  1. Review from HL1 Cinematography Screenwriting Directing Editing Sound/Music Art Direction/Lighting

  2. Film History • Photography was developed in the mid-1800s as film processes became faster • Persistence of vision allows one to see motion • Edison (USA) and the Lumiere Brothers (France) develop filming technologies late 1800s • Basic stories were being told around 1900 • Sound (talking) appears late 1920s • Color appears arrives in the late 1930s • Studio system evolves into corporate interests in early 1970s • CGI developed in the 1990s

  3. Cinematography • Framing • High and low angles, wide angle • Level and canted shots • Following shot, reframing • POV • Frame within a frame • Over the shoulder shot

  4. Cinematography • Scale • Extreme Long Shot (ELS) or establishing shot • Long shot (LS) • Mid-long • Mid-close • Close up (CU) • Extreme Close Up (ECU)

  5. Cinematography • Movement • Camera can pan and tilt (whip pan) • Tracking shot • Crane shot • Hand-held • Zooming

  6. Screenwriting • Script Formatting • Font, format/spacing, capitalizing, etc • Storyboarding • Character Development • Story Telling • Hero’s journey, rising action-climax-falling action • Genre • Conventions that make or break genres

  7. Directing • Auteur Theory • The director is chiefly responsible for the film and is thus seen as an “author” or creative force behind it • Examples include Orson Wells, Steven Spielberg • “Auteur theory” is one idea (genre theory is another… could Steven Spielberg make a western without a duel, landscape, western values?)

  8. Editing • Kuleshov Effect • Editing styles (montage, continuity, elliptical) • Transitions • Dissolve • Wipe • Fade to white/black • Iris • Superimposition • Jump cuts • Crosscutting/shot-reverse

  9. Editing • Matching one frame to the next can give you film a pleasing and smooth transition with style • Match on color • Color from one shot to next is consistent and adds to meaning (red stoplight transitions to an angry person) • Match on action • The action between frames is consistent (a falling bones turns into a falling spaceship) • Match on shape • The shape of the dominant object in the frame is consistent (an eye transitions to a shower drain)

  10. Editing • Timing/Duration • Long take • A take of 45 or more seconds • Overlapping editing • One shot is repeated from different spots to add emphasis • Rhythm • Cuts are equal length vs shorter and shorter clip length • Frame Rate • Fast or Slow motion

  11. Sound/Music • Direct recording vs postsynchronization • Diegetic and non-diegetic sounds • Diegetic appear from on screen • Wild Sounds (on location sound recording) • Room Tone (film empty room for background) • Foley (makes sound effects)

  12. Art Direction • Art Direction composes the mise-en-scene of the film (everything that you see and why you see it) • Décor • Costumes • Setting • Color (mood/tone) • Contrast • Lighting • 3 point lighting (location of lights) • Adds to tone/mood • Mise-en-scene
