Midterm Project

What choices are the filmmakers making in terms of mise-en-scene, cinematography, sound, and editing? How do these choices affect the way the audience feels while watching the film? Use 3-4 quotes from in-class readings to support your observations. Essay should be written in 12-point double spaced Times New Roman font. Readings should be cited using MLA or Chicago format. Dont forget to include a bibliography! GENERAL GUIDANCE FOR ALL PROJECTS: If you need to describe the plot of a film in your essay, do it as concisely as possibleone paragraph or less.
