(1 to 2 pages, double-spaced, 12 point font)
For this assignment, you will choose a short film clip (no more than 3 minutes) and analyze it in terms of its composition, lens choice, lighting, depth of field and use of color. What can you tell about the framing, camera placement, shot sizes, camera height? What type of depth of field: shallow or great? What type of lighting: was it high key or low key? What can you tell about the shadows? The use of color? Most importantly, why were those choices made, in your opinion? What were the filmmakers going for? What were they trying to express?
Please go to YouTube, select a scene and post the link on Blackboard along with your analysis.
You will also present part of the scene in class. Make sure you clip is accessible on the day of the presentation. Each of you will have 3-5 minutes to show part of the clip and present your findings. There will be time for one or two questions after each presentation.
