Homework: Anatomy of a Scene
This homework involves watching-and making!--a movie. All films are available through the Swank streaming video database accessible through the FSW library website. Use the Chat with A Librarian feature if you're not sure how to access FSW's databases.
Part I: FROM THE LIST BELOW choose one film. You must choose only from the list below, not from the entire catalog.
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On / The Truman Show / Her / WALL-E
Moonlight / Arrival / Children of Men / Boyhood / Big Fish
The Florida Project / Everything, Everywhere, All at Once
Part II: Write a description of ONE scene (about 150 words) and include the time stamp for the scene within the film. Why do you think it is a pivotal scene in the film? Get the instant assignment help.
Include details like how the scene and technical details contributed to the overall dramatic or comedic effect of the movie.. Do not just read an online summary--or worse, plagiarize by copying and pasting an online summary! If you don't have time to watch an entire movie before the due date, wait until you do have time and turn the homework in late. (The penalty is only 5 points per week.) Every semester, students take shortcuts, plagiarize, and receive grades of zero. Just watch the film.
Describe things like how the shot is set up, how the sequence is edited (the cuts) for effect, how the lighting and direction and acting contribute. Is the scene comedic or dramatic (be mindful that a dramatic scene can appear in a comedy and vice versa)? Be sure and use at least three terms from the chapter.
Part III: Make your own 1-minute film inspired by the movie and discuss your process. (At least 200 words) Upload your video under the homework-it's ok if you have to submit it separately from your written essay. Then tell me about your own creative process in making this short film. You can be as creative as you'd like in your film, but just be sure that you have permission from anyone else who appears in it. One minute is the minimum, but you can make it longer if you'd like.
