If we are talking about the eight technical elements that are involved in the production of films, these are the 8 elements:
1. The film type – can be any of these three categories: realism, classical and formalism
2. The shots – can be a close-up, full shot or over the shoulder
3. Angles – can be eye level, high angle, low angle or oblique angle
4. Colour – can be either saturated or desaturated
5. Lighting – can be silhouette/black lighting, low key lighting, high key lighting or chiaroscuro lighting
6. Sound – can be diegetic and non-diegetic
7. Editing – can be thematic, associative, dialectic, classical, continuity or radical subjective continuity
8. Mise-en-Scene – meaning the setting of a scene.
There are many more details to explain around each of these 8 elements but I hope it helps!
