Film language
Notes from todays lesson;
Shots that contain lots of depth are rich in frame.
Flat frames convey loneliness/ tight framing.
Size= the importance to the film. The bigger something is, the more important to the film it is.
The distance between characters shows the relationship between them.
Contrast is important, we are naturally drawn to to high contrasts images. Contrast is not only colour/light, but also size and shape.
Rule of thirds, nose space/ looking space/ - importance of giving enough room for a character to walk, look, turn with out being out of frame.
180° Rule; do not go over the line of action.
When there is three characters, there is two lines of action.
You can use over head shots/cutaways/ intercutting/ establishing shots to change the position of the action line.
This weeks homework; camera angels that have been used good v.s badly.
