  1. Film Form Stylistic system pattern & significant usage of techniques Formal System Interacts with • Narrative (Story) • Abstract (Implicit ideas) • Mise-en-scene • Cinematography • Editing • Sound

  2. Realism and Mise – en – scene • Mise-en-scene is often judge by standards of realism. • If we insist to judge filmmaking rigidly on realism thus this limits the possible height of the imagination as far as Mise-en-scene in concern. • It is better than to examine the function of Mise- en- scene rather than to judge mise- en scene on our conception of realism.

  3. Aspects of Mise – en – scene • Settings • Filmmaker uses an existing locale to stage the action. • Filmmaker chooses to construct settings • Filmmaker emphasizes on authenticity • Filmmaker is less committed to historical accuracy • Design of a setting can significantly shape how audience understand the story and action • Full size Settings need not always be built; parts of the settings can just simply be paintings and combined photographically with full size section of the space. • Digital special effects are also used to fill portions of the scene. • Props are also a factor of mise-en-scene. This is where the object in the setting has a function within the ongoing action. • Filmmaker may also use colour to create parallels among elements of settings.

  4. What aspect of control does Mise-en- scene has to offer in filmmaking? • The filmmaker stages the event for the camera • Cinema-verite’ is where filmmakers capture events without controlling them • Animated and abstract films control mise-en scene, which are mostly impossible with performers shot in real time. • Mise-en-scene involves planning but filmmakers may be open to unplanned events as well

  5. Costume and make up • Costume more often than not has a specific function in the total film. • Costume may also be quite stylized, calling attention to their purely graphic qualities • Costumes also play and important motivic and causal roles in narratives. • Costumes is often coordinated with settings • Originally during black and white film, make up is usually necessary because without makeup actors faces could not register clearly on early film stock. • Makeup can aim at complete realism. Now, rubbers and plasticene compounds are use to create bumps, bulges, extra organs and layers of artificial skin.

  6. Lighting • In cinema, lighting is more than just illumination. Lighting permits us to see actions. • A brightly illuminated patch may draw our eyes to a key gesture. • While a shadow may conceal a detail or a soft curve of a face, a rough grain of a piece of wood. • Lighting shapes objects creating highlights and shadows. • Film lighting: • Quality • Direction • Source • Colour

  7. Staging • Movement & acting • Acting: functions and motivation
