Film noir 

12/11/2024


Film noir  is a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylized Hollywood crime dramas, particularly those that emphasize cynical attitudes and motivations. The 1940s and 1950s are generally regarded as the "classic period" of American film noir. Film noir of this era is associated with a low-keyblack-and-white visual style that has roots in German Expressionist cinematography. Many of the prototypical stories and attitudes expressed in classic noir derive from the hardboiled school of crime fiction that emerged in the United States during the Great Depression, known as noir fiction.


The aesthetics of film noir were influenced by German Expressionism, an artistic movement of the 1910s and 1920s that involved theater, music, photography, painting, sculpture and architecture, as well as cinema.

The music in the movie "Mein Herr, Ballon?" (from "The Third Man," 1949) is the Third Man Theme, an iconic instrumental piece composed by Anton Karas for the filmIt is played on the zither and is profoundly evocative of place and time.

The scene is set along a dark abandoned street, Martins and a British officer are lurking in the shadows of a building, when an ancient balloon-man, with enough balloons he appears capable of levitating, notices them, and not realizing the suspense afoot, insists that they buy a balloon:  "Mein herr, balloon...balloon...balloon"--it's like a scene straight out of an Antonioni flick, crazy and hilarious at once,. teetering (as does the film) precariously between farce and tragedy.

Suspense scenario

15/11/2024



Suspense in films

19/11/2024

Suspense is a feeling of anxiety that accompanies uncertainty about the outcome of the scene.


Audience expectation

Creating suspense involves manipulating audience knowledge and expectations.


Character identification

If your audience doesn't care about the character, the won't feel suspense.

The techniques to encourage your audience to care about your character is to create a connection with an audience by using emotions - such as fear, love, hate, injustice or embarrassment.


Handheld camera movement creates a sense of realism and suspense.


Shot size

Close up - increases audience's anxiety by putting a character closer to the unseen threat.

Extreme close up - to emphasise small details like a screaming mouth, eyes wide in terror, a knife in someone's hand, a ticking clock.


Point of view shots are another powerful way to create suspense, allowing the audience to see through the eyes of a character.


Camera angle

Shooting characters from a high camera angle may make them look particularly vulnerable, increase audience identification and suspense.

Low angle shots can be used to make your opponent or location to seem ominous.


Parallel editing is an editing technique video editors use to jump between two different scenes. The sequence jumps between scenes happening at the same time. Parallel editing can increase the feeling of suspense and increase the pacing of a scene.

Editing technique

To help blend the scenes into a coherent whole, you’ll also want to cut along similar movements and themes. Finding similar movements can create an additive effect, blending the scenes. Cutting on contrasting themes can often add to the tension.

bibliography: Zunitch, P. (2022). What is parallel editing? [online] Videomaker. Available at: https://www.videomaker.com/how-to/editing/editing-technique/what-is-parallel-editing/.

Slow motion is an excellent way to increase tension by drawing out a scene. 


Diegetic sound 

Diegetic sound is any sound that originates from the world of a film. A very simple way to think about diegetic sound is to think of it as that could make sound in the world of a film. If the characters can hear it, it's diegetic. The sound doesn't have to be featured on-screen. In fact, many diegetic sounds are not shown on-screen. Say there’s an emergency and an ambulance is called. The corresponding siren sound would be diegetic, even if it’s not shown on screen. This is because it’s a natural sound of the film world.

Examples of Diegetic Sounds:
-Dialogue — even internal monologue is considered diegetic sound because it's the voice inside the character's head

-Music — piano playing at a restaurant, music in an elevator, a street performer banging drums

-Sound effects — explosions, rain drops, car engines



bibliography: BlauweBarry (2008). Play it, SamYouTube. Available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vThuwa5RZU [Accessed 6 Mar. 2019].

This scene is also a great example of how to use diegetic music. The song is significant for two reasons; the first is that it implies a connection between Ilsa and Rick (Humphrey Bogart). The only reason Rick comes to Ilsa is because the song is playing and he scolds Sam for playing it because of its obvious emotional meaning.

