They are: Point-of-view focalization neutral focalization authorial focalization POINT-OF-VIEW FOCALIZATION: similar to first person pointof-view in literature, the viewer sees and experiences what a character sees and experiences POV Focalization is usually achieved using the following sequence of shots: Establishing shot – a shot of the character looking at something Eye-line match – a shot of what the character sees from his/her perspective; called a subjective camera Reaction shot – character’s reaction to what he/she just saw Neutral focalization: The camera is always objective, there is no subjective shot nor cuts in editing. Authorial focalization: the author or director provides a shot that gives the viewer information the characters do not know. This is similar to dramatic irony in literature FILM SOUND Diegetic sound – Nondiegetic sound – Sound Editing and Mixing: Labor intensive process of editing and mixing that combines dialogue and sound recorded on location with effects that are added during post-production On-set sound handled by “production sound mixer” Sound effects are created by the “sound designer” “Foley process” sound artists add sound effects that synchronize with on-screen sound (footsteps, doors closing, etc.) Re-Recording Mix – final stage of sound editing where all aural components (dialogue, effects, music) are combined and adjusted to produce a soundtrack
