Problem
A. How does the cinematography (camera angles, movement, and focus) significantly contribute to advancing the narration and defining the characters' emotions in Mike Nichols' The Graduate?
B. In addition to camera work, how does the mise-en-scene facilitate the portrayal of the film's characters and their evolving relations?
C. Try to identify at least three unusual, memorable shots or scenes in the movie, likely to stay with you after the screening (consider the camera angles and/or movement as well as the mise-en-scene). What grabbed your attention in those shots?
D. In your view, what is the overall message(s) the filmmakers are trying to get across in The Graduate? Does the film's soundtrack help underline some of those meanings?
