The last two days, we've been learning terminology and techniques for "reading" and analyzing film. Today I want you to put this into practice by choosing THREE clips from those on slides 35-39. For each clip:

1) Watch the clip one-two times, noting features of mise-en-scene

2) Write a 3-5 sentence explanation of what how the filmmaker is using elements of mise-en-scene in the clip to tell the story. You dhoulf identify at least TWO specific elements of mise-en-scene that are being used (ie, lighting, color, sound design, camera angles, framing/composition, etc) AND you should explain WHAT EFFECT the mise-en-scene has on the scene (ie, does it create a specific mood? amplify a character trait or relationship? show a theme?)

You can work on your own or with a partner, but be sure to tell me in your assignment submission if you work with someone :)
