But of course movies exist in time and have many Other ways of communicating information. Photography and mise en scene aremerely two language systems of many.
A filmmaker has literally hundreds of different ways to convey meanings. Like the painter or still Hot grapher, the movie dirrector can emphasize visual dominants. In a scene portraying violence, for example, he or she can use diagonal and zigzagging lines,aggressive colors, close-ups, extreme angles, harsh lighting contrasts, unbalanced compositions, large shapes, and so on. Unlike most other visual artists, the maker can also suggest violence through movement, either of the subject itself, the camera, or both. The film artist can suggest violence through editing, by having one shot collide with anothers- in a kaleidoscopic explosion of different perspectives. Furthermore, through the use of the soundtrack, violence can be conveyed by loud or rapid dialogue, harsh sound effects,or strident music. Precisely because there are so many ways to convey a given effect, the filmmaker will vary the emphasis, sometimes stressing image, sometimes movement,other times sound. Occasionally, especially in climactic scenes, all three are used at the same time.

The film director, in other words, is not confined to a spatial area that's permanent throughout the scene. A master of mise en scene can express shifting psychological and social nuances with a single shot-by exploiting the space berween characters, the depth planes within the images, the intrinsically weighted areas of the frame, and the direction the characters are facing vis-a-vis the camera.引自 Territorial Space 区域空间 67

Some of the most suggestive critical studies have explored the relationship of a genre to the society that nurtured it. This sociophychic approach was pioneered by the Frech literary critic Hippolyte Taine in the ninetheenth century. Taine claimed that the social and intellctual anxieties of a given era and nation wil find expression in its art. This implicit function of an artist is to harmonize and reconcile cultural clashes of value. He believed that art must be analyzed for both its overt and covert meaning, that beneath its explicit content there exsits a vast reservoir of latent social and psychic information.
The approach tends to work best with popular genres, which reflect the shared values and fears of a large audience. Such genres might be regarded as contemporary myths, lending philosophical meaning to the facts of everyday life. As social conditions change, genres often change with them, chanllenging some traditional customs and beliefs, reaffirming others.Gangster films, for example, are often covert critiques of American capitalism. They are often vehicles for exploring rebellion myths and are especially popular during periods of social breakdown. The protagonists - usually played by small man - are likened to ruthless businessmen, their climb to power a sardonic parody of the Horatio Alger myth.

开篇先介绍了realism（现实主义）&formalism（形式主义）的区分
Realism films attempt to reproduce the surface of reality with a minimum of distortion.
Formalist movies are stylistically flamboyant. The directors are concerned with expressing their subjective experience of reality, not how other people might see it.
Realists, in short, try to preserve the illusion that their world is unmanipulated, an objective mirror of the actual world. Formalists, on the other hand, make no such pretense. They deliberately stylize and distort their raw materials so that no one would mistake a manipulated image of an object or event for the real thing.引自 一
电影style分成了三类：realism classicism formalism 对应的种类是documentary fiction avant-garde
不同style对form和content的看法 story-oriented or form supreme?
但是it's quite possible to present fantasy materials in a realistic style. It's equally possible to present reality-based materials in an expressionistic style.
The shots 镜头
基本六类：the extreme long shot/ the long shot(有一类变形the deep-focus shot)/ the full shot/ the medium shot/ the close-up/ the extreme close-up
the extreme long shot -- taken from a great distance(maybe 1/4 mile away), always an exterior shot and shows much of the locale, often found in epic films
the long shot -- correspond approximately to the distance between the audience and the stage in the live theater 这个种类里最近的是the full shot, includes the human body in full
the medium shot -- contains a figure from the knees or waist up, useful for shooting exposition scenes, for carrying movement and for dialogue (the two shot contains two figures, the three shot contains three figures) 有一种the over-the-shoulder shot, contains two figures, one with part of his/her back to the camera, the other facing the camera
the close-up -- concentrates on a relatively small object, ex.the human face, tends to elevate the importance of things, often suggesting a symbolic significance.
the extreme close-up -- a long shot consisting of a number of focal distances and photographed in depth. This type of shot captures objects at close, medium, and long ranges simultaneously, all of them in sharp focus.
the angles 角度
一般film realists的scenes are photographed from eye level (5-6 ft off the ground)
基本五种：the bird's-eye view/ the high angle/ the eye-level angle/ the low angle/ the oblique angle
the bird's-eye level -- 90度朝下 this permits us to hover above a scene like all-powerful gods.
the high angle -- camera placed on a crane or some natural high promontory. This angle tends to be ineffective for conveying a sense of speed, useful for suggesting tediousness. The importance of setting or environment is increased.
the eye-level angle -- 基本见于小津电影，4 ft from the floor
the low angle -- environment usually minimized, often used in propaganda films or films depicting heroism
the oblique angle -- horizon skewed, characters are at an oblique angle, often suggests tension, transition, and impending movement
Light and dark 光影
三个种类：high key/ high contrast/ low key
high key -- 一般用于comedies&musicals, bright, even illumination and no conspicuous shadows.
high contrast -- 一般用于tragedies&melodramas, hash shafts of light and dramatic streaks of blackness
low key -- 一般用于mysteries, thrillers and gangster films, diffused shadows and atmospheric pools of light
three-point lighting -- key light, fill light, backlight. Key light是dominant, 在focal point of action. Fill light softens the harshness of main light source, 也帮助呈现一些被阴影挡住的辅助细节. Backlights 区分前景人物和背景，加深图像立体效果
还有一种overexpose，used in nightmare and fantasy sequences.
color彩色
line is more like a nouns, color is like adjective. line more masculine, color more feminine
冷色调cool color：tranquility, aloofness, serenity
暖色调warm color：aggressiveness, violence, stimulation
Lenses, Filters, and Stocks镜片、滤镜和底片
3种滤镜：standard(nondistorted)range/ the telephoto lenses, and the wide angles.
telephoto: get close-ups of objects from extreme distances. 可用于从远处拍特写 摄影师可hide in public in cars to shoot people on the street 但它聚焦物体后镜头里其它物体都会blur, go out of focus
一种特殊技术：rack focusing or selective focusing 聚焦点从一个物体换到另一个物体
wide-angle lenses(short lenses): in deep-focus shots, preserve sharpness of focus on virtually all distance planes. 最极限例子: fish-eye lens
2种底片：fast stock/slow stock
fast stock: highly sensitive to light, sometimes can register images with no illumination
slow stock: insensitive to light, capture color precisely
Special Effect
CGI: computer-generated imagery 特殊动作场面 大规模背景等
最后语重心长地教导：cinematography is very important, but it usually can't make or break a movie -- only make it better or worse.
