Series – CSI
A Series is a show that is broken up into episodes and series. With each episode
in the series being standalone episodes that can be viewed at any point, by
anyone regardless of how many that have watched previous and they would be
able to understand character roles, the plot and what is happening in the show.
An example of this would be the CSI series. In which the different cases are all
split up into different episodes, yet do not directly effect what happens during
episodes that come after it. The reason that Series are successful is because they
offer a viewing at any point style. Which means that you don’t have to sit through
hours and hours of a Season to understand the plot lines and characters. These
standalone, typically hour long episodes are to watch fast and not worry about
missing anything essential to the plot
Serial – Coronation Street
A Serial is like a series but something where the episodes following on from one
another directly affect what is going to happen in the next episodes. The reason
why film makers use this is because they want to reward peoples patience for
continuously watching their shows over and over following a storyline so that a
climax is built up and there is tension to watch the next episodes, for a cliff-
hanger to happen and then all build up to a climax.
An example of a serial TV programme would be TV Soap such as Coronation
Street. A Serial that has been doing on for decades that follows the lives of people
on this on street in Manchester. The reason why this is so successful as a serial is
because characters have been in this soap nearly all their acting lives, and have
made a living appearing only in Coronation Street, and the stories have
developed with them over every episode they appear, changing their
personalities and perceptions of them to the audience.
Single Camera –
Single camera shooting is a technique that uses just one camera to shoot an
entire scene. This methodology is used as the alternative to multi camera
shooting and requires multiple shots to recreate what a multi-cam shoot would.

The positives of single camera shooting are that you are able to spend a lot less
to get the shots you need. Instead of investing in multiple cameras to shoot a
scene, you only need to purchase one, and more of the budget can also be
allocated to the camera so you can buy a better camera meaning better
production quality. The reason why this is important is because low budget
companies are able to match industry standard videos with using a lot less
equipment.
Another positive of single camera shooting is that less people are required in the
crew to operate and therefore can lead to smaller production teams that are
more efficient and cost less. Due to paying the crew for a shooting day, transport,
food and everything on the budget sheet. Technically a single camera shoot
interview could all be done by one person, to set the camera up and interview a
person it wouldn’t be a difficult skill to do and would dramatically reduce the
production crew size.
There is also more control over the shots that are being taken with single
camera. Rather than a director worrying about certain shots with it being rested
on the shoulders of the cameraman. This way of having more attention on just
one camera than just many makes the quality of shots much more detailed rather
than going off the skill of a camera man, but instead off the directors thoughts.
Compiling clips is also much easier on single camera shooting, as all the shots
that are taken are all on one camera as opposed to it being on many others, this
is much helpful during the stage in which clips are stored, and especially if they
are shot off a shot list that isn’t in chronological order. This makes this stage a lot
easier, and the risk of loosing clips is a lot less due to the easy nature of
transferring every file off one memory card.
However, there are many other disadvantages with single camera shooting,
despite all of its advantages.
The camera has to always be moved whenever there is a shot change because of
course there is only one camera. This means that it is a lot less efficient and time
consuming. The theory that time is money comes into play here. Would it be
better if the production company pay a little more than they did for the
equipment so that shoots are done, signed and sealed at a much earlier time?
This is personal preference for a company, but can harm the overall production
with longer shooting times.
If the camera has a fault, breaks, or the card fails or any other negative extremity.
Then all the work potentially could be lost, and unfortunately there is no luxury
of falling back on other clips off other cameras. Also, if there is no back up
camera you are left with nothing to do with your work at all, which is a very
serious problem.
Genre
A genre is a type of media form that is directed at a specific theme. The reason
why different films are split up into different genres is so that all people
regardless of their tastes, interests and personalities are all segmented into
different viewing criteria for each. For example, the style of a Musical is much
different from the style of a Horror. This is because the tones of a musical piece
would rely heavily on the music and how it matches with the story line, relates to
the characters and how it its relevant to the story, an example of this is Mamma

