What makes up a film? What elements can no film be complete without? How does shot length help create tension? And how do directors use simple visual techniques to convey what characters are feeling?
Using examples from The Avengers, Harry Potter, Sherlock, and Stranger Things, we explain the concepts of frame, shot, and angle, and show how filmmakers use them. Our new video essay will help those who want to learn to understand film but don't know where to start or what to pay attention to.
This video about the basics of film language was produced as part of the "Cultural Marathon" project. "Cultural Marathon" offers lesson plans on film, music, architecture, and theater for teachers, students, and parents. The project was launched in early October by Yandex.Textbook, KinoPoisk, and Yandex.Music. When creating the video, we relied on film lesson scripts written for the project by screenwriter and film scholar Vsevolod Korshunov. You can view them here:
