Further Clarification on the Paper and Shot by Shot

The paper topic is a more in-depth study of something from the reading or the lessons that intrigued you.  ​For instance, you may be interested in the relationship between the way the eye sees (seccades) and camera movement.  Or, you may find the idea of the Golden Key fascinating.  If you need more help, send some ideas and I'll brainstorm with you.

The Shot by Shot is meant for you to pick a scene from a film that interests you, and then to break down a part of the scene (you will find the breaking down process to be quite time consuming and lengthy, and most scenes are too long to sustain) by considering motion vectors, lighting, sound, editing, shot construction, acting, camera placement, etc.  Explain why every choice was made, find lietmotifs, look at costumes, etc.  If you need more guidance, please let me know.

I will be emailing you this week individually just to check in.
