Homeland Essay

 Homeland Representation Essay:

In this Crime TV Drama, ‘Homeland’, we see the Representation of Women being Uplifted. In this Short extract Women are being Represented as being Bold, Strong-willed, and Persistent. In this film we see a Lady named Carrie Mathison standing up for someone who is in a tough situation. With this we also see the Contrast between Men and Women, Men being seen as rough, aggressive and violent, and women seen as Carrie. Carrie is one of the Main Characters in this Short Extract, we see this through the eyes of the camera as it Quick cuts to different Shots of her also linking to how her voice is also the main dialogue heard as well.

This links to the Sound Bridge that is created when the Prisoner is looking out the bar windows of his cell but the voice is of Carrie who was evidently talking about the man in the prison cell, linking to how the story of the Short extract wraps around the man in prison called Ibrahim. The Camera shots are all hand-held and shaky creating meaning to the place in which the film is set in being Iraq. In the film we are given an establishing Shot of Baghdad, it is dull and has an almost dusty ambience to it that helps set the scene.

Leading to my next point of the Contrasting factor of Ethnicities between the people of the US and the people of Iraq.

Preliminary Task Two - Final Edit.

  Here is my Final Edit. The After Effects that I have used in my film include the following: Our Production logo that is shown at the very beginning of the film, this is counted as one of my after effects as I took time to Update the logo from the original to what it is now. As you can see the difference when you watch my Preliminary Task One and then my Preliminary Task Two.  My Other After Effects used is the credits, when the names 'Niav Rice' & 'Pheobe Armitage', this after effect is called a slow fade animation on letters. An extra After Effect I added was a 'Glitch' On one of my actors, this one is not visible at first but you can definitely see the glitch, this Effect is used 0:25 seconds into the short film.
