Amazing! How did you find the activity? Were you able to see the differences between the two pictures?
Great! Kids, the two pictures a while ago show the usual settings found in a film. Sometimes the setting or location is dim or dark, and sometimes it is bright and even colorful.
Thus, this aspect gives a different atmosphere as watched by the viewers and mostly sets a kind of mood. So, what is a film? A film... Also called a movie or motion picture, consists of moving pictures that have been recorded so that they can be shown at the cinema or on television.
A film tells a story or shows a real situation. The process of filmmaking is both an art and an industry. Are there different forms of films?
Yes! There are different forms of film such as action, adventure, comedy, crime and gangster, drama, epics or historical, horror, musical or dance, science fiction, war, and fantasy. Remember I asked you about your favorite film a while ago.
Kids, in order to communicate key messages to an audience, producers of films use certain conventions and devices such as lighting, blocking, direction, characterization, acting, dialogue, setting, and setup. Let us discuss them one by one. Number one, lighting.
It's a convention of films used to create a specific atmosphere. It is a very important aspect for shaping meaning in films. It can manipulate a viewer's attitude towards a setting or a character. Number two. Blocking is simply the relationship of the camera to the actors.
Essentially, it is the physical movement of the actors relative to the position of the camera. Number three. Direction. It's the process of making sure that every component of a movie runs smoothly. Number four.
Characterization. It's the process by which the writer reveals the personality of the character. Characterization is revealed through direct characterization or indirect characterization.
Number five. Acting. It's the actor's way of expressing what his character is thinking and feeling.
It includes facial expressions, body language, and the delivery of lines and has a big effect on the way an audience responds to what is happening in the film. Number 6. Dialogue. It's the exchange of spoken words between two or more characters in the film or moving pictures.
Number 7. Setting. It's both the time and geographic location within a film. The setting helps initiate the main backdrop and mood for a story.
Number eight, Setup is also called Set Design. It refers to the creation of a scenery that depicts the look or physical appearance of the set for a film. It is often structured or built-in studios. It can also be outside. locations kids do you understand our topic awesome kids i believe that you're now ready for some fun field activities i want you to get your pen and paper this is just a five minute activity directions identify what form is depicted in the following films choose your answer inside the box and write it on your paper.
