This is my powerpoint I made for my media course. It's for micro elements in film openings.

1. Micro Elements in Film
Openings

2. Extreme close up
An extreme close up is where only an eye, or maybe just the face of a person or
creature fills up the screen. They are generally used to further display the
importance of an emotion of a character.
There aren’t any extreme close ups of a person in the opening, so i have chosen
to use this example of the wheel on Max’s car instead.

3. Close Up
A close up is where you can see just the head, or just one part of the body of a
character. In this example, you can see the face of Max’s hallucination of his dead
daughter.

4. Medium shot
A medium shot shows only the head and chest of a character. In this example,
you can see only the top half of Max as he’s about to make an attempt at
escaping.

5. Long shot
A long shot shows the whole body of a character. In this example, you can see
Max standing next to his car, looking out at the desert.

6. Extreme long shot
An extreme long shot is where the camera is set up very far away from the
subject. They are used to present loneliness or even hope. They show you the
landscape very well so will create a clear image on where the film/scene is set.
In this example, you can see the where the film is set, and what the world had
turned into since the water and oil ran out.

7. Track
Tracking is where the camera follows a character as he/she/it moves and is
generally shot from the side or behind the person. Tracking can be used to create
different moods, depending on the genre of the film.
In this example, the camera follows Max as he runs through the rooms and
corridors, looking for a way out.

8. Pan
A pan is where the camera moves to the left or to the right. The example i’m using
from the film isn’t apart of the opening, but as the vehicles are driving forward, the
camera moves from the left hand side to the right.

9. Tilt
A tilt is where the camera tilts/moves up or down.
In this example, the camera moves up so you can see the face of the villain as
he’s putting his mask on. (this part is just after the opening)

10. Zoom
Zoom is where the camera zooms in or out on a character or object.
In this example, the camera zooms out away from the car as it drives. This could
also be used as an example for Tracking because the camera follows the car.

11. Cut
A cut is an edit, where one scene starts right after the other. For example, in Mad
Max: Fury Road, while Max is being taken away by the villains, the next scene
shows up (without any transitions), where he is being tattooed and having his hair
cut off.

12. Pace
The pace is the speed of the shots. In Mad Max: Fury Road, there are quite a few
fast paced moments. The pace is changed to keep the audience intrigued.
One example from the opening would be near the end, where Max is trying to get
out of the cave. At first, when he’s having his hair cut and his blood details
tattooed on his back the pace is quite slow, but as soon as one of the villains gets
a hot metal stamp to burn a logo on him, Max attacks them and runs out to make
an escape, speeding up the pace. During this, there’s a lot of shouting and a lot of
action where the villains catch Max but fail to keep hold of him, allowing him to run
off again.
With this sudden change of pace, the audience should be more interested and
would want to obviously keep watching and enjoy the film.

13. Performance
The performance is basically how the actors perform.
An example could be how the actors play the role of the villains when they’re
pulling Max back into the building in the cliff. They act madly desperate to get him
back, and start laughing, snarling and cheering as they do so.

14. Diegetic
Diegetic refers to actual sound which is visible on screen, so would be things such
as:
> Character’s voices.
>Objects
>Music being played from instruments in the story space.
An example from my chosen film opening would
be the sound of the bike and car as the villains
drive through the desert.

15. Non Diegetic
Non Diegetic refers to commentary sound, which is invisible, so would be things
such as:
>Narrator’s voice/commentary
>Sound effects added for a dramatic effect
>mood music
An example from my chosen film opening would
be when Max narrates the story so far at the very
beginning of the film.
“It was hard to know who
was more crazy.
Me…
Or everyone else.”

16. Mise en scene
Mise en scene includes the make-up, costume and props used in the scenes/film.
In these examples, you can see the make-up that’s been used for the villains. You
can also see the clothes that Max and the villains wear.
The costumes here show you that it’s very hot, as the
villains are only wearing trousers, and those who are
wearing shirts, will wear short sleeved and loose
fitting ones.
