What is cinematic technique?

Answer 1

=== === Examples of shot size (in one filmmaker's opinion)

The use of different shot sizes can influence the meaning which an audience will interpret. The size of the subject in frame depends on two things: the distance the camera is away from the subject and the focal length of the camera lens. Common shot sizes: * Extreme close-up: Focuses on a single facial feature, such as lips and eyes. * Close-up: May be used to show tension. * Medium shot: Often used, but considered bad practice by many directors, as it often denies setting establishment and is generally less effective than the Close-up. * Long shot * Establishing shot: Mainly used at a new location to give the audience a sense of locality. Choice of shot size is also directly related to the size of the final display screen the audience will see. A Long shot has much more dramatic power on a large theater screen, whereas the same shot would be powerless on a small TV or computer screen. * Aerial shot * American shot * Bird's eye shot * Close up * Crane shot * Dolly zoom * Dutch angle * Establishing shot * Follow shot * Forced perspective * Freeze frame shot * High-angle shot * Long shot * Long take * Low-angle shot * Master shot * Matte * Medium shot * Pan shot * Point of view shot * Reaction shot * Sequence shot * Shot * Shot reverse shot * SnorriCam * Talking head * Tracking shot * Trunk shot * Two Shot * Video frame * Whip pan * Background lighting * Cameo lighting * Fill light * Flood lighting * High-key lighting * Key Lighting * Lens flare * Low-key lighting * Mood lighting * Rembrandt lighting * Stage lighting * Soft light Main article: Film editing * A Roll * B Roll * Cross cutting * Cutaway * Dissolve * Establishing shot * Fast cutting * Flashback * Insert * Jump cut * Keying * L cut ("Split edit") * Master shot * Match cut * Point of view shot * Screen direction * Sequence shot * Slow cutting * Split screen * SMPTE time code * Shot reverse shot * Talking head * Wipe ** Clock wipe ** Heart wipe ** Matrix wipe ** Star wipe Main article: Special effect * 3-D film for movie history * 3-D computer graphics * Bluescreen/Chroma key * Bullet time * Computer-generated imagery * Digital compositing * Optical effects * Stereoscopy for 3D technical details * Stop trick * Stop motion In cinematography, the use of light can influence the meaning of a shot. For example, film makers often portray villains that are heavily shadowed or veiled, using silhouette. Techniques involving light include backlight(silhouette), and under-lighting(light across a character form). Sound is used extensively in filmmaking to enhance presentation, and is distinguished into diegetic ("actual sound"), and non-diegetic sound: * Diegetic sound: It is any sound where the source is visible on the screen, or is implied to be present by the action of the film: ** Voices of characters; ** Sounds made by objects in the story; and/or like heart beats of a person ** Music, represented as coming from instruments in the story space. ** Music coming from reproduction devices such as record players, radios, tape players etc. * Non-diegetic sound: Also called "commentary sound," it is sound which is represented as coming from a source outside the story space, ie. its source is neither visible on the screen, nor has been implied to be present in the action: ** Narrator's commentary; ** Voice of God; ** Sound effect which is added for dramatic effect; ** Basic sound effects, e.g. dog barking, car passing; ** Mood music; and ** Film Score : Non-diegetic sound plays a significant role in creating the atmosphere and mood within a film. Main article: Sound effect In motion picture and television production, a sound effect is a sound recorded and presented to make a specific storytelling or creative point, without the use of dialogue or music. The term often refers to a process, applied to a recording, without necessarily referring to the recording itself. In professional motion picture and television production, the segregations between recordings of dialogue, music, and sound effects can be quite distinct, and it is important to understand that in such contexts, dialogue and music recordings are never referred to as sound effects, though the processes applied to them, such as reverberation or flanging, often are. Techniques in interactive movies Main article: Interactive movie New techniques currently being developed in interactive movies, introduce an extra dimension into the experience of viewing movies, by allowing the viewer to change the course of the movie. In traditional linear movies, the author can carefully construct the plot, roles, and characters to achieve a specific effect on the audience. Interactivity, however, introduces non-linearity into the movie, such that the author no longer has complete control over the story, but must now share control with the viewer. There is an inevitable trade-off between the desire of the viewer for freedom to experience the movie in different ways, and the desire of the author to employ specialized techniques to control the presentation of the story. Computer technology is required to create the illusion of freedom for the viewer, while providing familiar, as well as, new cinematic techniques to the author.
