Camera work is important in film openings to set mood through angles, movements, and focus that emphasize aspects of the scene. Low angles make characters seem strong while high angles make them seem weak. Genres are defined by their narrative elements and use of techniques like camerawork, lighting, sound, and editing that are distinctive for each type of story. Narration determines the point of view that the story is told from, either verbally or through character actions. Lighting, sound, editing, and casting are also codes and conventions that filmmakers use to communicate specific ideas or meanings to viewers.

Unit 2,3 task 3
This document summarizes various film techniques used in a scene. It discusses the establishing shot at the beginning that shows the location. A close-up shot within the first 48 seconds focuses on a lady drinking from a cup. A mid shot from the waist up allows clear recognition of an individual while also showing what they are doing with their hands. Editing techniques like cutting, changing color schemes, and adding CGI or visual effects are mentioned. Parallel editing, which alternates between two simultaneous scenes in different locations, is highlighted as a type of editing. Mise-en-scene, props, and low key lighting are discussed as important aspects that relate to the mood and meaning. The document also distinguishes between diegetic sounds that are
Gattaca film techniques
The document discusses various film techniques used in the science fiction film Gattaca. It analyzes the mise-en-scene, including the sterile and minimalist settings that reflect the film's theme of a genetically "perfect" society. It also examines the cold, green and blue lighting, as well as the use of golden light for more intimate scenes. Sound design, with its emphasis on falling objects in the opening scene, and cinematography through close-ups are also summarized. Motifs in the film like stairs, swimming and DNA samples are highlighted for their thematic significance.
EDITING NOTES 1
The document discusses various techniques of film editing. It begins by explaining that most films use continuity editing to seamlessly move the story and immerse viewers. It then outlines some purposes of editing in drama, such as identification with characters and intensification of conflict. The document goes on to describe specific editing techniques like match cuts, jump cuts, cross-cuts, cutaways, and reaction shots. It also discusses transitions like fades, dissolves, and wipes. Overall, the key point is that editing is used to create meaning and guide the audience's experience, not just remove material.
Film Technique
Film technique refers to the methods used by filmmakers to communicate meaning, entertain audiences, and elicit emotional responses. Key techniques include cinematography, mise-en-scene, lighting, sound, and story structure. Cinematography uses shots like close-ups, medium shots, and wide shots from different camera angles. Mise-en-scene arranges all visual elements within a scene. Lighting sets the mood, and sound can be diegetic from visible sources or non-diegetic from outside the story. An effective story structure involves planning, writing, presenting, and refining the narrative.
Media edit def
There are several editing techniques used to transition between shots or scenes, including cuts, fades, dissolves, and wipes. Continuity editing aims to make transitions seem seamless. Matching actions and locations between shots maintains continuity. Cross-cutting suggests two locations simultaneously. Jump cuts omit parts of action. Long takes allow shots to remain for longer. Superimposing adds images or text over existing images. Slow motion edits footage to slow actions for effect. Sound can be diegetic, heard by characters, or non-diegetic, for audiences only. Incidental music enhances atmosphere.
Editing in detail

My Understanding of Thriller Genre – Codes and Conventions
Thrillers are characterized by moods of suspense, excitement, surprise, anticipation and anxiety. Codes and conventions, such as mirrors, lighting, shadows, sound, flashbacks, editing, and camera shots are commonly used in thriller films to elicit these moods and create tension.

Non-diegetic sound and music set the atmosphere while silence builds anticipation for something to happen. Overall, these cinematography elements help immerse viewers in the thriller genre.
Mise en-Scene
Mise-en-scene refers to everything visible within a shot or scene, including color, costume, props, sets/locations, blocking/performance, and lighting. It is a key part of film analysis along with semiotics, which refers to the use of signs and codes in all communication. When analyzing mise-en-scene, factors like color, costume, props, sets/locations, blocking/performance, and lighting are considered for what they reveal about characters, settings, and themes.

Genre research
Crime/drama films utilize certain cinematography, mise-en-scene, sound, and editing techniques to effectively convey themes of power dynamics, tension, and suspense. Some key conventions include the use of high and low camera angles to accentuate characters' power levels, close-ups to reveal facial expressions, low-key lighting to create a dark mood, diegetic sounds like creaking doors to build atmosphere, and cross-cutting during action scenes to build suspense. These cinematic elements come together to immerse viewers in the crime/drama genre.
Technical convetions to a thriller film
Thriller films employ several technical conventions to build tension and suspense. Point of view shots, tracking shots, and high or low camera angles are used to make the audience feel like they are experiencing the action alongside characters. Fast-paced editing with jump cuts shows simultaneous action in different locations. Mise en scene elements like low key lighting, isolated settings, weapons as props, and explosions create a dark and suspenseful tone. Eerie music, sound effects, and strategic silence are implemented in the soundtrack.

Media photos
The document analyzes different shots used to portray a character in a story over time. An extreme long shot is used to show the character's isolation in nature. A wide shot establishes the character's role in the environment. A medium shot captures the character surrounded by darkness with a fading sunset, suggesting he has embraced this side. Through close ups of the character's facial expressions and clothing, his mysterious and dark personality is revealed. The locations and character's changing clothing and demeanor indicate the story follows his inner struggles over a long period of time.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
