In this weeks work I have learnt about mise-en-scene, editing and camera language for the opening devices of BSR. I created a powermpoint analyzing each of these devices and how they were used in Yasmin, Kidulthood and Made in Britain I have learnt that in BSR the costume used are very basic casual clothing as the characters are usually underclass people who may not be able to afford more up market brands. I have also learnt that the editing is not used a lot it they do include montages as one of the key edits to show locations to connote the theme and genre. The last thing I learnt is that the camera language is simple and they used basic shots such as close-ups and long shots because this type conforms to BSR genre.
Learning about all this will impact my work as I will have more knowledge on the types of costume to include to make the genre obvious, also the minimal edits will be included in my work.
In my opening sequence I will include camera language such as a establishing shot which I saw used in Yasmin which is one of the films I analysed, I though the use of this in the BSR had a big impact as it helped us understand the type of living condition in Britain and gives us a realistic view.
This picture connotes the basic camera work, here we see a mid-shot of the main character Yasmin where we are able to view her facial expression clearly.
I choose this picture as it denotes the under-class status of these characters which
is recognized through their costume. It also shows how these characters are typically under-class british people because most do not give attention towards their appearance.
