Study Notes
Code in Information Theory
- A code is a system of symbols for representing information.
- Codes are used to transmit and store information efficiently.
Code in Filmmaking
- A code in filmmaking is a system of visual and auditory cues that convey meaning to the audience.
Components of Code in Filmmaking
- Visual Elements - This includes camera angles, composition, lighting, and color.
- Auditory Elements - This includes sound effects, music, and dialogue.
- Narrative Structure - This includes the plot, setting, and characters.
- Genre Conventions - Each genre has its own set of conventions that audiences expect.
Sharing Code in Information Theory
- The sender and receiver of information need to share the code for effective communication.
Codes in Filmmaking Related to Spatial Arrangement
- Framing: The way the camera captures the scene, the spatial relationships between subjects.
- Composition: The arrangement of elements within the frame.
- Camera Movement: The way the camera moves, which signifies specific information.
