Film theory is taking apart a film's elements to analyze it. This goes further than film criticism because there are many aspects that are involved in this process. Film theories may look at a social issue but then they will also use specific film elements (script, directing, editing, sound, lighting, setting, cinematography, costuming, acting and so on) to present their research. They may also include some film history and/or compare films to previous films. Usually this work is lengthy requiring a a longer time to prepare than just a movie review for a website.

I would love to one day be able to understand the different elements of a film, but for now, I am happy to just enjoy and appreciate all the hard work that has been put into a great viewing experience.

Film History explores film cinema from when it began to today. Film History takes note of all the changes that happened in film from something as monumental as adding sound to something as basic as combining animation and live action.

The 2012 movie The Artist was a nice example of how the absence of sound makes the movie rely heavily on the actor's ability to convey emotions visually. This means that skills required from actors have also changed to adapt to technological advancements.

Mise-en-scène is the stage design and arrangement of actors in scenes for a theatre or film production, both in visual arts through storyboarding, visual theme, and cinematography, and in narrative storytelling through direction.

One of the directors I love is Wes Anderson. The way he sets his scene is very distinct to his name. I personally love his use of colors and his attention to detail. The Budapest Hotel is one of my favorites due to it's amazing visuals, and somehow, it always makes me think of cake.

CanCon is a CRTC regulation which require Canadian broadcasters to dedicate a certain percentage of their programming to Canadian material.

The regulation started to take shape in 1971. It has been quite debatable over the years as it started out as a protection for Canadian artists to have their work broadcast or played within the country, but there are issues with it as well; not all Canadian works are profitable so organizations struggle with trying to uphold CanCon while still making money.

A similar regulation is required from Philippine radio networks by the NTC or The National Telecommunications Commission where radio stations are required to play at least 4 locally produced songs per hour.

Cutting the cable tv cord means getting rid of a bundle of cable TV channels you subscribe to from a provider like Bell or Rogers among others.

Less than 50% of households in Canada remains subscribed to pay tv and numbers are expected to continue to fall in 2022.

Streaming means television content, such as TV shows, films, concerts and other programming, as experienced over the internet.

Streaming is one of the main reason why I binge watch. Having access to shows anytime of the day definitely contributed to my lack of sleep and energy. 🥱😴

The film reviewer looks at a film's production values and general enjoyability. These works usually appear in newspapers and other popular media.

I think Rotten Tomatoes may have the monopoly on trusted reviews. I personally can't think of any other name without googling for it. 🤔

Genre means a category of artistic, musical, or literary composition characterized by a particular style, form or content. It applies to film, TV, books and other art forms.

I am currently in love with the periodic drama genre such as Bridgerton, The Great and The Crown. I just can't get enough of their stylish sets and fabulous costumes.
