2. As you prepare to write this discussion, take a few moments
to do the following:
week, especially Chapter 3 from the text.
· Select a full-length film from the AFI 10: Top 10 list.

Our textbook sets up a distinction between story and plot,
stating that story is what happens in a movie, and plot is how it
happens. The distinction may seem minor; however, throughout
this course, we will be scrutinizing the various aesthetic choices
and cinematic techniques that work together to create meaning
in any movie. With that in mind, we can see that how a film
presents action can be very important.
Please view the video Adding Pictures and Video to
Discussions and Introductions for guidance on how to integrate
multimedia with your response.
In at least 200 words, describe the relationship of story to plot
in your chosen film. Be sure to:
· Identify the title, writer, director, major actors, and the year.
· Summarize the story and plot of your chosen movie.
· Discuss whether your film is presented chronologically or
non-linearly. In your discussion, address the following:
· How did this aesthetic choice contribute to the general effect
on the audience?
· How are elements like character development or
foreshadowing impacted by the choice of storytelling methods?
· If the film had followed a different presentation style, how
would the general effect on the audience have been different?
You must use at least two outside sources, in any combination
of embedded video clips, still photos, or scholarly sources. All
sources should be documented in APA style
week, especially Chapter 4 from your text and the articles by
Grant and Wright.
· Select a full-length film from the AFI 10 Top 10 list.
Genre, a category of artistic production characterized by
similarities in composition and style, is a term used to discuss
literature, music, art, and film. It is particularly useful in

critical applications because it distinguishes a work within a
context of similar works. In film, we are familiar with certain
broad genre categories such as horror, science-fiction, romance,
and drama.
Understanding genre helps provide the viewer with certain
expectations about film. For instance, the film The Conjuring
trailer (Version 2) is of the horror genre and thus can be
discussed in context with other horror films. More specifically,
it is of the sub-genre, supernatural horror, so it can be discussed
in context with, say, The Exorcist trailer. Making this
distinction enables the audience to situate their reaction within
a particular framework.
In this discussion
· Identify a film and classify it according to its genre (or sub-
genre). Include a link(s) to a trailer or scene(s) from the film.
You may choose to continue with a film you have already
discussed.
· Discuss the conventions that are typical in films of that genre
(or sub-genre).
· Explain how this specific film meets the expectations of its
genre.
Include the name or partial name of the film you identified in
the “Subject” line of your discussion. Your initial post should
be at least 200 words in length. Support your claims with
examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly
resources, and properly cite any references.
4. Mise en scène is a term meant to encompass the arrangement
and use of a variety of design elements in creating the visual
theme of a film. Please look through Chapter 5 (Mise en Scene
and Actors) for more information on this term.
As you prepare to write this discussion, take a few moments to
do the following:
week, especially Chapter 5 (Mise en Scene and Actors).

It can be easier to grasp the importance of the term mise en
scène if we break it down into its component elements. This
week, we’ll look at the impact of lighting choices on the
creation of meaning in a film.
In any film, the intensity and direction of lighting will influence
how an image is perceived by the viewer, and it can establish or
enforce particular themes. Think back over films you have
watched and consider how the use of lighting in key scenes
helped establish the theme or tone.
Please view the video Adding Pictures and Video to Discussions
and Introductions for guidance on how to integrate multimedia
with your response.
Using specific examples from your chosen film, write a post in
which you
· Identify the type of lighting used in the film (traditional three-
point, high-key, or low-key) and assess the impact of the
lighting used to establish the theme.
· What are the benefits of the style of lighting used?
· How did this technique contribute to the theme?
· How was the lighting technique suited to the genre of the
film? For example, documentary films tend to rely on natural
light as a way of creating an overall tone of authenticity.
· Compare how the scene would play if different choices had
been made.
sources should be documented in APA style
It is suggested that you approach this post by focusing your
attention on the same film you will write about in this week’s
“Genres and Genre Film” assignment.
week, especially Chapter 7 from the text.

· Explore movie clips from the Movieclips website or
the Internet Movie Database – IMDB.
Choose a clip that you wish to analyze. The clip you choose
must be from a film (preferably from a film with which you are
familiar) – not a film trailer or a mash-up. Re-watch your
chosen movie clip while closely observing the mise en scène.
What analysis can you make about the placement and movement
of characters and props in the scene as they relate to camera
shots, color, lighting, and other elements of cinematography?
In your discussion, analyze at least three elements of
cinematography and editing (e.g., lighting, color, shots, focus,
transitions, and types of cuts) by evaluating the dramatic impact
of the scene. Interpret the scene based on your analysis. In your
view, what mood, symbolism, or meaning results from the
scene’s creative editing and cinematography?
Include the name or partial name of the film clip you analyzed
in the “Subject” line of your discussion. Include the link to your
film clip in the body of your post. Your initial post should be at
least 200 words in length. Support your claims with examples
from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources,
and properly cite any references.
6. As we have been discussing, the mise en scène of a film is
the use of a variety of design elements to create the visual
theme. As you prepare to write this discussion, take a few
moments to do the following:
week, especially Chapter 5 (Mise en Scene and Actors).
Last week, we examined how different lighting styles and
choices affected the final impact of a film. This week, we will
consider different types and categories of sound at work in film
and assess how they contribute to the overall sense of meaning
in a film.

There are many types of sound in a film. Some are diegetic
(sounds that are represented as coming from within the world of
the film); others are non-diegetic (sounds that come from
outside the world of the film). Your text describes the different
categories of sound that fall under those types. What types of
sounds, and what categories, are most effectively used in the
film under consideration?
Please view the video Adding Pictures and Video to Discussions
and Introductions for guidance on how to integrate multimedia
with your response.
Using specific examples from your chosen film, construct a
discussion post of at least 200 words in which you
· Describe each of the three basic categories of sound (dialogue,
sound effects, and music).
· Explain how the different categories of sound are being used
in your chosen film.
· Assess the impact of sound in establishing the theme.
· How does the use of sound inform the mood of the scene, or
the film overall?
· Can you identify specific sounds in your film that allow you to
infer a particular genre?
· Since each category of sound may produce a range of effects,
how might you characterize the effects in your film? For
example, realistic and expected sound effects may have a
different effect on a viewer than exaggerated or unexpected
ones.
· Assess how the scene or sequence would play differently if
you changed or removed a key category of sound.
sources should be documented in APA style. It is suggested that
you approach this post by focusing your attention on the same
film you will write about in this week’s “Establishing Theme”
assignment.
