Document Summary
Just as mise-en-scene employs elements originally found in the theatre, the cinematographic properties derive largely from photography. Film involves duration in a way that photography can"t. We want to: identify techniques associated with cinematography, think how cinematography interacts with other elements in a film. Three words we want to distinguish: scene, shot, sequence. Shot: it is one uninterrupted image (that which lies between to edits) Scene: a segment in a narrative film that takes place in one time and place (scene can be distinguished from shot and sequence). Usually shot is smaller than scene a scene is usually made up of multiple shots. Sometimes, we can have a scene rendered in a single shot. What is incredible rare: when a single shot contains more than one scene. Sequence: a single stretch of action or a portion of a film of a varying size. A sequence can include from one to many scenes.
