What is media language?:
The five C's:
- Camera angle
- Continuity
- Cutting (aka editing)
- Close ups
- Composition
Camera angle
When telling the audience where the film is set use a long shot. This lets you show the important information
A medium shot is the most commonly used shot in cinema. It is used to show any character interaction.
if there is something/someone important to show to the audience then a close up is used.
Continuity
This generally refers to visual errors. In very basic terms it means having a character in a red top then in the next shot a blue.
Cutting/Editing
This is essential otherwise films would be in real time and would never end.
It allows the director to change locations and is mainly used to add pace to a scene to make it exciting or to slow it down for dramatic emphasis.
