Book notes from page 36 - 40

Diegesis

Diegetic Material is sound that can be heard by the charater like dialoge between charaters or sounds is the backround like thunder or rain drops or even music from a radio or a TV.

Non Diegetic material can not be heard by the charater like Voice over, Theme tune or Atmophereic music.

There are a few things that are both like a charaters toughts which narrator by the charater is thinking them so they also know what they are, also other charaters can not hear them but in a few films this is not true because a person may have a speacil power like the in the film What Women Want
Some films have some diegetics sound which the narrator wish they are not there but some of the lines from these films have become a main part of the film.

Micro and Macro Origination

there are two sections to this Strategy.
Most film descide about the convetions of a fiction film gerne or style of film. this will change the micro elements of the film. Such as the types of camara work like angles and shots, they way music is used to set a scnec or make the audience predict trouble, style of titles. it would be funny in a horror if you had bright yellow and pink writing with a cartoony atomphere to the film. it would make you think the film is rubbish and this could make you leave the viewing of the film or even fall asleeo during the film. also you have to think carfully about the setting because it would also be funny in the horror is it was set at a wonder garden where the animals sing together. this would normally would be asoiated with a fantasy / adventure like film. these smaller deatil but key ones are called the Macro Originations.

this makes it a long process before you even start filming. if you where to do a horror yu would first have to watch some classic horrors and some new ones to see what is the publics favorite type of horror. after this you can start working out the plot and plan of the film following all or most of the narritives all the way. looking for scary sences like a mine or a old house or a woodland. work on a theme tune or a uqine piece of music which would imedently tell people what film it is if they heard it on some ones phone an also be tension biulding and maybe misleading is some ways to make people more shacked and surrprised. Finally you would start to Touch up on the plans like the cast and names and then shot the film and then edit it so it is ready for the cinemara and its big premiere.

Camera work and Framing page 38

Filming is a hard thing to do. You should avoid Zooming at all costs unless you want to show the aperence of amateure footage but it can be done well show by me and my group in the last project. if possible seclect a widescreen framing and remember to use less close ups as Tv because the viewing screen is much bigger. Mainly use long shots and mid shots with few and far between close up shots.
the rule of thirds. imagine that the screen is split into 9 squares. the centre square is the piece you should be focused on and the other squares fram the centre piece with other deatils like sence and more.
using mainy diffrent types of shot is key because with a long shot you can set the sence of the area and then as you cut to a mid shot it then show more detail about the area and then finally to a close up shot which shows more detail like facial expressions.
camera angles are a key part in films and tv programes. High angles Show less power and weakness as lower angle show power and dominates. framing lets the charater have room and shows spaces in the front of them if they are moving in that direction. they could show space behide them if there s some about to com into shot from behide them.
Tips pradies every shot a few times so no mistakes are made in the main film.
test every think is working like microphone
turn of the times and date on the camrera
and leave a bit of gap at the start of the tape to let the pc capture the whole of you film or you might lose a few shots of a sence.

Mise en Scene Page 39

This part of the book says how you have less time and money unlike big film producters have and which they enjoy having but the people which makes the best of this will reape the benifits. small deatials in our films might make the difference like props, costumes, music, locations and lighting are all key parts of all films. small things like a hair cut or a costume change mid way though the film would be a very bad thing unless it can be justerfide. or even poor light chooses or major contrased between shots can also have the same afect on the film. all of this would make the film seem cheap and not well thought out.

Lighting page 39

Tip about lighting
use natural light but make it a bit clever like use it though tree top in the mist and add other tings like rain apending to the affects you want.
use very possible bit of light you can use as long as it is safe like signs bring in torches and be inventive.
create other colours by shining light though plastics and other materials.
dont just place light where it is easies place to put it place them in funny and diiferent places like maybe under somthink to maybe create a fake mist or smake like affect

combining sound, image and titles page 40

It is very hard to make the right the correct desision about make a good lokking and apropate.Iit mainly depends on the softwear you have avalible to you. you can use may different colours and styles which may have a silular affect to the film if a charater had a poor costume on. also you need to make he correct desion about where the tiltes are placed aspecially as now most films introduce the film with the tiles fading in and out on the screen and key details maybe missed if the tiltes are covering them and this may spoil the film.also picking good music which matches with the pace of the drama unfolding and it does not confusse the audience, because the start of a film is so key to a film, many films priduction show the start to a few seclected people to evuade the film and say what the film or drama is like and what affect it may have on the big or small screen, also if the film is giving of the right sort if message.

The grammer and non linear editing page 40

This type of editing is a bit hard it seems to me but with a good music like mind and free flowwing mental beat keeping so you can make the pace of the film the same and also use correct transistions and good time keeping could create a smother more hard cutted film. hard cuts are a key part of a film and you should use them 9/10 of the time. the only time you dont is when you put transistions in between cuts and tiltes. the hard but most important part of editing is to make the film seen like it has be shot in one big shot and the drama is un reaveling in front of them like they are there watching them live.
