It is the portion of the frame

When some parts of an image are blurry
or vague this can be enhanced with the
use of neutral density filters
 Not under or over exposed is too
obvious. A photographer knows how to

exactly similar parts facing each other or
around an axis.
It gives depth to two-dimensional images
or just interesting composition builders.
It is the visual ratio of different tones
in an image.
Candid shots stand out. It is better to

living their life.
it is the ability to draw the viewer’s
attention away from anything
distracting in the image and lead

the ground or under the subject,
something which is not usually seen

 Focus of the Discussion:
• What is Film?
• What are the Elements of Basic
Film?
To start discussing a film's construction, you'll need to
understand the following terms...

What is Film?
• As its early name “motion pictures” declared,
film brought yet another dimension into play –
that moving images. The possibilities of this
medium created a new art form that was to
become a powerful social and economic force and
a legacy of the 20th century to the world.
• Filmmaking or film production is the process by
which a motion picture is produced. Filmmaking
involves a number of complex and discrete stages,
beginning with an initial story, idea, or
commission.

French, it means “placing on

CINEMATOGRAP
HY & LIGHTING
CINEMATOGRAPHY is basically ‘writing in movement’. It
is the way the film was framed, toned, and colored in its own
way of photography.
Camera shot types are also referred
to as viewing distance.

They describe the distance between

the camera and the subject.

There are four main types of camera

shots.

body language.
Long Shot
An actor’s entire body is
seen as well as some of the
setting. It shows a character's
emotion through posture and
gesture.
 Extreme Close-Up Shot
This is a very close shot and may be only
a small part of an object or person. It is
used to raw our focus to show a specific
detail.
Extreme Long Shot
This shows the landscape of the film with
a barely visible character in the distance.
It is used to show setting or make a
person look small or vulnerable in their
surroundings.
Camera angles are also referred to
as viewing perspective.

They describe the angle ofthe

camera in relation to the subject.

There are six main types of camera

angles.
 High Angle
The camera is positioned
above the subject, looking
down. This makes the
subject looks small, weak,
powerless or insignificant.
Low Angle Eye Level Shot

 There are four main types of camera movement.

Panning Shot Tilt Shot

The camera is stationary and the head
moves from left to right or right to left
on a horizontal axis. It is usually used to
show a setting or landscape.
The camera is stationary and the head
moves up or down on a vertical axis. It
is used to show the height of something
or to mirror someone raising or
lowering their head.
 There are four main types of camera movement.

Zoom Tracking Shot

The camera is stationary and the focus The camera moves on tracks or
changes to zoom in or out on an object, wheels, from a helicopter or crane or
character or setting. It is used to draw from the body of a person. They often

EDITING
Editing
This is the process of assembling and splicing
together the various shots which comprise a film.

The editing speed (or tempo) of a particular

sequence is also an important consideration.

Fast editing generates excitement and anticipation

and slow editing has a calming and relaxing effect
on the viewer.
Some Cut – two shots are joined in a way
that looks like an instantaneous
common change between shots.

between scenes.

Dissolve – an image on screen slowly

fades away while the next image
slowly fades in (either a voiceover or
a piece of music).
Some Parallel Editing/Cross-cutting – cuts

editing locations.

follows: their reaction to it via facial
expression

Montage – a series of shots from

different settings or times shown in
sequence to create a continuous
reality. There is usually voiceover or
music played over the top.
SOUNDS
 Music
Music in film is a powerful
emotional trigger that achieves
a number of things:
• It creates mood or atmosphere
• It establishes setting
• It reinforces or foreshadows certain
events
• It gives meaning to a character's
actions or translates their thoughts
 Sound Effects
Sound effects are any sound, other than
music or speech, artificially reproduced
to create an effect.
• Sound effects are most often added into the
movie post production.
• Many times when filming a scene with multiple
actions going on at the same time, such as
dialogue, sword fighting and other background
action, sound effects are added to make the effect
louder.
 Dialogue &
Voice
Dialogue is defined as a conversation
between two or more people in a
movie.
• In addition, a movie could have a monologue
where a character is speaking out loud when he
or she is alone or a voiceover where they speak
over a sequence of events.
• A character can convey a range of emotions or
ideas through the voice they adopt when
delivering dialogue.
