Welcome to your Year 12 Bayside Media Blog
Every week you will be required to respond to one question posted here. My hope is that as you see each other’s work and I correct it, you will be able to learn from each other. This way your learning will be much richer and hopefully more enjoyable.
Have fun

Task 6: Compare
Compare (similarities) the motivation of the leading character in both texts. What drives them to make the decisions they do. What are their main sources of conflict? How do they overcome this conflict?
Task 1: Setting
The setting includes the time and place that the film occurs in. It is easy to ignore the setting as it seems a natural backdrop for the film, however, it is often used to create meaning and enhance the storyline. Is the setting integral to the storyline? Could it be set somewhere else? If so how would this affect the interpretation of the film?
Use these images to comment on the setting of ‘Run Lola Run’. - time + place etc. Why was it chosen for this film? Discuss the director’s ( Tom Twyker’s) use of set design. What impressions does it create for the audience? How does the setting contribute to the narrative? ( Does it add meaning to the story?) How does it contribute to the development of the characters?
Task 2: Mise en scene/ Visual Composition
Visual Composition includes
- everything within the frame,
- the placement of the elements within the frame,
- the use of foreground, background and ‘rule of thirds’.
These elements can be expressive or naturalistic. Analyse the visual composition of this shot. Begin by describing what is in the frame- foreground etc including set design, costume, props, colour, texture, framing and movement within the frame. Then discuss the meanings and messages intended by the director in creating this frame design.
