Introduction
You are now on the hunt to find wild film terms in their natural habitat: the internet. Use the vast resources on the internet as tools to help you find actual examples of film terms to better help you understand and identify them in future films.
Process
Go through your film terms one by one, using google, YouTube, and the internet (in general) to help you “capture” each one.
Don’t be afraid to find specific pictures, videos, and/or links for each of your “prey.”
Think of popular movies, TV shows, commercials, advertisements, video games, etc…to help you on your search.
Use search terms like “high angle shots in movies” to guide you more easily towards your prey.
Task 1
Hunt down real-life examples of each of the following words:
- Frame
- Shot
- Scene
- Sequence
- Long Shot
- Medium Shot
- Close-Up
- Extreme Close-Up
- High-Angle Shot
- Low-Angle Shot
- Point-of-View Shot
- Diagetic Sound
- Non-Diagetic Sound
- Mise-en-scene
Find and “capture” the terms by finding videos, pictures, links, or by writing out a real-life example of each. Create a collection of them by making a word document, slideshow, google doc, etc…
Task 2
Once you have your collection of film term examples, go back and write a description for each explaining and proving how each one matches the film term.
EX: This picture is a high-angle shot because the camera is facing downwards over the character rather than directly towards or beneath the character.
Evaluation
You need to have a collection of examples for each film term by the end of your quest. It can be in a word document, google doc, slideshow, etc…
Make sure that each example, link, picture, and/or video has a description explaining why it matches with the film term.
