Action Adventure Glossary

Let's hear it for the good people at Long Road Media in Cambridge again. They've got a brilliant glossary of terms for Action Adventure movies on their Action Adventure blog (and you thought we were slightly strange for having one blog for the whole cluster). It covers lots of special effect terms which will help you spot different effects when we get back to doing a bit of textual analysis.

Day After Tomorrow Homework

As discussed in class today, I'd like you to write about the use of all five technical codes - camera, sound, effects, editing and mise-en-scene - in the second half of the extract. Remember, write in the present tense and try to convey a sense of the extract as it happens. By doing this you will force yourself to write about all five codes at once because the camera only makes sense when discussed in conjunction with sound etc.
It doesn't matter if you repeat detail mentioned by earlier posts. What I'm interested in looking at is how you structure your response. Can you post by next Monday night - 17th December.
