1. Sounds Listen for it….

2. Diegetic sound • Sound that is intended to be part of the setting, and action on screen. If a horse is in the scene and you hear it neigh and the sound of horse hooves. If there is a storm and you hear thunder and lighting, if a person is speaking and it is coming out of their mouth as if really saying it.

3. Non-diegetic sound • A sound that is not part of what is happening on screen. A voice over, music in the background, etc…

4. Editing -CUT Cut – when you go from one shot to another – quickly – no visual transition.

5. Cross-dissolve Cross – dissolve: one image dissolves into another image.

6. Fade-up: an image gradually fades in

7. Fade - Out Fade – out: an image gradually fades out. Fades to and from black usually indicate time has passed.

8. Shot sizes • EXTREME LONG SHOT • A framing in which the scale of the object shown is very small; a building, landscape, or crowd of people will fill the screen.

9. Long Shot • A framing in which the scale of the object shown is small; a standing human figure would appear nearly the height of the screen.

10. Medium Long Shot • Framing such than an object four or five feet high would fill most of the screen vertically.

11. Medium Shot • Subject is seen from the waist up. Setting can still be seen.

12. Close Up • A framing in which the scale of the object shown is relatively large. In a close-up a person's head, or some other similarly sized object, would fill the frame.

13. EXTREME CLOSE-UP • A framing in which the scale of the object shown is very large; most commonly, a small object or a part of the body usually shot with a zoom lens. Again, faces are the most recurrent images in extreme close-ups.

14. Medium Close up • A framing in which the scale of the object shown is fairly large; a human figure seen from the chest up would fill most of the screen. Another common shot scale.
