50total point possible
In
the first paragraph identify the film selected and an introduction to
what will be discussed in the rest of the paper. Assume that the reader
has not seen the film and this is their first introduction to it. What
could you say about it in one or two brief sentences that would give
some basic understanding of it?
Begin
the second paragraph with a general discussion of the mise en scene as
it applies to the entire film. This is an introduction to the
applications. No terminology other than mise en scene needs to be
applied at this point. But, it needs to be applied to this specific
film. How does it enhance this particular film? Choose three scenes from
the film (ones that are not used in the rest of the paper) that are
both significant to the film and feature an aspect of the mise en scene
(sets/locations, costumes, properties, make-up, lighting) that clearly
reinforces that scene and its importance. Each term should be applied
within a different scene. Choose scenes that have importance within
the film, as it will make applying the term and discussing the
effectiveness of that application easier and more meaningful.
Begin
the third paragraph with a general discussion of the cinematography as
it applies to the entire film. This is an introduction to the
applications. No terminology other than cinematography needs to be
applied at this point. But, it needs to be applied to this specific
film. How does it enhance this particular film? Choose four different
scenes from the film (ones that are not used in the rest of the paper)
that are both significant to the film and feature an aspect of the
cinematography (close-up, medium shot, long shot, establishing shot,
follow shot, high angle shot, low angle shot, subjective point of view,
objective point of view, etcetera) that clearly reinforces that scene
and its importance. Each term should be applied within a different
scene. Choose scenes that have importance within
the film, as it will make applying the term and discussing the
effectiveness of that application easier and more meaningful.
Begin
the fourth paragraph with a general discussion of the editing as it
applies to the entire film. This is an introduction to the applications.
No terminology other than editing needs to be applied at this point.
But, it needs to be applied to this specific film. How does it enhance
this particular film? Choose three different scenes from the film (ones
that are not used in the rest of the paper) that are both significant to
the film and feature an aspect of editing (transitions such as direct
cuts, wipes, fades, and dissolves, as well as lengths of cuts,
cross-cutting, montages, etc.) that clearly reinforces that scene and
its importance. Each term should be applied within a different scene.
Choose scenes that have importance within
the film, as it will make applying the term and discussing the
effectiveness of that application easier and more meaningful.
Begin
the fifth paragraph with a general discussion of continuity as it
applies to the entire film. Use the term continuity in this
introduction. In order for continuity to be established repetition needs
to be identified. Two examples of continuity are required. For each
example identify at least two scenes (ones that are not used in the rest
of the paper) that create the repetition of that idea. The examples can
be from the mise en scene, cinematography, editing, music, or even the
plot. However, terminology must be utilized when making the applications. Remember that you will need two scenes for each example – four scenes in all.
In
the final paragraph provide a brief conclusion. This should be a brief
conclusion to the paper. Wrap up what you have been discussing clearly.
Two sentences should be enough. (part 10 of the above rubric)
Present the assignment in paragraph form with proper spelling, grammar and sentence construction.
Examples:
Bad:
The scene was shot with a subjective point of view.
Bad:
The scene was shot with a subjective point of view which made us feel as we were seeing things through Steve’s eyes.
Good:
The
scene was shot with a subjective point of view letting us feel the
emotions that Steve had as he watched his best friend taking his last
breath.
