OK. Remember, this assignment is MORE practice for the Presentation assessment next year. Choose a 5 minute scene in Rififi to analyze. There may be clips on YouTube, but you can also come into the library to re-watch scenes.
After you have your 5 minute scene chosen, analyze it completely. Remember that you need to mention why you chose the scene and this scene's relation to the film as a whole. In addition, pay close attention to: mise en scene, lighting, camera angles, shot types, etc. Here is a list of items to pay attention to when you are writing your 750 words (at least) and when you are doing your oral presentation:
- How well do I understand how meaning is constructed through the use of film language in this extract?
- How well do I understand the extract’s relationship to the film as a whole?
- How well do I understand the influences of the film’s genre?
- How well can I place the film and this extract in a broader socio-cultural context?
- How insightful is my analysis of the director’s intention?
- How coherent, incisive, insightful, and detailed is my evaluative interpretation of this contract?
Here is a list of "vocab" you can use:
narrative
direction
cinematography
mise-en-scene
lighting (which is often, but not always, considered part of mise-en-scene)
camera movement
editing
sound (diagetic and non-diagetic)
Be sure your paper is AT LEAST 750 words. Let your ideas flow. Don't keep counting words and they will come. I promise you. As you start talking about what you see and hear in the film, you won't want to stop!
Please see me/email me with questions if needed.
