English: SDL on Film Aspects

In English, we are working on definitions and explaining the film aspects and how they affect the film. These are the first two of them of the chosen four I have done so far. the four I have chosen are POV- Point of view, Colour of film, OTS - Over the shoulder, and Tone in film. I am not sure If I had answered these accurately as I could but good enough.











------- 
(I don't know how to answer the last two questions because I haven't watched the movie and I am not bothered to find relevant information about the movie)

Surrealist Subversion - AS 90913 v4 internal assessment 4 credits - Literacy (Post 4)

Surrealist Subversion                                             

Original: Giorgio de Chirico, The Mystery and Melancholy of a Street, 1914, oil on canvas (Private Collection)




 Describe the artwork:

Gives the feeling of lost empty, deserted, it gives a feeling of confusion dullness loneliness, as the girl is heading towards the unknown light off into the distance. This piece can also give an eerie feel as the girl is shown to be alone.  As the unknown figure can be seen in a shadow in the distance hidden behind the building it really gives you to feel to find out who the exact figure. As it's described in the name a 'mystery'. It is a real mystery to find out how it's really meant to be interpreted as personally.

Sofia Minson - AS 90913 v4 internal assessment 4 credits - Literacy (Post 3)

Subversion through recolonizing

Notes on video;

Unity in diversity shines throughout Sofia's work, myths legends, etc she gets from her Maori culture and links them to other cultures, and combines them together in her pieces. Some of her works are named after Maori goddesses. She wants them to be seen as more of their ancestors.

Piece of her work: Twelve Heavens



Brief description: This painting used the effect of replicating the same image around in

a circle, it really gives a slight feel of the gate that isn't human but a

reflection of time going by. The white complements the black greatly and in the pattern, it kind of gives the feel of it warping out of the white canvas.  It also gives the feel of a clock or an animation reel.

Does it show Subversion and so

Subversion is shown in the many repetitions of the same person in the circle making it stand out and out of the ordinary. as it put standing out of the page in the ring. as it gives the feel of it being a focal point opening up.

Burning forest

Today in class I watched a video about a burning forest burning for 60 seconds. In this video was posted in 2018 the location not shown that I know was marveled by the flames. I watched this video due to recently answering a quiz jokingly, as one of the places you want to go to. Burning forest.  Even though burning foresty is not a good thing, the colour in this scene is a beautiful colour with yellow, orange, pink, and the blueish purple.  How it changed over time was unexpected to these colours their vibrant nature when night came around it really showed. This screenshot is taken 46 seconds in. This is the link. (there is no commentary I believe)

Subversion as a compositional framework 


Each individual thing is either relating to one each other or confronting/battling the other than many squares surrounding the word 'gossip' small fish, triangles, and korus are used in many different ways. The colours used are different tones of red and orange and hints of white and black in the mix. the first thing I look at is the swirls clashing with one and another. the objects that are used seem to be random a mixture of three things, fish, triangles, korus and swirls. To me, this artwork gives a feeling a very different feel with the word gossip as some of the many squares could relate to that as the way they are being presented. like chatter, separating as in linking to how the fish are presented by. as for the many swirls in the bottom left corner represent the presence of gossip in a way. and the many triangles could represent the sharpness of the chatter.