The second is in the lyrics, as they provide a subtext about their relationship.

‌The woman in this horror film is home alone. Bryan Bertino used close up on her to create more tension and show her emotions. The sound of loud knocking on the door makes the audience feel worried and in fear because they know that the woman didn't invite anyone. Bryan Bertino is also using extreme close up on how she is closing the door and make sure that it is closed and she is safe.

What does ISO refer to? 

-ISO is simply a camera setting that will brighten or darken a photo. As you increase your ISO number, your photos will grow progressively brighter. For that reason, ISO can help you capture images in darker environments, or be more flexible about your aperture and shutter speed settings.

bibliography: Nasim Mansurov (2022). What is ISO? Understanding ISO for Beginners - Photography Life. [online] Photographylife.com. Available at: https://photographylife.com/what-is-iso-in-photography.




What is Shutter Speed?

-Shutter speed controls how long the shutter stays open.

 

-Faster shutter speeds (like 1/1000s) let in less light, capturing a brief moment in time. They’re excellent for freezing fast-moving scenes – think of a bird in mid-flight or a splash of water. Another example – fast shutter speeds are best for sports photography.

-Slower shutter speeds (like 1s) allow more light in, giving moving objects that dreamy, blurred appearance. It’s perfect for showcasing motion, like flowing water or bustling city streets at night.
Slower shutter speeds can blur motion creatively.

What does Frame Rate mean?

Think of watching a flipbook. Each page is an individual image, but when you flip through them rapidly, you see a moving picture. That’s how videos work, and frame rate is essentially the “flipping speed.”

So, frame rate, often measured in frames per second (fps), tells us how many individual images (or frames) are displayed in one second of video.

It’s crucial in determining how smooth or choppy a video will appear.

-Higher frame rates (like 60fps) deliver smoother videos. It’s why sports broadcasts often use them

-Lower frame rates (like 24fps) give a more cinematic, slightly choppier look. It’s no coincidence that most movies are shot at this frame rate – it feels more “film-like.”

How do you switch the camera between Auto Focus and Manual Focus?
-Slide the buttons, if you slide the button to MF for manual focus, this allows you to focus by twisting the focus ring on the end of the lens. If you slide the button to AF for auto focus, this will allow you for the camera automatically adjust the focus of the lens to ensure sharp images.


While in Auto Focus mode, what do you gently press to make the camera automatically focus the image?
-The shutter button - gently half press it so the camera will take a few seconds to adjust the focus of the lens itself.



What does White Balance mean?
White balance balances the color temperature in your image. How does it do this? It adds the opposite color to the image in an attempt to bring the color temperature back to neutral. Instead of whites appearing blue or orange, they should appear white after correctly white balancing an image. White balance in digital photography means adjusting colors so that the image looks more natural.

How to Change White Balance in Your Camera

White balance can be changed very easily on most cameras. On most DSLR and mirrorless cameras, there should be a button that allows you to quickly change between different white balance presets. On Nikon DSLRs, for example, you will often find a “WB” button – holding that button and moving the rear dial will allow you to switch between different white balance settings, such as “Incandescent”, “Fluorescent”, “Direct Sunlight”, etc. If you don’t have a white balance button, or you prefer to select white balance through your camera menu, you can often find that setting in the general “Shooting” menu. For example, if you have an entry-level Nikon DSLR, simply navigate to the “Shooting Menu” and scroll down until you get to “White Balance”. Once there, you will be presented with a number of different presets, as shown below:


Camera White Balance Presets

Most current digital cameras have white balance presets that are set to a certain Kelvin number by the manufacturer. These presets also vary depending on the manufacturer and camera model. Here is the list of common presets for most Nikon DSLR and mirrorless cameras:

