The 5 C's Of Media

1.Camera Angles:

• When 'telling' the audience where the film is set, use a long shot, this lest you show all the inportant information. The subject takes up the full frame, or at least as much as comfortably possible.

• A medium shot is the most commonly used shot in cinema, it is used to show any character interaction.    Shows some part of the subject in more detail while still giving an impression of the whole subject.

2.Continuity:  Generally refers to visual errors disrupting the flow of the film, confusing the audience.

3.Cutting:  this is essential, otherwise films would be in real time and never end, it allows the director to change location, main use is to either add pace to a scene to make it exciting or to slow it down for dramatic emphasis.
4.CloseUps: Used to show the audience something/someone important.  A certain feature or part of the subject takes up the whole frame.
                        

5. Composition : this allows more than one thing to be in a shot at once, so the audience can see the backdrop for example as well as a prop all in the same scene.
