Literary Design

Literary Design - consists of the story ideas and the script.


The story ideas include the characters and their actions in
the story, the setting of the story, and any background story
or subtext. The script includes the dialog and some broad
actions for the characters. (Some may refer to this element as
narrative design, a broader term for storytelling. As we will
see through closer viewing, however, all the elements of film
form are used for storytelling.)
Visual Design
Visual design - aims to shape and improve the
user experience through considering the
effects of illustrations, photography,
typography, space, layouts, and color on
the usability of products and on
their aesthetic appeal. To help designers
achieve this, visual design considers a
variety of principles, including unity,
Gestalt properties, space, hierarchy, balance,
contrast, scale, dominance, and similarity.
Cinematography
Cinematography - is the art of motion-picture photography and filming
either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by
means of a light-sensitive material such as film stock.
Cinematographers use a lens to focus reflected light from objects
into a real image that is transferred to some image sensor or light-
sensitive material inside a movie camera. These exposures are created
sequentially and preserved for later processing and viewing as
a motion picture. Capturing images with an electronic image sensor
produces an electrical charge for each pixel in the image, which
is electronically processed and stored in a video file for subsequent
processing or display. Images captured with photographic
emulsion result in a series of invisible latent images on the film
stock, which are chemically "developed" into a visible image. The
images on the film stock are projected for viewing the motion
picture.
Editing
• Editing - is the process of selecting and
preparing writing, photography, visual, audib
le, and film media used to convey
information. The editing process can involve
correction, condensation, organization, and
many other modifications performed with an
intention of producing a correct, consistent,
accurate and complete work.
Sound Design
Sound Design - is the art and practice of creating sound tracks
for a variety of needs. It involves specifying, acquiring or
creating auditory elements using audio production techniques and
tools. It is employed in a variety of disciplines
including filmmaking, television production, video game
development, theatre, sound recording and reproduction, live
performance, sound art, post-production, radio and musical
instrument development. Sound design commonly involves
performing (see e.g. foley) and editing of previously composed
or recorded audio, such as sound effects and dialogue for the
purposes of the medium, but it can also involve creating sounds
from scratch through synthesizers. A sound designer is one who
practices sound design.