  • Auto (A) – Default WB setting and what I use all the time when I shoot RAW. The camera automatically guesses the WB depending on ambient light and use of flash. Some cameras have more than one auto setting for different environments / lighting situations.
  • Incandenscent (Light Bulb) – Use it strictly under tungsten light bulbs or the image will look very blue.
  • Fluorescent (Glowing Tube) – Use if photos look too green or when under fluorescent lights. Since there are many different types of fluorescent bulbs, some cameras provide several different selections for this setting.
  • Direct Sunlight (Sun) – Used when shooting outdoors with the sun shining on the subject.
  • Flash (Lightning Bolt) – Used when utilizing on-camera flash.
  • Cloudy (Cloud) – Used in cloudy days or in shades. Will yield warmer images than sunlight.
  • Shade (House with a Shadow) – Warmer than cloudy, adding orange colors to the photograph. Good for sunsets and shades.
  • Choose Color Temperature (K) – Lets you manually change the Kelvin value (typically from 2,500 to 10,000).
  • Preset (PRE) – Used for color matching with a white balance card.

How to Change White Balance in Post-Processing Software

If you don’t want to worry about changing the white balance in your camera for different situations, as long as you are shooting RAW, you can always adjust the white balance of your images with post-processing software such as Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom. This is sometimes referred to as “color correction”. In your software you’ll probably see a panel that looks something like this:

What is depth of field?
Depth of field is the distance between the closest and farthest objects in a photo that appears acceptably sharp. Now your camera can only focus sharply at one point. But the transition from sharp to unsharp is gradual, and the term ‘acceptably sharp’ is a loose one! Without getting too technical, how you will be viewing the image, and at what size you will be looking at it are factors that contribute to how acceptably sharp an image is. It also depends on how good your vision is!

Aperture

Aperture is the opening in your lens that lets light pass through to the sensor. 

Large apertures, which correlate to small f-stop numbers, produce a very shallow depth of field. On the other hand, small apertures, or large f-stop numbers, produce images with a large depth of field.

Mis-en-Scene -  a French term meaning what is put into a scene or frame.
-Visual information in front of the camera. 
-Communicates essential information to the audience.

Mis-en-Scene in film refers to everything that happens in front of the camera:
1) Settings and props which establish time, place, and social status of characters.  The physical environment where the action takes place.

2) Costumes, hair, and makeup which reveal character traits and time period. The clothing and makeup worn by the character.

3) Performance - facial expressions and body language which clearly convey a character's emotions and thoughts.

Green screen practice

22/11/2024



In this Adobe After Effects experiment I tried to remove green screen and add another background.  I selected the cat layer and added a Keylight effect, then I dragged the effect onto the cat. After this, I used eyedropper to select the green of the background as a screen colour and then I clicked on Comp Button so the cat is in front of the woods picture now.



I also moved the handle on the work area, so it matches the length of the movie.

Media Key Concepts
27/11/2024

What is representation?
Representation is the way something or someone is portrayed.  The process of representation happens to all people, places and issues we see in every piece of media.  Representation in the media can reinforce stereotypes and prejudice, spread misinformation and cause damage or hurt someone.

Stereotypes

Representations often use stereotypes – oversimplified ideas about what a person, place or thing is like. You are certain to recognise some of the stereotypes we see in the media.


bibliography: BBC Bitesize (2024). What is representation? - BBC Bitesize. [online] BBC Bitesize. Available at: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z8rq7yc/articles/zjv8kty#zs96xbk [Accessed 27 Nov. 2024].


Denotation
Denotation refers to the literal, explicit meaning of a sign or symbol, representing its primary function without any emotional or cultural associations. In media studies, denotation plays a crucial role in how audience perceive and interpret visual and auditory signs within film and other media. 
In film, denotation can involve specific elements like objects, actions, or dialogue that are presented on screen without ambiguity.

bibliography: Fiveable.me. (2024). Denotation - (Film and Media Theory) - Vocab, Definition, Explanations | Fiveable. [online] Available at: https://library.fiveable.me/key-terms/film-and-media-theory/denotation [Accessed 27 Nov. 2024].


