However, the fact it is a mid-close up means we still see his room, making the shot seem somewhat welcoming]]> 2017-09-18 13:50:27 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/188465346 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/188470593 After the intro, which dates from his newswipe series, which gives the show an informative feeling right from the start, we hear Charlie Brooker's voice, which is in received pronunciation so he always seems professional in what he says]]> 2017-09-18 13:59:01 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/188470593 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/188473607 The editing is somewhat slow paced, as this scene lasts 8 seconds, which is a trend. The slower paced editing gives a sense that we are being shown through the year at a steady pace, and gives the idea of what the show is like]]> 2017-09-18 14:04:26 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/188473607 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/188476405 In the frame, we see during the dolly zoom there is the tracks for the dolly, which gives the sense that we are seeing behind the scenes somewhat, giving an interesting viewpoint. Charlie himself is dressed in a blazer but with a polo shirt, giving the sense that he doesn't wish to look too formal. His body language is also open, giving us a sense that he will take us on a journey through the year. We also see his background, showing how he has an opening stance.]]> 2017-09-18 14:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/188476405 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189655590 2017-09-21 09:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189655590 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189655898 This screenshot is from a later scene, where we see Brooker walking through Thorpe park, while commenting on the archive footage]]> 2017-09-21 09:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189655898 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189656785 We see a mid shot of Brooker here, which stays a mid shot throughout the scene. This allows us to look at the background while looking at him in detail. This shows that he is of importance; The show is named after him, however it also implies that what is in the background is of note; showing the year is greater than just him and this satirical look at it. It is a tracking shot, which shows that he is guiding us through the year]]> 2017-09-21 09:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189656785 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189658165 We hear him talking through the year, with his trademark deadpan wit being portrayed, saying that 'at least it wasn't 2015', however he also hear a slow, quiet piano tune, showing that it was a somewhat slow start to the year, with it feels like we were going through the motions to a degree]]> 2017-09-21 09:20:05 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189658165 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189658852 The editing is even slower paced, as this scene lasts 15 seconds. This gives the sense of a slow start to the year, one that seemed hopeful in comparison to the charlie hebdo shootings of the previous year]]> 2017-09-21 09:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189658852 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189659963 We see him still wearing his smart casual get up; therefore showing that it is his style, showing that he presents his show seriously, however he doesn't take himself too seriously, showing the tone of his show. We see plenty of the background, however he is front and centre in the frame; this shows that it is important to focus on him, as he is guiding us through the year. However, our eyes do glance the background, which is of a theme park. This presents the idea that the year was a roller coaster, with the fact we see multiple showing that a lot happened through the year]]> 2017-09-21 09:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189659963 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189661892 2017-09-21 09:36:34 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189661892 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189661960 This screenshot is from a talking heads segment, which is used to introduce us to the other characters used to comment on the archive footage, which are Philomena Cunk and the one we see here, Barry Shitpeas]]> 2017-09-21 09:36:58 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189661960 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189662556 We see a mid close up, that occasionally switches to a close up later on, which portrays the emotion, or relative lack of, on each character, in order to empathize the fact that they are either played deadpan or with some emotion. They are also to the left or right of the shot, which could be used to empathize they are secondary characters to Charlie Brooker]]> 2017-09-21 09:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189662556 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189663424 We hear the voices of both characters- Both somewhat rural to parody the typical talking heads that are random people they picked off the street, which contrasts with Brooker's Received Pronunciation, showing who is in charge to a degree. In the background we hear music related to what they are talking about- here we hear David Bowie as they are commenting on his death. There is a use of Voice of God from Shitpeas as he is talking about a misinformation of Bowies many characters, which is used to show his intelligence, which humour is derived from, with the same being true for cunk, however her voice is completely deadpan, which also adds to the humour]]> 2017-09-21 09:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189663424 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189664558 The editing quickens during this segment, with this small scene lasting 3 seconds, which contrasts with the scenes featuring Brooker. This is used to empathize that they are small characters, and not on the same level as brooker, however it is also used to give us plenty of information, like Cunk's comment about 'Making love with his eagle]]> 2017-09-21 09:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189664558 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189665382 As stated, the fact that he is on the right of the frame, and cunk is on the left of the frame, shows them to be literal side characters to brooker, who is almost always shown as central in the frame. We also see them to be wearing either smart or casual clothing, with Cunk and Shitpeas dressed as such respectively. This, combined with the green background of cunk and the red of Shitpeas, implies they are almost like the Devil and angel of Brooker, with