3. The enigma code is what makes you
carry on watching the film/show to find
out something that it not answered.
Giving an unanswered question makes
the audience intrigued and want to
know more. Curiosity makes the
audience continue to watch till the end.
Murder mysteries type productions
have a lot of unanswered questions like
"Who is she?" or "Where did he come
from?" or a popular one "Who killed
them?"
4. The sound is either on or off screen
depending on what it’s source is and
whether it’s in frame or not. Another
word for diegetic sound is “actual sound.”
Diegetic sound is any sound presented as
originated from source within the film's
world.
5. Sound whose source is neither visible on the
screen nor has been implied to be in the present
action. Some examples of this are:
– Narrators commentary
– Sound effects
– Mood music
6. With editing you:
• Remove unwanted footage.
• By getting rid of bad or useless footage, the whole film can
look a lot better.
• Choose the best footage for the production.
• It’s a smart idea to shoot more footage than needed, so you
will not use all of it.
• Put together footage to create a good flow.
• A film must flow well or the audience wont want to watch it.
• Add effects, music, graphics, etc.
• This can define a film more like by adding music for that film
genre.
7. It’s a story or account of events, experiences, or
the like, whether true or fictitious. This account
is shown by n a sequence of written or spoken
words, and/or in a sequence of pictures.
8. Close up
– It’s a shot which
tightly frames a
person/object. It’s one
of the standard shots
commonly used
alongside medium and
long shots. They have
the most detail.
Medium close up
– It’s similar to a close
up but oppose to
being just the head. Its
more of their body
and background.
Long shot
• Shows the entire object or
person.
9. A film is defined differently to different people.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences, American Film Institute, and British
Film Institute all say a film is longer than 40
minutes, but the Screen Actors Guild says that a
film is 80 minutes or longer. The majority of
feature films are between 70 and 210 minutes
long.
