The Elements of Filmmaking
- Filmmaking involves a range of essential elements found in every film.
- Image is crucial; it's captured by a light recording device and projected onto a screen using powerful lamps in theatres or via vacuum tubes in television.
- Compositional rules from fine art apply to filmmaking, emphasizing the need for color theory and aesthetic principles.
Visual Elements in Film
- Visual elements should engage the audience subconsciously, guiding them effortlessly from one shot to the next.
- Avoidance of distracting "jump cuts" is essential to maintain continuity and visual flow.
- Films can be critiqued effectively by identifying the intelligent application of visual art elements and principles.
Frame, Shot, and Sequence
- A frame captures a single moment in film or video, akin to a still photograph.
- Multiple frames combine to create a shot, which is an uninterrupted segment of film or video.
- Several shots together form a sequence, establishing a narrative continuity.
Time in Film
- Actual time refers to the film's runtime or duration, essential for audience engagement.
- Diegetic time represents the time within the story, which can range from minutes to years, affecting the narrative's pacing and structure.
