LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION, HOMEWORK!

  • Take any short scene (2/3 minutes) from a text – film, TV fiction or TV ad. Take notes and be able to present your findings on:
    }Camerawork
    }How it has been edited
    }How lighting, costume, set design etc contribute to the narrative
    Now examine the sound track:
    What are the component parts of the sound? Music? Voices? Sound effects, including distortion? How have they been arranged and chosen? Are some louder than others? Why has each been included? Do they seem accidental?
    How have they been shaped around the action or talk in that scene? How close do the voices seem? How have they been chosen or constructed? How does all this contribute to the narrative?

Due Tuesday 13th October for Mrs Parish
