film language combines visual and auditory tools like camera angles, lighting, sound, and editing to convey emotion and meaning. Film form structures and organizes narratives, using motifs and symbols to enhance storytelling. Film theory explores filmmaking philosophies, with concepts like Auteur Theory (director's personal style), Formalism (emphasis on style), Realism (representation of reality), and Cultural Criticism (societal analysis of films).
