Write an analysis of the stylistic properties of a short sequence
Write an analysis of the stylistic properties of a short sequence (approx. 2-5 minutes) of your choosing from one of the films featured on the module.
Analyse the mise-en-scène, camerawork, sound and editing in the sequence.
Please also see the original guidance materials (video tutorial, example etc).
Remember: don’t simply describe what is shown.
Additionally, you must analyse the formal elements and interpret how they contribute to the meaning of the sequence, and, as appropriate, the film as a whole: your focus should be on how form (style and structure) expresses content (themes, character etc).
In addition, remember that films and their formal elements may generate multiple meanings; they are open to interpretation.
Do not state the obvious; seek to offer insight into the text by exploring the subtle connotations of formal elements: aim for depth
The movie is Scott Pilgrim vs the World.
