script for short film

Act 1 - Our hero Currage finds himself cowering under a bridge at night, here he recounts his story.

Currage: It was the government, always the government, we never knew they could turn on their own people but they did, and they were cruel. It started with the Muslims, scared of a terrorist attack the police had them all carry ID cards with tracking devices. [Cut to footage of Nick Griffin on Question Time]. People wouldn't have it, said it was unacceptable. That's how the trouble started.

Notes on allisonmedia.net's booklet on representation.

1. All media is 'mediated': it's been censored and changed in some way and everything we see is deliberate. When reality is mediated it becomes a representation of reality.

Technical analysis of 'The Pursuit of Happyness'

Following my first analysis of the pursuit of happyness, here's the second one based on the mise-en-scene and shot types used in the second half of the film. It has occurred to me that this is going to be little more than a summary of my notes, that's fine as long as it's well formatted.

Lights. Camera. Action.

This is a short film from RoosterTeeth, a company well known among the internet community for making execllent Halo machinima.

Juxtaposed and Anchored image

The source of this image is a photographer called Martin Argles (google him, he's a photographer for the Guardian). Nick Clegg is just gesturing with his hands, however his position allows me to give meaning to that by suggesting that he's demonstrating the size of the fish he caught last weekend. Instead of anchoring the original meaning, I have subverted it for the purposes of humour. This is actually juxtaposition so I'll name it as such.
