AV Seminar
I found this seminar really useful in the context of getting to alot more about story boarding in more detail. Theres alot of things that you don't think about when organising shots and so on. We had a task set during the seminar to discuss various genres within Western films and when we think of Western films what do think ?. I think that Western Films are stereotyped when you first think of western genres the first thing you think about is the stand offs,close up shots on their eyes, swinging doors the person stands in the door way and it's very atmospheric , sliding the glass across the bar makes that person feel bigger and alot more dominating. The music I find in western films are dominating and give the hole film atmosphere. The dialogue is always slow. Atmosphere is captured by the close-up shots and the stand offs were the goody and baddy mirror each other and pull there guns out. The hats that they wear aswell one person wear one bigger than the other does that mean that one person is more dominating than the other?.
