Document Summary
Framing and shots: an image (frame) is much like a single word, a shot is like a complete sentence, a scene is like a paragraph, a sequence (grouping of scenes) is like a chapter. The single, continuous take of material that is recorded each time the camera is turned on. Foreground & background: objects or action closest to the camera is foreground, objects or actions away from the camera is background, this creates depth to the image. Almost famous- this is the story of a teen who poses as a music blah blah (cid:271)lah : once you know the context you can start to make interpretations. Usually establishes the location of where the scene will take place. ***never a cheap shot but very economically efficient cuts through pages quick. Do big shot first to try and get the expensive stuff out of the way. Then you can do the close ups/break up of shots.
