The Royal Tenenbaums

In this lesson we had to research about the film "The royal Tenenbaums", we had to analysis the opening scene of this clip and from the clip we had to consentrate on a certain character and analysis all the devices of "mise en scene" and also find examples on the 5 codes.

I chosen Margo, the reason why i chosen Margo is that from as soon as the first 2 minutes showed it was the easiest to read her body language and the style of acting she was trying to express. Also the camera angles told made a story for her . e.g as shes in her room its just her in a middle shot and also the setting makes it as if its just her on stage so we know she lonely and she likes to keep things to herself (e.g the door "keep out").

How i evaluted the Margo essay was that the class watched the clip about 3-4 times and every time we watched the opening scene we had to write down notes which may link to mise en scene and the 5 codes. When i was looking at my notes i put them into short sentences to make to work easier for my-self and make it more successful than spending more time to come up with things.
After that i put the essay in place as theres a opening main body and closing statement so i done a brief plan on the sentences, where they gonna go, and how they will make sense for e.g on my notes i put "Margo was a .... (describe feelings and ways she acts upon .... CAMERA / SETTING / etc...) and from these ideas i generated a final essay which i think i did rather well in.



What i could of improved from this that i could of maybe introduced some of the colour to show her emotions and also took abit more time being careful with my sentences and spelling that they made sense and people could understand what i was saying and relating to the factors of media.
But overall i think im improved on understand different techinques that people use in flims and how i can read of them in a more easy way.
