1) Lighting can help set a scene because it can inform the viewers of the theme and the characters places in the world.  An example of this is in the movie Halloween. This movie has many different lightings which helps create a scary tone.  2) Framing is the way elements and characters are arranged in a frame, framing also takes composition. An example of framing is in the movie titanic. In the scene where jack is holding rose there is a great shot of them viewing the sea, this is an example of framing. 

  Mise en scene is important in film because it covers anything in front of the scene, and how the scene comes together as a whole. This helps the audience to see things like the design, lighting, and actors.    1) Location affects the scene in a film because the location helps the audience understand the characters, their intention, obstacles, and theme. Ex) Hagrid's house in harry potter 2) A scene's color can affect it because color can set its mood or tone. color can also affect the viewer's visual element and help us remember characters.  Ex) The town in Edward Scissorhands 3) Sets can affect the story because it helps the viewer establish where the characters are and their environment. Something as simple as a bench or as complex as a whole school is maiger for the viewers.  Ex) Classroom in harry potter

Synergy is when two compan ie s work together in order to come up with a product that promotes both companies.  One of the main things synergies  are used for is the promotion of a food company or a new movie.  The reason for its use is to create more attraction in the companies in order to promote and improve them.   Examples   One example of synergy is between Lexus the car company and the new movie Black Panther Wakanda Forever. These companies came together and made a n ad of the characters from black panther using Lexus's new electric car, this allows for the promotion of the two companies .   Another example of the use of synergy is between McDonald's and the movie Encanto. When the movie Encanto came out Mcdonald's decided to collab with them to create new happy meal toys. This allowed for promotion for not only the movie Encanto but also for Mcdonald's because kids would want the new  toy s and w ould want to watch the ...

 Media convergence - is the rapid change in today's media. Today's media has evolved to be able to complete multiple functions because of media convergence.  Types of media convergence - There are 5 main types of media convergence they are economic convergence, organic convergence, cultural convergence, global convergence, and technological convergence.  An example of Economic convergence is if a company interests across many different kinds of media.

1)  Diegetic sound - Is the original sound used when filming a scene.  In a movie or film diegetic is sound that a viewer can identify ether by visual or inference.  This type of sound is great when wanting the audience to focus on the dialogue and character development.  Ex) An example of diegetic sound is a  character's voice when speaking, the roar of a speeding car, or the bang of a revolver. A movie that uses diegetic sound is Car's. This movie uses speeding car sound effects in it.    Here is the sound of a car speeding by.  Vehicle Speeding [SOUND EFFECT] - YouTube 2) Non-diegetic - Is sound added during post-production of the movie or fil m.
