FIST 100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: 180-Degree Rule, Mise-En-Scène
Document Summary
A film is composed of many many shots. The mise en scene touches on what is included/excluded in a film. With when to cut a shot and its contents to the next shot. Between each shot no matter what the content is something happens our brains make a connection between the shots. Shots cut together are put together due to their relevance and coherence with each other. Always think of the relationship of shot a and b. Between every shot a dynamism exists so there is some dynamic answers for the audience to get an understanding. Stasis vs. background, when one doesn"t move vs. everything else moving. Rhythmic editing of putting shots, abcd, to create tension or help ppl to relax. Putting shots next to each other at a certain length of time. Ending with a disconcerting long shot as something else comes in. Seeing the shot from one side to the other.
