Monarch of the Glen first minute editing
Long TakeTake refers to legnth of time the camrea is running between edits (cuts or transitions). We do not see an edit for a long period of time, this can be used to effectivly slow time. - Long take opens this extract, it effectivly slows time as we notice the surronding of the farm lifestyle which then relates with the stereotype of middle aged/old people working on a farm which is boring and slow.
Cross Cutting with a Shot/Reverse Shot with an Eyeline Match.Cross cutting a cut to a piece of action that is happening at the same time. Shot/Reverse Shot is an editing pattern that cuts to a view of the opposite direction like in a conversation, at Eyeline Match which is where we can see a charecter look in a particular direction which the next shot follows.- There is a Cross Cutting shot with a Shot/Reverse Shot, this link on from the last sequence showing a boy and a girl walking out the house, the Shot/Reverse Shot is behind the boy showing him looking eyeline match to the girl showing their equality which relates to the last stereotype with a relaxed, slow and calm feel.

Evaluate Working Title's website commenting on what features make it particually useful or interesting.
Working titles website looks very proffesional, unlike any other british film website. This could be from the influence of its shareholders, Universal Pictures. This would then allow funding and more experienced/professionalweb designers to create the smart look the website has. On the website there are headers to pick from such as; Films, Trailers, News, Features, Theatre and Action!Thisis easy to navigate round the website as you can easily find what you are looking for. Also underneith they have 5 diffrent moving slides of their productions that you can click on to view more of. The website still hold trailers from over 5 years ago which is interesting and good to look at, also its good that company still respect the old and are publisising their older works. Anoherthing that is good about this website is they have a film page for every film which is good for fans as on thatpage their are blogs from actors, film highlights, pictures, exclusives such as poster arts and downloads, film information, news and trailers. This is good for fans as they can easily find out more about a selected film of interest.
I think the website is great, fun and professional.

Doug Bihlmaier
Doug Bihlmaier is the Head of Ralph Lauren Vintage. He is seen as one of the most stylish men in New York. He's the reason you obsess about RRL and the nuances of hand dyed indigo bandanas and hickory stripe chore jackets. His homeless chic look probably costs more than your entire closet.He dresses with an edge and its his own style -'Hobo Chic'. I believe someone would like to be so indicidual and stand out, but maybe not always for the right reasons, is so that people like ourselves can judge and believe what we like, but we are mislead by their appearance so maybe out actions depend on our judgement meaning that a man such as Doug would be treated by people who dont know him, purely how they believe he should be treated by the look of his apperance. Also being a designer and collector for a brand, his own style and charectersistics need to be individual, daring and imagantive so they are diffrent from any other and so maybe Dougs beliefes of this is shown through by his misleading, quirky, apperance.
The Man
- write up notes in class -
This man is called Doug Bilmaier and he heads Ralph Lauren's vintage department. This gentlemen travels the world buying all the great vintage items (frames,books,fixtures etc) that you find decorating Ralph's stores.
