Introduction to Film and Its Significance

  • Film is also known as motion picture, movie, or cinema.
  • It creates the illusion of movement using a series of still images projected rapidly.
  • The effect is due to 'persistence of perception' — our eyes retain images briefly.

Elements of Drama and Film

  • Aristotle identified six elements of drama: plot, character, thought (theme), diction (language), spectacle, and song (music).
  • Modern films add more technical elements: lighting, camera angles, color, lens, and movement.
  • Four key features of film: luminosity, movement, realism, and montage.
