In This scene we see two different sides of Bond. The first side is commanding and serious whilst Vesper is not ready to be docile, this can be scene when Bond tells her to go and she stands there making him repeat himself but harsher. Bond also look strong and very masculine whilst killing the other male, this connotes strength but also shows he is able to protect himself from harm and others too, as Vesper looks on frighten and is taking in what has just happens.
In the shower scene Vesper is sitting in the fetal position rocking back and forth in the shower, she tells Bond "I have got so much blood on my hands" To this Bond takes her hands and sucks on them, this represent wiping away the blood clean. This is very shocking to the audience would not take this as comforting someone but having sexual desires however when he takes her in more we can see that there is a sense of comfort, he is not longer rough but does not completely give in as he wants her to understand that working with him causes a lot of blood to be on your hands.
He hold her hands tightly to show that he is going to be with her through out the steps of the journey so she does not have to worry about being alone. Even though Bond had just changed into the clothes he is changing he goes into the shower, it connotes that when she is in danger that no matter rain or sunshine he will be there to protect her.

How do you know what to watch if it is new?
- I just look at the teasers that have come out and if they appeal to me i would find out about the genre to see if i really like it, because most of the time the put out things on T.V and when you go to watch it, it is not what you thought it to be.

If you look up what the media means it means: The mass media is a diversified collection of media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication. The technologies through which this communication takes place include a variety of outlets.
I asked one adult a teenager and a nine year old child to tell me what the thought about the media and these were the different responses. different ages see the media in a different light. For example the young child find herself using youtube to get most of her information, she also felt that media was only for entertainment.
Whereas the adult felt that mostly the news was informative but could be used for other things.
The teenager felt the purpose of the media however for to keep in contact with family and friends via Whats App or Instagram if not for that then for entertainment purposes only.

High angles
Low angles
This is opposite of high angle as this makes you look dominant, usually this is firstly used on the antagonist and then after near the end used on the protagonist.
This is when the camera follows the scene horizontally

Extreme close up
Different Editing styles that we might use in our film:
Jump cuts
This is an abrupt cut to another scene to another, it usually does not look smooth but can be, they help move along a sequence faster.
tracking shot
this is used when wanting to follow a certain characters movements, they use tracking shots in sports as well.
Hand held
This is used to show dis-function of a character and make the scene look more realistic.
Cross cutting
This is when you have two scenes playing together but in different locations. sometimes (as seen in Rush Hour two) they could be in the same location but in different areas of the room.
CGI is very complex use of media but when done properly can be very effective for example in Planet of the Apes they used CGI to en-chance the humans to look like animals. They also used CGI on the buildings to make it look more in there habitat.
CGI
Different type of typography used in different genres:
Because they are different genres to get the movie would have different typography, this depends on the type of affect they want to have on there audience. Sometimes they are small and bold to have more of the focus on the actual event happening in the poster rather than the title so it s left simple, this is seen in Action/ Thriller movies for example Train to Busan goes big to small to big this could be connoting that when they think everything is fine and safe disruption starts up again, the boldness of the writing could also connote that whatever is causing the tragedy is bigger than they are. others genre such as SciFi express their films through the typography for example Metropolis makes the letters more pointed making it look dangerous and a bit messy.

Similarities in posters of films by Christpher Nolan
The similarities that Christopher Nolan does with his films posters is that they usually have few words sentences, like the ones above, the text is usually simplistic but stand out a lot from the dark background, however still being dark in color itself. The background of the poster will always be mysterious and not very clear, however the genre of the movie can sometimes be very obvious to the audience that want to watch his films. They also always look very sophisticated which makes it seem more intriguing and intriguing to older audiences.
Film studios/ behind the scenes footage
The Dark knight was filmed in Chicago, Hong Kong and the UK. Some of the scenes were shot in the air in Scotland and in Birmingham.
As with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight (as well as Nolan's Inception), sets were built in one of the two huge airship hangars at Cardington in Bedfordshire, north of London. Three miles south of Bedford, the Cardington Hangars are ideally suited to large-scale film making – they’re the largest structures of their kind in Europe. (Wikipedia)
