Narrative structure refers to the form used to tell a story in a film through a sequence of connected events. A typical narrative structure includes an exposition to introduce characters and setting, a rising action of main conflict, a climax turning point, falling action as most action occurs to resolve conflict, and a resolution restoring order. Todorov's narrative structure identifies an initial equilibrium, a disruption emerging as conflict, recognition of the disruption by characters, an attempt to repair the disruption, and achievement of a new equilibrium.

Harry potter Camera Work
This document summarizes several shots from a Harry Potter film that set the scene and establish characters. It describes an establishing shot that introduces the dark setting. It then analyzes a close-up of Voldemort and the Elder Wand that shows his emotion and the wand's importance. Finally, it examines shots that depict Voldemort's power from a high angle and Hogwarts under threat from the sky to build tension for events later in the film.
Conventions of the thriller genre
This document outlines several key conventions of the thriller genre in film. It discusses how thrillers aim to create suspense, tension, and excitement for viewers through stimulating their emotions. It also lists common sub-genres and describes elements that define thrillers, such as conventional characters like heroes and villains, investigations of mysteries, plot twists, violence, and tension. The document further examines how music, lighting, camera techniques, mirrors, and flashbacks are used to build atmosphere and tension in thriller movies.
AS Media Narrative structure in film
This document discusses key concepts in narrative structure and storytelling techniques in films. It defines narrative form as the structure through which movies tell stories. It explains that narratives follow a logical sequence of cause and effect events involving characters, their goals, obstacles, and choices. Common narrative structures include exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Films selectively depict events from the overall story through techniques like flashbacks and reordering to emphasize important moments. Character development, goals, conflicts, and choices drive the narrative forward.
Shots types
This document discusses different types of camera shots used in filmmaking. It describes establishing shots which show the setting at the beginning or when the scene changes. It also describes mid shots which show an actor from the waist up to provide facial expressions and some body language. Close ups focus on a person's face or a specific object to draw attention or show emotions. Point of view shots make the viewer feel as if they are seeing what a character sees. Over the shoulder shots show a person from behind their shoulder. Two shot compositions include two people in the frame. Shot reverse shot alternates between two characters during a conversation by placing the camera behind each person's shoulder. High angle shots depict a person as smaller or weaker while low angle shots
Mise en-scene
The document discusses various elements of mise-en-scene that contribute to how a film is perceived by audiences. Mise-en-scene includes everything visible in a scene from actors and costumes to lighting, setting and props. It is under the director's control and aims to convey meaning through realistic, symbolic or atmospheric visual choices. Specific mise-en-scene techniques are described like high-key lighting used in romantic films and low-key lighting for thrillers. Costumes, settings and plot structures can also influence audience interpretation and experience of a film.
Mise-en-scene 2
Mise-en-scene refers to everything visible within the frame of a film that has been deliberately placed there by the director to convey meaning. This includes the setting and props, lighting and color, costumes, makeup, facial expressions, positioning of characters, and visual effects. The document provides examples of how each element of mise-en-scene is used to provide information about characters, the narrative, time period, and location of the story.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses the evaluation of a short film opening sequence meant to emulate an action thriller genre. It analyzes several elements of the sequence: the use of blurred police lights and lack of revealing the prisoner's face help build mystery and tension. Shots where the prisoner's face is covered draw attention and change in music keep the audience on edge. Comparable films like "Escape Plan" and "Lockout" demonstrate similar techniques used to create suspense through shots of interrogations and escaping prisoners.
Presentation3
Mise en scène encompasses the most recognizable attributes of a film – the setting and the actors; it includes costumes and make-up, props, and all the other natural and artificial details that characterize the spaces filmed. The term is borrowed from a French theatrical expression, meaning roughly “put into the scene”. In other words, mise-en-scène describes the stuff in the frame and the way it is shown and arranged. We have organized this page according to four general areas: setting, lighting, costume and staging. At the end we have also included some special effects that are closely related to mise-en-scène.

Understanding micro elements in film openings
This document analyzes the micro elements used in the opening scene of the film "Psycho". It discusses the black and white aerial setting showing California suburbs. Props like a jug and cups are used to emphasize what the male character is doing for the female. Costumes are portrayed as very sexual with minimal clothing showing a close relationship. Shots include a lady looking up at a man talking, a close up showing intimacy, a medium shot capturing the situation, a long shot showing where she will enter, and a pan shot of the environment. Cuts are used to show the characters talking and being intimate. The pace is very fast with many cuts in a short time making the meaning more effective. Physical expressions, vocal delivery
Mise en-scene, camera and editing in thrillers
The opening scene of Final Destination 1 uses camera techniques like crosscutting and close-ups to build tension and foreshadow the plane disaster. Shots of the plane taking off in dark, stormy weather and a close-up of the main character's worried expression contrast with other passengers' cheer to suggest something bad is approaching. As the plane malfunctions, handheld camera shots create a sense of realism, quick editing mirrors the panic, and darkness leaves the audience in an uneasy state of "unknowing".
Story map
The document discusses the basic plot structure of stories, which includes exposition, initiating event, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. It introduces each component and provides a brief definition. For example, it states that the exposition introduces the characters and setting, while the initiating event gets the story going by introducing the conflict. It then provides an example from the story "Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters" and asks the reader to identify the exposition and initiating event in the first page, which establishes the setting in Africa long ago and Mufaro's daughters, with the initiating event being Manyara threatening her sister out of jealousy.
Micro-Elements
The document discusses various film techniques used in the movie Shutter Island including:
1) Extreme long shots, close ups, and medium shots are used to set the background story, show details of characters, and show body language.
2) Pans, tilts, and zooms are camera movements that scan scenes horizontally, vertically, and zoom in/out of frames.
3) Cuts and pace refer to transitions between shots and the speed of those transitions.
4) Mise-en-scene is the positioning of actors, scenes, and objects to tell a story or create an atmosphere.
Research into editing techniques
Shot-reverse-shot is an editing technique that alternates between close-ups of two characters facing each other during a conversation to focus on their emotions. Match on action ensures continuity by cutting from one shot to another that matches the same action, like walking up to a door. Elliptical editing allows events to be shortened on screen compared to their duration in the story, often used in walking scenes. The 180 degree rule maintains the left/right relationship between characters to avoid confusion when the camera passes over the axis between them. Parallel editing alternates between two simultaneous scenes in different locations to unfold parallel storylines or create suspense.

