In this activity, you will review the terms and concepts described in your workbook and respond to the reading questions. 

In film, the word composition refers to the elemental makeup of each frame. It can be used as an umbrella term for many components that we will be reviewing in your workbook. Similarly, the word aesthetic is an umbrella term that can generally refer to the way something looks and/or what underlying principles were applied to execute a particular look.

Every frame of a film has a composition — that is, it has subjects, objects, a foreground, and a background that are presented in a particular way. Every frame also has aesthetic qualities that are used to create the overall aesthetic for the entire film. All of these qualities exist within a shot — that is, they are captured by a filmmaker at a particular point and from a particular angle. We will dive into all of this and more in the assigned workbook pages.

By the end of this assignment, you will be able to identify and understand foundational concepts of the filmmaking practice.

Review pages 2-23.
