Title. What is the significance of the film’s title for the story? How does the title refer to the point of the film in terms of both explicit and implicit meanings? Illustrate your analysis with one image from the film (drawing or still) and analyze how particular element(s) in the shot support your analysis above. (about half page of text). 2. Opening and closing. What are the distinguishing formal elements of the opening and closing scenes of the film? What is the significance of these scenes for an understanding of the meaning of the film? How do the opening and closing scenes act as bookends (formal and/or thematic) for the film? Discuss with reference to Bordwell and Thompson’s comment that “A film does not just start, it begins and “A film doesn’t simply stop; it ends” (about half to one page of text). 3. Sound and Image Relationship. How does the relationship between the soundtrack and the visual track shape the spectator’s expectations in one scene or shot or series of shots in the film? Be sure to identify and discuss the implications of key aspects of the sound you are analyzing, for example, whether the sound is dialogue, noise, or music; sound qualities of timbre, loudness, or pitch; diegetic or non-diegetic sound; off screen sound or on-screen sound, etc. See Film Art, chapter 7; Corrigan, 74-79. Include one or two shot drawings or film stills to illustrate 4. Plot segmentation of scenes and key actions. Be sure you know what a scene is, how scenes are named, and how subsidiary actions described before you begin. Use an outline from as in Do not simply use DVD chapter titles. They do not generally adhere to a film studies’ approach to plot segmentation (three to five pages of text).If you don’t know what plot segmentation is, looking up The Wizard of Oz plot segmentation is a good example. 5 5. Analysis of two shots using appropriate notations. Choose shots from anywhere in the film; they need not be consecutive. For this response you should draw the shots rather than use stills from the film. Draw key features of composition such as placement of characters/objects in planes of foreground, middle ground, and background; striking formal elements such as extreme close up or depth of field; composition and balance in the frame; use of lighting, color, off screen space, etc. Use multiple drawings if necessary. Underneath each drawing list the following: i. Indicate scene by place name and give a brief (one sentence) description of the action. ii. Using abbreviations, indicate shot scale or distance (e.g. cu for close up) and angle of the shot (e.g. ha for high angle) as well as other elements where appropriate such as camera movement (e.g. trs for tracking shot, ps for pan shot, and use of arrow(s) to show direction); character movement within the shot, point-of-view shots (pov), etc. (See Corrigan chapter 2 for abbreviations and Bordwell and Thompson, for a useful list of terminologies.) iii. In one long paragraph (1/3 page), identify the key formal element(s) illustrated by the shot and discuss the significance of this formal element(s) for meaning in the film. The size of the drawings, part of a page to a full page, is up to you. Just be sure points i-iii immediately follow each drawing. Don’t place these drawings at the end of the entire entry. 6. Editing relations between two or three consecutive shots. Identify, draw and analyze two or three shots that illustrate a dominant editing strategy in the film and discuss the significance of these shots for that editing strategy (continuity or discontinuity editing; spatial, temporal, graphic, and/or rhythmic). For this response you should draw the shots rather than use stills from the film. (about half page of text). 7. Repetition and Difference. Identify, analyze and discuss the significance of ONE key pattern of repetition and difference in the use of formal elements in the film. Illustrate with two shots (drawing or film stills). Discuss how this pattern of repetition and difference shapes the spectator’s “way of seeing” the action or subject matter of the film (about half to one page of text). 8. Shot analysis in relation to one critical or theoretical approach. Select one shot (drawing or film still) or two consecutive shots and analyze it/them in relation to a key aspect of one of the following approaches studied: formalism/neoformalism, dialectical montage, Kino-truth (Kino-eye), cinematic realism, feminist psychoanalysis, genre theory, and auteur theory. Identify and analyze the formal element(s) in the shot(s) that are prioritized by the approach you select. That is, what is the meaning and significance of the shot(s) selected in relation to the conceptual agenda or critical concerns for film analysis associated with your selected approach? (about half to one page of text). 9. Critical scene analysis essay with film stills. Include a good title for your essay. Select a key scene that particularly interests you in one of the films studied. Develop an argument about the6 relationship between the use of at least two key formal elements in that scene and the implication(s) of those elements in terms of meaning(s) in the film (for example, you can discuss thematic/implicit meaning and/or symptomatic meaning and/or explicit meaning. Indicate scene name and a brief description of the action (one sentence). Incorporate a brief discussion of the usefulness of a critical/theoretical approach selected for analyzing the scene. You should select a different critical/theoretical approach from the one you use in #8. Be sure to analyze elements, not just describe them. DO NOT discuss the same shots you analyze elsewhere in your notes. DO NOT give plot summaries; assume your reader knows the film. Select a scene that we have not discussed in depth in class, that is, try to make points of your own. Two pages double-spaced for the essay and one additional separate page for illustrations (2-4 screen grabs of shots you analyze in your essay). On the still page, below each film still use the following notation: Figure # 1, 2, 3, 4 as they appear in your essay, followed by scene name and one sentence description of how you are using the shot in your analysis.Please provide an answer that is 100% original and do not copy the answer to this question from any other website since I am already well aware of this.
