For part of our planning and research we are to start watching short films to analyse so we know conventions of short films and the genres they are in. This will help us in the future for our planning of our film as we will know the conventions that we need or could break to make our film individual.
Today we analysed the short film 'Smashed' using the technical terms of camera, lighting, setting, sound and props; we were looking to see how the technical codes encode meaning. We have done this to gain a greater understanding of the meanings within the film and how they are encoded to us, and also to make it easier to write the essay, particularly to write the essay in great detail. This was also a great help for any other essays we may get set that we have to analyse.