Mia. Where as something like Saw, is more reliant on its storytelling through the
use of suspense, horror and jump scares to make the audience want more.
Narrative Structure
Linear - Boyhood
A linear narrative structure is where the story follows a chronological order of
events. The reason why films are shot like this is because they are easy for an
audience to follow. They are so basic within their story as they have a beginning,
middle and an end. Most films will use this type of narrative structure. Mainly
because it will appeal to a wider audience as it is easy to follow. An example of a
Linear structure film, is Boyhood .in fact it is so linear, that it follows a young
boys real life over a period of 12 years, from being a child right up to being a
grown up. The reason why this story is easy to follow is, we follow one character
throughout the whole film and see him get older and grow up. Us as an audience
are aware of what is happening due to the same character just aging as the film
progresses.
Non-Linear – Pulp Fiction
A non-linear structure is where a story jumps back and forwards between
different time zones within the movie itself. The reason a film maker may use
this technique is to appeal to more critical movie critics, who straight away will
be able to tell of the quirkiness of the storyline and how it appeals to people with
a more advanced cinema mind. Another reason is so that the story may flow
better, a character may bring up an old quote or event from the past, and the
story then might jump backwards to this event and play out the rest of the film
from there. A classic example of Non-Linear is Pulp Fiction, in which the starting
scene is actually the end scene of the film. But the end scene of the film
chronologically is middle part of the story as a whole. And the gold watch scenes
during the middle of the film, are actually the chronological end. This mind-
warping way of realising a film is true to the reason why filmmakers use non-
linear storylines, to provoke theories and awareness of how strange the film is.
Flashbacks –Forrest Gump
Flashbacks are where a scene within a film has a moment where time is taken
back within the films context and has a point of interest to what is currently
happening. This is different to a non-linear structure, as instead of directly
affecting the storyline, you already know what has happened after it. And
flashbacks offer a way for an audience to relive what happened to a character if
he or she has referred to a previous event. A classic film portrayal of flashbacks
is Forrest Gump. When he is sat on the bus seat waiting, with people sat with
him. He offers them stories about his past, which he narrates over. This life story
of Forrest is shown with flashbacks to when he was a child, when he met Jenny
and when he was in the army. These flashbacks serve as iconic moments in
Forest Gump’s life as he tells these people about his story.
Realist – The Inbetweeners
A realist film is a film that all aspects of it are realistic and relatable, something
that reflects real life and is common and not something that would not be
considered to be out of reach with society. An example of a realist media product
would be the inbetweeners. It follows around a group of teenage boys that all
represent some form of a typical person in Britain around the time it was

released. You had the clumsy, stupid but funny Neil. The cheeky, lying, over-
confident Jay, the more realist Simon and the Nerd who is strong spoken in Will.
All these different characters all work together to create a group that go through
real issues in modern time for teenagers, may that be girl issues, parties, first
time drinking, trying to sneak into a bar underage. All of these are realist because
they will want to connect with an audience, and as the target audience is the
same age as the characters in the story, it would make more sense for them to
also have the same activities, interests and realistic goals as the target audience.
Anti realist – Star Wars
An anti realist story is something that isn’t achievable in todays modern society
perpetrated through the means of a film. The reason why filmmakers choose to
use anti-realist films is because they will want to flex their creative muscle and
show an audience about an idea in their head that doesn’t exist today. An
example of this would be Star Wars. Originally, nobody took to the idea of a
space soap opera, set ‘A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away’ with spaceships,
aliens, lasers and other unrealistic items. But the reason why this anti-realist film
works is because of how anti-realist it is, that it appeals to people. People can get
tired of seeing realist shows, as they are what they go about their normal lives
doing. They are used to seeing films and TV shows repeat this aswell and want
something different, a change and to see something creative and make them
shocked at how crazy and unreal this product is.
Open and closed endings
Open – The Dark Knight Rises
An open ending is an ending that is open to interpretation and debate where
sometimes multiple watches are needed to understand more about the ending,
the future and what happens past the ending of the film. The reason why film
makers will want to use an open ending narrative is to spark debate, theories
and intrigue about how the story developed and what was to happen after the
film had stopped in terms of the timeline.
An example of this would be The Dark Knight Rises. The reason that this is an
open ending is that in the film itself, we witness Batman die in a nuclear
explosion, yet at the end of the film, we relive a previous scene of his butler in a
café in France, this Déjà vu sequence however, is changed. When as the camera
angle changes, we see Bruce Wayne sat across the way looking at him smiling. So
if Batman is alive, how is he alive? What happened after he sees him in the café?
Or as well is he even alive? Was this just a vision? Also in the same film, we
witness what people presume to be the Heir to Batman’s sidekick, Robin enter
the Bat cave, and his time in that bat cave is mimicked by the first time Bruce
Wayne went into that same cave, to which then we presume robin is inducted
into his superhero character. The reason why this is also open ended is because
we don’t see if he accepts the role, and what happens after weather he does or
doesn’t. The ending is up for debate.
Closed Ending – It’s a Wonderful Life
A closed ending is a definitive ending that has no debateable ending and what
happens in the film is the be all and end all to it. It is not up for debate. The
reason why film makers may choose this way of ending a film is so that there is
closure, with a beginning a middle and an end. We as an audience are satisfied

