Instructions: choose 4 of the 6 clips below and write a 1-paragraph analysis of each, using vocabulary from our Language of Film presentation to discuss its cinematic elements: mise-en-scene, composition, framing, camera angle, camera movement, shot duration, editing, and sound. You do not need to reference every term from the Language of Film presentation; however, you will be expected to focus on the most relevant ones for each clip. Try to write a thoughtful and detailed paragraph for each clip that you choose. Be sure to label each paragraph with the letter of the clip that corresponds to it.
The analysis paragraphs should be written on your blogs. Each paragraph will be worth from 1-5 points based on insightfulness of comments (how well do you observe?), effective application of film terms (how correctly do you use the vocabulary?), thoroughness of discussion (how many different film terms you use?), and quality of writing (and how well you communicate your ideas?). The total blog assignment will be worth 20 points.
