ollage film is traditionally defined as, “A film that juxtaposes fictional scenes with footage taken from disparate sources, such as newsreels.” Combining different types of footage can have various implications depending on the director’s approach. Collage film can also refer to the physical collaging of materials onto filmstrips.
The use of CGI, or computer-generated imagery, can be considered a form of collage, especially when animated graphics are layered over traditional film footage.
Psychology of the Camera are the visual meanings of shots and angles. In other words, where you put the camera can either enhance or detract the audiences
understanding of what the scene is really about, and what the characters are feeling. There are three angles of view for the camera:
a. Objective: The audience point of view. (The camera is
placed outside the action.)
b. Subjective: The camera acts as the viewers eyes. (The
camera is placed inside the action.)
c. Point of View: What the character is seeing. (The camera is
the action.)
