TCF340/Analytical Exercise (Discussion)

1. Group 2: How does the mise-en-scene of the scene between Vincent and Alice function in terms of the narrative?
2. Group 3: Diagram all of this scene's camera and actor positions from an overhead view. Does its editing adhere to the 180 degree system?
3. Group 4: How do the cinematographic qualities of the single shot indicated in class (see below) function in terms of the narrative?
4. Group 1: How does My Other Husband "develop" and what does a comparison of its beginning with its ending tell us about that development?
5. All Groups: How do the "story" and the "plot" of My Other Husband differ in order, duration and frequency?
6. All Groups: What do Bordwell and Thompson call the element of sound design which creates "a sense of spatial distance and location analogous to the cues for visual depth and volume"?
