Set designing, staging, blocking, and of course acting all play a large part in the production of a Film. But films do not just correlate all these factors into one form, they take them to the next level and add a new spin to each individual art. Framing a shot with a still camera now has to lose its immobility and move with the action in a film. The musical background reflects the emotional state of the characters or action taking place on the screen. Set designing, staging blocking and acting or all done in a real world environment rather than on a stage.
Viewers step into a darkly lit theater almost as if they are stepping into their own subconscious.
They stare in complete darkness at images projected onto a larger than life screen. The audience of a film are taken on a journey where they can lose themselves and their own problems in the characters on screen. The irony of Films is that the line between a dreamy fantasy and life-like reality is very muddled. To fully understand the effects of film one must understand the art, science and media of film. However, unlike a book or a sheet of music, film literacy is achieved without conscious effort if the viewer is exposed to film at an early age.
