Eng. Lit - film class assignment



Major Assignment #1: Scene Analysis
Step #1: Choose a film (preferably one you enjoy and are familiar with)
Step #2: Choose a scene from the film (one that really sticks out to you)
Step #3: Watch the scene completely from beginning to end
Step #4: Rewind to the beginning of the scene and begin your analysis (you will probably have to rewind the scene quite often to make sure you have all the information) *Tip: pause the film after each shot to check to see if you have all the required information so you don’t have to keep rewinding the film.
For each shot you need to note the following:
Camera setup – is it long shot, medium shot, close-up, extreme close-up, etc.
Camera movement – pan, tilt, boom, dolly, etc.
Lighting – describe the lighting in the scene, are certain characters given more light, etc.
Sound – music in the background, background noise (conversations, glass breaking),
musical score playing, song from soundtrack, etc.
Dialogue – summarize/state what is being discussed/said
Character movement – describe the characters, do they move, do they speak with an accent, do the use any props?

Your paper should be set up as follows:
Introduction: (paragraph form) identify the film, the director, the actors that are in the scene you analyzed, what the set looks like in the scene.
Body: Scene analysis (use the same format as the scene analysis example we did in class)
Conclusion: (paragraph form) explain why you chose this film and this particular scene for this assignment.
YOUR PAPER MUST BE TYPED, DOUBLED-SPACED!!!

THIS ASSIGNMENT IS DUE ON: october 3rd
