Visual composition refers to the arrangement of elements within the frame of an image or video. Some key principles of visual composition include avoiding unnecessary elements, observing the rule of thirds to emphasize subjects, maintaining balance and simplicity, and keeping elements orderly. Composition establishes depth, emphasis and flow through techniques like selective focus, asymmetrical balance, contrast, color, leading lines and more. Proper composition varies by aspect ratio and shot type or distance from the subject.
The hardest part of being an independent contractor is not knowing when your next job might come along or who your next employer might be. Although this presentation is intended for film and media technicians, any independent contractor might find useful tips that apply to their profession.

Film Language: Camera angles and shot size introduction for Film Studies. Als...Ian Moreno-Melgar
A long PDF that has been used to introduce GCSE Film Students to the complicated process of identifying and explaining the use of camera shot sizes and angles. This is a fairly detailed series of slides which I have used in school for a couple of classes now. As it is a PDF the clips do not play but where possible I've labelled what the film is. Similarly, as it was designed to be used in lessons the overall 'structure' is somewhat disjointed and is missing slides that includes answers or ideas that were discussed in lessons. In order to help where possible, I've included large versions of worksheets so that these can be clipped and printed out if necessary. Many thanks for taking a look and please feel free to take a look at my other uploads as you will find plenty there on other aspects of Film Studies.

Cinematic terms assignment
Please look up the following terms, either on the internet or in a book, and provide concise definitions.
Aerial view shot
A shot taken from an airborne device, generally while moving. Backlighting (lighting design) The main source of light is behind the subject, silhouetting it, and directed toward the camera.
Ambient sound
Ambient sound (AKA ambient audio, ambience, atmosphere, atmos or backgroundnoise) means the background sounds which are present in a scene or location. Common ambient sounds include wind, water, birds, crowds, office noises, traffic, etc. Ambient sound is very important in video and film work.
Asynchronous sound
are not matched with a visible source of the sound on screen. Such sounds are included so as to provide an appropriate emotional nuance, and they may also add to the realism of the film.
Axis of action
also commonly referred to as the "180° line," is an imaginary line which defines the spatial relations of all the elements of a scene, correlating them to the right or left. The camera is not supposed to cross the axis at a cut, as that would reverse those specific spatial relations.
Backlight
Illumination from behind
Bird’s eye view shot
A bird's-eye view is an elevated view of an object from above, with a perspective as though the observer were a bird, often used in the making of blueprints, floor plans, and maps. It can be an aerial photograph, but also a drawing.
Closed frame
"Closed frames refer to shots that do not acknowledge or require the existence of off-screen space to convey their narrative meaning, since all the information necessary for this purpose is contained within the edges of theframe
Cover shot
a wide-angle photographic shot including a whole scene.
Crane shot
In filmmaking and video production, a crane shot is a shot taken by a camera on a moving crane or jib.
Crosscutting
Alternating (one sequence) with another when editing a movie.
Cut
In the post-production process of film editing and video editing, a cut is an abrupt, but usually trivial film transition from one sequence to another. It is synonymous with the term edit, though "edit" can imply any number of transitions or effects. The cut, dissolve and wipe serve as the three primary transitions.
Deep-focus cinematography
Deep focus is a photographic and cinematographic technique using a large depth of field. Depth of field is the front-to-back range of focus in an image — that is, how much of it appears sharp and clear. In deep focusthe foreground, middle-ground and background are all in focus.
Deep-space composition
a significant distance seems to separate planes
Depth of field
In optics, particularly as it relates to film and photography, depth of field (DOF), also called focus range or effective focus range, is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image.
Diegesis
a narrative or plot, typically in a movie.
Diegetic element

All lighting in the film falls under the category of natural or artificial. Natural lighting could come from the sun, moon, fire or anything else occurring in nature. Artificial lighting is things like streetlights, flashlights, LED lights and even the massive spotlights used in big production films. Ambient lighting is a crucial way to use lighting. It refers to any light the crew didn't bring. This could refer to car headlights, or the most potent ambient light - the sun.

This presentation is intended to give high school students a general overview of the equipment and challenges inherent in capturing sound in the field.
This PPT was created as a stand-alone class for anyone entering the film industry in New Mexico. It is mandatory for anyone adding their names to the IATSE Local 480 overflow list and can be taught by any union member acting under the auspices of the local.
This PPT was designed to help teach the concepts of Aristotelian 3-Act structure to high school students. Since the 1980's the writings of Joseph Campbell have been cited as the inspiration for the structure behind many successful films including Raiders of the Lost Ark, the Star Wars franchise as well as many of the popular comic book inspired films of today. For the classroom, The Wizard of Oz makes an excellent example of a film that fits the Hero's Journey model.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
