Moving Image Analysis

Moving Image Analysis
‘Life on Mars’

      The third episode of the second series called ‘Car Bomb’ contains the theme of racism and how women are treated by the dominant male characters. It begins with an urgent call about a suspicious car outside a school it is put down as a bomb, Sam Tyler, the main character, knows it wouldn’t be a bomb as being from the future he knows there were no reports of car bombs outside a school in 1973 however he is proved wrong as a heated conversation with another officer about Sam trying to impress Annie, the only female in the police force and a member of the main gang. This is the first moment we see the single women singled out from her male friends, we also see how the men react to trying to impress her Sam tries to avoid the conversation and focus only on the mysterious car in front of them, while his friend approaches the car with silence and with the tension building leaving the audience on the edge of their seats,. The car explodes making him be swept off his feet this emphasises the size of the explosion as the camera can only see half of the car however this shows the distance the officer is to his partners, as his friends run to his aid editing has been done to the movement of the characters making them run in slow motion this adds to the shock to the unexpected event.

      The women officer Annie acts and also represents the mother figure to all the male officers she cares for all her friends and also has a strong independent image this is her going against the stereotype that women are too sensitive to be police officers. We first see this caring personality as Annie collects money from her fellow colleges to give to the injured officer in hospital everyone contributes to the fund she is the only character to use polite manners in the episode this can symbolise the good cop in every police force. Annie is the only women in the room amongst all the men showing how it is unusual for women to be a police officer in those times.

      As the main character Sam looks at all the evidence he plans to visit the accused workers officer to find more clues about the next suspected bomb attack. Sam asks Annie to join him, this suggests the close bond between them, even when all the male officers abandoned Sam he knows Annie wouldn’t as she supports and cares for everyone however we see how she is caught in the middle of her friends and colleges, at 37:52 Annie is told to remain with the other officers and not to go with Sam as she decides who to follow one of the officers speaks in a low tone “your coming with us” this shows how Annie is controlled by the dominant men as she follows them silence falls as Sam is left alone.  The tone of voice makes Annie sound like an object, Annie wears a brown coat in the scene the plane colour symbolises natural beauty and the neutral party.

Although Annie was instructed to go with the other officers she still helps and appears in the suspects work office surprising Sam, Sam explains his findings to her showing the trust he has for her, Annie is still wearing her brown coat which was the main colour and fashion at the time also adding to the time period.

      Sam tells Gene Hunt (Sam’s boss) his hypothesis in front of all his colleges this is done in a long shot making everyone in the room focus on Sam, also to show Sam is wise as he is from the future this is something Sam and the audience know making everyone else look from a different planet this relates to the title ‘Life on Mars’ the name of the show also has the recurring theme of loneliness Sam hearing his heart monitor and doctors talking about his condition.

When Gene Hunt agrees to Sam’s theory the receptionist enters telling them the location, she asks “are you psychic?” This relates to the fact Sam is from the future and they don’t know it is key information that only the audience and Sam know. This is the second women working in the police department although she follows the stereotype that women are receptionists or should work at home or in a basic office. Annie goes against this.

      48:18 is the climax we have seen the crime been solved and now the suspect now being apprehended. The criminal holds a loaded gun to one of the officers head, the camera is angled in a behind the shoulder shot this is done to show the audience what the criminal is thinking and seeing the position of the police officers, Gene Hunt in front, Sam on the right holding a gun pointing at the criminal and the voice of reason from Annie on the left but slightly behind the two main officers this represents the men are more tough and protect the damsel (Annie) also the voice of reason is always at the back of a person’s head. The positioning of Sam and Annie represent good and bad Sam (bad) holding the gun like criminal is the violent side of the brain and Annie (good) the voice of reason she is not armed and Gene in the middle represents the criminal deciding between the two. No sound the background music stops so we can hear Annie and Sam give a speech on why the criminal should put the gun down, Annie still wearing her brown coat showing she is neutral. The criminal surrenders and relinquishes the gun into Sam’s hand.

      The police officers relax in the pub another iconic symbol of the show, the camera pans around the room and with a tableaux shot the whole police team claps praising the work from Sam, Sam is welcomed back into the group. In the pub there is only the sound of drinks and everyone talking, this creates a real image of police life and the end to a hard day. Through the laughter and jokes one of the officers makes a joke towards San and Annie, the receptionist hits him to correct his behaviour this shows the women are there to remind and be the ones with manners.

