Approval

This was a very good film because it allowed the audience to feel attached to the character and some people may be able to relate or imagine what is it like to have a best friend who you always are with and then gets in to a deadly situation.The camera work in this was great as the zooming in and out really immersed the viewers and showed the surroundings. I think that the cinematography was very good in this film because when the girl got kidnapped it only showed the girls face when she was walking and then suddenly someones hand comes from behind and covers her mouth suddenly tension with in the audience. Also the camera zoomed on different characters which might be hinting to the audience the importance of each character in the individual scene.

Euphoria 

I thought this was also a very good project. A main feature of this film was the non diegetical voice overs. It allowed the audience to follow and understand the story line in the film. There was also an established narrator, who effectively told the story whilst building up tension. The lighting and camera work were both quite effective as the use of high key lighting allowed the main character to appear helpless and lost, laying on the grass.

Click

My favourite movie from the media awards was "Click". The genre seemed to be that of an action film with an hint of supernatural abilities. The plot seemed intriguing, as they seemed to have been involved in some kind of robbery that gave them alot of money. However, one of the characters seemed to have a supernatural ability to stop time which gave him a great advantage over the others. The cinematography was at a high standard as the editing was able to stop characters in time not dependant on their actions, whether it be climbing a wall, falling backwards or jumping. The aspects of mise-en-scene also added to my interest in the film. In terms of costume, the suits made the characters look a high social class as well as the contrasting it with previous scenes in the urban areas. The shots were mostly outside in natural lighting, meaning the trailer had less hyper realism that we see in most movies. The actors within the film played their roles very well also, making it easier to watch and ultimately more interesting. The setting also played a part in my interest as it was a quiet car park which is not what you would usually find in a shoot out scene
