to put the shots together without any jump cuts, but because there was some i had to hide them with fades and shots of a clock to show time was going past. if i could edit again i would change the music while he was running to something less urban and maybe add some music towards the end or a sound effect when they haven't done the homework.

What are the overall strengths of your work? Why?
The overall strengths of my work was the editing because i was able to cover up most of my mistakes wile filming with the editing. so the editing was a strength because it made it look good. also i think another strength of my work could be the creativity because when he was running i didn't bore the viewer by just showing him running i done a shot of his legs running which showed he was running but they couldn't see where to also i thought at the end when he through the book at his friend was rather creative.

What are the overall weaknesses of your work? Why?
I think the overall weaknesses of my work would be my planning because i did not spend much time thinking of an idea i just thought of a quick one and stuck to it instead of taking time and thinking of a really good idea. also i didn't spend much time story boarding either i rushed the storyboard and went straight to filming. another weakness was filming because i had to many jump cuts, another weakness is that i failed to use the 180 degree rule i had to change that and make it work by using the mirror effect on imovie.

What overall improvements would you make to your work?

overall the improvements i would make is i would plan it properly and spend more time thinking of a good idea and then spend more time making a good story board so i know what needs to happen in the movie, i will use the 180 degree rule better, try filming without havin any jump cuts and edit the footage more.
