Modes of address
Is how the film communicates with us, the
viewer.
There are three ways we can look at how the
film communicates with the viewer:
1. Its formality (or social distance)
2. Its point of view
3. Its directness
 In film we can identify the formality of part of
a film through its use of shot types in a
scene.
 these shot types effect how emotionally
attached or detached the viewer feels to the
characters.
 Lets watch this scene (link here).
 The formality can either be;
◦Intimate (or informal)
◦social
◦Impersonal (or formal)
INTIMATE
(or informal)
 We put the viewer
into the subjects
personal space by
closing down the
distance between the
camera and the
person we’re filming.
 Does this makes us
feel emotionally
attached or detached
to the character?
social
 This shot is social,
we are able to relate
to the characters
without being
uncomfortably close
to them, or so far
removed that it is
hard to relate to
them.
Impersonal
(or formal)
 This shot is
impersonal because
we are far away from
the subject, meaning
we are emotionally
detached from them.
 Directness refers to whether the subject of
the video looks / talks directly to the viewer.
 This is described as either direct or indirect.
 What format of video can you think of where
the presenter directly addresses the
audience?
 Do the presenters talk to the viewer using a
voiceover?
 https://youtu.be/FtghP5HJNww?t=3m29s
 Do the presenters look directly at the viewer
down the camera lens?
 https://youtu.be/Xc0z1KTy71U
 Is it just in news & factual programming that
we expect a direct mode of address?
 https://youtu.be/a5Ha3IWeXOo
 Why might we want to directly address the
viewer?
Point of view refers to whose perspective the
narrative is told from.
In film it is less obvious than in books whose
point of view a story is being told from,
however if we look at how scenes are filmed
and the use of voiceover we can identify this.
1. Subjective
2. Selective
Often referred to as a POV shot, it is where we
directly see the scene through the characters
eyes.
 Why might we want to film a scene in POV?
 https://vimeo.com/137187831
This is where the film mainly follows one
character, but the camerawork is not from their
actual viewpoint.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h2BB1vo
27s
 Working alone, watch one of the movie
scenes on moodle and explain the modes of
address the film-makers have used to
communicate with their audience.
 You will need to think about:
◦ Formality
◦ Point of view
◦ directness
