Another example of Mise-en Scene is Sherlock. This is a good example for the costumes as he has a specific look.

With Sherlock, Arthur Conan Doyle gave him a specific look which was memorable, which people remember and recognize that character. The success of his books you usually now find people see a deerstalker and think straight of Sherlock Holmes. With the particular costume and look Sherlock has been given, he is looked at as a detective, people know when they see him that, thats what he is. In film its important to get the costume spot on. The costume is what makes the character, the personality that they have, whether they are good or evil. The costume helps to make them believable.

then refers back to previous shots, objects and figures. Unbalanced composition which are used in certain parts of a film does work as getting the audiences attention as it seems more abnormal, people will start to question parts more, thinking have they missed something. Lighting on the other hand can tell the audience more, not only about the character, but also whether its night or day. Highlights of light can help focus on smaller parts such as shapes and textures, also creating the fear that perhaps the character may be feeling. For example in the film, The Women in Black when trying to summon the ghost, the house was dark which shows the audience that its night. They have placed a ray of light on Mr Daily, which shows the audience that a door is open; there is a small bit of light. Especially in Horrors the amount of light and where it has been positioned is very important, this is because it gives it more tension, being a tense seen, not knowing where the ghost currently is, by making the background pitch black with just that ray of light on him, gives off more tension as you dont know if anything will jump out.

LANGUAGE
Mise-en scene Mise-en scene is a french word meaning placing on stage. It describes the design/ scenery aspects of film production and theatre. When used for cinema, Mise-en scene refers back to everything which appears on camera as well as the arrangement, this includes: costumes, lighting, composition, sets, props and even the actors and actresses. The most important element of Mise-en scene is the set design. By making sure that the props and the scene have a theory/story behind it which then the audience can start to understand that particular character(s) emotion, their routine, mood which shows in the film. What the director and the production designer have to decide is whether they want to shoot a particular scene on set or on location. Usually its done on set because of cost as well as you can completely make up a set from scratch, whereas on location it would be harder depending on what you want. Another two important elements are composition and lighting. Making sure that each and every object are in within the frame, also an important concept to composition in film is maintaining a balance of symmetry through the whole film, which

The type of cinematography which they have used for the shark is point of view, they have used the camera as if it is the shark swimming through the ocean, towards the people who are swimming. By the added music you know whos point of views its from, if there wasnt any music it would just seem like an underwater shot, not giving much tension.

for example a room in a house, this gives you chance to view the environment they live in, which could tell you a lot from the character. Youve also got panning, which is used to view a panoramic set or setting. For example with this technique shot, you see it a lot in the Hobbit, usually when they are set in middleearth, so you as an audience can see what the whole place looks like, as well as the size of it. Another time the film to use this type of shot is when they capture all the dwarfs, hobbit and wizard together. By doing this they are setting the scene.

Sets and props used in films and TV themselves can become iconic and memorable. For example in the Wizard of OZ, the ruby slippers that were used are now along with other props from films are most valued and treasured because of there use in the film. The set which was used for the film is well known for its yellow brick road. Being that it was used for the majority of the film its been well remembered. Another reason could be because down the yellow brick road they sang a song. Cinematography Cinematography is the way the camera has been used, this includes the shots and angles. There are many types of shots which are used to capture different scenes. Usually the type of shot depends on the scene and what the cameramen and directors are trying to capture. The different types of shots include: crane shots, which are usually used to show when the film or a scene has ended. Another one is tracking and dolly shot, these two shots have the same effect, the only difference is that a tracking shot is a shot which moves along by tracks and a dolly shot is mounted on a trolley. The shot can be used to achieve a number of shots, but youll usually find it being used to explore a room,

Other shots include: Close-up, Extreme closeup, Point of view, Birds eye view, Wide shot, Mid-shot, Long-shot, Over the shoulder shot. Another good example of cinematography is Jaws. The techniques that have been used and how they have developed them swapping from angle to angle, builds up suspense and tension which will scare the audience. The music as well what theyve added in represents the shark so when that comes on you know that he is moments away, again added more tension. Heres an example with no music and with music, which shows how much more tension it gives the audience. http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2K-YedETiI

that bit more tension as this is a new character, which you know nothing about, as well not knowing what hes going to do. The scene starts off with a high corner shot from the ceiling; this sets the scene, shows the audience where abouts they are as well as who is there.

they are placed, on the wrong side its going to not look like they are talking to each other; this is called crossing the line.

