4. Mise-en-scène The things in the scene. All or some may be significant, but nothing is accidental - remember, this is not reality, it is a re-presentation of it. This will include actors, sets, costume, lighting. The Actors were planned and Chosen to be appear in the film The Lighting was well thought about The set design were thought about by the set designer, this is important as it helps the audience understand characters and so on.
5. Camera Work It is often used to show scenes of thrilling action for example in a war film or disaster movie. There will be very little detail visible in the shot, it's meant to give a general impression rather than specific information. extreme long shot on the left is taken from a distance, but denotes a precise location The director may use this to make us feel extra comfortable or extremely uncomfortable about a character, and usually uses a zoom lens in order to get the required framing Overhead Shot shows us the expression of the characters and shows what the character sees
6. Sound When analysing film you also need to consider SOUND. It is a vital part of the information used for decoding film- whether it comes in the form of a lush string soundtrack or footsteps echoing O/S down a corridor. This may be diegetic (coming from inside the narrative world of the film eg characters' voices) or non-diegetic (coming from another source - e.g. a voice-over or pumping music soundtrack). It can be further divided into dialogue (human voices), synchronous (matching actions seen on the images) or asynchronous (from unseen sources) sound effects, and music.
7. Editing Movies tend to go for continuity editing, a style also known as transparency (ie you don't notice it). Actions flow smoothly from one frame to another, and the audience simply follow the dialogue. Oppositional to this, and the style employed by many art-house films is framed editing, where the audience are continually reminded that they are viewing an artificially created text. Jump cuts, sudden stoppages of sound, When shots are placed next to each other in a sequence the link between them is known as a transition. The simplest of these is a cut, ie a straight splice from one section of film to another. There are many others - fades, dissolves, wipes, plus those offered by sophisticated digital software.
