**Each student should be prepared to answer the following decoupage questions from the textbook (p. 311), although you may talk about them in your group:
 
−
*#How is the scene’s space, the area in which the action takes place (i.e., the car), introduced to the viewer? Does an establishing shot occur at the start of the scene (or later in it)?
 
−
*#Skip.
 
−
*#Do these angles adhere to the 180° rule? Is screen direction maintained? If not, why is the viewer not disoriented? Or if the space is ambiguous, what narrative purpose does that serve?
 
−
*#Skip.
 
−
*#Is an alternating editing pattern used? Is shot-reverse shot used?
 
−
*#How does the camera relate to the character’s perspective? Are there point-of-view or subjective shots? If so, how are those shots cued or marked? That is, what tells us that they are subjective or point-of-view shots?
 
−
*#Is match-on-action used? Are there jump cuts?
 
−
*#How does the last shot of the scene bring it to a conclusion?
 
−
*#Skip.

Revision as of 14:52, 10 November 2011

Group 3

  • Explain what focal length is -- using the textbook illustrations.
  • How does a zoom in/out look different from a track in/out?

Group 4

  • Explain what depth of field is -- using the textbook illustrations.
  • What is the difference between deep focus and deep space (as in mise-en-scene)?

Group 1

  • Explain what aspect ratio is -- using the textbook illustrations.
  • Also explain letterbox and pan-and-scan.

Group 2

  • Explain the significance of camera framing, height, and movement -- using the textbook illustrations.
  • When might movement be used that does not follow a character? How is a Steadicam shot different from a handheld shot?

If you were a cinematographer reshooting the Northern Exposure shot (below), from the scene we saw Tuesday, how might you change these cinematographic aspects? How would that change affect the scene's impact or the viewer's understanding of it? Each group should apply this exercise to its specific cinematographic aspect (above).
