FILM TERMS

Exercise 36. There are a lot of film terms connected with types of shots, editing, sound,

Camera movement and angles, that can be useful for a movie analysis.

Do you know them?

A) Match the film terms with their definitions.

1. Shot	A. It focuses on detail / expression / reaction. Viewing a person it shows either head or head and shoulders.
2. Scene	B. Camera moves from side to side from a stationary position.
3. Storyboard	C. A single continuous shot made with a camera moving along the ground.
4. Montage	D. The image appears or disappears gradually. Often used as a division between scenes.
5. Parallel action	E. It shoots down at subject. Used to increase vulnerability, powerlessness, decrease size.
6. Long Shot	F. Drawn up when designing a production. Plans AV text and shows how each shot relates to sound track. (Think comic strip with directions – like a rough draft or outline for a film.)
7. Medium or Mid Shot	G. Narrative strategy that crosscuts between two or more separate actions to create the illusion that they are occurring simultaneously.
8. Close Up	H. It is framed from a particular character’s point of view. Audience sees what character sees.
9. Tracking shot	I. The ending of a shot. If it seems inconsistent with the next shot, it is called a jump.
10. Reverse shot	J. Musical soundtrack.
11. Subjective Shot / POV	K. Continuous, unedited piece of film of any length.
12. Pan	L. Overall view from a distance of whole scene. Often used as an establishing shot – to set a scene. Viewing a person it will show the whole body.
13. Tilt	M. One image fades in while another fades out so that for a few seconds, the two are superimposed.
14. Tracking	N. All sounds that are neither dialogue nor music.
15. Low Angle Camera	O. A series of shots that together form a complete episode or unit of the narrative.
16. High Angle Camera	P. Camera moves to follow a moving object or person.
17. Cut	Q. Consists of dialogue, sound effects and music. It should reveal something about the scene that visual images don’t.
18. Fade in or out	R. Spoken words laid over the other tracks in sound mix to comment upon the narrative or to narrate.
19. Dissolve	S. It shoots up at subject. Used to increase size, power, status of subject.
20. Soundtrack	T. It can give background information while still focusing on subject. Viewing a person it usually shows waist to head.
21. Score	U. A shot taken at a 180 degree angle from the preceding shot. It is commonly used during editing a dialogue, angle may vary from 120° to 180°.
22. Sound effects	V. Two shots edited together that alternate the characters, typically in a conversation situation.
23. Voice-over	W. Camera moves up or down from a stationary position.
24. Shot-reverse-shot	X. The editing together of a large number of shots with no intention of creating a continuous reality. It is often used to compress time, and montage shots are linked through a unified sound – either a voiceover or a piece of music.
