Trip to La Bodega Studio

La Bodega Studio
Damajuana Cafebar
C/ Francos 18, Jerez de la Frontera

Today mi class of Media Studies and I we went to La Bodega Studio. We went to know to record a song and how it´s works.
Some companions they recorded a song and Richard, the music technician, showed us how to use the devices and the computer. It also he taught us the different rooms, where musicians recorded.
Each room is in a different way but everything has a meaning. Each room has walls and roof of a different material for sound.
I have a lot of fun but most importantly, I learned a lot of with Richard.

Target audience for fiction movie

What is the target audience?

A target audience es a particular group of consumers within the pre-determined target market, identified as the targets or ¨recipients¨ for a particular advertisement or message. Business which have a wide target market, will focus on a specific target audiences for certain messages they are trying to sent.


What kind of people usually watched films fiction?

Fiction movies are normally watched by adolescents and adults because fiction movies use speculative representations based in imaginary phenomenon such as aliens, alien planets and travels though time normally joined with technological elements: robots, spaceships, etc.

Childrens can watch fiction movies but generally the toic can be complicated to understand them. A fiction movie target audience is age between 12 to 40 more or less.


Examples:

About my film

The target audience for our film will be more or less from 12 years. We decided this age (12 years) because a small child may be frightened by a scene as there is a bit of terror and also because the small children no understand all right about this theme.

Location

Today I am going to do a research about the typical locations that I can find in fiction movies.

I am analyzing two movies:

   First, I am going to analyze ¨Interstellar¨   

Intterstellar is a 2004 epic science fiction directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Michael Caine. The film features a crew os astronauts who travel through a wormhole in search of a new home for humanity. Brothers Christpher and Jonathan Nolan wrote the screenplay, which has its origins in a script Jonathan developed in 2007. Christipher Nolan produced the film with his wife Emma Thomas through their production company Syncopy and with Lynda Obst though Lynda Obst Productions. Caltech theoretical physicist Kip Thorne, whose work inspired the film, was an executive producer and acted as scientific consultant. Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, and Legendary Pictures co-financed the film. Filming commenced in late 2013 in Alberta, Iceland and Los Angeles. The film utilized extensive practical and miniature effects, while Double Negative created additional digital effects. Interstellar premiered on October 26, 2014 in Los Angeles. In the United States, it was released on film stock, expanding to venues using digital projectors. The film was successful at the box office with a worlwide gross of $675 million, and received positive reviews from critis, who gave particular praise to the film´s science fiction themes, Hans Zimmer´s  musical score, visual effects, and the performance of McConaughey, Hathway, Chastain, and Mackenzie Foy. It received several awards and nominations. At the 87th Academy Awards the film won the Best Visual Effects award and was also nominated for the Best Original Score, Best Sound Mixing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Production Design.

   Finally I am going to analyze ¨Avatar¨   

Avatar is a 2009 American epic science fiction film directed, written, produced, and co-edited by James Cameron, and starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, and Sigourney Weaver. The film is set in the mid-22nd century, when humans are colonizing Pandora, a lush habitable moon of a gas giant in the Alpha Centuari star system, in order to mine the mineral unobtanium, a room-temperature superconductor. The expansion of the mining colony threatens the continued existence of a local tribe of Na´vi - a humanoid species indigenous to Pandora. The film´s title refers to z genetically engineered Na´vi body with the mind of a remotely located human that is used to interact with the natives of Pandora.Development of Avatar began in 1994, when Cameron an 80-page treatment for the film. Filming was supposed to take place after the completion of Cameron´s 1997 film Titanic, for a planned release in 1999, but according to Cameron, the necessary technology was not yet available to achieve his vision of the film. Work on the language of the film´s extraterrestrial beings began in 2005, and Cameron began developing the screenplay and fictional universe in early 2006. Avatar was officially budgeted at $237 million. Other estimates put the cost between $280 million and $310 million for production and at $150 million for promotion. The film made extensive use of new motion capture filming technoques, and was released for traditional viewing, 3D viewing , and for 4D experiences in select South Korean theaters. The stereoscopic filmmaking was touted as a breakthrough in cinema technology.

Avatar premiered in London on December 10, 2009, and was internationally released on December 16 and in the United States and Canada on December 18, to positive critical reviews, with critics highly praising its groundbreaking visual effects. During its theatrical run, the film broke several box office records and became the highest-grossing film of all time, as well as in the United States and Canada.

After analyzing these two movies my team and I have been working very hard in order to decide the places where we are going to record and afterward argue we finally take a decision.

The location is going to be in Puerto de Santa María in a port called Puerto Sherry.

My gruup and I have decided to make the film in Puerto Sherry because it seemed a good idea and people can be satisfied.

