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.

Mise En Scene in film

 According to materclass.com, mise-en-scene is a phrase for the setting of a scene in a play or a film. It includes persons who are positioned on the stage or in front of the camera.  Mise en scène can help elevate a film from a collection of moving pictures to a work of art. Many diverse aspects, like setting, lighting, actors, décor, makeup, and so on, come into play to make this happen. Ultimately, the mise-en-scene of a film achieves not only the ability to convey to an audience the mood, drama, and likely occurrences of a scene or sequence, but also its affecting intensity, style of feeling, and the power to inspire the viewer to feel deeply as well.

Filming & Production

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

I filmed at school and I mainly used a tripod and a variety of handheld shots. I also made a variety of changes after I made my script and storyboard and I added some shots that were not planned, however, I did believe they would make my extract more meaningful. For my filming, I used an iPhone 8, iPhone XR, and a Canon rebel T100. For my lighting, I used a portable stage light I bought on amazon but I did not really like the way the shots came out so I did not really rely on the lighting. My establishing and master shots were done outside my house and the rest were done on the inside. I did film a shot of a town on the way to my Grandfather's house and I guess you could say the...

Scripting

The first step in planning a film is the script. The script connotates the plot of the film, it tells the story and order of the scenes while also describing the actions and dialogue of the characters. i began by looking at examples of other scripts done by professionals, they showed me not all scripts are the same and scripts are not only limited to the film conventions, they can be used for other aspects of media.  The image above is a script demonstrating a scene from the Disney animated film "Frozen". I used this as an example to make my own script. However, I wanted to make a non dialogue film script so I went and found an example of a film script that did not consist of dialogue. The image above shows a scene scripted from the animated movie, "Shawn the Sheep", this film contains no dialogue whatsoever so it was a perfect example of a non-dialogue script. My script: After reviewing many other scripts, I tried to come up with the best script for my openings seq...
