Theme is the main message of a film and how it shapes creative decisions, from the story and characters to the visuals and sound.

Narrative structure is the way a story is told on screen. It shows what happens, how it happens, and why it happens, helping shape the audience's experience.

Production design is the look and feel of a film. It uses sets, props, costumes, hair, and makeup to show the time, place, and characters in the story.

Colour helps tell a story by creating mood, showing character, and drawing attention to important parts of a scene.

Lighting helps show the audience what is happening. It creates mood, highlights important details, and helps establish the time and place.

Camera techniques are the shot sizes, angles, and movements used to tell a story. They help direct the audience's attention, create emotion, and show important details.

Framing is how a shot is arranged. It helps focus the audience's attention and creates mood through the placement of people, objects, and camera angles.

Sound is what the audience hears in a film. Dialogue, music, and sound effects help tell the story, create mood, and bring scenes to life.

Locations are the places where a film is shot. They are chosen to suit the story and must be safe and approved for filming.

Editing is the process of putting film clips together to create the final story. It helps shape the story, pace, and mood of a film.