We see how Annie keeps everyone together with the convocation with Sam he said he will buy her a chocolate bar to thank her for helping him and being there for him, chocolate is usually used to represent love and passion this could hint the love Sam has for Annie.

What Is Wrong With The British Film Industry

What Is Wrong With The British Film Industry?

By Stephanie Rallison

     There are a number of problems with the British film industry as there have been a number of films made with a low budget, the equipment used can be faulty or is low quality so the completed film does not create enough detail to the features of the set and characters. The most successful films in the British film industry are “Billy Elliot”, “Kings Speech” and “Slumdog Millionaire”. From the number of films that have been made most have been unsuccessful, there have been ideas about showing independent films to a small crowd of people before releasing to the public, as this will allow the audience to have a say about the film and allow the directors to get feedback about their work. However not one individual should have the right to shoes whether a film is good or bad as everyone is different and have their own opinions.

     Another problem with the British film industry is the people who are given the opportunity to make a film, it is said that most film makers focus more on the bank balance of the film and not the dream that most people would love to do in life, making a film. Some film makers don’t put all of their heart into a film this makes the final print less of an impact on the audience. Films are meant to connect with the audience and inspire them to achieve and on some occasions a plot to a movie can relate to someone’s own life and provide guidance and help.

     British films aren’t always advertised well it does not get enough attention from the public, this adds to the reason why British films are made with a low budget and not supplied with a reasonable amount of money to be put towards their development. Most films in the UK are from Hollywood as the development of the films is well planned and every scene contains many camera angles and careful consideration to how it will look on the big screen. For these reasons, Hollywood films are more successful and this is also why they are placed in the UK’s cinemas. The genre of the films is another problem as they are repetitive; the most common films are related to teenager gangsters, this then breaks down into teenage pregnancy, drugs or unemployment the same genre used in most movies all with the same results and the same kind of ending. This could be the British film industry’s way of connecting with the younger generation, also a change in time to young people’s social life.

     In conclusion the British film industry has changed over the film years and there have been many problems with this change. Audiences would prefer to see a film produced in Hollywood than in Britain as it is the same genre also not enough money is used in the budget of making the film resulting in limited resources and low quality equipment this effects the production of the film making the final print less appealing to watch in theatres.

Peak Practise Analysis

Peak Practise

By Stephanie Rallison

     From the clip from Peak Practise there is a theme of gender, the main character Dr Glover, a female doctor, helps a drug addicted man who is in prison. The female character goes against the stereotype about female doctors however  the vulnerable side of a female is shown clearly as the patient in prison shoves Dr Glover  to the ground, with the male guards rushing in to control the prisoner we see a fragile moment of Dr Glover, her facial expression shows fear and shock. The camera is slightly above her so we can see how small the doctor is at this moment.  Throughout the scene in the prison there is no sound being played in the background, only the sound of the keys being used by the guard, this represents loneliness of being locked away, being hidden from everyone else. The uniform being worn by the prisoner is the same as everyone else’s showing no individuality and blue to represent grief. He grieves for his friend who died and the fact he wasn’t allowed to pay his respect at the funeral makes him believe it was his fault for the death. The prisoner begs Dr Glover “please make it go away” this is emotive language allowing the audience to connect with this character and to make the audience think about is it his fault, the death of his friend and his addiction to the drug his body is so used to. The quote can also refer to the prisoners pain of losing his best friend and his addiction also it can suggest the prisoner believes everything can be taken away by medication the pain can disappear if he has a form of drug.

      In the opening scene the camera slowly zooms in on Dr Glover and her partner Jack this symbolises the growth of their relationship.  We see Dr Glover with her husband Jack, he stands over her as he talks suggesting his level of authority in the relationship. Even when Jack shows his care for Dr Glover he stands behind her but still above her, with his arms around her also symbolising his power over her and his authority in the relationship. There is no background music during the clip this could be for the audience to hear what is happening, how the characters are feeling clearly and to hear what the characters are hearing. The only sounds we hear are actions in the background and in the scene, the keys being used to open the cell door and the knock on the office door which interrupts Dr Glover’s time with her husband. We don’t know much about Jack or his role in the clip, all we can tell is the fact he is married to the main character.

