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 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.

Audience and cinema going statistics
sci fi- star wars
thriller- Arrival
action- Deadpool
animation- Sing
adventure- Hunger games
mystery- Girl on the train
crime- Girl on the train
Audiences hear about films by the social media and by film trailers that come out and advertise. Social media is used all the time these days so this allows an easy advertisement.
Audiences prefer US films more because they are have the well known actors in and typically the US is associated to have more issues and drama.
Audiences do like to watch 3D films as it makes the experience more real life and keeps the audiences interacted.
Other ways films can watched is on the internet and this can be illegal. But aside from that there are things like Netflix and amazon that can allow you to pay monthly to watch films. DVD's are still being used to watch films as well.
Audiences go to the cinema with their family and friends. It allows the audience to interact socially and go on days out.

Representation of sexuality
Torch wood
In the clip you can hear one of the characters saying "tea boy , part time shag , cheap kiss" This is inferring to the sexual relationships between 2 of the characters.
There is feminine music playing which can infer about the characters sexuality, for the gay men. However when the gay men dance together the music changes to emotional and dramatic. So the audience can embrace the moment. All the background noise goes so that the moment is concentrated on.
When the two men kiss the music is very slow, and romantic which shows that there is a relationship between them .
The main men in this clip are dressed in British Navy uniform. People within the army/navy are typically stereotyped to be heterosexual where as these actors are known to be gay which wouldn't have been accepted.

Merlin
Social class
Social
class is a group of people within the society that passes the same economic
status, often by occupation.
Mise en scene:
In
the Merlin clip, you can see that the lower class is wearing thin, rugged
clothing. Which looks dirty. Then you can see the higher class wearing a metal
armour suite. Which shows he is well protected and upper class compared to what
Merlin is wearing.
With
the broomstick prop, you can tell that this would be used by the lower class.
Therefore, it is significant when the higher class hits him with it, and sweeps
dirt on him. In addition, there is the weapons. The higher class only has these
weapons and no one else does. It shows that the higher class has more power.
The
setting is mostly in the small village where all the lower class people work
and live. In the background of the fight, you can see these people are working
there. At the beginning, it is almost as if the higher class is walking round
checking up on the workers and village.
Sound:
Merlin
in the clip refers to the upper class as lord. Even though this is said in a
sarcastic way, it shows the power that the lower class does not have. The word
lord is referring to him as better than himself, and as if he is special.
The
audience being able to hear the women’s footsteps as she walks through the
castle. Shows her authority of the building. Merlin (the lower class) does not
have any rights to be in the castle that is why there is upbeat and dark music
at the beginning, inferring that this is not a place a lower class person
should be. In addition, as we find out he is not supposed to be here.
There
is animal noises and sounds of people working in the village as the fight goes
on between Merlin and the higher class.
Editing:
There
is editing used when the object are moved around by Merlin’s powers. This
contradicts the lower class and Merlin is still very powerful.
There
are smooth transitions from scene to scene.
There
is a fast pace during the fight, it builds tension and shows how they are
scared of the upper class.
Merlin
has the most screen time in the clip and this again contradicts the upper
class, as we would expect the upper class to be the main person having the
screen time. We do not expect to see Merlin’s point of view.
Camera:
There
is a pan shot, which lets us know where we are and it can set the scene.
There
is a close up of objects. This is showing the objects that Merlin should not be
touching. This is showing him as the lower class and how he has no rights to be
touching the upper classes objects.
There
is a high view shot looking down on Merlin, making him look small and less
powerful. Meaning that the audience is seeing the higher class as big.
There
is a low shot of the women walking into the room in the castle.

