  • Effective Use of Aesthetic Choices. Think about
    how you watch film and how the aesthetic elements
    work together to create meaning for the viewer
    audience. Some of the important elements to
    consider are editing, cinematography, and
    lighting. Analyze each of these aesthetic choices
    by following the instructions below.
  • Editing visual transitions between shots that
    work to move the story forward.
  • 1. Watch the following clips. Each demonstrates
    the effective use of editing.
  • ? The baptism murders The Godfather (8/9) movie
    clip (1972) HD
  • ? A Beautiful Mind (4/11) movie clip - Nash
    cracks the code (2011) HD ? The shower Psycho
    (5/12) movie clip (1960) HD
  • 2. Choose one of the clips and analyze the
    effective use of editing in one short paragraph.

  • Genres and Genre Film. After reviewing the
    discussion of genre in Chapter 8 of Film From
    Watching to Seeing, demonstrate your
    understanding of one selected genre using a
    feature-length film. 
  • Note Several films are listed in Chapter 8 as
    emblematic of a specific genre. You are allowed
    to choose a film or genre not mentioned in
    Chapter 8, but you are strongly encouraged to
    email your professor to receive approval before
    doing so.

  • ENG 225 Week 2 DQ Genre Theory

  •  
  •  
  • Genre Theory. Genre, a category of artistic
    production characterized by similarities in
    composition and style, is a term used to discuss
    literature, music, art, and film. It is
    particularly useful in critical applications
    because it distinguishes a work within a context
    of similar works. In film, we are familiar with
    certain broad genre categories such as horror,
    science-fiction, romance, or drama. 
  • Understanding genre helps provide the viewer with
    certain expectations about the film. For
    instance, the film The Conjuring trailer (Version
    2) is of the horror genre and thus can be
    discussed in context with other horror films.
    More specifically, it is of the sub-genre,
    supernatural horror, so it can be discussed in
    context with, say, The Exorcist trailer. Making
    this distinction enables the audience to situate
    their reaction within a particular framework.

    well as

  • The Impact of Cinematography and Editing Options.
    Explore movie clips from the Movieclipswebsite or
    the Internet Movie Database IMDB. Choose a clip
    that you wish to analyze. The clip you choose
    must be from a film (preferably from a film with
    which you are familiar) not a film trailer or a
    mash- up. Re-watch your chosen movie clip while
    closely observing the mise en scene, making sure
    to analyze the placement and movement of
    characters and props in the scene as they relate
    to camera shots, color, and lighting, and other
    elements of cinematography.
  • In your discussion, analyze at least three
    elements of cinematography and editing (e.g.,
    lighting, color, shots, focus, transitions, and
    types of cuts) by evaluating the dramatic impact
    of the scene. Interpret the scene based on your
    analysis. In your

  •  
  •  
  • The Cinematic Auteur. Auteur theory in film
    suggests not only that a director is the primary
    author of a film, but also that the film must be
    analyzed within the context of the directors
    other films.Directors create certain expectations
    with their films much in the same way authors
    create certain expectations with their writing.
  • As you construct your initial post, focus on the
    importance of auteur theory in film analysis and
    interpretation.
  • 1. Name a director who you would consider an
    auteur and explain your reasoning.
  • 2. Discuss the arguments against auteur theory
    and provide examples to support your points.

  •  
  • The Impact of Evolving Technologies. There are
    many ways in which technology is affecting the
    production, distribution, and appreciation of
    films. According to the first letter of your last
    name, respond to your designated topic. Indicate
    Topic A or Topic B in the Subject of your post.
  • Topic A (Last names beginning with A through M) 
  • Think of how CGI, animation, and other advances
    in digital technology have changed the ways in
    which stories are told on film. Choose a film and
    discuss the importance of these advancements to
    its success as a mode of storytelling. How might
    it have been told differently, for better or
    worse, without these technological advancements?

  • Film Analysis and Its Applications. As you have
    learned in this class, film is a far- reaching
    medium with the potential to affect the greater
    fabric of our culture. Our understanding this
    potential and our ability to analyze it reach far
    beyond just this medium and into all areas of our
    social structures and culture. For example, the
    practice of closely analyzing particular films,
    which weve honed in this course, is the same
    practice of analysis which you will find in other
    courses or in learning any new skill.
