Welcome to my first blog post of Introduction to Film Culture.
This exercise invites us to consider what we know about several cinematic terms and make notes on what I understand by them, and I am embarrassed to say – very little. Below is the list and my initial ideas what they mean:
Auteur – unknown
Cinematographer/director of photographer or DoP – I understand this to be the “head or chief cameraman” he creates the cinematic look the direct is want to active.
Cutting room – the act of editing a film; hence the term of phrase cutting room floor.
Cross-cutting – switching to between scenes give the illusion they are happening at the same time.
The inter – cut – unknown
Deep focus – large depth of field
Edit – suite – where a film is edited and soundtrack mixed
Foly – sound effects produced to enhance those that would hard to capture while filming e.g. door closing, breaking glass, etc
Mise-En-Scene – the overall look of the film.
Montage – a collection of short clips edited together
Production designer – the person with responsible for the overall look of a film
Pre-Production – work that is done before filming starts.
Principal photography – the filming of the actors at work
Post-production – the work that is done after filming has stopped e.g. editing
The above are my initial notes I will compare these and edit upon the receipt of Film Studies: The Basics
