Introduction to the Art and Technique of Filmmaking


Please respond to both of the following questions. A substantive four- to five-paragraph
response to each question is required. Be sure to answer each question completely. Write in
the present tense, use 12-point Times (Mac) or Times New Roman (PC) font, double-spaced,
with 1.25” margins left-right and 1” margins top-bottom. Do not repeat the questions in
your answers.1. Watch the clip from ET at the link below, then discuss how cinematography and lighting
contribute to the narrative meanings and emotional effects of the scene (you must discuss
both these functions of cinematography and lighting in the scene). You are expected to
isolate, describe and discuss three (3) significant techniques of cinematography used in the
scene, and two (2) significant techniques of lighting. Avoid discussing rote techniques like
centering and headroom, as filmmakers tend to use those kinds of techniques automatically,
even unconsciously. Instead, isolate, describe and discuss techniques of cinematography
and lighting that seem to you to have been included in the scene by the filmmakers for very
specific narrative and emotional purposes. (To answer this question it will help you to peruse
Chapter 8 in Film Art: Style as a Formal System, in particular the section entitled “Analyzing
Film Style.”) The movie clip will be at the attach file. this question require reading of Film Art: An Introduction, by David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson (10th Edition). The page numbers in the course calendar match the 10th edition. Please do not purchase an older edition. CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
2. Name and describe ALL of the techniques of setup and payoff that were covered in lesson 6.
Define the typical purposes or functions of each technique using specific examples from the
films we have so far watched to make your points (choose examples not already discussed in
lecture). Don’t forget to cover the “rule of three” in your answer.
the lecture lesson 6 can be download from the attach file. I will upload it . please read the attach file too. thank you.
Do not lift text verbatim from Film Art without acknowledging that you are quoting from the
book and do not casually “borrow” material from the Internet or other sources. Quotes or
ideas paraphrased from other work must be properly cited. Turnitin flags all instances of
plagiarism and, as it says in the syllabus, answers that are plagiarized in whole or in part will
receive zero credit  CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
