Long Take:
Anything significantly longer than the norm (for its time and place)
In some places the norm takes longer e.g. 1940’s anything over 9 seconds was considered a long take
Example ‘Rope’ and ‘9 lives’ compared to ‘Jurassic Park
Deep focus photography:
Three elements focused (background, middleground, foreground)
Audience sees all three planes at the same time
Definition: keeps several planes of shot in focus at the same time
Positives:
- Used in combination with long takes à less editing
- Establishing shot informative
- Many things at the same time
- Dramatically things can be going on at the same time
- Audience feels in the movie
- Little camera movement
- Imprisoned by the scene
- Real time
Negatives:
- Can get lost or confused
- Audience does not know what to look at
- Lack of action
- Feel you have to pause, too much at the same time
- Can make the audience feel less involved