with the viewing experience as everything that has happened within the film
itself, and does not need further investigation form either other films or text
around the same time as the film was set, or does not need human debate or
interaction to all come to a generalised conclusion. An example of this would be
the Christmas classic It’s a Wonderful Life. In which the ending of the film is
settled. We as an audience see him come back to his normal reality where he is
so delighted he runs down the street telling everyone Merry Christmas, to which
then as he comes home people help him with his money problems, and the Angel
gains it wings at the end, to which he looks up in praise and happiness as the
man who helped save his life got his recognition and all is settled within the film,
leaving viewers teary eyed at the happy, satisfying ending.
Technical
Camera
Techniques of using a camera during shoots.
Different Angles
Low Angle
A Low angle shot is used to give the effect of inferiority. By having a low angle
shot, the background usually is blown out of perspective with a foreground
object, making them or it look a lot taller than yourself. The reason why
filmmakers use this is to show that someone or something is bigger than a
person in question. It can also often be incorporated with POV shots.
An Example of this is in Quentin Tarantino’s cinematography. A code and
convention of his work is using Low Angle shots, usually after a killing scene
where the killers look down on their victim. An example of this is the boot scenes
in Pulp fiction, the way these work is that you are given the look as if you are
helpless. This is also used in Inglorious Basterds, where two characters look
down in pity upon a victim, yet again giving the effect of helplessness.

Eyeline
Eyeline angles are used to be on the same level as the subject or person we are
looking at. It gives us opportunity to not look down or up on a person and for us
to just look at them, these shots are used primarily during conversational shots
where such shots as over the shoulder shots are used, this effect gives us a
smooth to look at effect, where we can see where and who a person would be
talking to and for us to look as if were looking in on their lives.
An Example of this is in love actually, where this over the shoulder shot helps for
an easy viewing where we can establish location, who the male character is
looking at, who the female character is looking at and allows for easy reading
and cutting between the two different shots when another character takes on
conversation.
High Angle
A High angle shot is used to show the effect of standing over someone, this shot
is used when the subject of the shot is made to look inferior to what is behind the
camera. This effect gives away the effect of being vulnerable and worried as if
someone or something bigger than them is intimidating them. It can be used as a
suspenseful shot, where we do not know what the power is that is behind the
character and standing over the subject.
In this scene Thor and Captain America are looking up above them, in the next
shot we see what they are looking at, this is a technique of revealing a scenario
by using a small suspenseful shot. When the next shot is shown, a low angle shot
is used to show their inferiority to the subject that was being hidden by the high
angle shot. The reason that this works is because it shows us that there is a force
that is larger than them and this effect gives the effects of what I mentioned
before, of Inferiority and being vulnerable.

