Week 4- Language of the screen

I came into this week's lecture quite excited because i was familiar with the topic as i studied screen analysis last semester. So i was pleased about that and looking forward to it. It was nothing new to me and was fresh in my mind. The screen is a great means for communication as this day in age people love watching movies! There is however more to the big screen then meets the eye. People view a film and only take with them perhaps the storyline but don't realise that there is so much more depth behind every scene. Each scene contains several camera shots/angles which reveal the five W's-Who? What? Where? When? and Why? They reveal certain effects, character expressions, motives, status, relationships and many more. These are all vital for the film's plot development and can reveal important information to the audience.
