Document Summary
Set 1 the audiovisual design of a film. The elements of structure include the camera, light and color, production design, performance style, editing, sound, and narrative film form another term for structure preproduction the stage of filmmaking that precedes the shooting and sound recording of scenes. The director is generally the key member of the production team controlling and synthesizing the contributions of other team members. While directors work under a producer, in practice producers generally allow directors considerable creative freedom running time the amount of real time it takes a viewer to watch a film from beginning to end. Most commercial films run between 90 and 120 minutes story time the amount of time covered by the narrative. This may vary considerably from film to film. Perceiving this internal tempo, viewers label films as fast or slow moving, yet internal structural time never unfolds at a constant rate.
