Film: A bunch of still photographs been played 24 photo per time creating an illusion of the photos moving.

The Film was so badly damaged that it became stuck in the projector

Cinema: Discussing and analysing all aspects of film and film making

Cinemas is no longer about just watching the movie, it is also about buying the soundtrack, reading the book etc.

Shot: It is a continuous piece of film without getting interuppted from the time the cameras on till it’s off

When filming a conversation you film speaker a then speaker b then speaker and back and forth over and over again.

Edit: A edit is when one shot ends and the next starts.

When a scene finished it is edited to the next scene

Scene: It is a collection of shots arranged through editing into specific order.

There was a scene where a man was talking to the lady at the cafe.

Frame: a single image on the camera.

In horror movies you can see the reactions of the people within the frame but you are never able to see the monster outside the frame.

Diegesis: Where the things in that world occurred. Some narrative parts that are not shown on the screen but happened in that world

In Star Wars Luke Skywalker was getting trained while the death star was been fully completed.

What is a Narrative? List three films in which Narrative is extremely important.

  1. Rock N Rolla
  2. American Beauty
  3. Fight Club

What is Genre? List six different styles of Genre and list two films for each different style of Genre.

Horror: Frankenstein and Night of the living dead

Comedy: Jay and Silent Bob Strikes back, Pineapple Express

Science Fiction: Star Wars, Star Trek

Action: Die Hard, Lethal Weapon

Drama: The Green Mile, Forrest Gump

Musicals: Sweeny Todd, Grease

What is Intertextuality? How would you best explain this to someone who had never heard of it? Give three examples.

It is when someone inside the movie talks about another film or text to pass out messages.

Example: Jay And Silent Bob talk about a chasing Amy which is a movie which they are in.

Example: Someone will have a flashback showing what has happened.
