5C's

In film there are 5 main things to look for begining with C, these are;
Camera Angles - these include long shot, close up, over the shoulder, and extreme close up.
this is an example of a long shot, it shows allot of something but no detail in it.

this is an example of a close up you can see allot of detail but not much of the surrounding.

this is an example of a over the shoulder shot, you see the scene from the point of view of a character

this is an example of an extreme close up, hear you see that there is allot of detail and you see nothing of the surrounding area.

Continuity - Generally refers to visual errors. In very basic terms it means having a character in a red top one second then in a blue top the next.

Cutting - also known as editing, this is essential otherwise the film would never end. It also allows the director to use multiple locations. Its main use is to change the pace of a film weather to speed it up or slow it down.

Close-ups

Composition - this is what is in the scene from the character right down to a plant plot even though you don't think that it means much everything has been put there for a reason, it is also called mise-en-scene
