LR: film industry assessment

1) MARK: 7/15 GRADE:D

WWW: Q3 shows a strong opinion and real agreement with the debate. This demonstrates the potential you have in media!

EBI: Lacking key knowledge- film regulation. This is the inevitable consequence of not completing the work we set. Lack of depth/ detail and specific reference to the CSP (Chicken). You needed a lot more for Q3 in particular... you didn't address the other side of the debate (funding, commercial success).

2)Q1: 1/2
Q2: 2/4
Q3: 4/9

3)Film festival circuit.

4)It is not important for the BFI to focus on social-realist films as they are low budget; meaning that they are wasting their money on small films which probably won't get much recognition. They should be focusing on the big Hollywood films which will draw in a much bigger audience therefore, they won't be wasting their money.

5) It is important that the BFI to make social-realist films as they contain topics that are considered as sensitive therefore, they are unspoken of. It shows people the negative lives that some people live. Usually they focus on what is going on in someone's life and the way they live with a certain situation. Predominantly, all of the social-realism films include a message to the audience in order to create a sense of social awareness.

Deutschland 83 close textual analysis

SCENE 1: garden/ BBQ scenes (one in East, one in West): Technical codes: Mise-en-scene: Digetic music (East) Costume (soldier uniform/ old fashioned clothing)- East Bigger house- West = shows wealth. Costume~ emphasises East vs West- creates 80s nostalgia; younger generation= casual, dont want to conform to the old, traditional ways. Formal, hierachical- West- most people are in uniform. Representation: East/ West/ Family/ Gender: Family in East= warm, valued, welcoming, poor but happy- Tracking/ steady cam shot follows Martin when he greets everyone.

Gender- Martin places his hat on Anettes head= he is dominant in the relationship. "That Reagan... danger to mankind"- East vs West- coffee (prop)= wealth within the West.

Billie Jean- Michael Jackson

1)The budget for Billie Jean was budgeted at $50,000. This differed to his other videos as their budgets were much higher. For example: Thriller's budget was $1million. 2)MTV rejected the video as it 'didn't fit their middle America audience'. 3)Billie Jean reflects the genre characteristics of pop music video. It contains lip-syncing, performance interwoven with narrative, dance routines and high fashion costume. 4)The visuals reflect the lyrics in the video as ultimately, the video is based on fan girls who claim that he/ his brothers are the parents of their babies.