Worm Eye
A Worm eye shot is a shot that is used to show a
Birds Eye
A bird’s eye view is a shot that is used to show the overhead location of a setting.
I can be used to show a locations plan, the setting, and movement, something
that the character wouldn’t be able to see. This effect is used in the Day Dreams
in American Beauty, where the girl is lay down on a bed of roses where more and
more petals fall. The reason why this is effective if because the out of focus petals
slowly creep into focus the more they fall down, and this angle of the petals
falling gives this strange helpless effect of the girl, as if the character
daydreaming about her in a powerful way so much so she is at the expense of
him and this is all from the other effect of Birds eye where it works like a high
angle shot.
Different Shots
Extreme Close Up

8. Adam Paterson
Unit 22 Singer Camera Formats, Structures and Techniques

An extreme close up is a shot where the camera is focused on a very specific part
of a subject. This is used to draw huge attention to a specific part for an effect
that is very important to the story telling of a shot. For example on a keyboard,
an extreme close up would be a few specific keys that are being pressed. This is
to draw attention to the typing and show the actions of the person typing that it
is important.
An Example of an extreme close up us shown here on The Planet Of The Apes, in
which an extreme close up of the eyes of the Ape is used. The reason this is used
is to show the extreme intimidation of the Ape as he stares through the camera
and is looking at you. This creepy effect is a lot more effective than a normal
close up because the eyes are much more bigger on the screen to show emotion.
This emotional engagement is what makes this poster successful because the
emotion is going right through the screen.
Close Up
A Close up shot is a shot that is used in the same way as an extreme close up but
is used in a more lenient way; it is used a lot during talking scenes where a close
up is needed. An extreme close up would be useless in a talking scene as we
wouldn’t be able to see the mouth movement, and this would look strange to the
viewer. But if we can see the lips, mouth and jaw all moving, it feels and looks
better as we can see where the action (Voice) is coming from.
This example here, in Iron Man, shows when we see behind the Mask into Tony
Starks face, with the Display of the inside of his mask. This way of showing him
talking is much more better than just showing the outside of his mask and his
voice coming out of it as we are able to see his emotion and action.

Medium Close Up
A Medium close up is a shot that is from the chest and up, it is used to show the
face of the subject and also part of the background. This shot is commonly used
for interviewing scenarios, as the camera is at a distance away from the person
that we would commonly see them if we had a conversation with them. This
makes it so that when the clip is shown, we aren’t shocked by when an interview
in the frame fills up the whole frame with the persons head, and it is also not too
far so that we can see the persons face and mouth movement as they speak,
making this a lot more natural looking.
In this example with Superman, the medium close up is the perfect shot for
Superman. As the medium close up frames the top of his body with the bottom
cut off being just below the iconic symbol. During two shot scenes and over the
shoulder shots, this shot would also be used in the same context as the
interviewing shots. Where it looks natural, whilst also revealing parts of the
background but maintaining that the foreground subject is the main part of the
shot.

Mid Shot
The mid shot is a shot that frames a subject from the waist up and is in the
Middle of the body of the person in shot. This shot is far out enough to make a
half and half balance between the foreground subject and the background
geography. The reason why this is used can be used for action scenes and shots
where a subject make fill up or move around a frame so that no dead space is left
in any part of the frame and the shot is made.
In this example from The Hunger Games, Katniss is framed in a mid shot where
the frame bottom is just above her waistline, she is framed in the left third of the
frame, and the way that the middle, and right side of the frame are filled up is by
using the action shot of what she is holding and her stance, along with the
eyeline follow from her eyeline, that makes you look at the frame from left to
right. The reason why this shot works is because a close up would mean that her
bow and arrow wouldn’t be in the frame and it would make the shot have
questions; What is she holding? What way is she facing? What is her stance? Is
she ready to fire?

