Review of Lesson 19/11/2009 - Ellie Mannix


Today in lesson, we started by choosing and researching a genre. As a group we chose ‘western’ as a starter genre as we thought it would be an interesting and a different genre to familiarize ourselves with as it was totally unknown to all of us in the group. Bridget and I spent time researching the conventions, cinematography and various western films, evidently familiarising ourselves with this specific genre. I enjoyed finding different conventions from different websites such as www.filmsite.org/genre to learn more about this genre. We also used www.youtube.com to associate ourselves with these conventions, finally learningand portraying our theory work into a production from youtube.

Natalie and Catherine also researched Western films, they researched the film: Stagecoach, Directed by John Ford in 1939. As a pair they analysed a chase sequence and an opening sequence from the movie which founded on www.youtube.com. By analysing these sequences, we as a group can now understand and reinforce what should or shouldn't be done.