Connotation
A connotation is a non-literal framing of a term that intends to add an association beyond its literal meaning. Connotations can have negative, neutral or positive implications on a term. Take happiness as the neutral for example: the negative connotation of happiness could be mania and the positive connotation could be vibrancy.

Types of connotation:
-Negative – when a word or symbol has a non-literal association that we regard as bad.

-Neutral – when a word or symbol has a non-literal association that we don’t regard as good or bad.

-Positive – when a word or symbol has a non-literal association that we regard as good.

Connotation meaning in literature and film

Connotation has an important meaning in literature in film; which is to suggest figuratism to the audience. Simply, connotation asks us to see the symbolic meaning of objects and words. 

bibliography: Heckmann, C. (2020). What is Connotation? Definition & Examples in Literature & Film. [online] StudioBinder. Available at: https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/what-is-connotation-definition-examples/.



Narrative
Narrative is a story or someone explaining a story.  It isn’t just TV shows and films that use images to tell stories – a still image can create a narrative too, by setting up a scenario that we recognise or one that makes us wonder what has happened or is about to happen. Adverts, film posters and book covers are all examples of media texts that use still images to help create a narrative.

bibliography: BBC Bitesize. (n.d.). What is Narrative? [online] Available at: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z8rq7yc/articles/z3bwdp3#z7hcr2p.



Genre
Genre is a French word meaning "sort" or "type". Genre helps us categorise media texts in a certain way. An example of different kind of movies: horror, comedy, action, adventure, crime, drama, documentary.

bibliography: BBC Bitesize (2024). What is Genre? - BBC Bitesize. [online] BBC Bitesize. Available at: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z8rq7yc/articles/zv73vwx#z32b3j6 [Accessed 27 Nov. 2024].

Adobe Audition practice soundscape
03/12/2024









In this experiment I used Razor to cut the part of the sound I don't need and Ripple Delete Clips to delete it. In outputs/inputs I used Volume to change the sound's volume. I also changed the volume of the music, so you can hear all of them better. And to change the volume I clicked on the yellow line and moved up - louder, move down - quieter. I also tried to move the sounds for the different time, so they are not going to be played at the same time. Overall, I like the way I did it and it sounds quite nice.





Sound
04/12/2024

What is Diegetic and non-diegetic sound?


Diegetic Sound
Diegetic sound is sound that can be heard by characters in a film or TV show. The word diegetic comes from “diegesis,” or a style of storytelling based on a character’s interior narration.
Whether it’s characters dancing to a song at a wedding or witnessing the metal clanging of an offscreen car crash, if the sound is created by and fits within the narrative world of a film or TV show, it’s diegetic.

Examples of diegetic sound from film and TV

The main types of diegetic sound are:

Dialogue: When two characters speak out loud to each other, the sound source is in-film. Dialogue usually conveys something about character personalities and how they interact with one another.

Music that characters can hear: This may be music that is made in the film and heard by the characters, like a band performing or a violinist playing their instrument; or it could be a karaoke scene—such as when bride-to-be Kimmy Wallace awkwardly yet charmingly sings “I Just Don’t Know What to Do With Myself” in “My Best Friend’s Wedding.”

Object sounds: Object sounds that happen in a scene, such as a horse clopping down the street during Big and Carrie’s buggy ride through Central Park in “Sex and the City,” are diegetic.

Non-Diegetic Sound - Non-diegetic sound is any sound that does not come from within the film’s world and that characters cannot hear. These sounds are nearly always added in postproduction. 

For example, the opening scenes for the “Star Wars” series use non-diegetic music from composer John Williams to create a highly accessible sci-fi experience for the audience. 





Non-diegetic sound examples from TV and film

The main types of non-diegetic sounds are:

Soundtrack and score: The incidental music of a film, used to create atmosphere or otherwise set tone, is audible to the audience but not the characters.

