Description
Write a brief analysis (no more than 300 words) that explains how meaning and/or emotional effects are produced by the mise-en-scène in one of the sequences linked below. Discuss the sequence in relation to the film as a whole.
Your analysis will be evaluated according to your ability to:
Develop a claim that is substantive, contestable, and specific (see below);
Support that claim through an analysis of the mise-en-scène (including lighting) in the specified sequence. Keep your analysis limited to the mise-en-scène; do not discuss the cinematography, sound, or editing. If you can’t resist discussing cinematography, sound, or editing, put the discussion of these aspects of the sequence in parentheses to demonstrate that you’re aware you’ve gone beyond the scope of this assignment;
Use appropriate vocabulary to describe the mise-en- scène;
Write a well-organized paragraph that is clear and grammatically correct.
