Language of film

 Film Language

What am I learning?

I am learning to identify the different language used in the creation explaining to you what terms are used in film making.  For example Body Language, Make-up, Colour, Lighting, and so on...  This will basically be a dictionary specifically for the art of film.  

Body Language: Used to identify characters feelings 

Costumes: Used to create a character’s personality

Hairstyles: Just like costumes it brings out a character’s personality

Make-Up: Used to change the look and bring out a personality of a

set character

Colour: Used to set the mood of a set Red could mean angry and

Blue could mean Sad 

Lighting: Also used to set a mood and makes something important

stand out more than

other things 

Props: Things used in scenes to make it more interactive 

Setting: Used often to continue stories or describe surroundings

Dialogue: To increase the plot or share something new about

a character

Sound Effects: Used to create a mood so the audience can sympathize 

Music: It is used to set a mood for the scene 

Silence: Used to make it scene more serious or scary in a way 

Symbols: A object used to represent an idea 

Special Effects: Used to make the film look more people realistic 

How does this work show my learning?

It represents my version and how I understand the language of which directors/filmmakers use.  This is an easier explanation.