      Dr Glover is the only women in the whole clip compared to the many male characters in the camera shot, this can symbolise a women struggling in a male society and how she has to prove she deserves to be a respected doctor and this can explain why she went to the prison to treat the drug addicted patient even though she would known the risks. Dr Glover is knocked down physically and mentally in the last scene showing the true face of an innocent victim, a fragile women and a women trying to earn the same rights and respect as a man, the guards had to drag the prisoner back to his cell while Dr Glover sat in shock at what had happened, this gives the argument on what a man would of done in that situation, would he of fought back, defended himself or got back up straight away. The fact that Dr Glover done none of these actions shows the reality she is a women and she was able to go down so easily that it frightens her.

     In conclusion this clip was interesting however not much editing had been done in the making of it leaving the clip uneventful, in my own opinion I believe this show was not very appealing to the audience compared to the drama shows we have now. The clip only suggests the theme but doesn’t enforce it unlike most dramas today however the clip does leave the audience wanting to watch more and to find out how3 Dr Glover develops from this shocking experience bringing her back to reality of the argument of women vs. men.

School Bullying Clip Analysis



      The scene is set in a school car park; this is shown by the movement of the camera it pans around the area then zooms in from the ground to the schools logo this makes the symbol key and important, the height of which the camera climbs can suggest high standards of the school, the deer representing pride. The movement from the camera as it scans the car park can suggest we, are looking through the eyes of a person a student or teacher. Majority of the cars are black this creates a depressing mood also a foreshadowing moment. No sound is used in the clip this creates a silent and lonely mood the cars cover most of the scene making the path to the buildings unclear, the only access to the entrance is shown but it leaves the question why is there nothing there?
     In the next scene we are introduced to a character, the camera zooms in on him from a distance this makes him the main character. He wears black clothing suggesting a negative image, he wears a red fez this suggests his background culture, the colour stands out making it noticeable. The colour red symbolises danger this could suggest the character could be a target or a victim another foreshadowing event. The only sound we can hear is his footsteps the sound echoes showing he is alone. As the character approaches the entrance he is stopped by another pupil “what the hell are you wearing?” he wears brighter clothing an opposite to what the main character is wearing this is an opposing force, the bully of the clip. He does not reply showing a timid side to him, we are not told his name this suggests he prefers to keep to himself.
     Next we have our main character dashing down a corridor hands on his face almost shielding himself from reality, he’s not wearing his fez this shows he is trying to fit in with everyone but it is unsuccessful with this as he is alone again only his footsteps can be heard. The long shot gives a dramatic effect to the mood also makes us sympathise with him.
     At this moment we witness the tension building, the teacher who is also wearing black asks the main character if he is ok but is quickly ignored. His footsteps are stilled heard as the pupil runs away this is still foreshadowing as he has been running ever since he arrived at the school and it makes the audience wonder where he will run to. The sound of the footsteps get lighter and lighter as the pupil runs off creating a distance from the pupil and the teacher, this goes back to the high standards of the school. The teacher turns slowly to the window, we see a female student who does match the expectations of the school her bright blond hair stands out symbolising peace, she is also alone this shows the students are all alone. As the main character runs away we cannot hear his footsteps this could show his time is running out as he can no longer run from his problems.
    
Our main character runs down the corridor he is confused not knowing where to run to and decides to hide in a cupboard. He attempts to end his life a close up of him making a noose creates tension as there is no sounds not even the sound of footsteps, this is the climax building as we don’t know anyone who will help him. The noose is black representing death, this recurring colour was foreshadowing this event. The death of a teenager at school. We see the frightful moment where we witness the life being taken from the pupil, we can only hear him chocking making the scene more dramatic and horrific, the sound of his legs hitting the wooden wall can symbolise the sound of a wooden coffin closing.The teacher bursts into the room and sees the lifeless body he tries to help by grabbing the body to support it and save his life, the light entering the room from the opening of the door can symbolise the doorway to heaven. The clip ends leaving the audience wondering if the pupil survived.

