Here are some of the criteria we must know to be able to mark a given extract properly;

Mise-en-scene
Mise en scene encompasses the most recognizable attributes of a film – the setting and the actors; it includes costumes and make-up, props, and all the other natural and artificial details that characterize the spaces filmed.  The term is borrowed from a French theatrical expression, meaning roughly “put into the scene”.  In other words, mise-en-scène describes the stuff in the frame and the way it is shown and arranged.  We have organized this page according to four general areas: setting, lighting, costume and staging.  At the end we have also included some special effects that are closely related to mise-en-scene.




Editing 
is the process of manipulating and rearranging video shots to create a new work. Editing is usually considered to be one part of the post production process — other post-production tasks include titling, colour correction, sound mixing, etc.
Many people use the term editing to describe all their post-production work, especially in non-professional situations. Whether or not you choose to be picky about terminology is up to you. In this tutorial we are reasonably liberal with our terminology and we use the word editing to mean any of the following:
  • Rearranging, adding and/or removing sections of video clips and/or audio clips.
  • Applying colour correction, filters and other enhancements.
  • Creating transitions between clips.
Sound

Sound is used to set the scene in an extract. these come to two sub categories called diegetic and non diegetic. Diegetic is what the character can hear, for example a voice of another character during a conversations. Whilst non-diegetic is any sound that the characters in the film cant hear such as music. 

Camerawork

The process by which cameras are used to film the certain parts of a production. For example these could be know as a panning shot, shot reverse shot, match on action. etc.
