Camera: Camera movement can include:
1. Steadi-cam (camera is worn by a person and follows the action by foot)
2. Panning Shot (camera moves slowly side to side on a fixed axis)
3. Tilt Shot (camera moves up and down from a fixed axis)
4. Crane Shot (camera, mounted on crane, moves around at a distance above ground level)
5. Tracking Shot (camera follows the action, by moving along tracks)
6. Rolling Shot (camera moves diagonally making the image askew, usually used to suggested a character bring ill or drugged)
Editing: Two main things to know about editing is Speed of Editing (how long does each shot last?) and Style of Editing (how each shot is joined together?)
Types of transitions: 1. Straight Cut
2. Fade-Out (where the screen fades to black)
3. Dissolve (where one image is slowly brought in beneath another)
4. Wipe Cut (where one part of the screen moves to wipe across the other)
5. Jump Cut (where the audience's attention is brought onto something)
Sound: For sound there are two types of sounds and they are diegetic sound, that can be on or off screen (it is sound which is part of the film world that we are watching, such as dialogue) and non-diegetic sound (sound which is not recognised as being apart of the film world, such as a voice-over or background music) There is also parallel and contrapuntal sound, parallel sound is when the music and image on screen are the same where as contrapuntal sound is when the sound does not fit the image on screen, for example a violent image on screen and the music playing is saying "sunshine lollipops and rainbows"
Mis-En Scene: For mis-en scene there are five important features and they are:
1. Settings and Props
2. Costume, Hair & Make-up
3. Facial Expressions & Body Language
4. Lighting & Colour
5. Positioning of Characters & Objects Within In A Frame
Expressionism - This refers to the expression of a state of mind through the mise-en scene
