Components of film

 Three basic components of film: 

•  Image 
•  Camera Movement
•  Sound 

Framing is as important for still photography  for film, since it works with mise-en-scène to determine the overall composition of the image. 

Mise-en-scène and Framing 

The two main things to pay attention to in a filmic image are mise-en-scène and framing. Mise-en-scène is a French term meaning literally “put in the scene,” and it was originally adapted from the theater. It refers to everything that goes into a film before it is photographed, including set dressing or location, costumes, lighting, actors, blocking (actor locations and movement), and dialogue. 

Camera Movement

Film is a series of photographs shown in succession at a rate of 24 frames per second to create the illusion of movement. This section offers suggestions for how to talk about a moving image. There are two main types of movement in film: 

Continuous and Discontinuous.

Continuous movement involves characters and objects moving within the frame, either as a result of their movement or of the camera’s.  The Discontinuous movement is a result of editing, in which two discontinuous bits of film are joined together by cuts such as dissolves, wipes, etc.

 Sound 

Film sound is as important as pictures. We should pay as much attention to sound as we do to the images. Use sound to help show where and when the film is set, draw attention to important things, create an atmosphere or set a mood, depict a character. Get the sound levels right. Very loud sound can distort; very quiet sound can have ‘hiss’. Sound can be classifies as
