  2. Basic Terms Film Study

  3. For Today • TAKE NOTES • IF YOU COPY DOWN EVERYTHING ON THE SLIDE I WILL END YOU. • Write ONLY the important information • LISTEN to my elaboration for it to make sense • ASK questions!

  4. Depth of field • The distance through which elements in an image are in sharp focus. • technique to focus audience attention on the most significant aspect of a scene without having to use an analytic cut-in.

  5. Shallow focus • keeps only one plane in sharp focus • in a close-up, the figure is in focus, but the background is not. • Shallow focus suggests psychological introspection, since a character appears as oblivious to the world around her/him

  6. racking focus • usually done quite quickly; in a way, the technique tries to mimic a brief, fleeting glance that can be used to quicken the tempo or increase suspense • way of steering audience attention through the scene, as well as of linking two spaces or objects

  7. deep focus • Both images (one in background, one in the foreground) are in focus and given equal importance • Think of a couple on the stairs, fighting, both are important, in focus

  8. flashback/flashfoward • the order of events in the plot no longer matches the order of the events of the story • Slumdog Millionaire

  9. mise-en-scene • “Everything in the scene” • The representation of space affects the reading of a film • All the things that are "put in the scene": the setting, the decor, the lighting, the costumes, the performance etc. • Narrative films often manipulate the elements of mise-en-scene, such as decor, costume, and acting to intensify or undermine the significance of a particular scene

  10. costume • Costume simply refers to the clothes that characters wear. • Costume in narrative cinema is used to signify character, or advertise particular fashions, or to make clear distinctions between characters • Why do the characters wear that? Are they being type-casted?

  11. space • Depth, proximity, size and proportions of the places and objects in a film can be manipulated through camera placement and lenses • effectively determining mood or relationships between elements • Think: An empty room, an abandoned warehouse, one tree off in the distance? What feelings do you get?

  12. lighting • Intensity, direction, and quality • Light affects the way colors are rendered, both in terms of hue and depth, and can focus attention on particular elements of the composition.

  13. Quality • The look of an image, its balance of dark and light, the depth of the space in focus, the relation of background and foreground, etc. all affect the reception of the image • Is it too dark, light, focused, etc?

  14. Scale • If the same object were filmed at different shot scales it would often signify quite differently. • Shot scale can foster intimacy with a character, • An close-up in the living room • conversely, it can swallow the character in its environment • A wide angle shot in times sq.

  15. Angle of framing • Angle of framing can be used to indicate the relation between a character and the camera's point of view. • Camera up – in power • Camera down – subordinate power • Or can simply be used to create striking visual compositions.

  16. Canted framing • view in which the frame is not level; either the right or left side is lower than the other, causing objects in the scene to appear slanted out of an upright position. • used to create an impression of chaos and instability. • associated with the frantic rhythms of action films, music videos and animation

  17. Level of framing • Not only the angle from which a camera films but the height can also be a significant element in a film. • A low-level camera is placed close to the ground whereas a high-level camera would be placed above the typical perspective shown in the cinema. • used to signify sympathy for characters who occupy particular levels in the image, • used to a greater advantage when the difference in height between objects or characters is greater.

  18. Movement • Pan Shot: Moving shot • Zoom • Wide shot • Close up