School Bullying Clip

    
      A clip from Waterloo Road it shows an extreme form of bullying where the victim, Harry tries to drown himself in the swimming pool. Harry is bullied for what he has to wear in the clip (brightly coloured swimming trunks) and how he looks. The comments thrown at him makes Harry feel singled out and alone as not even the teachers notice how he feels or how he is being treated.
      The scene is first set with Harry alone in a changing room, the fact he separates himself from the other boys can suggest he does not feel comfortable around them as could feel exposed, getting changed with other boys. The background music creates slight tension as the pace builds up, the sound of the locker closing can represent Harry's fate being sealed, the plan to steal his trunks has been done and the next stage of the bullies plan is about to unfold.
      The camera is focussed on the swimming pool as Harry walks past, his reflection is seen in the water, this is a foreshadowing event it creates more suspense to the clip. The convocation between the teacher and Harry is paced; we can tell the teacher is not focussed on Harry's problem. She turns her head quickly "what is it?" This sounds similar to how a teenager would speak to another person, this can suggest the teacher acting like a school girl as she doesn't reply to Harry in a polite manner but instead she is more focused on talking to the male swimming instructor.
      As Harry comes out of the changing room with his bold trunks the music dies down, this is done so the audience can hear the comments the other students make and so the audience can empathize with Harry. A behind the shoulder shot is used so the audience can see from the angle the other students are standing also a medium close up of Harry is used often as he walks past his peers. As Harry is shoved into the pool the camera falls as well giving more of a dramatic effect as he emerges from the water another over the shoulder shot has been used but this time for the audience to see from Harry’s point of view, we see the bullies Fin and Josh in the main view point with the added members of the class standing behind them this could represent how the other students follow the two boys and not try to help Harry.
      We see how the pool is divided with majority of the class around the Fin the main bully and Harry by himself the fact that he floats by himself can represent how he has been cast away from the social groups in his class. The sound of rude comments about Harry echo in the pool as they are being chanted we see what Harry is seeing all the students laughing and looking at him we see this from his own eyes. Harry takes his last gasp of air as he begins to sink underwater, the camera becomes unfocussed this can symbolize his mind becoming unclear and alone. The slow music shows times slowing down and Harry’s connection to reality and life fading away. Editing has been done, slow motion has been added to Harry’s movement this adds to reality slowing down and Harry’s life ending but this movement stops the water explodes as the swimming instructor rescues Harry and brings him to the surface. Reality hits the class as they did not notice Harry was in danger, even Fin is shocked, the swimming instructor says “I will check him over to be sure” this is the attention Harry has not received during the whole clip. It finishes with Harry smiling and the teachers hand on his head this can represent love, comfort or protection because finally Harry is being noticed.
      I will be working in a team to re-enact this scene but include our own ideas for the way the victim is treated and how he feels as this will give more of a understanding of why a child would want to take their own life.

