Analysing the Church Fight Scene from Kingsman: The Secret Service (Filmmaking 101 - Boot Camp)

* WARNING*  – This post contains videos and images that include strong bloody violence, viewer discretion is advised. This may also contain spoilers. Task: Find a creative shot you like in a film, try and workout how it's done and work out how you could repeat the style yourself. The creative shot that I will be analysing is the famous church fight scene (shot by George Richmond) from the 2014 film Kingsman: The Secret Service (directed by Matthew Vaughn). The scene takes place in a hate group's church in Kentucky, U.S.A, where Kingsman agent, Harry Hart (Colin Firth), tries to uncover the evil plans of billionaire Richmond Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson) and what connection he has to this church. Once Valentine sees Hart is in the church he activates his SIM cards, that are held within many of the hate group members phones, that trigger a signal to make everyone in the church become murderously violent. This then leads to insanely brilliant fight sequence, ...

Unit 4: Critical and Contextual Awareness in Creative Media Production - Tasks 1B, 2A & 2B: Pre-Production Diary - Music Video

Tuesday 7th January 2020 This was our first and only day of being introduced to the production of music videos before starting on our big project.

J made it clear that she wanted it to link back to the lyrics of her song, which discuss about her adolescence and when she was bullied at school.

Unit 5: Investigating Audio Production and Technology - Task 1: Production File and Analysis - Podcast

Comparison and Analysis of Two Podcasts The podcasts that I have compared and analysed are "Black Girl Film Club" and "The Bechdel Cast" I thought it would be a good idea to look at these two podcasts in particular as they include female hosts discussing their opinions and perspectives of films, as well as discussing about female representation, if it is realistic enough and if they represent female minorities. The episodes from both podcasts I have listened to are: "Black Girl Film Club" - Episode 34: Booksmart (2019) "The Bechdel Cast" - Booksmart with Vanessa Chester I decided to pick to episodes from each podcast about the same film to see if they both have the same opinions and thoughts on the 2019 film "Booksmart" (directed by Olivia Wilde), as well as how the hosts perceive the film and if they believe this is an accurate representation of women.  "Booksmart" is a film about overachieving best frien...
