Assignment
- Due Tuesday, February 20th, 11:59 p.m., via Blackboard/TurnItIn. Must be word-processed.
- To be discussed in-class on Wednesday, February 21st.
- This is the second of two critical analyses. Each is worth 7 points toward the 100 for the semester.
Preparation Part 1
- Choose a single scene in a movie, but not one we've watched in class.
- Scene analysis: break it down shot-by-shot.
- List and number every shot in your scene and identify what type of framing was used (long shot, medium shot, etc.; you may use abbreviations: LS, MS, CU). Describe any significant action in the shot, using the characters' (not the actors') names. Include only the most significant dialogue; do not include every line. Include a screenshot taken from each shot. In effect, you are creating a storyboard of your scene.
Sample scene breakdown
A template in a Word doc is available online. See also the Grey's Anatomy Découpage.
- LS exterior of Maggie's house, night.
- MS interior. Maggie makes dinner for Joel.
- CU Maggie talks to Joel about the night before. "Last night you were so different..."
- CU Joel responds.
- And so on . . .
Preparation Part 2
- Draw a diagram of your scene's camera positions and blocking--as in the diagram for Grey's Anatomy (below), but without the drawings of frames.
