A film, also called a movie
or motion picture, consists
of moving pictures that
have been recorded so
that they can be shown at
the cinema or on
television. A film tells a
story or shows a real
situation. The process of
filmmaking is both an art
and an industry.

17. In order to communicate key messages to
an audience, producers of films use certain
conventions and devices such as lights,
blocking, directions, characterization,
acting, dialog, setting, and set-up.

18. 1. Light
- Is a convention of
films used to create
a specific
atmosphere. It is a
very important
aspect for shaping
meaning in films. It
can manipulate a
viewer’s attitude
towards a setting
or a character.
Natural Lighting High Key Lighting
Low Key Lighting

19. 2. Blocking
- Is simply the relationship of
the camera to the actors.
Essentially, it is the physical
movement of the actors
relative to the positive of the
camera.

20. 3. Direction
- Is the process of making
sure that every component
of a movie runs smoothly.

21. 4. Characterization
- Is the process by
which the writer
reveals the
personality of the
character.
Characterization is
revealed through
direct
characterization or
indirect
characterization.

22. 5. Acting
- Affects the way an
audience responds.
This includes facial
expressions, body
language, and
delivery of lines.

23. 6. Dialogue
- Is the exchange
of spoken words
between two or
more characters
in the film or
moving pictures.

24. 7. Setting
- Is both the time
and geographic
location within a film
or within a work of
film. The setting
helps initiate the
main backdrop and
mood for a story.
This is where the
story or scene takes
place.
A Castle A Small Hut
An Underwater Palace An Enchanted Forest

25. 8. Set-up
- Is also called the
set design. It refers
to the creation of a
scenery that copies
the “look” or
physical
appearance of the
set for a film. It is
often structured or
built in studios. It
can also be outside
locations.

43. II. ANALYZING
PICTURES
A PICTURE THAT COULD MEAN A THOUSAND
WORDS…

44. Before you can analyze the characters and
setting, let us first learn the meaning of
print, non-print, and digital materials.
These are the different materials or
resources where we can get information.

45. Print Materials
- Refer to any
publication,
document, or record
including;
newspapers,
magazines, books,
photographs,
drawings, maps,
almanac, dictionary,
atlas, encyclopedia,
etc.

46. Non-Print Materials
- Refer to formats with
special characteristics
whose information
content can only be
accessed through the
use of machines/
digital equipment
such as e-books, e-
journals, electronic
images, audio-visual
materials, tape
recording, etc.

47. Digital Materials
- Refer to electronic
records and other
content (MS Office
files, PDFs, images,
audio or video files,
etc.) that were
originally created or
stored in a digital
environment (like
phones, computers,
internet, etc.)

48. Basically, characters and setting can be
analyzed in print, non-print, and digital
materials. They can be analyzed in terms of age,
gender, race, nationality, attitude, or behavior.
The setting can also be analyzed using these
materials.
age gender race/ nationality attitude/ behavior

49. Picture analysis is the extraction of
meaningful information from images by
means of processing techniques.
Characters can be analyzed in terms of
age, gender, race, nationality, attitude, or
behavior. A setting can be analyzed in
terms of urban (city) and rural (province),
affluent (rich) or poor.

50. LET’S TRY AGAIN…
Analyze the pictures by answering the given questions.

51. A B
1.Which picture has an urban setting?
2.Which picture has a rural setting?
3.Which picture can be described as affluent?
4.Which of the pictures can be described as poor?
5.Which of the pictures show a younger age group?

52. 1. What does the picture show?
2.What can you say about the character in the picture?
3.How old do you think is the person?
4.Do you think the character loves her work?
5. What do you think is the setting of the picture?

53. III. FINDING
MEANING IN
VISUAL MEDIA
THE GATHERING OF INFORMATION

54. What is visual?
It is something
that you look at,
such as a picture
chart, or a film
that is used to
illustrate
something more
appealing or
easier to
understand.

55. What is visual media?
Visual media are sources of
information in the form of visual
representations. These can be
abstractions, analogues, rough
illustrations, or digital
reproductions of the objects.
There should be an interpretation
of data, and sources may be
hosted on the internet, printed in
publications, displayed through
broadcast media, or otherwise
disseminated.

56. What are the types of visual media?

57. Infographics
poster
bar graph
pie chart

58. Let’s try to interpret:
1. What gender has the most
number of deaths?
2. What age range has the
highest death rate?
3. What age range has the
least death rate?
4. What is the source of this
update?
5. What is the date when the
data was released?

59. Let’s Review!

Action, Sci-Fi, Horror,
Adventure, etc.
Film conventions: light, blocking,

set-up
