1. Summary & Creative elements –costumes (or clothing in a doc) can either enhance the movie or betray its intent. Colors can be vivid and lift the atmosphere or mood in the movie or they can be dull and make it seem depressing. Good sound effects or music enrich the viewing experience while bad ones only destroy everything. Moreover, camera movements and angles also add elements to the story. Take notes of symbols in the story, if any.

Film Worksheet
Art Education 1600 Art and Music since 1945
For this assignment, you are to see a film this semesterand fill out your worksheet. In a nutshell, your job is to use the skills you learned for the Art Worksheet, but now you will have to consider combinations of sound and moving images, which will complicate the task in a different way.
Step 1 Select a Film
Dear students:
I hope this assignment is interesting for you. You will choose the film you write about from a list of films we provide. Selecting a film to watch may seem as simple as picking a movie with favorite actors or a genre you like (science fiction, super heroes, detective mysteries, romance). Selecting a movie, however, with enough interesting content to write about is another matter. In addition to having a plot, as most movies do, there have to be other complexities involved. Because you cannot always know this when you buy your ticket, it will help to read reviews beforehand. Two kinds of reviews can be helpful. First, professional critics, who have seen many movies, write from a well-informed point of view, but you should remember that theirs is just one point of view. Many critics address mainstream audiences or small niche audiences with a particular interest. Other critics may specialize in one film genre or the other. Whatever the case, they can tell you a lot about the plot and depth of a film, but there is more to consider.
Beyond the perspective of Professional critic, with their one point of view, are other voices from moviegoers, like yourselves, who have seen films you are interested in and they often post their responses on blogs and theater websites. These reviews are not from professionals, but can be just as valid, so long as they tell why they feel the way they do about one movie or another. Both kinds of critics can be helpful as you narrow your choice of a film to write about. In the end, you still have to pick a film on the list you feel like writing about. Think of this task as a challenge to yourself.

Rules from the Syllabus
1. The film you select must be one that you view personally. You must see a film that is in theaters this semester and you must see it in a theater. Even if you choose an older film made in 1945 or later, we want you to see the film in a theater. At a theater, you see and feel the effects of the sound and moving images that are crucial to every film. When shown on television or even played from a DVD on a cutting edge five-channel system, the experience is not the same as going to a theatre. In addition to your responses to the film, we want you to tell about your ritual of attending a film. Do you go alone, with friends, on a da ...

REMEMBER
1. You must view the film for this worksheet personally and you must see it in a theater this semester. (Free screenings at the Union also count as a theater). Even if you choose an older film made in 1945 or later, we want you to see the film in a theater. At a theater, you sense the effects of the sound and moving images as they were intended. Films reproduced for television or on DVD on a home system lose the effect you sense in a theater.
2. Connect your review of the film with the cultural and social ideas we address in class. How do you think audiences relate the narrative on screen with other narratives in the press or entertainment media? Superheroes, for example, save the day when complicated agencies of government and military fail.
3. Look over the Film Worksheet before you attend the film, so you know what to look for in the film. Taking notes during the film is usually a problem, but you can make your notes afterward. You might be surprised at how much you will recall about the film and your experience of viewing it.

