  1. Macros and Micros Big element, little element.

  2. Macro + Micro = Film • MACRO elements: • Genre – the features that fit into a certain type or category e.g disaster, comedy, romance, horror. • Narrative – plot, viewpoint, the story and the ways in which it is told. • Representation – the ways in which social groups and issues are presented in a film. Representation is a key aspect of Film Studies that crosses over between macro and micro film language.

  3. Macro + Micro = Film • Micro elements: • Cinematography – the use of the camera (e.g. steadi-cam vs hand-held; types of shots) • Editing – the process of putting the shots together after filming – where the film is “really” made? • Includes : Order and pace of scenes, plus which are used and which are discarded – IMPACT? • Focus on 2 areas: SPEED of editing (how long each shot lasts) and STYLE of editing (how each shot is joined to the next) • Sound – including music and sound effects (e.g. diegetic vs. non-diegetic) • Lighting and colour – the level and direction of light and the colour pallette used (often considered to be part of mise-en-scène). • Mise-en-scène - the look and positioning of all the objects and characters in a shot – creates sense both of SETTING and of MOOD. • Setting • Lighting and colour • Positioning of characters within the frame • Body language • Costume
