Roland Barthes

Roland Barthes (12 November 1915 – 26 March 1980) was a French literary theorist, philosopher, linguist and critic.
He stated that once a piece of media is published, the author is no longer the author and that it is down to the people to interpret the film or programme as what they believe is the true meaning of the piece.

In his lifetime Barthes published seventeen books and numerous articles.
 His ideas have offered alternatives to the methods of traditional literary scholarship. Barthes' writings have had a considerable following among students and teachers both in and outside France.

 

Planning for 2 min film opening

In our preliminary task we used a variety of different camera angles to convey the messages of the situation.


The first shot is an extreme close up of the door handle turning slowly, this is more effective than a longer distance shot because it establishes an intensity to the piece even before we have met the characters.
The scene then cuts to a low mid tracking shot of the shoes of the man (Nick) entering the room, this also establishes a sense of mystery as we are yet to see the face of the man.
After this the other man in the room (me) turns around and we see this from a long shot of me standing in the window and as I begin to turn around the scene cuts to a low mid tracking shot of Nick's feet again to add more mystery. There is then an over the shoulder shot as nick  begins to sit down and this indicates the two characters are about to begin conversation.
Towards the end of the clip there are extreme close up shots of each character's face, this signifies intensity between the characters as the emotions on their faces are easier to pick up on.
