CHARACTERS
THE PROTAGONIST- This is the main person, and is usually
a male hero fi gure who helps solve the problem, theyre
addressed at the beginning of the movie so everybody
knows who they are. E.g. James Bond Casino Royale.
THE ANTAGONIST This is the villain, also referred to as
the bad guy. Theyre never revealed early on in the plot,
but are revealed late on when mayhem has occurred so
that the audience can fi gure out who has done it. This
person could also have a hidden identity so it will be
someone you dont expect. E.g. Arthur Kingsman: The
secret service.
CINEMATOGRAPHY
Cinematography is the art of photography and
camerawork in fi lm-making.
Close up and extreme close up shots are used when
fi lming the protagonist and antagonist, this is usually
so that the audience is able to see their emotions.
When fi lming the protagonist, longer shots and full
body shots will be used as the audience like them as
they are the good guy. However when fi lming the
antagonist, very short and quick cuts are used to hide
their identity, and when theyre fi lmed its usually
their silhouette or extremely dark so they dont
reveal them self.
MISE EN SCENE
Lighting depending on the location and setting the
lighting may be light or dark, this often fi ts the mood
of the scene.
Costumes each character will have diff erent outfi ts
that bring out their individual personality and
characteristics. E.g. There would not be a dark and
evil villain wearing a pink dress.
Composition Most directors use a few fi lming rules
such as the 180 degree rule and the rule of thirds,
this ensures that they get the most interesting shots
that look best.
