T436 - Cinema Techniques Lesson

Write a 3-4 page paper that teaches an aspect of cinematography from the readings and prepare a brief (E.g. 10 minute) corresponding oral report. You can pick any aspect or element from the assigned chapter. You can use a scene or two (E.g. from a DVD) to help illustrate your point.

You will turn in your paper and present your report on the scheduled day.

Be sure to bring in the DVD so you can show a clip for the report portion.

Tip: Be sure to let the class/instructor know what to look for before viewing the clip. (We likely only have time to watch a scene once.)
