Film Analysis Worksheet FILM _______________________________________________________
| First 2-3 Minutes
What happens?
What mood/tone is set in the first few minutes? How? (Angles? Lighting? Composition? Mise-en-Scène?)
What are your expectations about what the film will be like at this point? |
|
| First 10 Minutes
What do you know at the end of the first 5 minutes that you didn’t in the first 2-3? Has the visual ‘tone’ of the film continued? Are there some visual techniques that the director is still using?
What sort of story is starting to emerge? What is your impression of the characters? Has a ‘main’ character emerged? |
|
| First 30 Minutes
Story so far? Developing plot points? subplots? Character development?
Is there a visual motif that continues?
|
|
| First 60 Minutes
What sort of information do you now know about the characters that you did not in the first 30?
Has anything happened that you weren’t expecting? What do you think will happen in the end?
How has the technique of the director added to your impressions or to your frustrations?
|
|
| END OF FILM
Is it an ‘open’ or a ‘closed’ ending? (Remember, open endings are not just about setting up a sequel, they are a lack of resolution, a refusal to ‘answer your questions’).
Were you frustrated? Why/ why not?
Were are of the plot points ‘tied up’ at the end?
Was the character development fulfilled? Did the main character ‘grow’ emotionally or mentally, learning something about himself or herself? |
