The first category of design I will be evaluating is the lighting. Many different tactics are used by the lights to illustrate different effects on the audience. One thing done is the color of the lights changed frequently. This was used to change the scene from day to night, change the weather, change the mood of the characters, and more. For example, the sunset and sunrise was often shown when the characters were aboard and on the beach of Neverland. Another tactic used by the lighting crew was changing the angle of the

In the early 1900’s silent films amazed audiences with images, later talkies impressed with sound, today we have 3D. As technology continues to evolve so too will film genres. Genres, while having some shared characteristics, also differ in terms of stylistic devices used. For instance, the dramatic film “The Notebook” effectively uses color to reinforce theme and has plausible performers as the two main protagonists.

During the process of envisioning and designing a film, the director, production designer, and art director (in collaboration with the cinematographer) are concerned with several major spatial and temporal elements. These design elements punctuate and underscore the movement of figures within the frame, including the following: setting, lighting, costuming, makeup, and hairstyles.

It is arguable that production design drives the film’s narrative and mise-en-scene. In contrast, it may also be effective without it as it has been portrayed in earlier films. On the other hand, along with technology, it helps create better production designs on props, costumes, makeup and construction, making it easier for filmmakers and their production design team results to an even outstanding movie. As a matter of fact, Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel was an exhilarating film because of the unusual use of production design that was created by Adam Stockhausen. Moreover, the overall design concept collaborating with Wes Anderson, the specific challenges Adam Stockhausen face while making this film and the overall look of this film

The auteur theory was introduced in the film industry in 1954 when Francois Truffaut claimed that directors are significantly using their films to express their personal ideas (Thompson and Bordwell 33). The importance of the theory has been under criticism in the recent past. Critiques have questioned the basis for which a director would be recognized as “author.” Moreover, there have been concerns on whether the auteur is recognized more based on the creative aspects of the film or on the scripts that he/she chooses to display in the film. This paper would seek to assess the components of a director’s film that are highly influential in his recognition as an auteur.

Films are arguably the most synthetic medium for storytelling, combining music, visual design, dialogue, performance, and plot into one package. Each one of these elements might be considered a platform with which to create a narrative, but it is the combination of individual components that ultimately separates the great movies from the merely mediocre.

Making movies is an art that requires a lot of expertise in different fields. To make a movie, many people are involved in creating scenes alone. To many movie and television fans, the people that make a movie famous are the actors that they see in the scenes. What they do not know is that there are a lot more people involved in creating a film. They are the writers, cameramen and, of course, the director.

Elements and principals of design are incorporated into all forms of art to include film. Film has a way of merging all the forms into one motion picture, providing the audience with both visual and auditory elements of art. Within those elements are deeper levels of creativity.

Mise-en-scene refers to the manner in which various elements, aspects or content of a framing are arranged to bring out the themes of a movie or any artwork in the manner the creator intended. Mise-en-scene is a French term meaning to arrange on stage (Bordwell & Kristin, 45). Hence, it simply refers to the actors, props, costumes, décor and lighting as they appear in the framing of an art (Barsam & Monahan, 3). The main components of mise-en-scene are dominance, lighting key, angle, colour values, lens, density, character placement, staging positions and camera and character proxemics (Corrigan & White, 15). For a film, the main elements of mise-en-scene are camerawork and the frame. Thus, all the elements appearing in film shot forms its mise-en-scene. This paper discusses how mise-en-scène provides an understanding of characters, place and of the main characters’ experience in the Steve McQueen-directed film, 12 Years a Slave. It also

The editing process of a movie is a very important part in which a film editor can proudly show his creative abilities. A lot work and effort goes into editing a film. Film editors can edit out a scene from a movie that they did not like. They can also shoot two scenes separately and then edit it together to make it seem as if it was shot together. The film editor works with many parts to make a finished movie; such as, sound, images and characters’ dialogs. Editing can be used in many different ways in a film and a film editor must edit all these aspects in a way that produces a coherent and smooth transition of the story.

Establishing the difference between the story and the plot allows one to determine the effect each element has on the understanding and interpretation of the piece. It also provides a way of tracking the continuation of events and the relationship between seemingly isolated moments in time. Film Art clearly defines both story and plot but acknowledges that there is a significant overlap between the two functions and allows a flow within the film. The plot is the presentation of the events, in chronological order and includes the events that are seen, inferred and assumed by the viewer as opposed to the story. The story refers to the way in which the plot is presented, the ‘personality’ imposed

The stop-motion industry has continued to flourish thanks to its imaginative creators. Using innovative artistic choices and method, stop-motion directors have been able produce visually stunning movies. The tools these artists have developed to produce movies like The Nightmare Before Christmas directed by Henry Selick and The Boxtrolls directed by Graham Annable and Anthony Stacchi are examples of that. Both movies’ usage of their own materials along with there methods to create artistic masterpieces have inspired young artists and continue to inspire them to this day.

From the beginning of civilization stories have been our main device used to communicate our experience and the world surrounding us. Ranging from an average mundane life filled with love and hatred, to the supernatural and what goes bump in the night, and everything in between, are all exposed in stories throughout history. Within this modern era, films are a contemporary adaptation of stories. Narratives of humanity can be effectively played out on the big screen in vivid detail sucking us in with the combined choice of aesthetic features, clever storyline, and a hint of humour.

Whenever books are adapted for film, changes inevitably have to be made. The medium of film offers several advantages and disadvantages over the book: it is not as adept at exploring the inner workings of people - it cannot explore their minds so easily; however, the added visual and audio capabilities of film open whole new areas of the imagination which, in the hands of a competent writer-director, can more than compensate.

This thesis intends to showcase the process and techniques through which a film is created and the potential to provide theories that can be reincorporated into architectural design.
