Cinematography page 104 An ongoing event can trigger a chain of tracebacks to illustrate the cause of the current event. Space is also the basis for providing patterns. Usually occurs in a single scene. The plot can combine all of the above patterns. Any film about a journey includes the time and location of the journey. (Space) The film uses a time-space pattern to compose its comedy plot for a week-long summer vacation location near the beach Film Art p. 293 The most obvious spatial incoherence stems from violating or ignoring the rule of the 180° line. The semicircle on one side of the axis is used as the scope of the mirror position, and the event is regarded as the center of the circle. The camera can take shots arbitrarily in the surrounding area. Jacques systematically shoots every point. After editing, we can observe the same thing from several angles.

Cinematography p. 312 The foreground passengers are all talking in low voices while Mr. Hulo is playing ping pong louder in the background, so we follow the sound cues to notice Mr. Hulo's movements

Film Art p. 321 Playing with fidelity often makes for comedy Most of the comedy in this film comes from the dining room door opening and closing Tati didn't record the actual door sound but instead inserted the sound of the cello strings whenever the door moved

Cinematic Art 322 In-plot sound is often imperceptible as it can be seen as naturally emanating from the world of the film as in our example in this film the game sound of ping pong will abruptly stop here in order for us to hear the movement in the foreground The director did not deal with the sound of the plot according to the real situation
