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.
