  3. ENG 225 Inspiring Minds/newtonhelp.com ENG 225 Week 1 DQ Effective Use of Aesthetic Choices For more course tutorials visit www.newtonhelp.com Effective Use of Aesthetic Choices. Think about how you watch film and how the aesthetic elements work together to create meaning for the viewer audience. Some of the important elements to consider are: editing, cinematography, and lighting. Analyze each of these aesthetic choices by following the instructions below. Editing: visual transitions between shots that work to move the story forward. 1. Watch the following clips. Each demonstrates the effective use of editing.  The baptism murders – The Godfather (8/9) movie clip (1972) HD  A Beautiful Mind (4/11) movie clip - Nash cracks the code (2011) HD  The shower –Psycho (5/12) movie clip (1960) HD 2. Choose one of the clips and analyze the effective use of editing in one short paragraph. In your analysis, describe the transitions between specific shots and the overall effect this has on the scene.

  4. ENG 225 Inspiring Minds/newtonhelp.com ENG 225 Week 2 Assignment Genres and Genre Film For more course tutorials visit www.newtonhelp.com Genres and Genre Film. After reviewing the discussion of genre in Chapter 8 of Film: From Watching to Seeing, demonstrate your understanding of one selected genre using a feature-length film.  Note: Several films are listed in Chapter 8 as emblematic of a specific genre. You are allowed to choose a film or genre not mentioned in Chapter 8, but you are strongly encouraged to email your professor to receive approval before doing so. In 800 to 1200 words: •   Explain genre theory and, using Chapter 8 of the text as a reference, thoroughly describe the conventions and attributes of your selected genre.

  5. ENG 225 Inspiring Minds/newtonhelp.com ENG 225 Week 2 DQ Genre Theory For more course tutorials visit www.newtonhelp.com Genre Theory. 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, or drama.  Understanding genre helps provide the viewer with certain expectations about the 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.

  6. ENG 225 Inspiring Minds/newtonhelp.com ENG 225 Week 3 Assignment Establishing Theme For more course tutorials visit www.newtonhelp.com Establishing Theme. Select a movie from AFI’s 10 Top 10 lists and explain how three cinematic techniques and/or design elements have helped establish a major theme in that film. In 800 to 1200 words: 1. Describe a major theme of the movie you have selected using evidence from the movie itself as well as course resources and other scholarly sources to support your position. 2. Identify at least three techniques (cinematography, lighting, acting style, or direction) and/or design

  7. ENG 225 Inspiring Minds/newtonhelp.com ENG 225 Week 3 DQ The Impact of Cinematography and Editing Options docx For more course tutorials visit www.newtonhelp.com The Impact of Cinematography and Editing Options. Explore movie clips from the Movieclipswebsite 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, making sure to analyze the placement and movement of characters and props in the scene as they relate to camera shots, color, and 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

  9. ENG 225 Inspiring Minds/newtonhelp.com ENG 225 Week 4 DQ The Cinematic Auteur Theory For more course tutorials visit www.newtonhelp.com The Cinematic Auteur. Auteur theory in film suggests not only that a director is the primary author of a film, but also that the film must be analyzed within the context of the director’s other films.Directors create certain expectations with their films much in the same way authors create certain expectations with their writing. As you construct your initial post, focus on the importance of auteur theory in film analysis and interpretation. 1. Name a director who you would consider an auteur and explain your reasoning. 2. Discuss the arguments against auteur theory and provide examples to support your points.

  10. ENG 225 Inspiring Minds/newtonhelp.com ENG 225 Week 5 DQ 1 The Impact of Evolving Technologies For more course tutorials visit www.newtonhelp.com The Impact of Evolving Technologies. There are many ways in which technology is affecting the production, distribution, and appreciation of films. According to the first letter of your last name, respond to your designated topic. Indicate Topic A or Topic B in the “Subject” of your post. Topic A (Last names beginning with A through M)  Think of how CGI, animation, and other advances in digital technology have changed the ways in which stories are told on film. Choose a film and discuss the importance of these advancements to its success as a mode of storytelling. How might it have been told differently, for better or worse, without these technological advancements?
