This document provides instructions for a home study exercise analyzing film scenes. Students are asked to select a scene of up to 1 minute and record details about the clips within the scene, including length, shot types, and lighting. They are to analyze two sample clips from Avengers: Infinity War and Deadpool, noting the length, shot types, and lighting of each clip. Finally, students are prompted to review the clips again and answer questions about the longest/shortest clips, usual clip lengths, and reasons for particularly long or short clips.
