Use of the camera.

There are a number of camera techniques used in modern films today, these include; Long shot, medium shot, close up, extreme close up, point of view, low angle and high angle.
A medium shot is where you can see the head and shoulders of a person.

A long shot is where you can see the whole picture.

A close up is where you can see the face of a person.

An extreme close up is where the camera goes close up on a persons features e.g. eyes.

A point of view is where you can see what the person sees.

A low angle shot makes people look big and powerful.

A high angle shot makes people looks small and weak.

There are other camera techniques too which include; Pan, tilt, crane shot, tracking shot, rolling shot and stedicam.
Pan is a view from a fixed axis moving across.
A tilt is used to show the size of something e.g. a building.
Crane shot is a view from high above.
A tracking shot is where the camera follows the action.
A rolling shot is where the camera moves from side to side.
A stedicam is where the camera stays still no matter how much the camera man moves it does this by having a gyro sensor fitted to the camera.

Editing

Editing is the process of looking at all of the footage shot during a film then placing it in the desired order and joining it together.
There are tow key areas of editing. The first is speed of editing, this means how long is each shot.
The second is style of editing, this means how the shots are joined together.
Speed of editing; In a film each scene may last seconds, to minutes the length of the scene establishes the pace of the fim moving the action along.
The seed of editing will determine the mood of what is taking place on screen.
If the editing is quick the audience will feel anxiety and suspense.
If the editing is slow there will be a relaxed mood, and example of this will be in a romantic comedy.
Some films contain no editing at all, it could just be one continuous scene which last the entire length of a film, an example of this is in RussianArk.
In trailers the editing will be very fast as they need to pack as much detail from the film into a short period of time. An example of this is the trailer form The Man in irom mask trailer.




Scenes at the beginning of a film must be long enough for us to understand what is going on and so the characters can be introduced. As the film progresses the length of the scenes can be shortened as the action picks up.
Style of editing; This is how the shots are linked together, the movement from one shot to the next is known as a transition.
Types of transition;
Straight cut, this is the most basic form of transition, it is an invisible form of transition. One shot moves in instantaneously without attraction the audiences attention. These help keep the scenes realistic.
Dissolves; These fade out one shot from the scene and fades in a new one, at the mid point the audience will be able to see two shots on screen at one time. This can be used to show a connection between two characters.
Fades; This is the gradual darkening or lightening of an image until it become either black or white.
It can be used to indicate the end of a particular section in the narrative.
Wipes; This is when one image is pushed off screen for another, this can be used to show movement between different locations that are happening at the same time.
Jump cut, this is when the audiences attention is brought to focus on something suddenly, this is created by breaking continuity editing, it looks as if a section of film has been removed.
Graphic match; This is a gap in action and can be used to startle the viewer or bring their attention to something.
Graphic match; This is when the creator places shots in an order to create smooth visual transfer from one shot to the next, two shots are matched together in the way that they look.

Mise En Sense

Mise en sense is a french term meaning in the scene or frame. It refers to; Settings, props, costume, hair, make up, performance, lighting, colour and the positioning of characters or objects.
The setting is where a media text takes place.
Props are the objects that we see on the setting.
Different types of mise en sense
This is a western, here the character will wear a cowboy hat, a waistcoat, there will be horses and old buildings, and will be in a ghost town.
This is a villain, he will wear a costume and stand aut from all of the characters in a film, it will be clear who the villain is.
Facial expressions and body language is very important in media and text, it is shown with the close up and extreme close up.
This is an angry person, a close up is used.
This is a frightened person, an extreme close up is used.
