For my A2 media coursework I created a music video for the song Clarke Gable, by The Postal Service. With the 1930's/40's film scene as inspiration I developed a film about a male in modern day who keeps closing his eyes and wishing love was as easy as it appears in the movies. This shot tells the audience a lot about what is happening, with the train in the background and the flowers it shows the couple are being re-united after a long journey. The cliche heel flick by the girl shows the love she has for him. With the couple being central in the shot, the audience are drawn to them and feel happy for them. Also the black and white presentation, and clothes the characters are wearing, gives the image a period feel.

It's, interesting how you've tried to associate the compositional aspects of this image with the progress of the narrative. There are also some clear signs here relating to romantic love - as you indicate, the girl's foot is a bit of a give away.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to see some examples of work that you have created for this module, especially as you are making a media product/text for this assignment.
You have made a really good start here.
Good lock,
Patrick.
