Analysing film Jot down the terminology on: • Camera angle • Camera movement • Editing • Sound • And mise-en-scene • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCs9THK0pSo&safe=active
When might each be used? What is the effect on the audience?
XLS –extreme long shotm-MidCU-close up • When might each be used and why?
Think about when and why the camera moves rather than keeping the shot still – why might this happen? • For all these shots the camera moves on the spot, except for tracking, crab and peds where the camera man or equipment has to physically move
EDITING –doneon computerafter filming • Cutting rate. This relates to speed – how quickly or slowly do shots cut to the next one – why does this matter? • Fade, dissolve (mix). Both fades and dissolves are gradual transitions between shots. In a fade the picture gradually appears from (fades in) or disappears to (fades out) a blank screen. A dissolve (or mix) involves fading out one picture while fading up another on top of it.
SOUND • Which music is used and why? • Which sound effects are used and why? • Diegetic sound is picked up by the camera – i.e. Dialogue • Non-diegetic sound is put on in post-production i.e. afterwards in the editing stages.
Mise-en-scene • This means ‘what is in the scene’? • For this analyse the following things: • Costume and props if relevant – analyse the connotations now of Darth Vadar’s costume. • Think about colour in the scene and lighting – why might this make a difference to the action or mood? • How does location relate to the scene’s content?
What about this iconic sequence? • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD0uP25yxl8 How are graphics, colour and movement used for effect here?
