In this post I will give examples of the technical elements we have been learning in class. These will be very helpful when I am trying to add meaning to my film opening.  

Technical elements 

These Are The Camera angles We Learned In Class

1. Long shot

2. Extreme long shot

3. Medium shot

4. Cowboy shot

5. Close up

6. Extreme close up

7. POV

8. Over the shoulder

9. High angle

10. Low angle

11. Dutch angle

12. Establishing shot

 Camera movements 

Fixed	Camera remains static	Calm, peace, normal
Push in	Camera moves slowly toward subject	Brings the audience closer, more involved, getting more serious.
Pull out	Camera moves slowly away from subject	Takes audience away from the action, leaving a character. Detaching from subject
Pan	Side to side, camera fixed	Reveal information, mirrors natural head movement of the audience.
Tilt	Up and down, camera fixed	Same as pan, just a different direction
Dolly	Camera moves around freely	More immersive, we are moving inside the subjects world, we feel part of the action
Tracking	Camera moves around on tracks	Similar to dolly, but smoother.
Crane		Reveals the epic size of the setting, landscape.
Handheld	Camera is shakey	Very natural, immersive. High energy
Zoom	Zoom	Brings audience closer to budget. Draws our attention to something.

Camera shots and camera movements would help us to know how we could attract audience attention and know how to make the situation more intense and good . 

Here Are The Sound We Learned In Class

 

	Description	Effect
Diegetic sound	Sound that can be heard by the characters within the media text.	Add a sense of realism. Reveal information to characters (and then audience)
Non diegetic sound	Sound that can only be heard by the audience.	Enhance meaning, create an emotional response in the audience
Trans diegetic sound	Sound that transitions from one to the other.	Creates a link between the audience and the world. More immersive

 

Knowing about the sounds could help us make the situation more intense in our opening scene . And sound help to make the audience more intrested in the film opening.

Edit 

Continuity Editing	Non continuity editing
Straight cut (cut) Eyeline match  Shot /reverse shot Cutaway / Insert  *Match cut	Cross cut (parallel cut) Flash back Flash forward Jump cut  *Match cut

Knowing about the edits helps us to know how do we change scene without making the film opening wierd. And helps make audience intreseted

Miss-en-scene:

Miss-en-scene refers to the arrangement and design of visual elements within a frame or a scene. The main key elements are:

1) Props

2) Set Design

3) Costume

4) Hair

5) Make Up

6) Colour

7) Performance

8) Lighting 

9) Blocking

10) Focus

11) Weather

12) Environment

 

Mis en scene helps me to know how to make the situation more realistic and more attractive , this also helps me on what costume to use to make it more intense and the set design.

reflection : I dont really understand about the editing because I miss a lesson about the editing , so i need to learn it by myself . and for the others like camera angles and camera movement Mr Nick explained it clearly so i could understand well.
