Film Studies Daily Log

Wednesday, June 8

We finished watching Dr. Strangelove. then spoke about the final examination tomorrow. Students will be shown short clips from three or four films and will be required to analyze how a certain specified element (or elements) of filmcraft (camera angle and movement, lighting, mise en scene, film editing, sound editing and musical score) is used in the clip. Students should review the original "Classical Hollywood Cinema: Style" packet to be sure they understand what is meant by each of these elements.

Final examination tomorrow
Review the packet.
