Tone - English Film Study

Tone 
What is the tone in a film?
Tone simply means the brightness. The tone determines how the audience should be feeling and the vibe that is given off.


What are the 3 elements of tone?


Tone can be categorised into three:
- Lighting 
- Exposure
- Art Direction


How and why does Coppola use tone in the classic film of " The Godfather" 

He uses it to express the feelings and vibes that should be given off. For example, the wedding happening outside has a lighter tone and people are dressed in lighter colours. In stark contrast, the conversation happening inside involves darker lighting and darker art direction. This is done to express the emotions the audience should be feeling. During the wedding, everyone is happy and joyful whereas during the conversation inside the characters give off a sombre vibe.


How can directors control the feelings of the scenes?
