Film Techniques

Angles change perception.
Framing is important - Is it moving or still? In full colour? Bacl and white? Desatirated colour? Special effect? Accompanied by music, or silent?
Atmospheres can be created:

Mise en scene - What the director chooses to put on the scene.

Tight framing is usually used for close shots, whereas loose framing is used in longer shots.
Rule of third: Divides the frame into thirds both horizontally and vertically.
If you intercept a line, there's a point of interest.

When an object in placed centrally, it becomes confrontational.

Cinematic mise en scene encompasses both the staging of the action and the way it's photographed:
- Set design
- Costume
- Props
- Compostion
- Lighting
And the general visual enviroment, as well as camera placement and movement, placement of actors and what they say and do.

Aspect Ration - ?

Deep space - When significant elements of an image are positioned both near to and distant from the camera.
These objects don't all have to be in focus.

Shallow space (opposite to Deep space) - The image is staged with very little space.

Wide shot - Does not refer to the actual width of the shot, since the frame width can't alter.

Extreme wide shots - establishing shots: often have great depth.
