During this unit of Creative Media, I learnt many new terms used for movies as well as how to analyses films. At the beginning, this unit of work was very changeling for me because I am not a very observant person and tend not to pay much attention in movies because I am so caught up in the action or tension. I spent lots of time on each exercise and started training myself so I would be able to point out camera movements, mise -en scene and all the others. The activities that helped me understand the elements of film was the ‘genres worksheet’. This was because it gave me a very good understanding what each genre was and went into more depth about each genre. Through out the unit, I learnt many new skills. I learnt about Mise-en-scene, Cinematography, Sound and Editing and I learnt how to analyze films. It was all very hard work but once I got the hang of it, I just started doing it without even knowing it (got very annoying when I watched movies and all I could think about was the good use of mise en scene or the poor cinematography). To be honest, I am really glad we did all these activities before we wrote the assignment because it helped me so much! Yes at times it was really boring but by doing all these tasks, I had a better understanding on how to analyze any film and this really helped me when it came to the essay.
I am very happy with the final result of my essay because it took me ages to do and complete but it was a great experience. The only thing I would like to change about my essay would be my time management. I didn’t really plan my time out well so when it was due, I had to spend a lot of time the night before getting it done. If I could do this again I would plan my time better. This is just because it helps me from stressing the night before and that way I can do my best work instead of rushing my work. Overall, I am very happy with my essay and I really enjoyed this unit once I got the hang of analyzing films!