Disability- coming down the mountain
EDITING-
There are the two main characters who get the most screen time because its about their lives.The more able boy has the most screen time to show his point of view. The disabled boy doesn't get to show how he sees things. Typically he doesn't get a say in what happens. There is also a fade from one shot to the other, it is smooth and flows. Shows how the day gradually goes on.The more able character is very opinionated and doesn't need attention and caring like the other character.
SOUND-
There is language that is said by the disabled boy that makes you think that he is not matured and that his disability effects the way he acts, and thinks. It is like in the kitchen scene the boy says ' I need a poo'. To the audience we can tell that this type of behaviour might embarrass the more able brother. Also in the kitchen scenes the parents talk calmly and soft to the boy with down syndrome. Where as the other brother is treated less respectfully and the parents tone towards him is less thoughtful.This shows how disabled and abled people are treated differently. This can be the plot of the clip. It allows the audience to see this and proves what the more able boy is saying about his life compared to his brothers. During the conversations in the kitchen the abled boy talks a lot more than the disabled boy this tells us that in the real world disabled people don't really have a say in what goes on in society. There is diegetic sound of the cutlery and the chairs scraping along the floor brings us back to the reality of them being a normal family. Having this sound means the family is represented as the typical family with the typical life. The voiceover and the music are contrapuntal. The dialogue in the voiceover explains how annoyed the able body boy is with his disabled brother but the music is calm and soft.
CAMERA-
There is the first shot, which is a birds eye view. It shows the rooms structure which shows the disabled boys half of the bedroom and the other boys side. This shot shows that they share a room and this is proving the more able boys point of view that he spends half his time with his brother. They are always together. There is the child like side of the room full with toys and looks a bit messy and then theres the simple side that is tidy and smart. This is showing their split personalities. There are low angles shot when he's about to leave him, to show he's more immature and unworthy. Typically the lower the shot the more the audience the have to look up to the characters. This can be significant as it can infer that the disabled brother should be looking up to other brother, but we know that the brother is leaving him alone so therefore he is not looking up to him.
-180 panda tracking shot, the second shot of him on his bed, shows his brain thinking and moving from point to point.
-zoom on the boy in bed, to show his purity and how innocent his intentions are
-close up on the bus, changes stress him and the close shot to show how stressed he is and how he is struggling with the journey home.
MISE EN SCENE-
-dull lighting,shows sad life not happy. More of a negative
-teenagers, not reliable leaves the boy on his own and potentially puts him on danger and goes off with his friend to a party.
- no makeup represents innocence
-half and half sides of the bedroom, disabled boys side is very bright and colourful which shows that he is happy and content with his life where as his brothers side is quite dull and dark which shows he is not happy because he has to look after his brother all the time.
-At the bus stop the disabled boy is playing with his slinky toy which shows he has a child's mind we know this because his brother who isn't disabled is not playing with any toys.
-facial expressions-people looking at the disabled boy funny.
-disabled boy isn't really too bothered about what he is wearing.

Waterloo road analysis
-low shot of feet
-man teacher is in most of beginning shots
-the man teacher talks down to students and younger teacher. As if he is better than them.
-camera shots look up to teachers
-uniform is not warn right- rough looking
-quick shot changes
-The teachers are shown to have the most power this is because they are older and know they are in control.
-The main girl is like a bully and she is very angry due to people talking about her family and then there is the complete opposite which is the scared boy who she is after. The two charades are played so differently even thought they are in the same age range. This shows us that not all teenagers are alike.
-The sound shows the difference in the characters ages. The students use more slang and the teachers don't which show the adults are more mature and overall have more power again.
- The shots are cut sharp which makes the clip more realistic.
-The uniform of the students are very untidy while the teachers are more smart which shows the difference in how they want to be seen. The students don't care and the teachers are the opposite and care a lot about how they are seen.
-The broken camera as a prop shows the disrespect that the students have as it is damaged and broken.

Luther clip
In the Luther clip you can see by the camera angles that look down on everyone else but Luther. When the lady walks into the crime scene she is talking to Luther as if he has the power and Luther acts as if he knows what is going on. His voice is very dominant and powerful.

All of these top grossed films of 2016 was produced by one of the big six. Walt Disney is a very popular one, as 4/5 of its movies made it into the top grossed films.
The target audience of these is aimed at children and families. I think this because Walt Disney typically produce films for children and families. The genres of these films also give it away as they have the family genre.
These films were released near holidays or in them ,I think this is so when children break up from school more people go to see it because it is a good family day out. More people will be off work and school, with nothing to do.