For example, Disasterpeace’s chaotic, synth-based soundtrack in “It Follows” alerts the audience to the violent disruption of the creature stalking the protagonist, Jay—but she doesn’t hear it.

Some sound effectsEffects clearly not heard by characters within a fictional world are sometimes used for exaggerated effect. For example, a “ding” sound accompanies every wink from Barney Stinson in this montage from “How I Met Your Mother.”

Voiceover narration: Voiceover audio is usually recorded off-camera and added into the project in postproduction. Except for the times narration breaks the fourth wall—such as the villain hearing narrator Keith Scott’s sonorous intonations in “George of the Jungle”—it is usually non-diegetic.

For example, Alec Baldwin narrates the world of “The Royal Tenenbaums,” offering insight into the family and their various escapades

Trans-Diegetic Sound

When a film combines diegetic and non-diegetic sound, they become trans-diegetic. Mixing both sound types is ideal for creative storytelling and for transitioning between scenes without being overly abrupt or disruptive. Trans-diegetic sound, such as a sound from the score becoming a song heard on the radio in a film, creates a seamless link between scenes that helps the audience acclimate to the world of the movie. 

For example, the opening of “Dog Day Afternoon” sees the Elton John song “Amoreena” playing over a montage of New York City (non-diegetic), before cutting to reveal that the song is coming from a character’s car radio (diegetic).

Diegetic, non-diegetic, and trans-diegetic sound all contribute to the overall sound design of a film, which lends itself to atmospheric sonic and cinematic experiences.

The film is loosely based on the true story of Mary Kay Letourneau, who had an illegal relationship with a sixth-grade student in the 1990s.
So, what does the title mean
AARP says that a “May-December romance” is “an age-old term for an amorous relationship between two people with a considerable age difference.

I really like the blurry effect and the movements of the butterfly. The black and white text is clear, simple and easy to read. It is a close up shot which makes the audience feel more engaged and interested to watch. The music in this title sequence is Theme from The Go-Between by Michel Legrand which is a jazz music with piano.

‌Background: We created a title sequence to show the expansiveness of Apple TV+’s sci-fi dramedy Hello Tomorrow! and its universe. We set the table for this retrofuturistic story with a hypnotic flare.

Design thinking: The show’s main character Jack Billings—played by actor Billy Crudup—heavily influenced the title sequence. He plays a salesman, so we wanted to nod to that with the design, making the sequence an expression of the invention he sells.

-This audio is very loud and makes you scared, this will appear when the title of the audio moved and goes up and changes the brightness at the same time.

-I tried to find related images for all four shots from different websites. It was difficult, because some images were small and I had to increase the size of them, which prevented to bad quality image and then, so I had to find another one with better quality and so I will not have bad quality picture when increasing the size of the image.

-And it wasn't that hard for me to find the audio, I found one website with lots of sounds and I chose the one that sounded scary, from quite to loud and scary and horror themed.


Audition multitrack


This is the four sounds that I used for my title sequence.



To make it sound better, in Inputs/Outputs I used yellow volume line to make it louder or quieter. And to change the volume I clicked on the yellow line and moved up - louder, move down - quieter. I think it will sound better, because all sounds are not going to have the same volume








For my title sequence, I put credits like who filmed it, from who or where I used music and who wrote it. I used effects on the pictures so it looks more suspense and I also added an effects for the title of the film "The outsider" and it looks more interesting. I also used Opacity to make it look more brighter or dull making an effects like its flashing, and I also used Position to make it go up while the text is flashing.




InDesign Booklet
28/01/2025 



In this experiment I used Adobe InDesign to make my booklet that's related to my title sequence. And the name in the title sequence is ''The outsider''. I put pictures to show how it looks like and to write a story about it so you will know what it is about. I used Rectangle Tool to create a box and write one quote to make audience think about the film and then I used Stroke (Triple) to add some lines and make it look interesting. I'm quite satisfied with my booklet, I like the images I put, but I would change the background where it says 'the story' as well, not just white.






