Funding 1) The budget for Chicken was £110,000. 2) Joe Stephenson raised the money entirely through investment by individuals (e.g. rich friends/contacts). This is because no funding body was willing to fund Chicken. 3) The Chicken budget is a micro-budget film. This is an extremely low amount of money to make a film, especially compared to Hollywood-British blockbusters like Spectre or Paddington 2. 4) The BFI Film Fund is an organisation that uses National Lottery funds to develop and support original UK filmmakers and films, and to increase the audiences who can enjoy them. They contribute because they provide support for the production, development and completion of feature films which fairly reflect people from different backgrounds. Also, they support high-quality British and independent releases, increase film choice for audiences and offer a springboard for UK film exports. 5) Chicken failed to secure funding from the BFI Film Fund because the movie was aimed at a niche a...

This clip is from the 1959 movie,  North By Northwest  (The Crop Duster Scene). In this scene the protagonist, Roger Thornhill, is stranded in the middle of nowhere and runs for his life as he is being attacked by an attacking crop duster. The  mise en scene  within this video indicates that the character is  isolated and struggling  to cope with the situation. This is further emphasised by the  monochrome and de-saturate  colours used in the scene. The  character  is dressed up in a suit, which doesn't match the scene. This reinforces how the character is out of his comfort zone because he is in an isolated and dirty environment. The  lighting  is quite bright. We can see that this scene is taken during  mid-day , the sun is out and the clouds are blue. By having this  bright light  the audience members are able to see what exactly is going on and are able to see the characters face reaction each time s...

13 Reasons Why (2017)- Brian Yorkey 1) How are tracking or dolly shots used in the sequence? To show the conversation, tracking the character. Helps introduce the setting , emotional reactions, and reaction from the audience. 2) How are camera shots and angles used in the sequences and what might they communicate to the audiences? Change of angle, connotes power and dominance. Shot at a lower angle - the tour. Citizen Cane (1940)- Orson Welles 1) Discuss the various shots and camera movements and their effects? Wealthy person- "No trespassing"- reclusive. Boat/house, establishing shot. 2) How does the cinematography work with other aspects of film language  you have studied to create meaning? Low key lighting is used. Sound and light stop/disappears when he dies. Moulin Rouge (2001)- Baz Luhrmann The colour was used to show 2 different time periods. Many crane shots used.
