Video Trolley

A podcast looking at a scene from various Films used at second level mainly the Irish system JC/SC but we all love film.

Shot/reverse-shot is a fundamental of film language.
Here I look at how ut is used in Sing Street.

This was great fun but, thanks to Natasha, also full of insights and observations that will help teachers of Drama, Film and Theatre.
Natasha is brilliant.
Also, we discuss how depressed fairy lights look during the day.
Should they be brought in during daylight?

Arrived today.
European Art Cinema is one of the options for the prescribed film section of the new Drama, Film and Theatre course.
Not easily defined, but easily described, I'm hoping to clarify it with some Elsasser insights.

Interesting that a lot of fans of James Gunn's "Superman" don't see that he's very overtly doing "the descent of Christ into Hades" in the three days between Superman turning himself into the authorities and his triumphant return to Metropolis.

There's even a Charon and a Styx.

Half way through box 3 of the Bergman boxsets.

My first time going on the radio as a "film buff."
Nothing to do with education!
All about James Bond.

✨There is so much to dive into here. This study by Barbara Oakley stood out for me. I remember seeing her at @researchED1 Dublin a few years back @sccenglish.
Thank you for putting all of these together @C_Hendrick

Today's film is Winter Light, Ingmar Bergman, 1963.

A great book on the, well, eventful life and work of Bergman.
His work in film was more obviously biographical, and personal, than his work in theatre, but he was a master of both.
Highly recommended.

Really enjoying this book, especially as I'm currently working my way through the BFI boxsets.

Maybe if we looked at how it was put together, all those diverse people in harmony, maybe looking at this side of the camera we can help fix what was discussed on the other side.

The thing about the oner in Adolescence is that you are never taken out of the moment (except once but that feels intentional) unlike in something like Children of Men where you are constantly reminded of the wizardry.
But this leads to a film of two emotions, two states.

[Video Trolley @TrolleyVideo]

Adolescence is as good as they say.
The one take, the oner, episodes are more than a trick, you're immersed in the story. You can't escape. The realism of the locations, the naturalism of the acting, dig into your emotions and squeeze and squeeze without the exhale of a cut.

[Video Trolley @TrolleyVideo]

The first is the film itself.
But the second is the collaborative endeavour of putting it all together. The skill, expertise, knowledge, practice and, above all, trust in a group of creative and technical people.
An incredibly moving achievement in itself.

[Video Trolley @TrolleyVideo]

There's a common practice of moving the camera on a moment of emotional change during a monologue, camera facing the character that changes.
In the 3rd episode this is nicely subverted by the camera moving on moment a character not facing the camera realises something.
Wonderful

This also expands the world of the show. Weare shown that, although we're looking at a certain family, look at all these other people affected by the events, or affected by the world the events stemmed from.

And all of this before we discuss the almost Shakespearean use of sound
