Autocracy on FilmGabriel Over the White House (1933, directed by Gregory La Cava)
How Do Filmmakers Create Depictions? FRAMING AND COMPOSITION. The arrangement of people and objects within the frame suggest meaning. CAMERA ANGLES AND DISTANCES. Camera placement determines how the viewer sees the subject. LIGHTING. The light source and its intensity determines how the viewer perceives the subject. MOVEMENT. Movement of both the camera and/or the subject within the frame suggests meaning. ACTION AND REACTION SHOTS. A character s behavior and how other characters react to that behavior suggests meaning. SOUNDTRACK. Dialogue (both what is said and how a line is delivered), sound effects, music, and silence all suggest meaning.
