PHOTOSHOOT RECAP
On Wednesday we began our test photo-shoot. I was partnered with Charlie and my role in the photo-shoot was to be the model and Charlie was the photographer. For our photo-shoot I wore a Japanese kimono and chopsticks in my hair, after some trouble with how to wear the kimono we went searching for a spot to shoot in. As soon as we came out of the classroom I noted that there was a cherry blossom tree (at least I think that's what it was). From my knowledge of Japanese culture I know that Cherry blossom trees are native to Japan and are often featured in Japanese anime for example '5 centimetres per second '.
We soon began shooting and I realised that posing as a model was not my strongpoint as I don't know how to pull a straight face... But soon Amber and Ollie came to the rescue and Amber began directing me on how to pose which was a great help. Even so it was hard to get the right photo of me. Soon Mrs Mann came along and helped us with getting the correct pose and lighting for the shoot in front of the tree. After a while we got some good quality photos of myself and Amber earing the Kimono.

HERO EXTRACT ANALYSIS
Mis-men-scene
In the extract the scenery is very oriental, it is set in the courtyard of a temple. You can tell that it is set somewhere in Asia, most likely China because of the architecture of the temple and the clothing that the 3 characters shown in the extract are wearing. Jet li and Donnie Yen both wear traditional chinese mens robes, the old man also wears something similar. Not only the clothing but the weapons they use for example the sword that Jet Li uses is very traditionally Chinese.
Editing
In the extract Jet Li is seen to lunge into the air and remain there for quit some time in slow motion. This editing creates suspense and tension. It also creates the feeling that these characters are supernatural and can slow down time and can jump very high and remain in the air for long periods of time.
Sound
At the beginning of the extract the percussion builds in pace as the battle grows more tense which creates suspense and jeopardy but the arrival of the old man in the extract changes the atmosphere. The music played by the old man in the extract and the sound of the raindrops creates a different mood for the battle scene. As well as the old man bringing order to the battle the music and the raindrops reinforce that the fight is orderly and traditional because instead of fast paced music in the background of the battle scene it is slow and calm which
