Photo-shoot, Health & safety

Using the "redheads"

• The redhead lamps are extremely fragile, so when transporting them use the bag and padding. Be cautious when you're near them, 2 people should carry them.
• The lamps also become very hot after extended periods of use, so take care and make sure they are safe to carry before attempting to move them.
• Do not cover them with anything.
• Do not look directly into the lights when they are turned on.
• The bulbs are also very expensive and break very easily, extreme care should be taken at all times.
• When you're using the lamps, make sure the lead connecting the lights to the socket is taped down.

The Shark Model

The Shark Model

The shark Model consists of three main sections, the bite, the body and the tail.

The bite section of the narrative theory describes the incident that initialises the story this has to be very shocking if it is to fit in the shark Model narrative theory.

The body section is the main plot in the film and the body of the film.

The tail section of the narrative theory, is the ending of a film.

Poster Analysis - Attack of the 50ft Women

Poster analysis

Who is the film about?

I think the film is about a 50 ft woman, and other people in her life.

Where is it set?

By what is seen in the poster I would say that the film is set in America, in a largely built up city area. Reasons for this are, the fact that there is an American style highway, and American police cars, located underneath the raised road near the woman’s right leg.

When is it set?

The film may be set in the late 1950’s, which is apparent by the dress sense and the style of hair of the women in the poster, as well as the police car design and the font and lettering style.

Genre

Genre

What is meant by the term genre?

The term genre defies categories in which literature and other forms are based upon; this can be applied for music and film. Genres are formed based on conventions and generics of a film or and can change over time with the introduction of new genres and the discontinuation of others.

Give one example of a film genre and list the typical codes and conventions of that particular genre:

Comedy:

· Stars that are linked with that genre in other films, e.g. Seth Rogen.

· Up beat music

· Props

· Certain lifestyle choices

· Language

· Character types

Pick an example of a film that you have seen recently, name the genre and describe the typical codes and conventions used in that film.
