Technical Elements

Wednesday 2nd November (Session 4)
-This session were given a sheet which we discussed, this sheet was entitled 'Technical Elements to be analysed and applied to your Foundation Portfolio Product', this included four sub-sections; 'Camera shots, Angles, Movement and Composition', 'Editing', 'Sound' and 'Mise-en-Scene'. This showed us all of the many possibilities of cinematography, editing, sound and mise-en-scene, and, henceforth, highlighted just how important each decision is, and how relevant and appropriate it needs to be.
