[SOLVED] Shot to Shot Analysis
This assignment must not exceed 3 pages (double-spaced, Times New Roman,12-point font margins no smaller than 1 inch).PART ONE (10 marks)Identify the first 10 shots of any film from the course. Use slug lines toidentify scenes (the first 10 shots might be one scene or more than one scene: ifit makes sense to do so, the first ten shots could be counted from after theopening title sequence). Look at the sample paper provided for an example ofusing slug lines.Number each shot and provide a brief description of what we see in each shot and its significance. In your descriptions, pay attention to the following.aspects of the shot: type of shot (camera angle, distance, height); framing andcomposition; lighting; staging; camera movement.This section is more likethe kind of notes you would make to prepare for acritical analysis so complete sentences are not essential (again, look at thesample paper) although you should still use correct punctuation and the writing needs to be clear.PART TWO (10 marks)Describe and discuss the functions of editing in this opening sequence. In yourresponse, analyze the spatial, temporal, and rhythmic dimensions of editing (these ideas are covered in the textbook and in the course material for WeekSix). How does editing communicate the spatial and temporal relations ofparticular events in the story? How does this opening sequence prepare the viewer for the film that is to follow? How does an awareness of the film as a whole help to explain the significance of this opening sequence?This section of the assignment must be written in clear, precise, andgrammatically correct prose; pay particular attention to using correct spelling andcomplete sentences. In your analysis, make sure to justify any statements that you make about the editing and its significance by referring to identifiable,concrete examples (PART ONE should have provided you with some of theseexamples).At the end of your assignment provide a Works Cited in MLA format listing thefilm from which you have taken the sequence (see entry on Films or Movies: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/09/). The Works Cited can be inaddition to your 3-page limit.Films to select from1. La Jetée2. Rashomon3. The Piano4. Citizen Kane5. Lady Bird
