Women's football has been around for many decades but was associated with charity games and physical exercise.
Before the 1970's, football was seen as a men's sport. Women's football then became more common after the 1990's. There were 176 National Teams that participated Internationally, compared with 209 Men's National Teams.
Sepp Blatter
The Risible Swiss' views on racism and corruption are decidedly frivolous and that applies to sexism in football too. "Let the women play in more feminine clothes like they do in volleyball". Sepp Blatter suggested as a boost to women's football.
Mike Newell
In 2006, Mike Newell failed to award his side a penalty and said. "She shouldn't be here. I know that sounds sexist but I am sexist. This is not park football, so what are women doing here?" The Football Association examined Mike Newell's remarks and he later apologised.
Conclusion
Overall, it is clear that there is still some sexism in women's football but many people have realised that it's not just a sport for men and that women should be treated fairly with this sport.
The film I will be analysing is Men In Black 3 and I have chosen to analyse the 'Time Jump' scene. The sounds that are heard in this scene are:
Diegetic Sounds: Dialogue eg. Talking and high pitched sounds, An Orchestral Band
Foley & FX Sounds: A Siren, The Wind, Traffic, Device Sounds, Animal Sounds, Construction Sounds, Materials eg. Paper, Crowd Cheering.
In the beginning of this film clip, I hear strings playing in the background, followed by a siren sound. I also hear breathing sounds which shows that the character is scared about what they are going to do. As the character jumps down, the strings in the music begin to come together and build up more, making the scene more dramatic.
As the character is in the air, I also hear the wind. This sound is used to show how fast the character is moving in the air, making it seem more dramatic. When the object slips out of the characters hand, I hear dialogue from the character to show that he is panicking about loosing the device. The strings in the music also become more high pitched and gradually starts to build up. When the character catches the device, the music sounds slightly happy. The music then changes and I hear the strings getting faster and traffic is heard as the character sees that he is about to drop onto the pavement. As the character panics and tries to make the device work, the music gets quiet and I hear a fast sound. As the character is going through time travel, I hear animal sounds and the music changes. I also hear construction of buildings appearing as the character moves into this time zone. I then hear a newspaper which lands on the characters face. On the other side of the character, there are people falling down alongside him. As he sees these people, the music changes and I hear high strings and crowd cheering in the background, which fit the time that he is now in. As the character is about to land on the ground, I hear the character screaming, and the dialogue gradually gets higher until I hear a high pitched sound. When the character lands on the ground the music also stops suddenly. I also hear people's footsteps walking around him. When the character goes back up in the air, I hear a sound like something is stretching and the music gets faster. I hear the character breathing to show that they are in shock about what just happened to them.
The film I will be analysing is Amazing Spiderman and I have chosen to analyse the 'Fight' scene. The sounds that are heard in this scene are:
Diegetic Sounds: Dialogue from people talking and screaming. Dialogue from the Lizard.
Foley & FX Sounds: The toliet breaking, The Lizard breaking things, background music, fighting sounds, objects dropping, glass breaking, explosions.
In the beginning of this film clip, I hear people walking around in the school building. I then hear music quietly playing in the background and then I hear the toilet break as the Lizard comes out of it and breaks more things. As the Lizard comes out of the bathroom, I hear people screaming in the background. This shows that they are scared and they are trying to get away from the Lizard. I hear slow strings playing in the background and this builds up the tension in the film. As Spiderman starts to attack the Lizard, the builds up more.
I hear glass breaking when the Lizard throws Spiderman onto the floor. I start to hear high pitched strings in the music as the scene gets more dramatic. Dialogue is heard in this part, as the Lizard talks to Spiderman.
I hear Spiderman trying to get an object with his web and as he is doing this, the strings get slightly faster. The music then changes and I hear a lot of instruments playing in the background to build up the scene more. I also hear the Lizard picking up chemicals and getting ready to throw them at Spiderman. As he throws the chemicals at Spiderman, I hear an explosion and the music gradually clams down in the background.
When Spiderman is in his costume, the music starts to get happy as Spiderman is finally attacking the Lizard. I hear dialogue when Spiderman is talking to the Lizard and I also hear the Lizard complaining as it is unable to attack Spiderman. I hear electrical sounds when Spiderman is getting away from the Lizard. I also hear Spiderman using his webs to attack the Lizard.
Another arm comes off the Lizard and when this happens, the music suddenly changes to a more tense kind of sound to show that something bad could happen now. However, the music suddenly changes back to happy strings as Spiderman is attacking the Lizard.
The Lizard starts attacking Spiderman with its tail and I hear low strings in the music. This is to show that is really attacking Spiderman and it makes the scene more dramatic. When Gwen hits an object in the Lizard's head, the music slows down a bit and I hear low trumpet sounds as the Lizard is angry at Gwen for doing that. However, when Spiderman puts his webs around the Lizard, the music builds up again and I hear a lot of high strings coming together.
When Spiderman throws the object out the window, the music beings to fade and stops. I hear dialogue coming from Spiderman when he throws Gwen out the window and I also hear the music get faster and then stops when Gwen lands outside in shock.
Police sirens are heard and then the music comes back when the Lizard tires to escape. Spiderman and the Lizard start to fight again, but we do not hear them fighting in the background, instead, I see and hear someone listening to classical music playing loudly in the background and this gives a bit of humour to this scene as this person is not aware of what is going on behind him. As the person leaves the room, I suddenly hear Spiderman being thrown onto a book shelf. Slow dramatic music begins to play as as Spiderman starts to get up.
For this assignment, I had to create a channel ident for City Of Westminster College. Firstly we got into groups and we had to come up with an idea of what our channel ident could be about. We produced mind maps showing all our different ideas and what kind of animation techniques we could used. We decided to use 'cut out' animation for our channel ident as we liked this type of animation technique. The story that we chose was someone doing a puzzle and trying to figure out what the right letters could be. As they are doing the puzzle, if they got the words wrong, a sign would come up saying that the words are wrong and scissors would cut the words up so that they could try and figure out what the correct words were. Once they got the words right, a sign would come up saying that the words are correct and then the words 'City Of Westminster' would appear on the screen as the right letters.
We then realised that this channel ident wasn't very clear, so we decided to change it up a bit. Our new channel ident was of someone being timed trying to get the right words. The time is ticking away so the person needs to make sure that all of the words are shown. Once all of the words are shown, they are put together and then the logo 'City Of Westminster' pops up on the screen. Strengths Of Our Channel Ident As we had to change our channel ident, we quickly came up with another plan on what we wanted our new channel ident to look like. We also used team work when doing our channel ident and we were creative with our story. Weakness' Of Our Channel Ident We wasn't sure what kind of soundtrack to use for our channel ident, but as began to think of what would be suitable for this type of story, we found a suitable sound track to use. Overall, I'm glad that we changed our channel ident, as I could see why our first channel ident was a bit confusing. This has made me realise that when I do another type of animation, I should make sure that the story is understandable so that I won't have to change the idea again.
For this part of our assignment, we had to get into groups and come up with a narrative for a pixilation animation clip. The story for this animation is of me having a bag that is dragging me around and in the end I end up just taking the bag with me. To do this pixilation animation, I had to move slowly and pictures were taken each time I moved.
Strengths Of Our Animation: We had a simple storyline which we thought was creative and all the shots that were taken, came together well. Weakness' Of Our Animation: I think my facial expression could of been shown more to make this pixilation animation have humour to it. Overall, I think our pixilation animation came out good and it was successful.
