Group in-class exercise: Identify stylistic elements in texts

• Groups 4, 5, and 6 move to Group Study Rooms in the Phifer Learning Commons.
• Connect to your study group's Google doc (above).
• As a group (you can work simultaneously on a Google doc), describe how select elements of mise-en-scene and cinematography (from lecture) are used in Shakespeare in Love to help construct the narrative.
• Identify each contribution you make by putting your initials after it. Use three initials if your group has students with the same two initials.

• For example:
  • Exposition: The exposition of this Friends episode starts with Rachel and Joey discussing a previously established storyline (Monica and Chandler getting together). The exposition for a second, related storyline and this episode's main story is when we see Monica and Chandler at a work party and it's established that he has an obnoxious "work laugh." A third storyline is introduced when Ross is angry about his ex-wife getting married. (JGB)
