Essay (35%) - due August 3rd 2018 Conduct an in-depth formal analysis of a film scene from the list below. Form a thesis about what you think is the ideology being expressed by the filmmakers. Prove your thesis by supplying evidence from four specific formal elements of the cinematic construction. Analyze a single formal element per paragraph (i.e. a camera angle, a visual composition, an editing transition, a sound mixing technique). Do not write about every instance of a particular formal technique being used throughout the entire scene. Do not write about more than one formal technique per paragraph. Do not write about the acting and facial expressions, how narrative comprehension is achieved, or how the scene advances the plot. Concentrate on how the cinematography, mise-en-scène, editing and/or sound design communicate the film’s ideological perspective on issues such as gender, class, race, sexuality, capitalism and technology. Use 2 brief quotes from the assigned readings to support your arguments.
Scene choices: 1. Joe Versus the Volcano (1990) - morning at the factory 2. Mulholland Drive (2001) - screen test 3. Die Hard (1988) - arrival at Nakatomi Plaza 4.