                                                                                                  I hope you like this idea!!!

Title of the film

My group and I we don´t have a clear idea about the title for the film, but more or less we have some ideas:
El Brujilla, A sea lost, The Avengers or A bit expensive loan.

After watching and researching some fiction movies, we dediced about the name; El Brujilla because so called boat where the movie will happen. Is there any better title than the name of the boat itself?

We decide that the font that we are going to use for our film is Impact and the colour will be white because it can see better in the background and it calls the attention of the audience. I hope it is a good idea.


These are some examples:(titles)

Mise-en-scene

I´m going to explain:

1. Settings & props.
2. Costume, hair & make up.
3. Facial expressions & body language.
4. Lighting & colour.
5. Positioning of characters/objects within the frame

1. Setting and props

• Settings and location play an important part in film-making and are not just ¨backgrounds¨.
• Sets are either built from scratch or a great deal of time is spend to find a setting which already exists.
• Settings can manipulate audience by building certain expectations an then taking different turn.

      2. Costume, hair & make up

• Costume, hair and make up act as an instant indicador to us of a character´s personality, status and job.
• It tells us immediately whether the film is set in the present and what societe/or culture it will centre around.
• Certain costumes can signify certains individuals.

      3. Facial expressions and body lenguage

• Facial expressions provide a clear indicator of how someone is feeling.
• If some is smilling broadly, we assume they are happy but we may get a different feeling if this is accompanied by scary music.

• Body language may also indicate how a character feels towards another character or may reflect the state of their relationship.

          

     4. Lighting & colour

• Lighting: This causes stark contrasts between the darker and lighter parts of the framed image, and for much of the shot to be hidden behind the shadows.

• Colour: 

     - Colour carries certain connotations which may add meaning to a scene.

     - Can give a scene particular look, feel or mood.

     - Can be used for dramatic effect.

      5. Positioning of characters/objects within the frame

• Positions within a frame can draw out attention to an important character/object.
• A film-maker can use positioning to indicate relationships between people.

Editing techniques

Cutting

• The process where one shot is replaced on screen immediately by the next.

Shot/reverse shot

• Cutting back and forth between people in a conversation.

Eyeline match

• Cutting to show what a character is looking at.

Graphic match

• A similar shape or colour linking two consecutive shots.

Action match

• Cutting to show another angle of the scene.

Jump cut

• A jump cut is a cut in film editing in which two similar shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly.

Crosscutting

• Crosscutting is an editing technique most often used in films to establish action occurring at the same time in two different locations. I a cross-cut, the camera will cut away from one action to another action.

Disolve

• A dissolve is a gradual transition from one image to another. A first image gradually dissolves and fades out and is replaced by another image which fades in over it. They are usually used in film to connothe the passage of time and change of mood.

Fade in/face out

• A fade in shot is where a new shot starts as black and gradually appears.
• A fade out is there a shot gradually gets darker until it disappears.
• They are usually used at the beginning or end of day in a film.

Fade in

Fade out

Superimposition

• The exposure of more than one image on the same film strip. Two distinct images appearing simultaneously with one superimposed upon the other.

Long/short take

• Long takes: takes of an unusually long length, i.e more than a few seconds. This is commonly used for dramatic and narrative effect in films.

• Short takes: takes that only last for a few seconds these are used usually at a faster pace for action or dramatic takes to build tension and excite the audience.

Slow motion

• Slow motion is an effect in film-making  whereby time appears to be slowed down as the video being played back is more slowly than it was made or recorded.

Fast paced/salow paced editing

• When the editing is fast paced the action will cut rapidly from shot to shot with each shot lasting only a few seconds. Slow paced editing will involve limited cutting from shot a shot.

Sound in media

What purpose does sound have in TV/Film?

The purpose of that sound has on television or films are to be entertaining the audience and give emotion to the scenes. There are all types of sounds that we have studied.

Ambient sound:

• The sound of everything going on around the person who is speaking.
• For example, the sound of waves and wind on a beach scene.

Voice-over sound

• Sound that is dubbed into any picture sequences.
• Documentaries and advertisements often use a lot of voice-over.

Synchronised sound

• The words are spoken to match the lip movements of the speaker.
• Often used in music videos or musical programs.

Dieguetic

• Sound is called diegetic when its source is visible or implied in the world of the film.
• For example, dialogue.

Non-diegetic

• Sound is said to be non-diegetic when its source is not present or implied in the narrative universe. Common instances are:

Music or score, used to augment emotions,

Actor´s commentary or narration any extra sound added for effect.

Dialogue

• Words spoken by actors.

Sound brigde

• Sound linking the end of one scene and the beginning to the next.

Sound mix
