INTRODUCTION TO FILM LANGUAGE

Introduction to the film language of television drama

  • Film language: how meaning is created through camerawork, editing, mise-en-scene and sound
  • Television crime drama: we contrast the film language of Suits with that of Strike The Cuckoo's Calling Episode 1.  You have a list of film language on the TV drama page at the top of this blog.
  • You create your individual blog and email me its url.
  • Next: start your ScoopIt! Look at the site (open the link provided) and sign up. You are making a page called AMERICAN TV DRAMA where you will 'scoop' (collect / collate) websites that give you information on American television crime drama, like this one.

Your blog will be submitted as evidence of your work (such as production work research and planning) and count towards your final mark. Your blog will host your foundation and advanced production work.

You will also use the blog to prepare for your two examinations. At the top of the class blog, the pages are used to store information that builds over the course.
