Movies have existed since 1895, the first time we were exposed to moving pictures, and a new genre of entertainment. But what are the elements when it comes to making one? This is a short and brief dictionary explaining the elements of a movie.
Body Language - the conscious and unconscious movements and postures by which attitudes and feelings are communicated
Costumes - a set of clothes in a style typical of a particular country or historical period.
Hairstyles - a particular way in which a person's hair is cut or arranged.
Make-Up - cosmetics such as lipstick or powder applied to the face, used to enhance or alter the appearance.
Music - vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion.
Silence - complete absence of sound.
Symbols - a mark or character used as a conventional representation of an object, function, or process, e.g. the letter or letters standing for a chemical element or a character in musical notation.
Colour - used to set the tone of a scene
Lighting - it creates the visual mood of a scene; it tells the audience where to look
Props - items on a stage that are movable or stationary or in the background to set the scene
Settings - when and where the story takes place
Dialogue - the speech of the characters in a story
Sound Effects - to help create a mood, to stimulate reality; to add or create something off a scene that isn’t there
Special FX - used to create fictional characters and scenes, sometimes with the use of mechanics
This is just a brief post with certain words. Thank you and goodbye!
