2. One 1000-word narrative summary and shot-by-shot analysis of a film clip from the module to be submitted in Week 8. The shot-by-shot analysis should be of a film clip no longer than 3 minutes. This will count for 30% of your final mark. ASSESSMENT CRITERIA: · Evidence in your work of a basic knowledge of key critical terms, ideas and texts used in the module in Weeks 1 to 7. · Evidence of close critical viewing of a film text shown in the module through shot-by-shot analysis. · All essay work must be presented in clear, concise language with accurate spelling, correct grammar and good use of the main techniques of academic reference WITH BIBLIOGRAPHY AND INTERNAL REFERENCING.. Guidance for Shot-by-Shot Analysis The main skills being tested in this assignment are those of observation, research and analysis. You should begin your preparation by watching your chosen film, then reading the relevant set readings from the Module Booklet. Follow up with the further reading, especially Bordwell and Thompson’s explanations of film form and style. You will then need to choose a SHORT section of film (no more than 3 minutes maximum). Using the grid suggested in Weeks 1 and 2 describe the MISE-EN-SCENE, CINEMATOGRAPHY, EDITING and SOUND in every single shot of the sequence, so it is a good idea to choose a short sequence of shots. This will provide the ROUGH material for your essay and should not be submitted as notes. To write the actual essay you will need to summarise the NARRATIVE of the film, explain the function of the sequence chosen within the narrative, then describe the form and style shot-by-shot. You will need to view this film text in terms of module material and use these to draw out, dissect and evaluate its content, structure and presentation.
