classical style in film form

For the cinematography, you have to include the 180 degree rule. this sets an imaginary axis between two viewers or a character and an object. Another is an eyeline match. this indicated to the audience what the character is seeing. The audience believes they're looking at something through the eyes of the character. An example of a shot type in the establishing shot which is used at the start of the film. This is used to see the location.

Invisible editing is arranging shots in a sequence which suggests a progression of events. It gives the impression that the camera is filming the action. Another example of editing is shot/reverse shot where one character is shown looking at another character of screen. The camera then shows the other character looking at the first character. This makes it seem that they are both looking at each other due to them being in the opposite direction. Continuity editing is much preferred in the classical Hollywood period. This was used in Casablanca and makes sure the story looks  smooth.

For mise en scene, which is everything in a scene such as costumes and lighting. The style is very predictive and has a beginning, middle and end which is the three act structure being routine life, problem solving and then problem resolved. The films mood to the audience was added by the mise en scene. 

For sound, synchronised sound has been used. this is the sound being recorded at the time of filming the movies. There are three types of sound, human voices, music and sound effects. These three make the film seem realistic to the viewer. Dialogue must also sync with the action of the film without any delay to create realism.

For performance, there is method acting where the actors focus on an emotional performance and realism. Classical actors focus on action as there needed to be a focus on classical action. They also need imagination to relate to the other actors on screen and find their character.
