Editor's Notes
- Explain in general terms that what directors use certain techniques to envoke a certain response in their audience How do you respond to these pictures? How do you feel about the people pictured and/or the location? How is this feeling created? Stimulate discussion around things like Mise en scene (setting, props, cotume facial expressions shot, make up), Cinematography (camera position, colour lighting, framing etc)
- How do you respond to these pictures? How do you feel about the people pictured and/or the location? How is this feeling created? Stimulate discussion around things like Mise en scene (setting, props, costume facial expressions shot, make up), Cinematography (camera position, colour lighting, framing etc) Do the first one on the board as a class. Do the rest on paper and students walk around and make comments

- NOTE that are some differences from the way OCR GSCE grouped elements. In the Spec it lists these as some examples Photographic elements (eg camera position, colour, lens, depth of focus), Lighting, framing and composition, and special effects
- Let them know that there will be quite a lot of new terminology here but for now see what the know/remember
- Basically picking apart an extract from a film to demonstrate that they understand micro elements and the effect they have one the audience.
