Post 8:Film Language

 When creating a film there a 4 main themes which are vital when filming. These are :

• Editing
• Sound
• Mise en scene

Editing

This is a vital and one of the biggest roles when producing a film. Editing is a key way in which can change the way a film is made and can hook the audience into the film. Films such as Avatar have made huge amounts of money and is a major success due to the way it was produced and edited. Editing will be a vital part when I make my film, as editing is used in all action films through the adding of sound etc which makes the film more exciting meaning the audience will be hooked into it, resulting in high profit levels for the film industries. Also with the help of the camera and the cuts shots etc it makes the film more realistic and hooks the audience in.

Sound

This like editing is also a key aspect when creating a film. The music can either be non diegetic or diegetic, however it is the non-diegetic music which is the most effective one I believe. I believe this as it can depict how tense or exciting a scene within a film is. For examples in action films such as Fast and Furious the music used is fast and exciting which gets the audiences hooked into the film as they wish to see more and more. Fast music is perfect for action films as it represents the fast moving scenes within. However slower more calm music can be used in Rom Com films as it is better suited for the movie. Diegetic music is also important as it gives the film a more realistic fell to it and more believable.

Mise en scene

This is also a key aspect when filming a film. It sets the scene making it more realistic and believable which makes the audience feel like they are in the film, however if done in correctly in causes problems in the continuity and will be heavily critised and could cause the film to loose money and viewers.
