Mise- en- shot

Mise en shot

Camera movement

Shot scale

Camera position

Length of take- during a shot

Pace editing

Long take

A continues shot, only one camera

Anything significantly longer than the norm (for its time and place)

Deep focus photography (often long take is combined with this)

Is when you have the background, the middle ground and the front all focused.

Keeps several planes of shot in focus at the same time.

Why is it used?

Simultaneous actions going on

Used in combination with long take, to decrease the editing.

Positives	Negatives
Less editing Gets more scenes at the same time Backgrounds can help us recognise were we are Doesn’t distract as almost no need of camera movement Looks as if it is real, it is really happening in front us in real time- verisimilitude Theatrical effect  No sense of escape	Lack of action Slow shots that could be boring Too much of the sense of no escape Can make the audience not feel involved
