condition and thus communicate with an audience.

b. Psychological Time- our emotional impression of the duration of the action that we
experience as we watch a film.
c. Dramatic Time- refers to the time taken up by the events which are depicted in the film.
2. Space- created as an illusion on a flat screen, the three-dimensionality and “realness” of the
objects in cinema is achieved through the use of the following:
a. Scale- refers to the size of the objects on the screen and their relation to the surrounding
area.
b. Lighting- another means used to give the illusion of depth in the film. By the position of
lights, a filmmaker can create areas of light and dark, and increase or decrease depth.
c. Shooting Angle-the camera may record scenes from different angles. Angles are varied to
allow the director to show his concepts of the object or the character in the film.
d. Central Techniques of the Cinema- the director chooses from a series of point of view and
arranges his shots so they are coherent and unified.
3. Cutting (Montage or Editing)- this enables a filmmaker to make one scene succeed another
without interruption although they may be oceans apart or make us see scene in the past
replaces one in the present.
- Cutting consists of joining one shot of a scene to shot of another, both having a logical
connection.
- Montage enables the director to show only the scenes the story requires furthering its action
and providing variety.

experience the gradual growth of ideas and emotions.
