TCF340/Analytical Exercise (Discussion)

1. How does the mise-en-scene of the scene between Vincent and Alice function in terms of the narrative?
2. Diagram all of this scene's camera and actor positions from an overhead view. Does its editing adhere to the 180 degree system?
3. How do the cinematographic qualities of the single shot indicated in class (see below) function in terms of the narrative?
4. How does My Other Husband "develop" and what does a comparison of its beginning with its ending tell us about that development?
5. How do the story time and the screen time of My Other Husband differ in order and duration?
6. 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"?
