Visual impact on an audience

There are various factors in film and tv which visually impact an audience and need to be considered.

Some of these factors are;

• Location/setting - the location and setting can help visually impact an audience because it can aid their understanding of the characters situations as well as putting together a picture for the audiences mind.
• Dialogue - the dialogue in tv and film is a key factor which can visually impact an audience because it can help build character relationships within the film or television show. This henceforth helps the audience understand the narrative and characters better.
• Sound/music - sound and music can visually impact an audience because it can help portrtay the narrative in a certain way. For example if the director is aiming to make the narrative dark and sinister then the use of non-diegetic eerie music will portray the narrative perfectly in that way.
• Colours - the use of colour in  tv and film can also visually impact an audience because like sound and music it can help to portray the narrative in a certain way. For example bright colours could portray the narrative in an upbeat way.
• Costume - costume can visually impact an audience because it can show what a particular characyer is like and what kind of a role they have in the film or television show. E.g the antagonist or protagonist.  
• Camera movements - another factor which can visually impact an audience in film and tv is the use of camera movements. This is because it can show what the environment is like as well as providing the narrative with a pace and style.
• Shot types - the use of shot types can visually impact an audience because it shows what the director is trying to put across. Shot types can also portray a characters emotions very well.
