I, Daniel Blake

I, Daniel Blake 

Trailer Analysis :

 establishing shot set outs the story as it is grey and simple so it relates to the protagonist 
the voice over is British so audience can relate with the film 
Pills are the only colourful thing in the shot, suggest that it brights up his life 
The fading represent his heartbeat 
Bird eye view of the protagonist which makes him look smaller and not important 
   
Ken Loach :

 he is apart of the labour party, and he is a social campaigner 
he was bron 1936
he started through television and then film 
he wants his film to educated people with political messages
the film addresses the problem with benefits 
Loach first joined the Labour Party from the early 1960s. In 1980s,
Loach advocated support for the Palestine Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) along with his regular colleagues Paul Laverty (writer) and Rebecca O'Brien (producer).
he campaign for boycotted of Israel 
 "It made me realise that cinema could be about ordinary people and their dilemmas. It wasn't a film about stars, or riches or absurd adventures"
Loach also joined "54 international figures in the literary and cultural fields"

 Ideologies of the film: 
Links to current political events, we're still in a right wing Government we aren't doing any to help the benefit situation 
film demonstrate working class people getting benefit and the difficulties of people who actually need it and unable to get it 

 BBFC Role of Regulation

 BBFC is a NGO found in 1912 they were discovered by the film industry 
they tell the views about the film and restriction 
broad is based in soho in London 
they're not profit based, however you need to submit your film which has a cost 
some producers are rejected if they're very opinionated 
The film is very political 
the trailer got a U and the film got a 15 because drug-use and strong language 
American MMPA is more sensitive than the BBFC 

 What I, Daniel Blake Received:

Got many awards 
well received by the audience 
but not political though because it was very left wing 

 Contextual analysis of I.Daniel Blake :

 about the benefit system
Jeremy Cobyn is left wing politician 
who believed we should tax the rich to give to the poor 

 Funding and Commercial Nature of the film :
estimated 2 million budget

Target Audience - Perhaps younger teenagers/Kids (11-15yrs old) can infer this through the Lexis and Language they used in the video  Child Friendly, laugh at almost everything. There's no explicit language.   Inoffensive - cultivation character  Comments discuss the friendship they have aspirational  Insanely repetitive  Editing is simple- Icons of Pizza chains, simple editing - lots of jumpcuts  Stereotypically represented as feminine with her makeup and hair. She is presented as a perfect persona the video subtly produces a narrative about the lives they live from the products they consume and their buying habits such as Zoe "gets pizza like every week"   For comic effect, she chooses to leave in the blooper to make it more funny and interesting. Naturalistic tone  Her appearance is part of her brand - her own style naturalness and effortless however is trying  video is heavily constructed but is suppose to be natural  Loud ...

Analysis of a chosen scene

 Task  1. List the Media Language (mise-en-scene, editing, Cinematography etc.) that constructs meaning in the scene 2.

The suspense is further anchored through the hallow unsettling music.  There are various moments within this scene where Claire changes her pace dramatically in seconds which may position the audience in an unnerving situation. As they feel alert and placed in a way through the cinematography as if they are there. Some of the sc...
