Flashback- A flashback in a film gives the audience more information about the character's past. This helps to move the story along and this can change time and space Because this shows the character looking back at what happened in the past and reflecting on their experience an example of a flashback scene in the movie Coco the flashback in the Coco movie zooms into the picture of the little girl on the photo which is black and white. Then the flashback takes place because the little girl is sat on the bed and it is a bright shot of her she looks up at her dad who is singing to her. The dad finishes singing and the camera moves backwards away from the little girl and the shot moves back to the baby and the man who is looking sadly at the picture.
Point of view shots The point of view shots are the same view of what the character sees in front of the camera In the movie Coco the camera shows the shot of the little girl looking at her father into her eyes. This allows the audience to see exactly what the character sees in front of them.
Apparently impossible positions - These are used to give unusual perspectives of the action for example an aerial shot that looks down from a height that is difficult to obtain. An example of this is when Sam Tyler is lead on the floor in front of the car on his side this is an unusual position
Privileged spectator positions- This happens when the camera puts the audience in a position where the viewer sees aspects of the narrative that other characters cannot see. This can be used in murder mystery or detective dramas where the audience often knows more than some of the characters making it clear who the culprit is. The audience can see the murderer coming into the bathroom before the character.
Voiceovers can be used to describe and direct the story in programmes such as "Come Dine Me" but can also be used to inform the audience of missing information that is not shown on screen for example on Love Island the voiceover will recap what happened in the last 24 hrs without the need to show all of the footage on screen, giving the continuing narrative context. An example of this is being human the voiceover gives the audience information that is not given in the visuals it tells us the story of the characters meet and how they became monsters.
Enigma codes Is an editing technique where the camera shows only some of the narrative, leaving the audience with a sense of mystery as to where the narrative will go next. Murder mystery and detective dramas will use enigma codes to slowly reveal the narrative, with key information needed to solve the case saved until near the end of programme this will create a thrilling conclusion.
Action codes are actions in the narrative that tip off the viewer about what to expect as the narrative progresses. It relies on the idea of cause and effect.
use of a jump cut in films
A jump scare is a technique that is typically used for an effect in horror films and can be used to create fear. It breaks the rules of continuity and looks real so the audience doesn't know what is coming. It can be a surprise and we call this a jump scare.
