  1. Seeing through the image: Cinematography

  2. The start of Film • Cinematography: the act of making a film • Chronophotography- series of still images that recorded incremental movement and formed a basis for cinematography • The first motion picture camera was created in 1891. • The first movie was most likely made in 1895. • The first movies showed single moving image. • Technicolor first used in 1932.

  3. The Shot • Point of view—the position from which a person, an event, or an object is seen on film; all shots have a point of view • Subjective point of view—re-creates the perspective of a character through camera placement • Objective point of view—represents a more impersonal perspective of the camera

  4. The Shot • Focus—the specific object highlighted within a point of view • Framing—contains, limits, and directs the point of view within the borders of the rectangular frame • Canted frame—an unbalanced or askew frame • Mobile frame—the subject of the shot may move, so the frame follows the action, object, or individual

  5. Onscreen space-space visible within the frame of the image • Offscreen space-implied space or world that exists outside the film frame • Scale—distance of the camera from its subject • Close-ups—show details of a person or object • Extreme close-up—move in closer, singling out a particular object or area of focus

  6. Extreme long shot—creates a greater distance between the camera and the person/object • Medium shot—describes a middle ground in which we see the human body from the • Medium close-up—shows the characters head and shoulders and is frequently used in conversation scenes • High angles—present a point of view directed at a downward angle on individuals or a scene
