sound

Diegetic - Within the scene
Non Diegetic - Added afterwards in post production
Crescendo - Build up of sound / music
Dimuendo - Gradual 'die away' of music
Sforzando - Sudden sharp sound

In the scene where all the kids go swimming, there is diegetic sound in the scene and the boy goes in the sea on his yellow floater and other kids join him. Soon the sound dies out as they get further away  and non diegetic sound is added when the shot of the camera changes to the sharks point of view. The sound stays non diegetic while the shark gets the boy.

 

 

The Godfather.

In this scene there is diegetic crescendo as Michael is thinking about whether to shoot Sollozzo and McCluskey and while thinking, you can hear the trains in the background as it is set in London. You know something will happen as he takes the gun from behind the toilet and the was he walks out of them and the way he looks at them when he gets back to the table.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Editing

Main Edits-

1. Cut
2. Dissolve = Time passing
3. Fade to black / white and fade up- pace can be changed on this one (often time passing)
4. Jump cut - When the camera cuts then cuts to the same object but a closer shot
5. Graphic match - The image of one object fades / dissolves / cuts to another that is similar

Psycho- Alfred Hitchcock:

Pace of cutting - Most when the sequence of stabbing happens because in those days you couldn't have nudity or 'graphic images' even though it was filmed in black and white.

Graphic match - Plughole and eyeball - they match because they are both rounded and it shows her death going down the plughole.

Basic Camera Angles

Extreme close-up - A very close shot that emphasises a reaction.

Close-up   - Face and head; shows details of character.

Medium close-up     - Head and shoulders.

Mid-shot   - Just above or below the waistline.     

Mid-long shot      - Usually just above the knees.

Long shot     - Full length of figure - head to toe.  

Extreme long shot / wide shot     - A scenic shot that shows location , setting etc.

 





 

 

Mise-En-Scene Opening scence of jaws.

1. Sharks point of view as it swims.
2. We hear non-diegetic low, stringed music- associated with the shark.
3. Camera tracks past kids around camp fire.
4. Fire is source of light.
5. Girl and boy on edge of group- marked outsiders.
6. Medium close up of the girl- bars around her suggesting 'trapped'.
7. High angle shot - Boy and girl leave circle and run off into the darkness where there is no light.
8. Camera shows them running off to the sea and the wooden posts /  bars trap them, as their running further away, the music fades and the sea and their voices become more clear.
9. Long shot- sea is calm and the moonlight is reflecting on it- looks peaceful.
10. Sunset symbolises that its the end of the day / in this case the end of life.
11. Cut from long shot to close shot that makes the audience more involved
12. Long shot from girl in water, music comes back in and we have the sharks point of view.
13. Keeping the suspense and the music builds up.
14. When the girl goes under, the sound goes down as if no one / nothing was there - music suddenly drops as she dies.
