  1. MEDIA – FILM AS ART

  2. How studying film fits into the KS3 Framework • Year 8: R8 – investigate how meanings are changed when information is presented in different forms or transposed into different media; R9 – recognise how texts are shaped by the technology they use e.g. the use of sound and image in a computer animation; • Year 9: R10 – comment on interpretations of the same text or idea in different media, using terms appropriate for critical analysis.

  3. And beyond… • Media is an integral part English Language GCSE coursework • Some schools now offer the option of a Media GCSE in place of English Literature.

  4. MISE-EN-SCENE • Translated literally, this means ‘to put on stage’; the term has its origins in the theatre. • When studying films, a more useful definition may be ‘the contents of the frame and the way they are organised.’

  5. MISE-EN-SCENE Whilst there are many differences of opinion about what makes up mise-en-scene, the generally accepted elements are: • lighting; • colour (or lack of); • costume; • props; • décor; • action and performance; • space (e.g. personal space between performers); • camera position; • framing and • the interaction of any or all of these elements. • You can also consider diegetic sound (sound within the scene, such as a radio playing, as opposed to the film score.)

  6. Focus on… The Big Sleep (1946) • Group 1 - action and performance • Group 2 - Space and costume • Group 3 - Lighting. Activity One Whilst watching an excerpt from the film, focus on key concepts in groups to then feedback to the rest of class.

  7. What is Film Noir? • Film noir is a cinematic term used to describe Hollywood crime dramas, particularly those that emphasize moral ambiguity and sexual motivation. • It ‘began’ in the early 1940s and carried through to the late 1950s. • The stories that most noir films were based upon emerged in the United States during the Depression.

  8. BLACK vs. WHITE IN THE 1940-50S • ‘white = good’ and ‘black = bad.’ • black and white was associated strongly with empirical or documentary truth. • Colour was considered inappropriate for the gritty subject content of noir films.

  9. Neo-Noir Uses similar conventions to noir, but plays with the audiences’ expectations.

  10. Focus on…The Last Seduction (1993) Made in colour, so it’s particularly interesting to see how the director makes use of lighting effects. (Chiaroscuro – the term given to the effect of light, dark and shade in the frame, specifically ‘stripes’ of light/shadow.) Activity Two Watch excerpt and write a brief individual response to the character of Bridget Gregory – how has the lighting effected your perception of her?

  11. Does anyone know how The Last Seduction ends?

  12. Any Questions?
