Problem
I. Explain the difference between content and form in film. Then, select a scene and explain how the form reinforces the content. In this explanation discuss the idea of cinematic language and how it is utilized in the scene. For example, does the scene manipulate time and space? Does it use parallel editing? Give examples from a specific scene and be sure to support your claim with a detailed analysis.
II. Explain the difference between explicit meaning and implicit meaning in film. What makes them different? Then, briefly summarize what the film is "about" explicitly, and in more detail, explain what the film is about implicitly. What do you think is the "underlying meaning" of the film? support your claim what the films about implicitly with evidence from the film.
III. What is the film's genre? Could it be considered more than one genre? How do you know? What were some of the conventions used? Is there anything innovative the film did in relation to it's genre(s)? Meaning, did it do anything new or unique that you haven't seen in other films of the same genre(s)?
