Define Terms For Class

We Were Asked in class to define these terms in our blog:

Shot Composition: The way someone sets up a video or picture before they shoot.

Editing: Changing The order of events in a film to correspond with how the creator likes.

Narration: Someone describing an event in their own words that has happened.

Documentary: A Non-Fiction movie without actors.

Fiction: A story about something that has not actually happened or will never happen.

Non-Fiction: A real story with real events and people.


We were also asked to watch 2 videos from the NY Times website describe how the vocabulary we just defined is used in the video.

This video has shot composition because the person is directly in the center of the shot with enough background to balance out.

Not all shots were taken at once they were taken over time and they order that they were taken was probably changed as well.

Narration was incorporated into the film although it wasn't really a documentary, i guess you could call it a cooking lesson.

This video was not fiction, it was about real cooking which would make it a non-fiction video.

I Will try to incorporate all of these things except fiction because this is an autobiography.