is a term meant to encompass the arrangement and use of a variety of design elements in creating the visual theme of a film. Please look through Chapter 5 (Mise en Scene and Actors) for more information on this term.
It can be easier to grasp the importance of the term mise en scène if we break it down into its component elements. This week, we’ll look at the impact of lighting choices on the creation of meaning in a film.
In any film, the intensity and direction of lighting will influence how an image is perceived by the viewer, and it can establish or enforce particular themes. Using specific examples from your chosen film, construct a blog post in which youIdentify the type of lighting used in the film (traditional three-point, high-key, or low-key) and assess the impact of the lighting used to establish the theme. What are the benefits of the style of lighting used?How did this technique contribute to the theme?How was the lighting technique suited to the genre of the film? For example, documentary films tend to rely on natural light as a way of creating an overall tone of authenticity.Compare how the scene would play if different choices had been made.
You must use at least two outside sources, in any combination of embedded video clips, still photos, or scholarly sources. All sources should be documented in APA style as outlined by the Ashford Writing Center. It is suggested that you approach this blog by focusing your attention on the same film you will write about in this week’s “Genres and Genre Film” assignment.
*Blog 2*
As we have been discussing, the mise en scène of a film is the use of a variety of design elements to create the visual theme. Please look through Chapter 5 (Mise en Scene and Actors) for more information on this term.
Last week, we examined how different lighting styles and choices affected the final impact of a film. This week, we will consider different types of sound at work in film and assess how they contribute to the overall sense of meaning in a film.
There are many types of sound in a film. Some are diegetic (sounds that are represented as coming from within the world of the film); others are non-diegetic (sounds that come from outside the world of the film). Using specific examples from your chosen film, construct a blog post in which youDescribe each of the three basic categories of sound (dialogue, sound effects, and music). Explain how the different categories of sound are being used in your chosen film. Assess the impact of sound in establishing the theme. How does the use of sound inform the mood of the scene, or the film overall? Can you identify specific sounds in your film that allow you to infer a particular genre? Since each category of sound may produce a range of effects, how might you characterize the effects in your film? For example, realistic and expected sound effects may have a different effect on a viewer than ...

Part II: As you watch and reflect on the film, pay attention to the deliberate choices of the filmmakers and the impact of those choices on viewers. It may be helpful to organize your thinking around four key elements of film, listed below.
CINEMATOGRAPHY (Camera Angle, Camera Distance, Camera Movement, etc)
EDITING (linking/cutting together of different shots, added effects, arrangement)
SOUND (emerging from within the scene AND sound that was added later, like musical score)
MISE-EN-SCENE (means literally “put into the scene” and can include: props, costuming, makeup, staged body language, lighting—any element that makes the scene)
Part III. Analyze the rhetorical situation and intend.

The Impact of Cinematography and Editing Options
Prepare
As you prepare to write this discussion, take a few moments to do the following:
· Review the Modeled Discussion.
· Read any required and recommended reading materials for this week, especially Chapter 7 from the text.
· Review the grading rubric for this discussion.
· Explore movie clips from the Movieclips website or the Internet Movie Database – IMDB.
Reflect
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 scène. What analysis can you make about the placement and movement of characters and props in the scene as they relate to camera shots, color, lighting, and other elements of cinematography?
Write(due Thursday, Day 3)
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 view, what mood, symbolism, or meaning results from the scene’s creative editing and cinematography?
Include the name or partial name of the film clip you analyzed in the “Subject” line of your discussion. Include the link to your film clip in the body of your post. Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.
Respond to Peers(due Monday, Day 7)
Respond to at least two classmates who reviewed a different clip than your own. After watching the movie clips reviewed by your classmates, compare how the scenes would be different had the editors or cinematographers chosen other options. Your responses should be 125 to 150 words each.
Please view the video Accessing Feedback in the Gradebook for guidance on how to review your instructor’s feedback when the post is graded.
Week 3 Instructor Guidance
Try to imagine a person walking. It could be anyone--male or female-- someone you know, or a famous actor. Can you visualize it?
After a while, this walker comes to a house. We don't really get a chance to look at the exterior of the house too much--maybe the shot is too tight, too closely aligned with Walker's point of view. But anyway, as Walker approaches the door and reaches out for the knob we hear something . . .
What we hear has a huge impact on how we're going to react to what comes next. Imagine that what we hear is:
· A piercing, violently repetitive violin string arrangement (similar to what you might hear in a suspense film Psycho)
·
·
· The deep, resounding sounds of a bass being strummed complete with pauses (similar to what you might hear in a thriller like Jaws)
·
·
· A sprightly piano roll with some sloppy but peppy percussion in the background (similar to what you m ...
