The 5 C's

5 C's


  • Camera Angles

  • Continuity

  • Cutting(aka editing)

  • Close-ups

  • Composition



When telling the audience where a film is set, use a long shot. This lets you show all the important information.





A medium shot is the most commonly used shot in cinema, it is used to show any character interaction.






A close-up is used when something or someone is highlighted to show the audience that they are inportant.


Continuity
Genrally refers to a visual error. In very basic terms, it means having a character in a red top one second and a blue top the next.


Cutting/Editing
This is essential otherwise films would be in real time and never end. The main use is to either add pace to a scene to make it exciting or to slow it down fdor dramatic emphasis.

  • Sexuality

  • Class and status

  • Phisical ability/disability
