The objective here is to assist you in honing your viewing skills and developing a working vocabulary for film analysis.
and elaboration of the rubrics narrative, mise–en–scene, cinematography, sound, and editing. Make
sure in your answer that you use precise terminology that you learn from the lectures and FILM
ART. For EACH section (narrative, mise–en–scene, sound, photography, and editing) between 100
and 150 words.
Film Evaluation Sheets are graded for quality of discussion on the following scale:
9–10% (optimal, i.e. extensive, insightful commentary with salient examples and uses precise
cinematic vocabulary);
7–8% (good, i.e. thoughtful and polished responses with examples to illustrate a point);
6% (satisfactory, i.e. demonstrates adequate engagement with the film and course material)
5% (expresses difficulty in deploying cinematic vocabulary accurately, i.e., confuses editing with
cinematography)
4% (weak, i.e. has difficulty in perceiving what is noteworthy about the film; responses brief);
3% (one missed section);
1–2% (more than one missed section)
0% (failure to hand in on time or plagiarizes—even just phrases from sources).
I expect the average grade to be 7%.
As you will find, good notes are essential to writing and thinking about film. Take notes by
hand during your screening. Mark down not only the obvious things (character names, plot points,
name of the film) but , for instance, colour schemes and their significance, surprising shifts in plot,
striking images and how they are shot, non–diegetic music, unusual editing techniques, and so forth,
that will help you complete the Film Evaluation Sheets.
