Noir elements of opening:

Setting:

• Always dark, cold, made through dark lighting and rain, always grey.
• Constant raining
• Cold day
• Grey and dark mood
• The buildings abandoned, the detective through the rain, probably cold with two coffies on his hand.
• Involving homicides.
• City police building, looks like a prison, type of lines like a laberint.
• Showing what day is in big.
• Showing a second murdered by a newspaper
• No morality, for example when they kill Victor, how they find it, FILM NOIR.
• Abandoned house of the victim, it looks really cold 
• Library show like a laberint 

Sound:

• The sound try to give us tension
• Diagetic sounds
• Sound depends on characters 

Characters:

• Vestiment, dark colours, not colorful clothes.
• David Mills: A lot of media, more people.
• William Somerset: Dark investigation, he is alone in the investigation, this show us the different worlds that the two detectives have. 
• Switching between the two detectives to compare them
•  How Mills investigate the case, seeing photos to solve something, and how the other read and fotocopy a book to solve the crime.
• Mills do a shortcut of Dante poetry because he don´t like to read, in the other hand the other detective read all the book in the library and also do fotocopies 

Pulp Fiction comments:

Textual analysis:

-Narrative: “Chilled”/relaxed/cool

Theme(s)/ concerns/mood

Characters: Vega-drug dependary, lots of close-ups, middle of mise-en-scene, camera follows him, strange/alternative/rebellious. Dialogue about piercings, sexual pleasure, relationships between husband wife (sense of normality), ditch angle shots

Camera/sound/mise-en-scene: Music, dream-like guitars-lighting-drugs are highlighted in close up. Colours: white and red. Slow movements. Injection in slow motion

"Tree house"

Strengths:

-Music, can be in the moment that is needed and is good.
-Editing the document.

Weaknesses:

-Bad dialogue.
-Is not a theme that cautivate audience.

The production journal of "Tree house" can be good. In some parts they don´t do reflections at all stages.
The sample materials that they used, they explain where they tak from, what they used, how they put the camera to determine some shots.
They do an evaluation of the project finished and they can improve their project with more organization.

Production Journals Thursday 1st September 2011

Now, we have the film material to edit and work on it. We have the material that we film and with what we have to work to do and interesting documental about 4-5 minutes long. First, we do a copy of the material and then we work on changing B-ROLL footage. We work along an hour through this, to have our documental in the best form possible.

"Super size me"

1. Jump cuts, a voice in the backround of the image giving statistics about Mc Donnalds and obesity. This give the impression that is more real, also when people speak they don´t see the camera is more real, they don´t care if someone is filming them, is the same for the people that is being interviewed.

2. Sometimes yes because we have to know about what their are speaking about and centralize in the theme but other time we know about what they are speaking about.

3. The camera is used a lot of times, middle shots, most time of the interviews and they change sometimes to demonstrate other things medium close up. This allow the space for objects.

4. The camera most of the times is still, in the middle of the interview can change and show other things, like compare something.

5. All the interviews show us the backround of the people that is interviewing, show us were the people work or take an idea of the people that is interview.

6. They only give to us the relevant information, is a short time of the interview and to us important information.

7. Spurlock tell us through the movie that he chose Mc Donnalds to do the documentary because Mc Donnalds don´t give the information of the calories that a hamburguer of Mc Donnalds have.

Production Journals. Monday 29th August.

Monday, a monday of hard work that we have to do, in Tuesday 23rd we get out to the streets to film our documentary movie. We have some problems here, because some people dont want to be film by us, or they want to be film but not the face, so we have to film some images of the place without the person that is being interviewed, also we use a sound-recorder to have a best record of what people said, so the sound, we can hear it. Also, we cant film a bus driver that was our idea, but was really difficult to do this. Finally another problem that we may have to affront was the sound, we have to carry a voice recorder to have a better sound and then introduce it after with the images of the camera, the battery of the camera dont was a problem because we carry two or more cameras.

Production Journals Thursday, August 18.

18 August, we work in the documentary planning. Our documentary ovbiously is made up with a lot of interviews. The interviews have to be seem profesional. To help us with the interviews we see interviews of the documental "Super Size me". We saw the techniques of the camera, to introduce the audience to the interview subjects, we analyze if the question is really needed to show for the audience, the research that Spurlock have to do to create the documental and finally the movement of the camera. Taking all this, Tuesday 23rd we can go out to the streets and film the main part of our documental!
