What is significant about the following two scenes?

Analyse the scenes – look at sound, shots and camera angles, movement, lighting, special effects, setting+props

Sound

Storyboarding

Storyboarding is a vital part of the production process of making any film or advertisement.

Storyboarding helps film directors plan and organise their ideas and saves money on wasted filming – when films cost so much money to make, any saving on production costs makes a big difference.

  • Diegetic sound
  • Non-diegetic sound

Diegetic sound is actual, natural sound – whose source is visible on the screen (or near screen)

Non-diegetic sound is commentary sound – e.g. sound effects, mood music, voice over

Why would you use diegetic sound?

Why would you use non-diegetic sound?

Lighting

  • Natural or artificial?
  • Where is it coming from?
  • Shadows?
  • Special effect lighting?

WHY? What is the purpose? What is the effect?

Mise-en-scène

There are more cinematic techniques... :)

Analysing film – mise-en-scène

Mise-en-scène is a media term which means ‘put in the frame’

Everything that you see and hear has been carefully selected to create meaning.

An important part of film studies is exploring how this meaning has been created.

Cross cutting

An editing technique which alternates cuts between scenes - in a brief, rapid way.

What is the effect?

Films are not put together accidentally – everything in a film is there for a reason, e.g. sound, lighting, props, shots and camera angles.

Every scene is put together as a miniature story of its own – we must analyse every scene to understand what the director wants to say.