Cutting it analysis

“Cutting it”
By Stephanie Rallison

     From the first scene we are given an insight to the two main characters, a close up of their hands holding shows trust also a worrying atmosphere. The male character does not know where they are going while the female character pays the taxi cab, this can symbolise the female as the dominant partner in the relationship. The female character is going to a consultant suggesting she may have cancer or a form of illness, as she walks away her coat is unbuttoned and open this gives a brave figure, as she spoke to her partner the 180’ rule is used a lot and quick cut scenes adds pace to the scene and conversations.
     In the consultants room the female character has a brave face while she begins to cry, there is an aerial shot of the room this could symbolise death, it makes the audience wonder if she does have cancer. As she is being given the news she has a brave reassuring smile trying to remain in control, in a cut scene to that, the camera pans across her partner who waits patiently outside, with the same reassuring smile as he focuses on his wedding ring, a close up of the ring represents love, commitment and trust. Going back to the consultant room another aerial shot is done showing God, heaven looking down on the consultant and his patient, this can represent judgement her life at a standstill.
     As she leaves the room she ties up her coat this can symbolise her secrets and feelings being bottled up she wants to keep everything in control. In the background we see members of the public wearing white coats this represents peace, meaning the female character does not have cancer, also being set outside of the hospital there are no doctors or nurses standing outside the building, this could also prove she doesn’t have cancer, she is free from treatment no more doctors , nurses and tests.
     As the female character returns to her partner a dramatic event takes place she calls out “guess what!” A large vehicle passes in front of her, silence comes and the sound of glass breaking fills the screen a exploding smash echoes making the scene freeze. The mysterious vehicle passes and we see the female lying on the curb and white roses scattered next to her broken body. The roses symbolise a wedding, love peace hospital sickness and death. Editing has been done a lot to this scene, slow motion as the camera shakes gives the audience a look through the male characters angle, and this puts us in his shoes. We hear the thumping of a heart beat this adds to the dramatic effect also symbolising love and shock, all he can hear is his own heart beating or this could be the heart from the injured partner slowly getting quieter and quieter. The male partner rushes to help her he knocks over the chair which she would of sat on, no one notices her lying injured on the pavement or the chair falling to the ground this could shoe the two main characters are alone only there for each other . His run and actions are all in slow motion this is dramatic and shows the shock going through his mind and body, as he attempts to run across the road, he still checks for passing cars so he doesn’t have the same fate as his partner, no other vehicles stop to let him pass safely or stop for the women on the pavement this adds to the idea they are lonely. As he makes it to her, comforting her cold body as she slowly slips away the white roses next to her and the sound of violins in the background representing grief, sadness, fear we have a bird’s eye view of the couple, their last moment together his watch on his wrist indicating the time of death a foreshadowing moment. Lastly the female character whispers “a perfect day” this could suggest they were married in the morning as this would explain their smart clothes and the many times the rings are in the camera shot showing their commitment to each other and the consult was planned to be done after they were married. The quote could be stating she doesn’t have cancer making the day be summarised as perfect.
     In conclusion the clip was mostly suggesting theories about the characters and the question about if the women was cleared from cancer is still a mystery, however this could of been intended by the director to get the audience involved. Overall the clip was enjoyable and had a variety of camera angles and actions in each scene.

Doctor Who Emotional Clip Analysis

Doctor Who Emotional Clip

By Stephanie Rallison

     The clip I will be discussing is a scene from Doctor Who, The end of time; this is the last episode where the Doctor is played by David Tennant. From this scene we see a different side to the Doctor, we the audience see the Doctor as the hero with no fear, he has come close to death many times and still lives another day. But now we see the hero crumbling before us, devastated that he could be dyeing and will be unable to prevent it. We can see the Doctor coming to an end as he slowly breaks down devastated about the idea of him dying like a human, he has been able to cheat death many times but could this be his end?

     The camera is focussed only on the Doctor’s face so the audience can see the fear and true emotion that the Doctor has, but never shows; this is a key scene of the supposing ending of the Doctor’s life. As he stands alone facing death fear surrounds him and all he can say is “I don’t want to go”. His cracking voice adds the breaking of the heroic figure that is the Doctor.  The emotive language tears at the hearts of the audience, the Doctor has always been there to save everyone but he cannot save himself and no one is here to save him.

     The theme of loneliness is very noticeable throughout the scene, the Doctor is an intelligent character but being the last of his kind he has no one to share his knowledge and no one can relate to his life, this makes his life lonely yet mysterious and he hasn’t noticed it as much until this moment standing alone in a large space ship, this can also reflect on his mind a vast amount of knowledge yet only one who can understand it, which is himself.

     The background is slightly blurred only the Doctors face is truly clear this can represent life at a standstill, this can also reflect on the name of the episode “The end of Time”. In addition with slow dramatic music we can feel the presence of death coming closer to the scene. The bright light in the background could represent death, the light to heaven this is unusual because the Doctor doesn’t talk much about an afterlife, could this be a  message showing there are something’s even the Doctor cannot explain.

     Overall the scene is a very dramatic moment which makes everyone who watches it feel emotional as well as they are witnessing the end to a noble character who is never thanked for his actions or his decisions, all he does is arrive, be the hero and nobody ever notices. Almost like a shadow he protects the human race from the true threats in the universe like a parent protecting the innocents of a child.  

Doctor Who Emotional Clip

Hotel Babylon
By Stephanie Rallison
   From the clip of Hotel Babylon we can see it highlights the subject of illegal immigrants. We see another side to this subject with the emotive language from the clip, we learn the hotel staff care for the immigrants and understand they want to work and feel safe.
    
