All Those Types!
Typically includes only documentaries
Realism
Illuminates one side of a face/object; darkens the other half
Side Lighting
An example of this would be the detailed view of an eyeball.
Extreme close-up
Nearly all sounds heard in the film, including ambient sounds (bird or footsteps) and intentionally added sounds (gun shots)
Special Effects
Two shots overlap. The first shot gradually disappears as the second shot becomes more prominent
Dissolve
Emphasizes symbolic characteristics of objects and people and excels in dealing with ideas
Expressionism/Formalism
Around what year did color begin to be used more widely in films?
The 1940s
Camera as a direct participant in action; often takes viewpoint of a character
Subjective (point of view)
Usually a long shot or extreme long shot offered at the beginning of a scene to provide context for later shots
Establishing Shot
Montage
This is also called "Formalism"
Expressionism
What does the color blue symbolize?
Cold, chill, serenity, tranquility
A panoramic view of an exterior location, photographed from a great distance (up to 1/4 mile away)
Extreme long shot
Often used to heighten tension or to give the audience a moment to absorb what has just happened
Silence
Alternating shots between two or more locations to suggests events are occurring at these places simultaneously
Cross Cutting/Parallel Editing
Characters are appealing and slightly romanticized.
Classicism
Soft, ethereal semi0silhousetting; often used in love scenes
Backlighting
Photographed from high above the subject, often looking straight down at the subject (there are two terms for this)
Bird's Eye View (outdoors)/Overhead (indoors) Shot
Disorienting, abrupt, transition between shots; usually involves a drastic change in time and space
Jump Cut
Editing is done more for dramatic intensity and emotional emphasis than for purely physical reasons
Classical Cutting
This film type has a loose plot with no clearly defined beginning, middle, or end
Realism
What do warm colors (red, yellow, orange) symbolize in film? (many answers...)
Aggressiveness, violence, stimulation; come forward or "pop" in most images
Camera physically moves sideways or backward/forward, often to follow a character or object without any cuts
Tracking shot
Showing unrelated shots to make a transition among the shots; alone the shots seem unrelated, but when combined, they comment upon each other and form a relationship
Juxtaposition
Editing to preserve the fluidity of an event without having to actually show all of it
Cutting for Continuity
