In your exam, you are expected to analyse
and discuss the technical aspect of the language and conventions of
moving image in the extract's representation of individuals, places,
groups and events.
- camera shots, angles, movement, composition
- editing
- sound
- mise-en-scene
Section A: Textual Analysis and Representation
Camera Shots, Angle, Movement and Composition
•Shots: establishing shot, master shot, close-up, mid-shot, long shot, wide shot, two-shot, aerialshot, point of view shot, over the shoulder shot, and variations of these.
•Angle: high angle, low angle, canted angle.
•Movement: pan, tilt, track, dolly, crane, steadicam, hand-held, zoom, reverse zoom.
•Composition: framing, rule of thirds, depth of field – deep and shallow focus, focus pulls.
Editing
•Includes transition of image and sound –continuity and non-continuity systems.
•Cutting: shot/reverse shot, eyeline match, graphic match, action match,
jump cut, crosscutting, parallel editing, cutaway; insert.
•Other transitions, dissolve, fade-in, fade-out, wipe, superimposition, long take, short take, slow motion, ellipsis and expansion of time, post-production, visual effects.
Sound
•Diegetic and non-diegetic sound; synchronous/asynchronous sound; sound effects; sound motif, sound bridge, dialogue, voiceover, mode of address/direct address, sound mixing, sound perspective.
•Soundtrack: score, incidental music, themes and stings, ambient sound.
Mise-en-Scène
•Production design: location, studio, set design, costume and make-up, properties.
•Lighting; colour design
TIPS
Continuity editing creates a continuous linear movement of events and images in a story. Arranging the events of a film as if they appear in a continuous linear fashion.
Focus pull: explained HERE
Rule of Thirds: A technique in camera framing where the frame is divided into imaginary sections to create reference points explained here.
Match on action: Slideshare here.
Graphic match: A match cut, also called a graphic match is a cut in film editing between either two different objects, two different spaces, or two different compositions in which an object in the two shots graphically match, often helping to establish a strong continuity of action and linking the two shots metaphorically. Illustrated here and here as 'match cut'.
Jump cut: disturbs, jolts audience, the jump cut can create a jarring feeling, cause commotion in the scene and help to give the sense of ellipses in time. See here.
Synchronous sound: Sound that appears to be matched to certain movements occurring in the scene, as when footsteps correspond to feet walking.
There is support on the OCR website in the form of tutorials.
