#''Briefly'' describe the mise-en-scene of the scene in which Sugarpuss kisses Bertram the ''second'' time (see illustrations above and [http://www.tcf.ua.edu/EO/DV/BallOfFire02big.php this online clip]).  How does mise-en-scene function in term of the narrative? That is, how does it help to build the characters and their relationship?  Be sure to discuss setting, costume, lighting, and the positioning of the actors. (15 points)
 
−
#Based on [http://www.tcf.ua.edu/EO/DV/BallOfFire02big.php the "second kiss" scene] from question #1, draw a single diagram of the professors' work room from an overhead, "bird's eye" view.  Indicate the main camera and actor positions. Label the camera positions for shot "1," "2," etc.--similar to ''Television'''s 180-degree diagram, but do ''not'' include the side-view frames of the people (below). Be sure to account for all 14 shots. Does the editing adhere to the 180 degree system?  Explain.
 
−
#Explain in your own words what the concept of "sound perspective" means. How would you describe the sound perspective in the "second kiss" scene? Judging from how it sounds, what conventional position of the microphone was used? Explain.
 
−
#What is the central narrative enigma of ''Ball of Fire''? Comparing the film's beginning and ending, how is that enigma posed to the viewer and is it resolved or not at the end?
 
−
#How do the story time and the screen time of ''Ball of Fire'' differ in order and duration?
 
−
#Does ''Ball of Fire'' follow the narrative conventions of classical cinema—as the ''Television'' textbook explains it? Refer to  individual scenes to discuss this.
 
−
#In one shot (below), Bertram speaks with Sugarpuss. Note: This shot is ''not'' from the scene of the second kiss, which is to be used in the mise-en-scene and editing questions. Discuss the cinematography (especially camera angle, framing and depth of field) of this shot in terms of how it supports the narrative.

  1. What is "continuity editing"? In what sense is it "continuous"?
  2. Where does the 180-degree rule get its name? (See Peter John Ross's example)
    • What is its purpose?
  3. Identify these editing conventions in this scene from Out of the Past:
    • Group 2: Establishing shot
    • Group 3: Shot/reverse-shot (sometimes called "shot/counter-shot")
    • Match cuts:
      • Group 4: Eyeline match
      • Group 1: Match on action
    • All Groups: Jump cut (if any)

Scene découpage

Each student individually:

  1. Television discusses the editing of this scene from Grey's Anatomy, breaking it down in what the book calls a découpage.
    • We can create a similar découpage of a scene from Steven Soderbergh's Out of Sight, featuring Jack Foley (George Clooney) and Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez). Using this découpage, draw an overhead diagram of the camera positions of all eight shots--similar to the 180-degree diagram above. (Draw just one diagram that shows all the camera and actor positions.)
    • Does this scene use the editing conventions listed above? Be specific. Hint: be sure to look closely at the first shot. It's a reflection in the window!
