Description


  1. Select contemporary article relevant to material covered
  2. Include three - five sentence summary
  3. Include one - three sentence explanation about article's relevance to discussion

There are two techniques that govern the shot:

1. Mise-en-scene (which we explored last week), and

2. The topic for our next two weeks: Cinematography. There are two primary components to understanding cinematography:

  • The Photographic Image
  • Framing

This week's discussion will focus on "The Photographic Image" (textbook pages: 159 - 177). As you read the chapter, you will notice numerous stills used to illustrate techniques filmmakers use to affect the viewer's experience of the film including:

  • Selecting a range of totalities (contrast, exposure, tonality after filming)
  • Manipulating the speed of motion (fast-motion, slow-motion, ramping, time-lapse, high-speed cinematography)
  • Transforming perspective (focal length, zoom lens, depth of field and focus)
  • Special Effects (superimposition, rear projection, matte work, digital effects or computer-generated imagery (CGI))

The Assignment:

1. Choose a scene of filmmaker whose work you deeply respect.

2. Post a still or Embed a YouTube clip (Links to an external site.) of the selected scene (Note: include the name of the film, director and film's year of release)

3. Briefly discuss at least one (1) element (from the list above) of the photographic image, as it appears in the selected scene. In your discussion, be sure to include how the element of the photographic image you've chosen does one (1) of the following:

  • Affects the viewer's reception of the film

OR

  • Establishes a filmmaker's distinctive style.

Part II:

Comment on two (2) of your peers responses.

As a reminder, the goal of the comments is to enhance our weekly subject matter. Hence, comments should discuss specific terms, examples, and language intrinsic to each week's discussion. For example, if you notice another photographic image at work in the scene that your classmate chose not to focus on, discuss it. Do not merely state how you "like," "love," or "appreciate" what one of your peers has written.
