This week, we firstly looked at cinematography in film. The aspects we covered:
1. Shot Types
2. Camera Movement
3. Camera Angle
4. Depth Of Field
Then we looked at the editing in a film, which were:
1. Long Take
2. Montage
3. Low Speed
4. High Speed
5. Reverse Speed
6. Desaturation
We had our first pop quiz for the semester (cough.. only first... meaning there might be more to come...) And then we discussed the film Full Metal Jacket. Which is full of amazing cinematography and clever editing techniques.
Remember: In the exam, when you are asked to name the technique - it means name the EDITING technique.
Next week we are going to have our first assessment briefing, which is probably going to be important for you guys.
Also another thing - If I miss saying this in class, I'll say it now -
VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE MOVIE ANALYSIS POSTS!!!!!
This made me very impressed, even if most of them weren't really analyses, it still shows you guys put effort in your work. Great job everyone.
I'll see you next week! Hope you had a great weekend,

WEEK 1: COURSE INTRODUCTION
"THE LENGTH OF A FILM SHOULD BE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE ENDURANCE OF THE HUMAN BLADDER." - Alfred Hitchcock
This week we covered what Cinema is about, and the assessments for this term.
We also discussed the movie of the week, Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock, and went through the themes and motifs present in the film.
To download the PDF version of the lecture slides, check the bottom.
Psycho is still highly celebrated today after 50 years, and here are just some cool lego collectables you can buy off eBay if you really are a fan:
Next week we are viewing Memento, directed by Christopher Nolan. For tutorial in Week 2, it is all about Narratives, so make sure you attend because it is important!
If you guys find anything interesting that is related to this course, or any movies you want to write about, feel free to post it up!!!
I check the blog every night before I sleep... *cough* ... Ok well I do quite often =P
Also if you have any questions about what we covered in Week 1, or if you didn't understand something, please comment this post.
