For this task we learnt what diegetic and non diegetic sounds are. Diegetic sound is the sound the characters can hear within the film, an example of this is a gun shot. None diegetic is the sound the characters can’t hear in the film. An example of this is music which adds tension within a scene. I also had to use my knowledge of diegetic and none diegetic sound and analyse the fight scene from Return Of The Jedi.

Movement For Meaning
For this task we had to make a short reel of particular types of camera movement shots which help create meaning for the audience. Each of the shots exemplfied are filmed by me, I used particular locations and setting to help convey meaning. I also used some small comments on what the shot is and what it conveys.

This Is England Context
This is my poster which signifies the falklands war, this is one of the main key contexts exemplfied in the film this is England we had to research. Learning from this had allowed me to understand the key struggles conveyed during the falklands war and why it happend, also how it affected Argentina and the UK after the war.
After getting my result back for my shawshank redemption essay and reading the feedback I made a few errors and also a few good points.
what I could improve upon after reading the feedback:
- Use TEAS and to try and strucutre it in a thematic way, rather than doing it in chronological order.
- always analyse each example with key points.
- when describing the story always link it back to the key themes and the context.
After looking at the feedback when I do my next essay I will focus on giving examples with some key points. And rather than making my essay in chronilogical order, I will need to relate it to a particular subject. Also when describing the story I need to always link it back to the question and the key themes.

British Social Realism
British social realism focuses more on social class and signifes how particular people cope within the enviroment.
shown below is some features and descriptions of the repertoire of elements:
There are two ways in documentaries which signify meaning to the audience, these are distance and present.
Distance is when they can sometimes be signified giving a birds eye view which gives an overview of the subject matter. This gives the audience a sense of control and an overlooking view with what’s going on.
Present is when we are placed right into the action and at a personal perspective. This makes the audience feel they are there in the moment.
This is England is based on the story of Shane Meadows the director of the movie and tackles the particular events about his youth. It follows the events of Shaun who had lost his father during the falklands war, along the way we see how Shaun gets teased at school and then a group of skinheads see him upset and begins to earn the recognition of the skinheads.
British social realism is about particular narrative themes these include poverty, tough family dynamics, unemplyment benefit systems, and crime/ illegal activities.
