    difference between a films story and a films
    plot. Use a specific film to illustrate your
    point of view. In the film you chose, are the
    events presented chronologically or are they
    presented non-linearly? What might a filmmakers
    intentions be when he or she chooses to present
    events chronologically or in non-linear order?

    foreshadowing used differently between the two
    storytelling methods?

  • ASHFORD ENG 225 Week 2 Assignment Elements of
    Design
  • ASHFORD ENG 225 Week 2 DQ 1 Actors and Acting
  • Elements of Design. During the process of
    envisioning and designing a film, the director,
    production designer, and art director (in
    collaboration with the cinematographer) are
    concerned with several major spatial and temporal
    elements. These design elements punctuate and
    underscore the movement of figures within the
    frame, including the following setting,
    lighting, costuming, makeup, and hairstyles.
    Choose a scene from movieclips.com. In a three to
    five page paper, (excluding the cover and
    reference pages) analyze the mise-en-scène.
  • Actors and Acting. The text defines five types of
    actors Impersonator, Personality, Star, Wild
    Card, and Character. Come up with examples of
    each type of actor (in addition to those
    identified in the text) and explain in detail why
    you think they fit each particular category.

    Cinematography
  • ASHFORD ENG 225 Week 2 Quiz
  • Tools of Cinematography. Choose any film clip
    from Movieclips.com (preferably from a film with
    which you are familiar). After reviewing your
    chosen scene, explain how cinematography is used
    within that scene. How does the cinematography
    inform the setting? How does it inform the
    characters? What do the choices made by the

    point within the story? How does the
    cinematography contribute to symbolism and/or
    metaphors in the clip?

    in each of the clips? How does the use of sound

  • ASHFORD ENG 225 Week 4 DQ 1 The Cinematic Auteur
  • ASHFORD ENG 225 Week 4 DQ 2 Elements of Genre
  • The Cinematic Auteurist. Much in the same way
    people have favorite authors who create certain
    expectations from their writing, we have the
    auteurist theory in film. Explain why the
    auteurist theory has become so important to film
    analysis. What are some arguments against
    auteurist theory? How does auteurist theory
    affect the way that films are marketed? How does
    it affect the way that films are analyzed by
    critics and audiences? Please use an actual
    film/director/marketing campaign to illustrate
    your points.
  • Elements of Genre. After watching three of the
    five movie clips listed in the Multimediasection,
    above, describe how they fit into a specific
    genre (or subgenre) as explained in the text.
    What elements of the film are characteristic of
    that genre? How does it fulfill the expectations
    of that genre? How does it play against these
    expectations?

  • ASHFORD ENG 225 Week 4 Quiz
  • ASHFORD ENG 225 Week 5 DQ 1 Focus on Society
  • 1. Question Which of the
    following films is an example of the classic
    screwball comedy?
  • 2. Question Which critic is best
    known for opposing the auteur theory?
  • 3. Question What is a term for
    cheap, quick westerns that were churned out in
    large numbers?
  • 4. Question Why was The Birth of
    a Nation such a controversial film, in spite of
    its technical brilliance?
  • Focus on Society. Just as some books are
    preserved and regarded as having had obvious
    effects on society (such as Lolita, Lord of the
    Flies, and Orwells Animal Farmand 1984), there
    have been a number of films that we look back
    upon which have clearly had cultural resonance,
    or became part of a social dialogue were perhaps
    still engaged with today (see Figure 9.1 of the
    text). Our text tells us that the impact of
    these movies is mostly unintentional and that
    there is debate about whether the movies caused a
    societal shift, or if a change in the culture
    caused the movie to be created (see page 262).

ENG 225 learning consultant/ tutorialrank.com
  • ASHFORD ENG 225 Week 5 DQ 2 Criticism and
    Commentary
  • ASHFORD ENG 225 Week 5 Final Film Critique
  • Criticism and Commentary. Reviews for movies are
    readily available through newspapers, magazines,
    blogs, and other print sources. Metacritic.com
    provides full reviews for a multitude of movies.
    Find a review for a film, preferably one that you
    have seen. According to the distinctions made in
    Chapter Ten, how is the reviewer approaching the
    film. To what degree does the review acknowledge
    the public perception of the film? What evidence
    does each review provide to illustrate main
    points and claims?
  • Review the critical analysis questions in the
    Conclusion and Critics Resource section of
    your textbook. Write an eight to ten page film
    critique (excluding the cover and reference
    pages) of an American feature film of your
    choosing. Use the list of critical analysis
    questions provided in your textbook as a guide
    while writing your paper.
  • Areas that must be covered
  • Storytelling
  • Acting
