firms Don’t Look Up (2021)
Description（200 words）- In roughly a paragraph include a more detailed description of your particular cinematic experience watching the film. This may include your personal impression of what the film looks, feels, and sounds like. In other words, what stands out in your mind when you think about this particular film?
Analysis（500 words）- How does the thematic content (such as history, race, beauty, gender, sexuality, class, or the ability) affect your experience and interpretation? Does the organization of the film enhances or disrupt the narrative and plot? Is it important for understanding inequality? How does the film comment on, reinforce, or even critique social and political issues at the time it was released, including questions of inequality and the media?
Consider these conditions
– The purpose of film analysis: to explore how formal features such as scene scheduling, cinematography, editing, and sound affect the meaning of a film.
– Creative decisions made by filmmakers: to understand the reasons why filmmakers make films in a certain way and the intended effect on the audience.
– Analyzing formal features: asking specific questions about how elements such as music, shot composition, camera movement, and editing techniques affect the meaning of a film.
eg: explain how movies communicate meaning through form: does the use of music or noise change our attitudes to characters?
Bordwell, Thompson and Smith provide examples of issues; does the composition of the shot tend to focus us on a particular detail (4.153, the shot of Annie’s face in Day of Wrath)?
Does it create suspense by using camera movement to obscure story information, as in the beginning of Touch of Evil (pp. 213-215)?
Does the use of discontinuous editing prompt us to make thematic comparisons, as we did with the sequence we analyzed in October (pp. 259-262)?
– Persuasive writing methods: the analysis should present an argument and support it with evidence from the movie, possibly including external contextual sources.
– Avoiding Film Criticism: Focus on analyzing the structure of the film rather than stating a personal opinion or summarizing the plot.
– Narrative analysis: examine the narrative structure, point of view, and storytelling methods of the film to ensure that the analysis is specific to the medium.
How is the sequence of events in the movie? Is it linear or non-linear? From whose point of view does the movie tell the story? Is the narrative restricted or unrestricted, subjective or objective? What effect is achieved? If the film lacks a traditional narrative altogether, does it employ another organizing principle or mode?
– Themes: Identify and analyze the film’s themes and consider how the filmmaker deals with them and how form and style reinforce them.
– Genre, History, and Filmmaker: Understand the genre of the film, its place in film history, and the distinctive style of the filmmaker or director.
Ideological positions: analyze explicit and implicit values and beliefs in film, considering how they reflect the time and place in which the film was created, as well as representations of race, gender, and class. Does the film exhibit any unrecognized biases or prejudices?
