Pre-Production forMass Media How to clearly express your message to multiple audiences in 30 seconds or less Presented by Shant Joshi
Recap • Camera Framing- Where do you capture the MOTION? • Mise-en scène- What MOTION, or lack of motion, are you capturing? • Editing- How much of the MOTION is seen?
Camera Framing • Framing a shot is to determine how your audience sees the subject in MOTION. • This is made up of 5 major parameters: • Camera Distance • Centered/Decentered Framing • Camera Angle • Depth of Field (Perspective Relations) • Camera Movement or Mobile Framing
Mise-en-Scène • Translates to “placing in the scene” • This refers to every thing you see in the frame of an image • Perfect authorship or auteurism is to have a purpose for every single object in frame • Includes: • Setting • Props • Costumes and Make-Up • Colours • Performance
Editing • “Film is truth at 24 frames a second, and every cut is a lie.” –Jean Luc Godard • “The first cut is always the deepest” –AmnonBuchbinder • We can’t cut from theatre but we can from film. • Use your cuts wisely! • Make sure that you maintain a rhythm and a sense of continuous MOTION
Successful Advertising • Expressing a single thematic element that draws in the viewer into understanding what the product represents • Apple: “Think Different” commercial • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmwXdGm89Tk • This is not a tribute to these great people • This is saying that Apple is equal to these great people • A reason to trust Apple as a consumer
