Film language Analysis hwk

BOYZ IN THE HOOD AND GHOST SHIP

 

This clip is excellent for all the areas you have studied up until now - symbols, denotation and connotation, narrative, representation and audience. It is also great for DISTINCT. Write an intro on these for Boyz in the Hood and then:

Please analyse in terms of how camera, mise en scene, editing and sound give meaning to this clip.

Remember:

Camera - FAM
Mise En Scene - CLAMPS
Sound - MCDOVED
Editing - STOPS



Watch the first six minutes and apply your knowledge of camera, sound, editing and mise en scene to textually analyse the clip and the meaning that it created.
In your answer consider:
  • semiotics/symbolism in a lot of the shots for eg the Stop sign
  • Sound / music, dialogue and sound effects
  • What is the clip saying about race, how?
  • What have these children seen that you wouldn't expect them to have seen at their age?
  • How does the shot go from street to classroom?
  • What are the pictures on the wall?



Matrix  opening sequence consider: - colour, binary oppositions, male/female - good vs evil



UP Consider how they show the passage of time, sound, mise en scene and camera.



CAPE FEAR - camera and mise en scene