Title sequence with audio
04/02/2025



In Adobe Audition, to change the volume or make it louder/quieter I clicked on the yellow line and move the point where I wanted the sound change in the end or at the start of the video. This will also add another keyframe to the yellow volume line.
I had some problems with exporting it from Adobe Audition to Adobe Premiere Pro, so I just screen recorded by using this website: 
Nicke Manarin (2023). ScreenToGif. [online] @ScreenToGif. Available at: https://www.screentogif.com/downloads [Accessed 5 Feb. 2025].



‌While screen recording I had a full size of the video, but when I exported that video in Adobe Premiere Pro it changed the size of the video. I also tried to change the size a few times, but it still the same.




To change the size of the video I had to click at the video on timeline and select "Scale to Frame Size".


Evaluation for title sequence with multitrack audio

My title sequence suits my film by using similar pictures that I used for my film, but I did use the same pictures, because I wanted it to look a bit different. With my audio, I decided it to be horror, loud and scary and I use a few audios to make the title sequence look and sound suspenseful.


I used Adobe After Effects to make the title sequence in general - to add the pictures, add video effects to it and to add the text as well. And for the audio, I used Adobe Audition to put the audios I chose and I made sure that the timing of the sound matches the video. And then, I used Adobe Premiere Pro to put the audio and video together.


I would develop my skills in adding different transitions or effects. 

The main research sources that inspired me were from online, I was researching so many websites to find different images.


In my opinion, the most successful part of it is the text that moves from up to down and then it disappears. And I also like where the audio at the end increases the volume when the title of the sequence goes up. Yes, I would improve it by adding a few more images and make the video a bit longer, because it is going to look more interesting.








InDesign suspense brochure
25/02/2024



























This is the front and back of the brochure. In Adobe InDesign to make 2 pages together I inserted 1 more page and then duplicate spread for the inside of the brochure. To add an image I used Rectangle Tool - File - Place and select the image.

Evaluation for my brochure for the film
My brochure suits my film by its dark colours of the pictures and I have a simple typeface which is easy to read. To create the brochure I use Adobe InDesign, and the tools I used are Rectangle Tool, Rectangle Frame Tool, Type Tool, Gradient.


I didn't had really a very complicated design, on the first 2 pages I just put one picture, and on the last 2 pages I created a gradient to make it look more interesting, not just one solid colour.


In my opinion, the most successful part of it is the pictures and the text around them. Also, I didn't had any difficulties with making my own brochure and I think I had enough skills to make the brochure. And, I wouldn't change it a lot, but I would improve the text and add more of it.

Audition multitrack for suspense scenario‌

28/02/2025

For my own suspense scenario, I used 5 different audios such as 3 horror and mystery audios, 1 footsteps on grass audio and 1 cell phone ringing audio. I used them to make it sound more nice and suspenseful. I also changed the volume of each audio, making them sound louder or quieter at different time.

My own edit


Group scene edit









Evaluation for group scene and own suspense edit
It was a successful and nice experience at working together with my group. We didn't had any problems and everyone were involved in doing their task to make the film. Before taking a camera and film, we were discussing about what is it going to be about, what equipment we need, who is going to be acting and who will be with the camera, how many shots we going to make and how many seconds each video will be.
 
The roles that people had are an actor, filming on camera, to control the lights and putting on the greenscreen. Equipment that we used are camera and lights. The part that I played in the group project is filming on camera and to make sure that the shots we made are not blurry.


For the audio of the scene, I added a few soundtracks and two sound effects, such as phone ringing and footsteps.


I added TV effect for all videos, I also had to cut a few videos so I don't have the parts of the videos that I don't need. I found using Adobe After Effects okay, but I had to search up sometimes to how do something that I didn't know.


The main difficulties I have encountered are changing the background because you could still see parts of greenscreen, It was also a bit hard to find high quality picture because when I had to increase the size of the image , it lost it's quality. I would improve on making more videos on greenscreen and make sure if the camera has to film up or down, it has to be a new video.
