IMAGE Image refers to what we see within a given frame, in either a natural or constructed environment. Com- position, light, and color are important aspects of an image that can be deliberately manipulated for specific expressive and communication purposes. Changes in attributes of color such as hue, saturation, brightness, contrast, and type of l...
Sound (dialogue, music, voice-over, and sound efects) has five basic functions: infor- mation, outer orientation (environment), in- ner orientation (mood), energy (emotion), and structure. The formal elements of audio are volume, mix, density, rhythm, tempo, spatial acoustics, and pitch.
Space in an image is structured by aspect ratio (frame dimension), the object and its size, and image size. Space is defined by the direction and movement of the lines in the composition within the frame, object framing, and balance. Height, width, and depth are created through the use of camera position and action. Depth can be manipulated through...
Motion is articulated by action in front of the camera, the camera itself, editing, transitions, lens zoom or focus, and animation. In photography, the illusion of motion is constructed with the shutter speed to blur the image or stop the action.
Sequence is the ordering of images and sounds in the process of scripting, capturing, and editing through conventions of narrative, rhetoric, and association.
Time may be expanded or contracted, slowed down or speeded up. The viewer’s experience of the passage of time is determined through capturing and editing. The pace of the piece may be consistent or varied. In photography, time is controlled with the use of the shutter speed. Rhythm and tempo in sound are manipulated to construct meaning. In inter-a...