Medium Long Shot
The Medium long shot is a shot that is on the knees of the subject, this shot
reveals a lot of the background of the shot, whilst still making the foreground
subject the main piece of the shot. The way in which this works is by revealing
the background in relation to the subject, there is a direct correlation between
the both of them and helps establish where they are and being able to show their
entire body movement and what is in their surroundings also help the context of
the scene.
In This example in the Good The Bad and The Ugly, here we see out main subject
stood in the middle of the circle where they have a shootout. The shot is framed
in such a way that shows the relation between our character and the geography
of the scene. This shot is framed purposely like this as it breaks away from the
various close up scenes that happen before and after this shot. This shot also
shows the cemetery in the background. This framing can lead to assumptions
with the framing and help the storyline. The way that we know that one of the
characters will die, at the framing shows death behind them as if it is hanging
quietly behind them, waiting for one of them to die but we don’t know who yet.
Although that was a loose assumption, I was able to deter that analysis purely
based off a Medium Long Shot.

12. Adam Paterson
Unit 22 Singer Camera Formats, Structures and Techniques

Long Shot
A Long shot is a shot that if a subject were in the frame it would show the whole
body of our subject but is used to show the whole environment around them.
The main point that distinguishes this shot from the Medium Long Shot is that
there is more of an emphasis on the action rather than the emotion. This is
because the camera placement is too far away to see emotion on the face of a
subject but it is far away enough to show full action of a full scene.
In the example here there is no main subject in the scene, but the reason for this
long shot is that we are meant to see the entire action of what is happening in the
scene. The movement of the line dancers as well as the hustle and bustle of the
crowd and soldiers along the sides and bottom of the frame. The reason that this
shot works is because we are able to see the whole environment and what is
going on with just this shot.
Establishing Shot
The difference between an establishing shot and a long shot is that a long shot is
to show us action across the environment where as an establishing shot is used
to set the scene. The way this is used is usually at the start of a scene so that the
audience are aware of what is happening. Such things as the setting, the time of
day, the location, the lighting etc.
In the example here, the way the establishing shot works is by having a camera
on Westminster Bridge with the camera looking towards Parliament. The way
that this shot works is we as an audience are aware of the Country, City, Location
in the city, what the possible topic of the scene will be. From this we are able to
understand the possibly that the scene is based either in London itself or it could
be even more closer to the shot itself. It could lead onto a scene regarding British
Politics and the establishing shot sets the ball rolling by having the geography
setting.

13. Adam Paterson
Unit 22 Singer Camera Formats, Structures and Techniques
13
POV
A Point of view shot, shortened to POV, is a shot that gives the illusion that the
camera is not looking at a character but that instead it is a character. This illusion
is one way of breaking the fourth wall, by making the characters look at you, you
can feel what he character feels when the other characters look at him. You can
feel the awkwardness in the shot, the emotion of what is happening in the scene
and is a unique way of shooting.
Most creations have POV shots sparingly and only at specific points. Where as
Peep Show is shot entirely in POV, with cuts being jump cuts to speed up tasks,
or cuts to jump from character to character. Peep Show uses POV to the point
where it has become iconic with the series. You hear thoughts of the character
whilst they are in first person, and put you in their shoes to feel what they feel.
This works perfectly because of this reason. Instead of using static close ups, we
use handheld moving shots that directly represent the movement of the
character that we are.

Lighting
High Key Lighting
High key lighting is used in moments where the lighting of the scene on a subject
is brighter and leans towards a really white looking image. This use of high
contrast between the dark and the light reflects happy moods and upbeat tones,
the opposite of low-key lighting. Just visually looking at the colours can lead to
assumptions about a character, the mood and the emotion of the scene. White
usually is used to represent purity and upbeat tones, so this lighting would be
more suited towards happy tones, such as Rom Coms, Comedies and Fantasy.
Low Key Lighting
Low key lighting is lighting that is much more less in terms of its overall
exposure on a subject and is usually typified by its used of high contrast and
shadows to create a dark, moody looking image that gives off dark undertones
and a meaning of darkness and hiding. It is used to convey a mood in context of
what the media topic is. Say for example it is a music video that has a depressing
tone to the song, then low key lighting would be more suited towards this
because the moods and emotions it would give off would mimic the tone of the
song.
In this example from The Dark Knight the joker is shown in low-key lighting, with
soft lighting on his facial features showing his make up and scar. The reason why
this is used is because he is the protagonist of the film, and dark lighting would
be the best logical way to light the character, In this particular scene aswell, the
shot is juxtaposed when the lights turn on, to change to high key lighting, and the
Batman is revealed behind him. Making the assumption that he is the darkness
and Batman is the light.