   The opening scene shows two police officers guarding an entrance to a large storage room, one police officer says “we’re just here to stop anyone getting out”, as well as fast tension music slowly building up the audience become interested as the officers line is foreshadowing the next set of events which are yet to unfold.
    
Scene two shows the immigration officers entering the hotel, the camera zooms in on the officers immediately as they enter this is a way of pinpointing the enemy or a key moment, we see the officers walking in a triangle formation with the most dominant character leading the way while the two walk behind almost to represent henchmen. The main officer is wearing casual clothing this adds to his level of power over his henchmen who wear smart suits this can suggest they do their part clean and quietly while the leader does the talking. A member of the public lowers his newspaper to witness the immigration officers enter this adds to the theory that the officers are the enemy and trouble is getting closer. The hotel manager wears a white clean suit this can represent innocents however this makes her stand out more as the other workers wear black suits, this can suggest she is the dominant character in the hotel as she wears different clothing to everyone else.
         
   The background music creates more tension and builds up as it begins to get faster leaving the audience focussed and to keep them interested. As the immigrants are being rushed into a small supply room the camera pans out over a metal gate, this foreshadows the outcome if one of the immigrants gets caught. From this angle we see this small supply room become a prison. The background music cuts off in every scene of the immigrants hiding in this small room these moments of diegetic sounds, as the door to the storage room is being locked the camera angle of all the immigrants in the room, this is done so the audience can hear the fear of deep breathing and prayers from the illegal staff as the rattling of the keys locks them in (an image of prison). As the immigrants enter the supply room (from this angle) there is not much detail/ focus on their faces this shows their identity being hidden which is similar to how they have lived, avoiding any officers so they won’t be caught also how prisoner lose their identity when they become known as a number not a name.
   The main line “I wasn’t always a cleaner” is key about the lives of these immigrants. By one of the immigrants being a doctor shows he is an educated man and would have been in a high position in his country. This immigrant is breaking the stereotype of cleaners not being educated. By noticing small parts of this scene we can build up a background about the man’s life, he wears a wedding ring, this shows he has a family and respects his marriage as he is wearing the ring unlike some married men who don’t wear their wedding rings. In the background two immigrant workers are wearing red clothing which can symbolise danger or anger.

  As one of the immigrants is caught, we can see how the officers who are the henchmen, doing all the work, have grabbed their man and are dragging him away as the main officer looks on grinning, knowing their job is done. The immigrant is wearing a red uniform like his fellow colleges the representation of danger and anger is shown as the worker struggles to break free as he knows what will happen next for him. The scene cuts off and we see Jackie (the woman hiding the immigrants) stroking the diabetic woman’s head, from this we see care and understanding from the Hotel Babylon staff while the immigration officers grab and act rough with Abraham (the immigrant who was caught). This shows they do not understand them and treat their job like a game which was boldly stated when the main officer says “you lost, rules of the game”.  The immigration officers know they have a code so they can have some time to hide the immigrants as shown when the officers entered the hotel the main officer grinned at the manager as she sent a member of staff downstairs, the main officer knew that was their code to hide the immigrants.
   The hotel manager saw some of the immigrants upstairs and told Jackie to take them downstairs this can suggest she does not think much about the immigrants but wants them away from the guests. She then snaps her fingers to try to regain control and get attention, she want to move on from the incident and focus on her job to keep the guests happy by getting them a free drink.
  
   The last scene shows Abrahams locker being cleaned out, with violins being played in the background it shows this is a time for mourning the loss of a college. The camera angle is placed on behind the locker so the audience can see through the eyes of one of the immigrants. The number seventy five could represent the number of immigrant staff which they have lost, this shows the seriousness of immigrants working in the country and if it’s right to let them stay and work or are the immigration officers the good guys. With the key turning just like in the small supply room we see the end to Abraham’s time at hotel Babylon and the foreshadowing moment of the immigrants being locked away has been brought out.
   In conclusion the scenes from Hotel Babylon give a good example of the subject of illegal immigrants working, the clip can create a lot of debate but I believe if immigrants should be allowed to work if they have the right reason to immigrate like Abraham had, if he didn’t leave his country he would have been killed.
