Applying Media Language
We have applied media language to most of our shot. There are a lot of techniques that we have used in our shots, for example, we have used a range of different angles and shot sizes in our short film. there is one scene where Jordan's character Ted is looking at a paintball gun, in this shot we are having a side on close up on Ted's face to show his facial expressions but also so the audience can see the gun and know what he is looking at. The first shot of our short film is going to be on the side of a car and this technique is a really good but effective as it is different but also you get to see where the car is going and this will help the audience understand where it is based. We have also thought a lot about our characters and how to construct them. For example Ted is someone who has ADHD but tries his best to keep focus and he also tries hard to impress, this has helped us with creating a the character. Harry is a childhood and best friend of Ted and has always put up with Ted so he understands what he is going through. These descriptions of the characters helped us with the mise en scene of our characters, Ted is going to be wearing a smart casual suit but not to smart, Harry will be wearing a hoodie and jeans as he is in the car and so is not going to be seen by anyone else but Ted. So all together media language has helped us with the shots and angles but most importantly creating a character through using media language.
