STORYBOARDING Directors want their audiences to respond to their movies in a particular way. They have discovered that if they use certain effects, they will get certain responses. They plan each shot to have the response that they desire. We call this mise-en-scene.
MISE-EN-SCENE • Mise-en-scene is the way in which a shot has been composed, or put together. It involves: • Lighting • Focus • Line • Colour • Camera shot and angle
LIGHTING • Lighting is the skilled use of natural and artificial lighting in order to create certain effects: • Top: Shows subject as angelic, innocent, good • Side: Shows contrast between lit and unlit sides; often portrays subject as untrustworthy • Bottom: Conveys the sinister nature of the subject • Front: Portrays subject in the most common way • Back: The subject is silhouetted for a sinister and threatening

Sharp focus: Creates clarity; portrays reality, truth; open, candid effect; lines are clearly seen To slide 22
Differential focus: Part of the picture is in focus; specific details are emphasized without sacrificing the context To slide 22
LINE The image on the screen may give the impression of linear direction. It helps to create the mood of the shot. To slide 22

Next: With the notes that you researched last week, populate the next few slides on this PowerPoint with relevant pictures for each of the camera shots listed. Be sure to also write a brief explanation for each shot.
