The incorporation of the many conventions of media in film

 The main components of media studies are some of the first things taught to most media students. these main components are Mise En Scène, sound, cinematography, and editing. Mise En Scène is the altogether appearance of the set/ scene from the props to the stage design and actor placement in scenes for film production, as well as the visual arts in general. Essentially it would be reasonable to conclude that Mise En Scène covers the overall visual representation of a film. Furthermore, because it encompasses all auditory and listenable parts of media, Sound is one of the more straightforward notions in film. Sound is an important component of audience stimulation and is evident in everyday media use. Cinematography covers the technical aspects of visual representation in film. The basic composition of a scene, the lighting of the set or location, the choice of cameras, lenses, filters, film stock, the camera angle, and movements, as well as the integration of any special effects, are all examples of cinematography. The process of turning separate scenes and shots into a whole motion picture is known as editing in film. To put the final movie together, shots are trimmed or combined. masterclass.com defines mise en scene as, A term used to describe the setting of a scene in a play or a film is mise en scène, pronounced meez-ahn-sen. Everything, including humans, that is placed on the stage or in front of the camera is referred to as this.

The term "mise en scène" literally translates to "the act of putting on the stage" in French. The term's origins can be traced back to stage theater, where it relates to the placement of performers and scenic objects; but, as it became more widely used in other storytelling arts, its meaning altered.

Editing in film making

 According to infoplease.com, editing impacts the rate, and thus the atmosphere, of a film in three ways: The length of a shot is determined by the editor. In general, the slower the pace, the longer the shot duration. What goes into and out of a sequence is up to the editor. Editors make judgments such as transitions, editing and splicing scenes, arranging shots and scenes, and determining what additional modifications should be done to the scenes after they have been filmed, such as lighting, adding more music and sound, and adding text.

Filming & Production

Filming and Production   My filming process was not as easy as I initially speculated.
