We watched Cuffs using ClickView and worked from the OCR GCSE text book starting at page 5. Throughout the lesson I took notes of important information below:
- Arc Pan: Curved movement of the camera around a subject.
- Non-diegetic sound, not happening in the scene. (E.G. Music)
- Arc Pan can be used to show what is happening in a characters mind or what they are feeling, for example the camera arc pans around Jake to show his disorientation in a situation.
- Two Show: Two people in frame
- Focus Pull: Change Focus mid-shot
- Reaction Shot: shows characters reaction
- Motivated Edit: A cut that is motivated by the story/an event that has just happened
- Shot Reverse Shot: (Example: show conversation between two people)
- Hard Cut: A hard cut shows... (don't use the term 'switch')
- Audience Response Theory Framework Model:
- Bloomer and Cats: Escapism, Diversion, Entertainment, comedy.
- Personal Identity: We like to watch things that relate with our views.
- Personal Relationships: We like to build social bonds through sharing media and discussing things we've seen / are going to see.
- Surveillance: Fulfil the need for information, to know what's going on.
- Closeup: Allow the audience to understand a characters reactions, emotions, thoughts and feelings.
- The longer screen time a character has the more significant they are to the story.
Characters in Cuffs:
- Jake
- Ryan
- Simon
- Donna
- Lino
- CSI Vickers
- Jo Moffat
- Felix
- Jake and Simon, two gay characters, their relationship is hinted at when they make eye contact in episode 1.
Excellent class notes.
