Class Ontwikkeling & esthetiek van de film
H2: crashcourse filmtaal en -analyse
The frame size established by the Academy
of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to
standardize the sound film in 1932. It
Academy ratio
indicates an aspect ratio of 4:3 or 1.33:1 (the
actual projector aperture plate aspect ratio
was 1.37:1)
cf. model Vandenbunder onder ante-
filmische (AF) mise-en-scène
A-filmisch (aF) = alles wat na de opname wordt toegevoegd
of bewerkt (creatieve ingrepen in montage
en post-productie)
cf. model Vandenbunder onder schriftuur 1
Ante-filmisch (AF, mise-en-scène)
(opname, mise-en-cadre)
exposition (proloog) → hamartia (pp1) →
Aristoteles: narratief model
crisis → climax (peripetie, pp2) → resolutie
Average shot length (ASL) = x shots in x min (cf. cinemetrics)
The ratio of the width to the height of the
cinematic image, or frame. The Academy
aperture standard through 1952 was 1.33:1;
contemporary widescreen ratios vary, but
Aspect ratio
the most common are 1.66:1 (Europe) and
1.85:1 (United States). Anamorphic
processes such as CinemaScope can range
from 2.00:1 to 2.55:1.

Cinemetrics
= montageritme, tempo & stijl
• Chronologie
→ cause-effect chain
• Logica in handelingen, personages, ruimte
& tijd
• Diëgese = de denkbeeldige
(chrono)logische wereld zoals gecreëerd in
de film
Classical narrative style

ruimte, tijd, handelingen
• Illusie van realiteit onderlijnen
• ‘Onzichtbare’ montage

OEF: concepten & richtvragen 3
, The final editing structure of a completed
film. Also refers to arranging events by
editing as if they had occurred continuously
Continuity editing when in fact they were shot out of
sequence. Editing shots together
imperceptibly so that the action of a
sequence appears to be continuous.
Moving from one image or shot to another
Cut
by editing.
A technique that exploits depth of field to
render subjects both near and far from the
camera lens with equal clarity, and permits
the composition of the image in depth.
Deep focus
Orson Welles’s Citizen Kane (1941) is one of
the earliest and most famous films to use
deep-focus shots as a basic structural
element.
= de denkbeeldige (chrono)logische wereld

Diëgese
→ met logische geconstrueerde personages,
ruimte, tijd, handelingen
Frequently called lap dissolve. A transitional
or expressive device that superimposes a
Dissolve
fade-out over a fade-in, so that one image
seems to overlap with another.

Emulsie cf. parameter cinematografie
= a thin, light-sensitive coating of chemicals
covering the base of the film stock.