Editing Editing is a process which takes after filming. It ables you to add writing, edit visual images and audio. Order of editing usually starts with the kuleshow effect. This effect is when images are placed together to create meaning, for example in post production theyd put the takes that they want together in a particular order so that a story tells, which the audience will be able to see. Nowadays the kuleshow effect is more commonly known as montage editing. A montage sequence is a series of shots put together which recap of something that happens or build on a mood, rather than carrying it out parallel of real time.

f The camera then moves to the end of the table, showing the position of how they are sitting.

By placing the camera on the wrong side, when editing the two clips together the two people having the conversation arent going to look as if they are making eye contact, even though they are sitting opposite each other. Its important that you are keeping that continuity in their convention. To help understand the rule I used a short clip from the new york film academy: Establishing film continuity. This gives you a clear understanding of how the rule works: http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALguEHV9VvA An example of the 180 degree rule is a small scene from Breaking bad. The conversation takes place between Walter and Gus. In this scene Walter is trying to make a deal with Gus to work for him. Its important that they capture the expressions of the conversation. From the expressions of their faces you can see that they both know what they do, it gives

The most important part in editing is keeping up the continuity. In most films, the process of editing is to create that continued story, which makes sense to the audience. An example of continuity is the 180 degree rule; when in film or TV there is a two way conversation. There will be a line of action which on either side will be a set of cameras.

The camera then moves onto the table aside the two characters. Through watching through the whole clip (http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=IYmTFRU-GuI) you can see through the duration of the scene, that there is continuity to it.

The cameras are placed in a specific place, capturing the right angle of the person. If

There isnt just those three though, there are all sorts of different types of sound, even though some types may not be suited for that particular film, such as stab: music which interrupts the scene, you know is going to be more suited for a horror than perhaps a sad film. The use of lots of different sounds give more tension to the scene as the audience are trying to figure out where the sound is coming from as well as working out what is making the particular sound. An example of Diegetic sound is in the film The dark knight rises. In the scene where Batman gets Catwomen to take him to Bane to take him down. The fight scene between them both you dont all see, they also show how the people look around them; for instant Catwomen, she knew that he didnt stand a chance, that he was so much stronger, but he insisted, to which she did and now she has got to watch him get punched and thrown and she cant do anything. The shot at her face shows guilt and sadness.

The angles which change look as if its swapping from each one of their views, you know from this they are looking at each other.

The punching that is happening off-screen between the Batman and Bane lagged, not giving the audience the same impacted because we were taken out of the film viewing a different aspect of the room. An example of Ambient sound would be from the film Stranger then fiction. In this short clip from the film: http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=a3Zdz61iSLo you can hear the sound of the cutlery catching from her washing up. What makes this sound Ambient is how it creates the environment of the couple. Another example, but for Stab is from the film Phycho. From the music which interrupts in the background from immediately when the killer slides open the shower curtain, will make the viewers jump, giving you just as much shock as the lady in the shower. http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=81qweiWqyTU Other terms of sound are: Score which is music which has been made particular for that film/TV show. For example the National Anthem of Panem in The Hunger Games, was made especially. As well you have got soundtracks which music is taken from to use in Film/TV. Another term is Foley which is a sound created for a specific reason. The last two are Parallel and Contrapuntal sound. Parallel is sound which matches the vision and Contrapuntal is music or sound that contradicts the vision, for example horror.

Sound Sound does a massive part in film and TV. With sound youre keeping the audience emerged, creating a mood and setting emotion. Adding sound also creates a atmosphere and helps create hidden meanings with the visual. While the camera is set on Catwomen youve still got the sound of Bane punching Batman to death, which shows you her reaction and the others to who are viewed. Three types of sound which are used a lot: Diegetic, which is sound on and off screen, Non-Diegetic which is in the background, something you cant see, for example sound to set the scene and last of all Ambient which is sounds which create the environment, for example someone washing up cutlery offcamera in the background.
