ENGH 372 Professor Kevin M. Flanagan Shot-by-Shot Analysis (20% of grade, out of 20 points total) Choose a scene from any one of the films we have watched together this semester. Within that scene, choose a sequence of fifteen consecutive shots and create a typed shot-by-shot breakdown as demonstrated in the sample. The following information should be included with each shot: Column 1: shot number Column 2: editing transition used (cut, dissolve, fade to black, etc); if the shot is a point-of-view shot, state that here; if it is the reverse angle of the previous shot, note that as well Column 3: the following information: • • • • • Shot distance from what is being filmed (long shot, medium shot, etc) Camera angle (high, low, straight-on) Significant aspects of mise-en-scene (you do not have to list everything; only what is essential to interpreting/analyzing the sequence) All camera movement/mobile framing if there is no movement in the shot you do not have to write that; only note what is there Column 4: All diegetic sound (indicate dialogue if any, but you do not have to transcribe it); if sound is offscreen, note that. Column 5: All non-diegetic sound After the shot-by-shot breakdown itself, write 1-3 sentences explaining why you selected the scene/sequence you did, and describe how you think it relates to the film as a whole. Is it representative of what we see elsewhere? Exceptional in some way? To save on space, you may use standard abbreviations (for example: POV, ELS, MCU), as long as you make it clear that you know what they stand for. For instance, the first time write Pointof-View, then use POV thereafter). Important guidelines: • Use common sense when selecting a sequence: do not choose a sequence without any sound at all; do not choose a sequence consisting only of credits or shot/reverse shot conversation. • choose fifteen consecutive shots. Do not skip around within a scene/sequence. Only analyze 15 shots in a row. • Include the time code for your sequence so that I can find it. If I can’t find it, I can’t grade it. If viewing anywhere other than SWANK, let me know (for instance, The Conversation on PlutoTV).
