Genre
What is it?

Genre is a way of classifying the general subject of any publication, from book, to film. For example Horror. However, Genre is an extremley general way to define any product, for example 'Nightmare on Elm Street' and 'Saw' are two very different movies, The first being a super natural film about a man who kills people using their nightmares,

 the second is about two men trapped in a room at the mercy of an unseen  killer called jigsaw who machines to kill people.









Yet both are classified as horror. What is then done is they are put into sub genres, a genre within a genre, which separates the two, Nightmare on Elms street is put into slasher films, due to his tendency to cut people up. Or they will be put into two genres, like Saw, which is put into mystery, due to the interest  around who the killer is, and horror, due to the horrific things people are put through in the movie.

This here is an advert for phillip plein's new fashion range, As you may have noticed, the photographer stands out. He is very colourful, as oposed to those models, which causes great contrast, meaning your maybe ment to just look at him. He's looking at us as if to alienate the audience, to say yes this is an advert and its 

Time for some camera shots

Right first is mise en scene, whats that? it literally means placement on stage, but according to the quote I found on wikipedia

All of the elements placed in front of the camera to be photographed: the settings and props, lighting, costumes and make-up, and figure behavior."

—David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson

anyway, in lay-mans terms, pretty much everything in the shot, so it can be apllied to pretty much any picture, like this 

Note the arrows, the sheilds, the muscly men, and the shouty one with the scar, or if I were to apply this to brighton rock 

The camera, the rides in the back, this image is a good example of mise en scene 

 an establishing shot looks abit like this:

 An establishing shot, shows you the scene, tells you where abouts your story stats, usually an over head, or a shot of a distinctive building from the area, as you can see in this shot, thats brighton pier, a highly reconised site. It even says for those who don't know what brighton pier is, "brighton, england, 1964" 

Long shots (Also called full shots) are quite similar to establishing shots, they fit in an entire human or object and usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings. More comonly called a wide angle shot, due to the name of the lens needed to shoot it, the wide anle lense, an example of their usage would be like so :

And a shot of brighton rock that qualifys as a long shot 

A mid shot is more life like, how you would normally see a person in real life, itts closer than a long shot, but you can still get an idea of the surroundings 

and even closer than that is a close up, where the focus is on the character rather than his surroundings,  

A piont of view shot is the shot taken as if the protagonist is the camera man

Think of clover field as a film long example of a piont of view shot.

For now take this very stylised shot from brighton rock.

A high angle shot is on that is similar to a brids eye view of the scene except tilted down  to see characters faces, such as

Hello World!

Hello World!

They found him in the gutter with a party popper, used, in his mouth, the contents of which were half way down is throat. An ottoman fez clinging for dear life on his head, damp all the way through, as was his seemingly black hair and his clothes. his attire, smart, in the chino's and blazer sence.
When I say they found him, I was talking about the hobo, a man known to everyone in the area, as Nev' the blue bear, who had taken residence in the bin, waiting for the delivery trucks to turn him into mince meat the following morning.
After frisking the Body, they found nothing.
After frisking Nev, they found a wallet, and some key's.
