25 Terms

1

mise-en-scene

the arrangement of everything in the frame; the placement of each thing in its exact place

New cards
2

auteur

a filmmaker whose personal influence and artistic control over a movie are so great that the filmmaker is regarded as the "author" of the movie

New cards
3

dominant

the first thing, image, or color the viewer is drawn to in the shot

New cards
4

lighting key

level of lighting used in a shot. Examples include high key (bright), low key (dark), high contrast (use of spotlight)

New cards
5

proxemics

the distance between the camera and the subject/action

New cards
6

angle

the relative height of the camera to the subject -- is it level (neutral, eye-level), high (looking down on the characters), low (looking up at them)?

New cards
7

color values

the dominant and secondary colors in the shot. Consider what effects these colors have on the shot, what symbolism might be expressed.

New cards
8

lens

Different focusing glass covers for the camera that distort or change the shot (e.g. closer, farther away, wider, thinner, blurred foreground, blurred background, etc).

New cards
9

filter

When placed over the lens (or added later in editing), distorts or changes the way the images are recorded (grainier, different colors, changes sound, etc -- think TikToks and Reels!).

New cards
10

stock media

images, sound, and text that add content or information to the shot. Stock can build detail (such as background filler or diagetic music), be essential to conveying the message of the shot (such as in a documentary when primary documents are provided), etc.

New cards
11

density

the amount of visual information in a shot. Is it highly detailed? Bare and stark? Crowded and cramped? Wide and clear?

New cards
12

composition

the organization or design of the shot, as we might describe a piece of traditional art. How are the pieces laid out in relation to one another? Is the space segmented or arranged in a particular way?

New cards
13

form

In film, a matter of a spectrum from open to closed. Is each thing happening in the shot planned (closed)? Or was the camera rolling, people living without direction (open)? Or some balance of the two?

New cards
14

framing

In film, a matter of tight versus loose. How much space do figures or characters have to move around the shot? Can they move freely or are they cramped in the shot?

New cards
15

depth

Thinking three-dimensionally, how many planes can the image be divided into moving from front to back? What is the relationship between those planes (or the visual information within them)?

New cards
16

character placement

Where in the frame is the character? Center, top, bottom, edge?

New cards
17

staging positions

In relation to the camera, which way are characters facing? What direction are their bodies turned? Be wary not to confuse this with character placement! Five staging placements -- full front, quarter turn (toward), profile, three-quarter turn (away!), back to camera

New cards
18

secular

attitudes, activities, or practices that have no religious or spiritual basis

New cards
