Exam techniques

The clip will be played 4 times in the exam and there is 4 areas you have to comment so for each time the clip is played make notes on each. Divide the page of notes into 4 and write notes on each of the 4 technical area.

The four technical areas are:
Sound
Editing
Camera angles
Mise-en-scene

Sound:
Comment on the sound that goes with the clip
non-diegetic and diegetic sound
- non-diegetic sound is when the sound you hear you can't see when it's coming from e.g music over the top of he clip
- diegetic sound is when you can see where the sound is coming from e.g footsteps


Editing
-motion shot where the actor looks at something and the camera goes to what the person is looking at
-how the scenes have come together e.g showing how someone's days gone on


Camera angles e.g:
-180 degree rule
-Over the shoulder
-panning
-long shot
-medium
-close up
-extreme close up

These are examples of camera angles used. If it was a male and woman scene show the male would be made to look bigger then the woman as women are look down on by men as they're considered to be weaker then women.

Mise-en-scene
This contains this such as:
-props
-location (where it's set)
-costume of the actors

An example of this would be a male wearing a pink top, this would then challenge the stereotype of men as pink is associated to be a woman's colour.
