1. Semiotics: Signifier & Signified | 符号学：能指与所指
Sign = Signifier (physical form) + Signified (mental concept)
A sign consists of two inseparable parts: the signifier is the material form we perceive (a word, image, sound), and the signified is the idea or concept it triggers in our mind. In a perfume advert, a red rose (signifier) may signify romance (signified).
符号由两个不可分割的部分组成：能指是我们感知到的物质形式（词语、图像、声音），所指是它在脑海中引发的想法或概念。在一则香水广告中，红玫瑰（能指）可能意指浪漫（所指）。
Denotation (explicit, literal) vs Connotation (implicit, cultural)
Denotation is the direct, dictionary meaning of a sign. Connotation is the set of cultural and emotional associations it carries. A skull denotes a human head bone; it connotes danger, mortality, or pirate life depending on context.
外延是符号直接的字面意义。内涵则是符号所承载的一系列文化与情感联想。骷髅外延指人类头骨；它根据语境内涵着危险、死亡或海盗生活。
Myth (Barthes) = Second-order signification (connotation becomes naturalised denotation)
Roland Barthes describes myth as a chain of signification where a sign's connotations are so widely accepted that they appear natural and universal. A national flag waving in slow motion often turns patriotism into an unquestioned 'truth'.
罗兰·巴特将神话描述为一种意指链，其中符号的内涵被普遍接受，以至于看起来自然且普遍。慢镜头中飘扬的国旗常将爱国主义转化为不容置疑的‘真理’。
2. Camera Shots: Framing and Field Size | 镜头景别：取景与视野
Framing = f(Distance, Lens) → ECU < CU < MS < LS < ELS
Shot size directly affects how much context and emotional intimacy a frame contains. The reverse relationship: as the shot widens, intimacy decreases and contextual information increases.
景别大小直接影响画面包含的语境和情感亲密度。反向关系：随着景别变宽，亲密度降低，环境信息增加。
Extreme Close-Up (ECU): Focuses on a tiny detail, such as an eye or a gun trigger, conveying intense emotion or dramatic significance.
大特写 (ECU)：聚焦于极小的细节，如一只眼睛或扳机，传达强烈情感或戏剧重要性。
Close-Up (CU): Shows a person's face or a specific object, making the audience intimately aware of reactions and inner feelings.
特写 (CU)：展示人物脸部或特定物体，使观众密切觉察反应和内心感受。
Medium Shot (MS): Frames from the waist up, balancing a character's body language with some background context.
中景 (MS)：从腰部以上取景，平衡角色的肢体语言与一定背景环境。
Long Shot (LS): Displays the full subject in its surroundings, establishing location and the character's relationship to the environment.
远景 (LS)：展现主体在环境中的全貌，奠定地点以及角色与环境的关系。
Extreme Long Shot (ELS): The subject appears tiny within a vast landscape, emphasising scale, solitude, or epic scope.
大远景 (ELS)：主体在广阔景观中显得微小，强调规模感、孤独或史诗般的气魄。
3. Camera Angles: Power Dynamics and Meaning | 镜头角度：权力动态与含义
High Angle → Subjects appear vulnerable, weak, or inferior
The camera looks down on the subject, diminishing its stature. Often used to show a character being overpowered or trapped.
摄影机从高处俯视主体，削弱其形象。常用于展现角色被压制或陷入困境。
Low Angle → Subjects appear powerful, dominant, or threatening
The camera looks up at the subject, making it loom large and imposing. Buildings and authority figures are frequently shot this way.
摄影机仰视主体，使其显得高大威严。建筑与权威人物常采用此角度拍摄。
Eye Level: A neutral angle that positions the audience on equal terms with the subject, encouraging identification or realism.
平视角度：一种中性角度，将观众与主体置于平等地位，促进认同感或真实感。
Dutch Angle/Tilt: The camera is tilted to create a disorienting, uneasy effect, often signalling chaos or psychological instability.
荷兰角/倾斜镜头：摄影机倾斜以制造令人不安、迷失方向的效果，常暗示混乱或心理失衡。
4. Mise-en-Scène: The CLAMPS Framework | 场面调度：CLAMPS框架
Mise-en-Scène = CLAMPS (Costume, Lighting, Acting, Makeup, Props, Setting)
Mise-en-scène refers to everything placed before the camera and its arrangement. The CLAMPS mnemonic helps you remember all six controllable elements.
场面调度指摄影机前的一切布置。CLAMPS记忆法帮助你记住所有六个可控元素。
Costume: Clothing and accessories signal time period, social status, personality, and group identity. A lab coat suggests scientific authority.
服装：服饰和配饰暗示时代、社会地位、性格与群体身份。白大褂暗示科学权威。
Lighting: High-key lighting creates a bright, shadow-free look (used in comedies); low-key lighting with strong chiaroscuro produces suspense (film noir).
灯光：高调照明营造明亮无阴影的视觉效果（用于喜剧）；明暗对比强烈的低调照明制造悬疑感（黑色电影）。
Acting/Actors: Facial expressions, gestures, and body language convey emotion and character motivation, shaping audience sympathy.
