Shaylyn Lyons Final Film Task

I found some codes and conventions in the video clip that I would like to dive into, including symbolic codes, technical codes,  and story conventions. In the entire clip, the audience has a sense of happiness and carefreeness from the main character (the character riding the bike with curly hair.) It is almost as if this character keeps winning, as seen in a later scene where the character gets a good deal on a drink. Another character, Amir, seen in the corner shop scene, has a slight numb demeanor, almost as if they hold information from the main character; information could ruin the main character's carefree nature.  Continuing the clip travels through many shots and angles using technical codes. This code's use in the clip aids the audience in understanding the environment and setting the story takes place. From the gathered clips, the audience can infer that the story starts in a neighborhood that houses many minority groups from all the people passing by the presents of...

By taking advantage of the social construct, Disney preset the roles in the audience's mind without them even knowing. The way Disney uses a specific col...

  The music video how do you sleep by Sam Smith deals with the concepts of relationship troubles, heartache, deceit, and shame; each camera angle and dance movement convey these ideas and values. You can always see Sam Smith’s eyes, and it is almost like Mx. Smith is singing to you. There are lots of touching movements that showcase a romantic relationship or feeling trapped in said relationship. The shot where the different color changes where the dancers look could mean the other emotions or sides of a person are shown. Each part of the video is thought out to show the turmoil this relationship had on Sam Smith. The dance moves were used to show the heartbroken person feeling both free and trapped while dancing. Even while carrying the weight of a broken relationship, you can tell with each movement felt more and more freeing. Furthermore, there are eight settings in the video, each with its significance. You can interpret Sam feeling numb or doubt the significant other in the fi...
