#'''Group 1:''' Describe the mise-en-scene of the scene shown in class (the second kiss).  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 blocking. (15 points)

Does ''Always Be My Maybe'' fit the classical implementation of:

#'''Group 2:''' In one shot, Bertram speaks with Sugarpuss. Note: This shot is not from the scene of the second kiss, which is to be used in questions #1 and #5. Discuss the cinematography (especially camera angle, framing and depth of field) of this shot in terms of how it supports the narrative.
