Alex Schimpf- September 15th Period 3

Today was September 15,2017 and the class started out talking about the upcoming events. If people did not get the email for blogger, you are supposed to email Mr rivers and Mr Moriarty stating that you didn’t get the email. If you did not read your summer reading book for this class than this weekend will be a good time to get that done. Lastly, the college paper is due on September 25 at 7:00 P.M which is a Monday. The requirements are 400-650 words long that identifies one of the three choices of the prompt which is posted in google classroom. The Objectives were To be able to identify elements of mise-en-scene as  more specific way to analyze a film’s craft. The lesson began with the idea that film is split up into two big realms. Narrative is all about what is happening with examples of media, tv, and comic books. And Craft answering why by creating suspense or with Mise-En-Scene. The Mise-En-Scene is the Setting of the film and what we see on film. There are 12 parts of the Mise-En-Scene and the first is Dominant feature. Dominant feature is what jumps out at you for instance, in the picture, darth vader pops out with the first thing you see. The Light key in the picture is High contrast with a mixture of shadows and not being able to hide. The Depth of field is how focused and object is with Darth Vader's body being the most focused part of the picture. Subsidiary features is what else is happening inside the picture/Film and you can see the glow of the light saber and the look of space all though the hallway. At the end of the video the class was given an assignment to do the same thing with a given picture. There would be one person in the group to share with the rest of the group to have one presentation per table.

  1. Hey Alex,

    Great information up here and I love the use of the Darth Vader image! Really great extension that shows our students what we're really doing and how we can apply it to ALL film and not just the examples we see in class. Consider how you can use paragraph form to more naturally break these ideas up as you transition between topics.