表演/演员：面部表情、手势和肢体语言传达情绪与角色动机，塑造观众的同情感。
Makeup: Enhances, transforms, or conceals; special-effects makeup can create wounds, creatures, or ageing.
化妆：美化、变形或遮盖；特效化妆可制作伤口、怪物或老化效果。
Props: Objects handled by actors (a detective's magnifying glass) anchor the scene in a particular genre or reveal character traits.
道具：演员手中物品（如侦探的放大镜）将场景固定在特定类型中或揭示性格特征。
Setting: The physical location or built environment produces a sense of place, mood, and cultural context.
场景：实景或搭景产生的场所感、氛围及文化语境。
5. Editing: Pace, Continuity, and Transitions | 剪辑：节奏、连续性与转场
Pace ∝ Number of Cuts / Shot Duration; Continuity = Invisible Storytelling
Rapid cutting accelerates pace and raises tension (action sequences), while long takes slow pace and encourage contemplation. Continuity editing uses rules such as the 180° rule, shot/reverse shot, and match on action to keep screen direction and space coherent.
快速剪辑加快节奏并增强紧张感（动作场景），而长镜头放慢节奏，促人沉思。连续性剪辑运用180°规则、正反打和动作衔接等规则保持画面方向与空间连贯。
Cut: The instantaneous change from one shot to another; the most common transition.
切：从一个镜头瞬时切换到另一个镜头；最常见的转场。
Fade: A gradual transition to or from a black (or white) screen, often signalling the end of a sequence or passing of time.
淡入/淡出：画面逐渐变为黑屏（或白屏）或从黑屏显出，常表示段落结束或时间流逝。
Dissolve: One shot gradually fades into the next, overlapping the two images to suggest a connection or time shift.
叠化：一个镜头逐渐融入下一个，两幅画面重叠以暗示关联或时间推移。
Montage: A series of shots edited together to compress time, information, or create symbolic meaning (e.g. training sequence).
蒙太奇：一系列镜头剪辑在一起以压缩时间、整合信息或创造象征意义（如训练段落）。
6. Sound: Diegetic and Non-Diegetic Layers | 声音：剧情声与非剧情声
Soundscape = Diegetic (in the story world) + Non-Diegetic (outside the story world)
Diegetic sound exists within the film's reality: characters can hear it (dialogue, slamming doors, radio). Non-diegetic sound is added for the audience's experience (background score, voiceover narration).
剧情声存在于电影世界中：角色可以听到（对话、关门声、收音机）。非剧情声为观众体验而添加（背景配乐、画外音叙述）。
Sound Bridge: A sound from the next scene begins before the visual transition, or vice versa, smoothing narrative flow.
声音桥接：下一场景的声音在画面切换前开始，或反之，使叙事流畅。
Ambient Sound: Background noises (wind, traffic, crowd chatter) that create a sense of realistic place.
环境音：背景噪声（风声、交通、人群嘈杂声），营造真实场所感。
Synchronous Sound: Sound matched to what is seen on screen (footsteps matching feet).
同期声：与画面同步的声音（脚步声匹配行走）。
Asynchronous Sound: Sound that is not synchronised with the visual image, creating tension or disorientation.
非同期声：声音与画面不同步，制造紧张或困惑感。
Pleonastic Sound: Exaggerated sound, such as hammering heartbeats or a 'whoosh' effect, to heighten emotional impact.
夸张音效：被放大的声音，如心跳捶打或呼啸声，以增强情感冲击。
7. Narrative: Todorov's Equilibrium Model | 叙事：托多罗夫平衡模型
Narrative = Equilibrium → Disruption → Recognition → Repair Attempt → New Equilibrium
Tzvetan Todorov argued that all stories begin with a state of balance (equilibrium), which is then broken by an event (disruption). The disruption is acknowledged, characters try to restore order, and a new, often transformed, equilibrium is established.
茨维坦·托多罗夫认为，所有故事始于平衡状态（均衡），随后被事件打破（失衡）。失衡被察觉，角色试图恢复秩序，最终建立起新的、常被改变的平衡。
Stage 1: Equilibrium — a stable, happy, or ordinary situation (a family at breakfast).
阶段一：均衡——稳定、快乐或平常的情境（一家人在吃早餐）。
Stage 2: Disruption — an outside force or event disturbs the peace (an alien invasion alert).
阶段二：失衡——外部力量或事件打破平静（外星人入侵警报）。
Stage 3: Recognition — characters realise the problem and its scope (the hero understands the threat).
阶段三：认知——角色意识到问题及其严重性（英雄明白威胁）。
Stage 4: Repair — the quest or struggle to overcome the disruption (battle against the aliens).
阶段四：修复——为克服失衡而进行的探索或斗争（与外星人战斗）。
Stage 5: New Equilibrium — order is restored, but the world is changed; characters have grown (peace, but with a memorial).
阶段五：新的均衡——秩序恢复，但世界已改变；角色成长（和平，但立有纪念碑）。
8. Narrative: Propp's Character Functions | 叙事：普罗普角色功能
Propp's 7 Spheres of Action: Hero, Villain, Princess, Donor, Helper, Dispatcher, False Hero
Vladimir Propp analysed fairy tales and identified seven recurring character types, or 'spheres of action', each with a specific narrative function. A single character can perform more than one function.
