Overview
About 3-4 pages each. The assignment is to discuss any movie or television program of your choice, describing and analyzing a significant use of one of the designated formal elements Paper #2, editing & sound in ONE SELECTED SCENE. Describe in some detail how the selected scene uses form in an expressive way; that is, describe and discuss specific aspects of style. How does form create content/meaning/affect? DO NOT critique a film that we screened in class; OR one extensively discussed by Barsam & Monahan. Feel free, however, to refer in your analysis to films we have seen if relevant.
I chose Jurassic World- Take a single scene from a movie or TV show of your choice and analyze it in terms of how it uses aspects of editing and sound to communicate narrative and/or thematic meanings about the story as a whole: time/space relationships, development of narrative info, use of off-screen space, setting the mood, etc.