the mid close up making them seem smaller than him]]> 2017-09-21 09:50:53 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/189665382 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190042990 2017-09-22 09:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190042990 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190043068 This screenshot is of the segments used throughout the show, when brooker is sitting down watching the archive footage and commenting to camera]]> 2017-09-22 09:13:45 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190043068 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190043915 A wide shot is used in order to show both Brooker, however in order to show the background, mwhich takes up most of the frame, which implies that the background is of importance. The fact he is in the rightmost third further empathizes the importance of the background, as our eyes are attracted to him, however he knows that the audience looks at that quadrant, showing he knows about the rules of cinematography]]> 2017-09-22 09:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190043915 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190355480 We hear Brooker's voice commenting on the events in the  film he is showing, in which he says 'calmly debate the issues in a dignified manner' in regards to a somewhat petty fight, which he does in order to poke fun at the events of the year. In the background we hear a somewhat intense soundtrack, showing that while this included funny moments, it was still a tense moment in the year, as they are talking about the run up to brexit. A use of Voice of god is used in the scene interspliced with this segments in order to show Brooker's power and his status of a tour guide for the year]]> 2017-09-23 09:17:52 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190355480 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190355890 Editing- The editing quickens to the same degree as the talking heads segments earlier, as it is a somewhat similar form, as the majority of the commentary around this point is VOG over archive footage, the bit following this lasting 14 seconds, showing the fact the year has sped up in its events, with brooker taking a literal back seat in the lengths of his cuts, showing the year is much more powerful than him]]> 2017-09-23 09:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190355890 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190356607 It is the background in this shot that is of note. As stated, Brooker is literally taking a back seat now the events of the year has started, showing that he is letting the year speak for itself in many degree, with him sitting with the viewer, showing he is along for the ride too, which may make the viewer feel more comfortable. Indeeed, in the background, we see many pictures that sum up the year, included the year in bold captions, a framed pictured of Donald Trump and Theresa May showing the fact they both took office of their respective countries, the Brexit Bus about the claim about the NHS, linked with a 'Save the NHS' sign, and a framed picture of a clown alongside a mask of one, linking to those who dressed up as clowns in the tail end of the year, showing this scene is used to show the events of the year]]> 2017-09-23 09:26:10 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190356607 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190358065 2017-09-23 09:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190358065 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190358122 This title is stating what month in the year Brooker will focus on next, in order to present it in an organised way]]> 2017-09-23 09:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190358122 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190358341 In this computer generated screenshot, the title of the month we are looking at is in the direct middle of the frame. This brings our eyes to in, which empathizes the importance of the month, and states a switch in topic]]> 2017-09-23 09:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190358341 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190358633 In the case of this month, we hear a very quick change in topic, from the somber tone of brexit, to a more upbeat if only because it is less importance comment about Top Gear. This is shown in a tonal shift from a sad piano tune in a minor key, to a more upbeat drum beat, in order to show that life continued as usual, in order to give the viewer comfort to a degree]]> 2017-09-23 09:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190358633 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190358994 This is also a quick cut, lasting only 3-4 seconds, and it is used for two reasons. It is used in order to state the fact there is a month change and a tonal shift, and also to mask the tonal shift, as it would be more jarring to switch straight from a depressing segment on brexit to a more upbeat section on top gear. The fact it cuts between these two is in order to not give the audience a burden to which to listen to]]> 2017-09-23 09:42:25 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190358994 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190359571 This title is used also to keep up the brand image of the show. We see the font used for the titles, alongside the tiles, like those in the intro. This is used to show the Brooker is professional in his production of his show, in that he knows he must keep up the brand image, which he has kept in this form since 2013. This shows his knowledge of the industry, which gives the viewer confidence in watching. The colours are somewhat faded, and involve a lot of blues, which give a calming atmosphere to them]]> 2017-09-23 09:46:50 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190359571 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190360766 2017-09-23 09:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190360766 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190360872 This screenshot is taken from one of the archive footage segments, and shows what they look like]]> 2017-09-23 09:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190360872 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190360986 As the camerawork is taken straight from the news, it differs from the rest of the show as it is fairly standard. In here we see Micheal gove in a mid close up, which shows that he is the focus of the scene, in the fact he takes up the frame showing that he is the focus of the news, and indeed this small segment]]> 2017-09-23 09:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190360986 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190361262 Brooker uses VOG in order to call back to a time he used this previously, which gives the