This document outlines an AS Film Studies session that aims to deconstruct the opening scene of Pirates of the Caribbean using technical film language. By the end of the session, students should be able to discuss key film features, analyze the opening scene technically, and research a scene for a micro essay. The class will break into groups to focus on camera work, mise-en-scene, sound design, and editing order within the opening scene. Students are assigned homework to copy notes from the class into their film folders.
