Cinematography I
The person in charge of cinematography
How the image is presented within the 4 walls of the screen
When one shot transitions to the next shot
The objects used by actors in a scene
This is the most unique thing about Benjamin Button as a character
He aged in reverse
The type of shot where someone's eye fills up most of the screen
Extreme Close Up
When the camera is positioned behind someone, looking on to what they're looking at
When the one shot switches to the next shot, following the movement of a character or object in the scene
Costuming that is meant to look like or represent clothing of a specific older era, such as a movie taking place in 1920s New York, and has clothing that was popular in New York in the 1920s
Period costumes
The kind of band that Andrew plays in in WHIPLASH
Jazz band
The name for what is sharp and easy to see, versus what is blurry and hard to make out
The type of lighting derived from the sun
When the editor switches between two of the same shots repeatedly, often in a phone conversation that takes place in two locations
List two things you can learn about a character from their costuming
(Any two of the following):
Social status | Career/job | Age | Where they live | Maturity level | If they care about their appearance | Time period they live in | etc.
In ARRIVAL, this is Louise's job before being taken to the aliens. (It's why they chose her!)
Linguist or linguistics professor
When the camera does not move during a shot
When the camera is positioned low to the ground and looking up at someone, giving them a sense of power
Low angle
When the editor switches from a shot of something to another shot of something else that looks very similar. Ex: Switching from a shot of the moon to a close-up of a snowball.
Costumes inspired by the fashions that were popular at the same time the movie was made. Ex: A movie made today that takes place today and features the clothing of today.
Contemporary costumes
This is the first person able to see the ghosts in BEETLEJUICE.
Lydia
When a camera is in the air looking straight down at something, like a neighborhood
When the camera rolls for a long time on the same shot, uninterrupted by the editor (the shots don't switch)
The fancy French phrase that basically means "everything we see on screen"
Mise-en-scene