Cinematography and editing
Cinematography in post-apocalyptic films focuses on threats to characters using shallow focus and long shots to show danger. Shallow focus draws attention to specific objects while pans move it to other threats, like infected people. Long shots show threats like entering a dark tunnel. Editing creates tension through fast pacing that doesn't allow viewers to keep up with the frantic environment, keeping them unsure of what will happen next, as seen when a character fights a creature in I Am Legend.
Inception Camera Angles
In Inception, various camera angles are used to convey information to the audience about characters and the type of film. Close ups are used to show that Leo's character is under pressure and a criminal. A close up of stolen papers establishes his character as a thief. Medium shots show a character has a gun and power over others, and a criminal surrendering. Additional close ups reveal a hostage in pain and an angry character. Long shots display falling glass indicating violence and rushing water for action. Extreme close ups and shots of technology place the story in the future or as psychological science fiction. A medium close up presents a scared, anxious character.
Micro elements
This document defines and provides examples of various film techniques used in shot composition and editing, including shots sizes (extreme close up, close up, medium shot, long shot, extreme long shot), camera movements (track, pan, tilt, zoom), cuts, pace, performance, diegetic and non-diegetic sound, and mise-en-scene. Examples are taken from The Lord of the Rings films to illustrate these techniques.
Media camera shots
Close up shots show character emotions. Crane shots with tilts show the scene and focus on protagonists. Establishing shots provide context of the setting and how the scene will unfold. Extreme close ups allow viewers to see conveyed emotions. High shots show point of view or main focus. Long shots show entire settings and characters. Low angles show vulnerability. Mid shots commonly focus on characters from the waist up. Tracking shots follow characters or movements and can establish surroundings or lead to situations.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses the evaluation of a short film opening sequence meant to emulate an action thriller genre. It analyzes several aspects of the sequence that create suspense and tension for the audience. These include only showing blurred police lights at the beginning to avoid revealing details, increasing music during scenes at the police station, and keeping the criminal's face hidden for much of the sequence. It also compares conventions used in the short sequence, such as musical cues and limited facial views, to techniques used in successful action thriller films like Escape Plan and Lockout.
Activity 1 (Aesthetic Based Approach)
The document discusses the key elements of plot in a short story: exposition introduces the characters and setting, rising action focuses events around the conflict, the climax is the turning point where the problem is solved, falling action shows carrying out the solution, and resolution concludes the story by wrapping up the problem. It also includes a diagram showing the sequence and relationship between these plot elements.

Goodwin and Mulvey Music Video Theories.
This document summarizes some key theories about music videos put forth by Goodwin and Mulvey:
1. Music videos demonstrate characteristics of different genres through visual elements like luxury cars in rap videos and abstract imagery in alternative videos.
2. There is often a relationship between the lyrics and visuals of a music video, though this relationship can sometimes be questionable.
3. The pace and editing of music videos is usually linked to the pace of the song to help the video flow well.
It then provides some examples to illustrate these theories.
AS Media Evaluation Question 5
We conducted a questionnaire to understand our audience's interests in the horror genre and what they want to see in a horror film opening. We also held a focus group with 16-18 year olds to get their feedback on our horror opening sequence and how elements like mise-en-scene affected their reactions. The focus group confirmed that 16-18 year olds were the right target audience as they pay close attention to details and react positively to changes, even though they are more active.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Narrative structure
- 2. WHAT IS NARRATIVE STRUCTURE? Narrative structure refers to the form that is used to tell the story within a film, it is an account of the events occurring with a space of time. However, narrative structures do not occur randomly, everything is ordered by events which are all connected by cause and effect.
- 3. A TYPICAL NARRATIVE STRUCTURE CONSISTS OF: • Exposition: the introduction of the characters, location and the film reality i.e. ,the introduction of Independence day : Resurgence, consisted of the audience being made aware through sound bridge that the events take place 20 years after the previous alien threat. • Rising Action: The main conflict which the film is centred around is introduced. • Climax: The Volta (turning point) that may make the plot better or worse. • Falling Action: Where most of the action takes place in order to solve the conflict. • Resolution: The restoration of the equilibrium
- 4. TODOROV’S NARRATIVE STRUCTURE • Equilibrium; the normality before emergence of the conflict • Disruption of the equilibrium, the main conflict emerges. • Recognition of the disruption; The characters are now aware that an imbalance has occurred. • Attempt to repair disruption • New Equilibrium
