Description
You are required to complete screening analyses from a film or television show of your choice.
In your analysis consider the following questions:
Does the text conform to the three-act structure (set-up, confrontation and resolution) as described by Syd Field?
Why do you think the filmmaker and/or showrunner made that decision and what affect does it have on the viewing experience?
Key concepts and terms you may use in your analysis include: Diegesis; restricted and omniscient narration; protagonists and antagonists; story and plot; exposition; ellipsis; climax; and closure.
You may discuss aspects of film form and styles such as mise-en-scène, sound, cinematography and editing—however, you are not required to do so.
It is essential that your analysis is supported with evidence from the film or television show and relevant scholarly references. This assignment should include a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources.
