Film Language

In one of our lessons we learnt about the different areas that go into making a film:
-Mise en Scene
-Camera
-Editing
-Sound

Camera:
Examples of Different Framings:

Examples of Different Angles:


Movement of the Camera:
-Pan Left/Right (on tripod)
-Tilt Up/Down (on tripod)
-Tracking Shot - Follows something traditionally moves along a track.
-Steady Cam - Makes the camera look like it is gliding, smooth shot.
-Handheld - the camera doesn't have the locked down feel. Good for fight scenes.

Mise En Scene - All the things that are in the scene

Costume - Correct costumes for the time period etc.
Lighting - Time of day, Low key or High Key lighting
Actors - Appearance, accent, body language, class, gender
Makeup - Correct make to portray who the person is meant to be
Props - Icons used in the film to raise production value
Setting - What type of film will it be and where it is located

Editing

Transitions - can add to pace of movie and portray a certain scene
Pace - How fast or slow you want a scene to be.
SFX - Sound Effects added in after filming to add more to a scene.

Sound

Dialogue - What is being said and how does it affect the scene
Music - Diegetic (what the characters can hear) or Non-Diegetic (what is put on top of a scene that the characters can't hear) Parallel (music goes with scene) or Counter Parallel (When music doesn't go with the scene)
