Text Analysis: Film Techniques Parent Signature Task Outline:
“Films tell stories in a variety of ways, through plot but also through the visual language of film techniques. These techniques establish setting, mood and the pace of the plot, explain how this is true (using examples taken from two of the short films viewed this term). Refer to at least three specific film techniques used in each of the films you analyse.”
You may embed screen shots of specific examples of camera angles/colour schemes used in these films to demonstrate the techniques used in each of the three films discussed. These screen shots will need to be included at the end of the essay and referred to by their label (eg Fig.1) in the body of your essay.
