Lighting Zara Bhatti
Ìý
Films require lighting because film and video see contrast in a much more extreme way than human eyes. Without additional lighting, shadows will be too dark and highlights will be completely white in films. To make a scene look natural on film, it requires enough lighting to allow the film to see the scene similarly to how the human eye sees it. Lighting also helps set the mood of the film and is necessary for many situations where natural light alone would not properly expose a scene, such as night exterior shoots.Genres in short films 
Genres in short films Zara Bhatti
Ìý
There are four main genres of short films: romance, comedy/dark comedy, sci-fi/fantasy, and drama. Romance films follow characters' journeys to love, often dealing with passion and emotion. Comedies and dark comedies aim to make audiences laugh, sometimes through humorously dark stories that usually have happy endings. Sci-fi and fantasy films are set in futuristic or imaginary worlds that rely on technology or the imagination. Drama films portray real-life situations. Film noir is not a specific genre but has a mood of cynicism and deals with crime stories involving a disillusioned male and seductive femme fatale.Claude levi strauss nt

Claude Levi-Strauss was a media theorist who studied hundreds of myths and concluded that humans make sense of the world by seeing binary opposites such as good vs evil, weak vs strong, and man vs nature. His theory was that narrative structures are based around these conflicts between binary opposites, which are at the climax of the story. Levi-Strauss' theory suggests binaries like a generic middle class family contrasted with the protagonist selling herself for income in one film.Claude levi strauss nt

Claude Levi-Strauss was a media theorist who studied hundreds of myths and concluded that humans make sense of the world by seeing binary opposites such as good vs evil, weak vs strong, fast vs slow, man vs nature. He discovered that narratives are structured around these binary oppositions, with the conflict centered around the oppositional climax. Levi-Strauss' theory was that mythic structures are based on the use of binary opposites to define theoretical positions against one another.Conventions from real media texts

The document discusses conventions taken from the film "We're the Millers" and applied to the author's own film. Some conventions that were used include having the protagonist Sarah portrayed as a seductive yet maternal character similar to Rose Miller. Additionally, both films start the protagonists in an unethical living/financial situation and end with the protagonists finding love and a happy ending. Family is a main theme in both but the author's film explores the theme in a more sexualized way between husband and wife.Focus and depth of field 
Focus and depth of field Zara Bhatti
Ìý
Depth of field refers to the area of an image that appears sharp, and can be manipulated to achieve different visual effects. It is determined by the aperture, focal length, and focus distance of the camera. A wide aperture results in a shallow depth of field where parts of the frame are out of focus, while a narrow aperture creates a deep depth of field where the entire frame is in focus. Selective focus using a shallow depth of field draws attention to a specific area by keeping it sharp while blurring other parts of the frame.Asa
