ABSTRACT

The master scene and interpersonal cinema languages are the two most common ones in use today and have been around since the beginning of filmmaking. Both are natural and easy to conceptualize. The technique was essentially a master cover shot of the action. The master scene cinema language plan starts with a long shot of all the action, including the note on the desk, the phone call, and the entrance of the secretary. Master scene cinema language is the most popular in Hollywood because it uses the team approach to filmmaking, as opposed to the European auteur concept. Master scene cinema language has a calming effect upon the audience. A master of natural camera placement who went for decades without recognition, not only in the Hollywood community but among the critics as well, was Howard Hawks. Romance requires putting aside the tensions of the everyday and being relaxed to enjoy the lovers in the drama.
