The document provides an overview of cinematography and film techniques. It discusses key concepts like shot composition using rules of thirds, depth of field, camera angles, movement, and lighting. The director of photography leads the camera, lighting, and electrical crews and works to implement the director's vision through cinematography. Understanding these techniques helps viewers analyze how meanings and ideas are conveyed visually through film.
Camera shots and angles can be used to convey different meanings and perspectives. Long shots provide context by showing a subject and their surroundings, while close-ups concentrate on specific details like facial expressions. Shot types also indicate distance from the subject, from extreme long shots taken far away to establish landscapes to medium shots that frame subjects from the knees up. Camera angles like high angles make subjects seem smaller while low angles imply dominance. Oblique tilted angles can suggest imbalance or a character's point of view.

Sound plays an important role in television drama by creating moods and signaling events. There are two main types of sound: diegetic sound, which comes from within the world of the story, and non-diegetic sound, which comes from outside the story world, such as music. Both types of sound are used to create realism and manipulate the audience's emotions. Theme tunes are also important as they establish the mood of the show and act as an audible cue that the program is starting.
The opening scene of City of God establishes the setting of a poor slum in Brazil and introduces the central characters.

Horror films commonly use close-up shots to create atmosphere and increase audience fear by showing character facial expressions. Close-ups reveal emotions and create emphasis, according to film theorist Goddard who believed they were invented for tragedy. Extreme close-ups, as in Hitchcock's shower scene in Psycho, add dramatic effect. For a horror film trailer, the document author will use various close-ups of the main protagonist only to increase audience involvement and tension as she is in danger.

Shaun of the dead opening title sequence reviewOllieCroucher
Ìý
The opening title sequence of Shaun of the Dead establishes the main character Shaun and shows him in his regular pub setting. The non-diegetic music sets a tone that is both cheery and creepy. Scenes of people's daily routines like work and waiting for the bus depict them as behaving automatically and without expression, resembling zombies. Clever transitions like a passing car seamlessly move between scenes. The sequence concludes by showing Shaun walking zombie-like while tired, foreshadowing the film's blending of everyday life and the zombie genre.
