Week One: Research and planning


Technical elements: Technical elements consist of scenery (set), costumes, properties, lights, sound, and makeup
-Films often use softer lighting in romance movies to make scenes appear dreamy and ethereal
-Faces are zoomed in on to show the viewer the raw emotion on the characters face
-Diegetic sounds and background music can make the scene calm and soft, or bring action and suspense
-Mise en scene elements are always used in films, but not all viewers can pick them out easily 
-Filmed in a style that makes you feel as if you are apart of the movie, not like the fast paced filming of an action movie