audience a sense of foreshadowing, especially those who remember the year well. 'Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary' is playing in the background, calling back to A Clockwork Orange. This gives the audience a sense of foreboding, and dread, for those who know what is happening]]> 2017-09-23 09:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190361262 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190361751 The Repetition of this bit of the archive footage gives us a sense of foreshadowing, about how even though Gove said he wouldn't consider a leadership bid, Brooker calls back to this bit of footage when talking about the leadership of the country. This foreshadows his next action of going for the leadership. The fact we see a caption spliced in shows the fact that this was sourced from news footage, with permission, showing the professionalism of the show]]> 2017-09-23 10:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190361751 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190362320 We see in this that Gove is being interviewed, and mainly his facial expression, showing that he is lying to an audience, which gives the sense that we cannot trust this man. The fact that the caption is there shows that this is mainly used for comedy purposes, and not the original use, showing the professional quality of the show]]> 2017-09-23 10:04:41 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190362320 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190362794 2017-09-23 10:08:06 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190362794 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190362954 This screenshot is from a musical interlude, showing Brooker's opinion on the election of Donald Trump to the post of President of the USA]]> 2017-09-23 10:09:14 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190362954 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190363074 The camerawork here is again taken from News footage, so the mid shot is used to show his power to the American people. However, in this case, it is used in conjuction with sound and editing in order to make fun of him, rather than show his power, which makes the scene somewhat comedic in nature]]> 2017-09-23 10:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190363074 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190363398 The sound here is used to contrast with the source. We hear a beat in the background, turning some of his speeches, including his speech about gaining the presidency, into a rap about how he will be a bad president, which gives it less depth than it would have previously, which is used to make the news somewhat easier to handle]]> 2017-09-23 10:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190363398 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190363924 There is plenty of cuts even between words here, so none last more than a second. The editing used here is twofold therefore, one to make him rap about what Brooker wants him to, making it seem like he is admitting how he will be a bad president, and there is a subtle but noticeable orange filter, making fun of his fake tan and the fact he always wears it, which just gives the scene a happier atmosphere than it would have previously]]> 2017-09-23 10:15:33 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190363924 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190364814 There is a contrast here, between the news footage, which has a lot of American Flags in the background, which Trump used to show he is a patriot to his country, and the subtles added in, which use a serif font, but drawn roughly, to make Trump seem less professional, and even to show what they believe of trump; that he pretends to be professional, but this is merely a facade, and he is really a rough candidate]]> 2017-09-23 10:21:09 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190364814 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190365461 2017-09-23 10:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190365461 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190365541 Finally, this last screenshot is taken from the 5 minute segment that ends the film, in the 'Moments of wonder' done by one of the commentators, Phliomena Cunk]]> 2017-09-23 10:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190365541 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190365652 There is a wide shot here, that is also a two shot. This is used in order to show the background, however that Cunk and her interviewee, Brain Cox, are of equal importance, however that they are also of contrast in some ways. This is used to give the segment it's trademark professional feeling, in comparison to the rest of the show which is merely a review of the year]]> 2017-09-23 10:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190365652 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190366062 The sound featured here is a subtle Piano, which is used to give the scene a calm mood, in contrast to the rest of the show, which is more hectic, which shows that Brooker uses this to give his reviews a calm and collected ending. We also here cunks voice over it all, showing that this is her segment, showing her role as a side character is more important than shitpeas]]> 2017-09-23 10:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190366062 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190366266 The editing here is fairly slow paced, as it is a parody of professional documentary makers like Michael Moore and David Attenborough. As such, the cut featured here lasts 4 seconds, and it is merely a segment connecting the interview and the VOG segments by cunk, showing this has a somewhat different mood than the rest of the review, which show cunk as a stronger character, with a more professional standing than Brooker, even if she is just a side character]]> 2017-09-23 10:30:26 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190366266 user_1412155504 https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190366839 We see a varied use of colours here, showing that it isn't trying to evoke a specfic mood, rather it is just attempting to look nice. The background shows a library, which is used to show that Brain Cox is a clever man who knows his stuff, showing the reasoning for choosing him to interview rather than a different man. We see them both in professional wear, showing the professional feeling, however the fact they sit of opposites sides of the frame show that one will be serious in what he's saying, and the other will evoke deadpan humour. The light in the background is in the centre of the frame, which is showing the welcoming place that Cox is in]]> 2017-09-23 10:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412155504/wa5wwz8ohtql/wish/190366839
