Ethnicity representation- Treme

NOTES:
One family lives in a fancy house and seems to be wealthy.
They are dressed smart and fancy.
They want to get money by doing illegal things like selling cannabis and they mention black jack. These people seem very dodgy as they smoke and are drinking alcohol in the day time.
The other two guys want to get money by playing music even though they are in bad health states and are depressed.
There is a gang living on the streets in their own country
Empty bar is very dark and not bright-negative and dull

Regionalism- Doc Martin


CAMERA:

In the doc martin clip you can see that there a few shots from his point of view and what he is seeing. You being able to see what he is seeing means the audience can see the type of person that doc martin is. Like when Doc Martin walked towards to the dog in the building, it showed his view point and how he approached the dog steadily and bold. Doc Martin was not afraid and it showed his power as the dog test his patience throughout the whole clip. All the other characters are not bothered about the dog they do not care and this shows how they are used to this.

There is a side view camera shot when Doc martin walks into the police office to take the dog. The side view allows the audience to see how manly and his bold posture. The audience can then see his manly figure and the way he is perceived in the clip, as the characters come from different backgrounds.

There is a mid-shot of his when he is angry. This presents to the audience how angry Doc Martin is and shows his facial features that present this idea clearly. It gives the angry moment emphasis. It shows that Doc Martin has a short temper and that he is a very dominant person. This is showing the complete opposite to all the other characters in the clip.

EDITING:

Doc martin gets the most screen time. This is because out of everyone in the village he is the clear individual that is from another region. Some of the different characters were shown so they can be compared to Doc Martin. Doc Martin is not a regular and has never been to this village before, showing to the audience this is not where he lives or a place he is used to. The most screen time being of Doc Martin allows the audience to see what he is and how he differs from the other characters.

MISE EN SCENE:

Doc Martin is smartly dressed and he is very professional looking. However most of the other characters are in work clothes and look very causal.

Doc Martin is presented as very down to earth as he shouts at the workers and tells them what to do. He is not afraid to say what he thinks. He has very high expectations we can tell this as the surgery is compared to by him as a mess and he does not expect anything that happened in the clip. He expects all the other people to be like him and be success not failures at doing things right.

Everyone else in the clip is very calm, like when the sink was spraying water the man was very calm and did not panic. He was not bothered at all by it. They are all very friendly and have a good sense of humour. The audience can see this as Doc Martin is known by everyone as they pay attention and how the Doctor is welcomed in to the village by many different characters. Doc Martin and all the other characters are very different people.

The clip is set near the seaside. The clip is based in a small friendly village where everyone works together. We know that Doc Martin is from London, this means that Doc Martin is used to the city and the nice buildings. Also Doc martins normal type of setting would not have a dog that can just walk through and get into the buildings.

A prop that is important in the clip is the sink this is because when it is broken it is Doc Martin that finds the solution and fixes the problem as he grabs a pillow and stop the water from spraying everywhere. He shouts at all the staff and arranges them but telling them what they can do to help. This is showing his bossiness.

SOUND:                                       

Doc Martin said "another down town Londoner" this is how he thinks he is known by the other people. They then prove they come from different regions. As well as this we can tell by the accents of the characters e.g. the man working on the sink. That they are not the same or from the same place. The old man working on the sink said "down here we just go with the flow" This is showing and telling the audience directly that that region is very relaxed and not rushed and planed. It shows that whatever happens down there is resolved in its own time when its right. Whereas Doc Martin likes to get things done quick and professionally.

task 9- Film terminology






Task 8

Technologies used:
It is important in production as the new technology enhances the viewing experience for the audience so they get more value for their money because they are effectively the film industry’s customers. Examples of new technologies within the production process include things such as: Silicon imaging digital cameras, digital held cameras, new editing software like after effects, SFX, computer generated images and the new massive introduction of digital film and 3D technology.

Film companies have excelled in how well they can and are able to distribute and market their films and this is because of the introduction of new technologies. These technologies include: Official websites and blogsites, press and public previews, online competitions, phone apps and social networking sites. The typical and traditional form of marketing a film towards an audience would be in the form of film posters and trailers but as technologies have advanced so has marketing methods.

Film makers can use trailers, film posters; do online marketing such as; official websites and blog sites, public and press previews e.g. interviews, competitions, social networking sites and phone apps. With newer technologies and most of marketing being done online it had become a lot much cheaper for companies to distribute and market products.

Gender

Cutting it
The women is wearing the typical girly girl clothing of a dress with heels. She is not dressed casually. It would not be stereotypical if the woman was wearing tracksuits or normal jeans. It shows the woman as vulnerable and the typical women.
The woman is also shown as very controlled by the man and as a forgiving figure. She says “I know about …” The woman is shown to know everything and she does not seem very angry that her husband has been cheating. And she wants to forgive and forget quickly. It is very stereotypical that the women is seen as not violent or angry.

The man is dressed in a suite and looks like a businessman. Men are seen as hard working and supportive.

The women when she goes to her meeting and is told the news of her health and she cries and looks upset like it is bad news. This is showing the women as emotionally vulnerable and hard to read.

There is a close up of the women’s face when she is told the news of her health and it shows the emotions of her and her vulnerability.

The way the women speaks is very calm and the way the man speaks is very dominant to the woman. “………”
The man is there to support the woman and to make sure she is all right. We can see she is relying on the man for emotional stability.
