Document Summary
Spatial organization starts when content or intensity curve begins to rise. Basic temporal unit of a motion picture = shot: group of shots = scene; series of scenes (that follow one direction) = sequence o. Shot usually held for 1-10 seconds; held for several minutes = long take/composition of depth. Basic types of movements: movement of actor, movement of camera, movement of shot. Film doesn"t respect real space & time o. Filmmakers always made sure that the audience was aware of a connection between broken spaces in time (created a link so as to maintain a coherent story) If making an angle change (or image size change), it needs to be drastic or it won"t pop (more than 30 degree change); looks like a mistake if less than 30 degrees. Shapes, color schemes, & textures need to be similar/same. Mise-en-place: filmed like it was on the stage (beginning to end)
