About the sound effect
The sound effect for the movie takes a huge role in the film. It powerfully shows how audio can crucial for the dramatic stakes of a scene, what we hear can tell us a story. The gasp that the sound effect is given to us while watching the film.

Framing & Storyboard
A current TVC
Earliest Cinema
Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat (The Lumiere Brothers, 1896)
Audiences' reaction: the film undoubtedly astonished people unaccustomed to the illusion created by moving images.
When the motion picture camera was invented; the shots were simple and straightforward. The filmmakers turned to dramatic presentations they called filmed plays (the camera is positioned as if it were a member of the audience seated in theatre)
L'Arroseur Arrose or The Sprinkler Sprinkled is a silent comedy film from 1895, produced and directed by the Lumber brothers
The problem is when viewing a play, audiences are watching 3 dimensional objects (caused by distance and actors) but on screen; filmmakers soon realised that it was flat.
So what they did was to breakup the action into shots and sequences (separation) to create fragments of reality. Because the filmmakers is telling the story, he/she determines which fragments of reality is seen and in particular order (later called editing)

Cinema technique is all about manipulating shots and sequence that isolating part of it to look at and in what order to see them.
Cinematography
➼ Motion picture/ Film/ Video is made up of many shots.
➼ Each shot requires placing the camera in the best position for that particular moment in the narrative.
➼ Shot is continuous view shot by one camera without interruption.
➼ Sequence is a series of scenes, or shots, complete in itself.
➼ Scene defines the place or setting where the action is laid.
➼ A scene may consist of shots or sequences depicting a continuous event.
Shot Size
Shot Size : ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ♡ watch here
The shot size determines how large the area that's visible within the frame.
➼ Extreme wide shot
➼ Wide shot
➼ Medium wide shot
➼ Medium shot
➼ Medium close-up shot
➼ Close-up shot
➼ Extreme close-up shot
Camera Angle
Composition: Rule of thirds divides the frame into third
both horizontally and vertically. The points where the
vertical and horizontal lines cross are aesthetically pleasing
spots to place subjects or to have perspective lines converge.
Screen Direction
Dynamic Screen Direction: Constant screen travel depicts subject motion in one direction only. A series of shots of a person walking, a car driving, a plane flying - should move in the same direction to show progression.

Storytelling in Film
Story: The set of all the vents in cause-effect relationship occurring in time and space, both the ones explicitly presented and those the viewer infers, constitutes the story.
Plot: Everything visibly and audibly present in the film, and material that is extraneous to the story world.
Story & Plot: Story = what happened? Plot = Why they happened? And how?
Plot Segmentation : The best method for understanding a film's narrative system is to create a plot segmentation, a scene-by-scene outline of the entire film.
Story Structure
Beginning : Setup/ Introduction of a story
Middle : Confrontation of a problem
End : Resolution of problems

Storyboarding
When the scene has a complicated action involved or few perspective point of view, storyboard is the most effective way to map out the scene.
Purpose of Storyboard
⇢ Show important action
⇢ Continuity/ Editing Point
⇢ Shot Composition
⇢ Indicate Camera angle/ Movement
⇢ Map out the scene
Camera angles for each sequence can be indicated in floor plan.
