Document Summary
Editing and the mise-en-sc ne are the two basic elements of a lm. Everything that goes inside the scene: physical setting and decor, staging of the action, composition of all those materials, framing of all those materials. Pan & scan is bad, because you are missing part of the lm (making the image bigger so that widescreen is not a problem) Framing everything that falls within or outside of the frame. Everything is important: composition looking at a painting or photography, with movement embedded. Everything that appears how the frame is constructed. There is a single focus, or a multiple focus: dominant contrast the formal quality within black and white or colour. Something that is calling our attention: intrinsic interest a speci c element that calls our attention immediately. The way the movement is combined with the lines also draws our attention and affects our connotations and emotions: line what lines are being produced.