15. Adam Paterson

Sound
Diegetic
Diegetic sound is sound that is natural to the shot and something that would be
heard in the overall environment in the shot. The reason that this is used is so
that the shots seem much more natural to us and not jarring. Examples of this
include such things as talking in a scene, when the actor’s mouth moves to the
words that they are saying. Using non-diegetic sounds on talking scenes would
be bad to use, as it would look really strange when you overlay the words onto
the mouth movements.
In this example from Wayne’s World, the scene where they whole car sings
Queens Bohemian Rhapsody, diegetic sound is used of the song being played
through the radio, along with the people in the car all singing along. They way in
which this works is because we see all of their emotions, face movement and
body language and it all matches with the audio of the scene which is something
that makes this scene so iconic.
Non-Diegetic
Non-Diegetic sound is sound that is added on top in postproduction. The reason
that this is used is because it would be hard to make an entertaining media

16. Adam Paterson
Unit 22 Singer Camera Formats, Structures and Techniques
16
product using just authentic sounds recorded on set during the time in which it
was filmed. Non-diegetic sounds can be a range of different components, which
range from being ambient sound in the background of a scene that makes the
setting of the scene. Say for example if a scene is filmed at a blustery Cliffside
overlooking the sea, non-diegetic sounds we’d expect to hear would be the wind
blowing and the water crashing up the cliff and against the force of them. This
makes the scene a lot more realistic and believable, rather than a quiet scene,
which would take away an essence of the scene and make it look bland.
Non-Diegetic sound could also be such obvious things as soundtracks, motifs, or
even voiceovers. For example scenes in which someone might have a mask on,
their voice may be overdubbed in pre production. An example of this would be
Bane from The Dark Knight Rises, in which his lines were said authentically at
first for continuity within the production, and then done again in pre production
to be added over his original lines.
Editing
Scripting
To script a scene is to shown in depth planning about exactly what you want to
see on the screen as it happens for the viewer. This is taking into consideration
every possible variable so that the final product fits closely to that idea in your
head. The reason why we script scenes and not let actors improvise is so that
there is control over what is happening. We can plan dialogue so that it is
relevant to the story; can affect the story that will unfold or effect a previous
event. How their body language towards the scene is, how they deliver the lines
and how they emotionally impact each other’s character.

Building a Scene
To build a scene inside takes a lot of different factors. A director will want his
idea or creation to not be warped or adapted to fit with a current climate, and
may want to create their own environment inside with the help of architects and
designers who will create this mythical scene. Mice En Scene is an important part
of film making, and by having free and total control of all aspects of the
geography they are able to manufacture a setting to perfectly fit the scenario of
the content.
Building a story
By building up a story a filmmaker is able to provoke different audience
reactions by making the story have a theme, a tone and a meaning behind what is
happening. The reason why we have stories in films is because that is what they
are for. Every film, picture, image, play, drama all have stories in them because
that is what they need. The best stories are different, something we have seen
before and help provoke emotional responses from us, weather they be sad
emotions or overwhelmingly happy emotions.
An example of building a story and changing our emotions throughout is like in
the Shawshank Redemption. From the start we are lead to believe that Andy
Dufrane was a cold-blooded murderer. And the audience has the perception
about him of anger and hatred. Yet throughout the story and as it develops. We
see his bond with other decent inmates as they all seek their redemption through
helping others. Old Man Reds library is remade from the ground up and names in
his honour. He helps a kid become literate by teaching him English and helping
him in being a teacher to him. Along with the narration of Morgan Freeman’s
Character, we as an audience resonate with Freeman. As his perceptions of
Dufrane change at the same rate as ours. We saw someone who wouldn’t belong
in prison, change his whole life and those around him to eventually escape and
frame the criminal manager of the prison to eventually run away to his dream.
This way of story building helps us to see a strong relationship between
characters and us. Affecting us by helping us relate to them and feel sympathy for
Andy.
