This week and next you will tie all that you have learned about the elements of film together into one paper which you will post to your blog. You will actually complete the first part of the AICE Media Studies Exam which was administered in May of 2018. The only difference is you do not have to write this exam in one classroom sitting, instead you will have all next week to complete it. The exam is based on viewing the first 5 minutes of the movie "Agent Carter, Marvel One-Shots, 2013, dir. Louis D’Esposito". Before viewing this film, each of you will create a graphic organizer of your own, which will help you recall all the different elements of film we have studied so far. I am placing a partial sample below of one type of graphic organizer you might like to make. You may have another graphic organizer you feel fits your study habits better. You can create it on the computer or you can make it by hand. Feel free to discuss ideas about this graphic organizer with classmates but you must create one of your own. Post the graphic organizer to your blog this week and the essay to your blog next week.
1) Blog: Create a new post and upload a picture of your graphic organizer, if you create it on the computer embed the jpg file you created. Title this post "Film Elements Graphic Organizer".
Partial Sample:
2) Blog: View the film extract and write a complete essay following the directions below. Title this blog: Film Viewing Practice Essay
You can view the film on the school network drive. "S" Drive, AICE Media Studies Folder,
or you can bring a flash drive and copy it,
or you can watch it on youtube at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Uq8TpsCGPY,
but this version plays a little weird with stars behind it. You should stop it at 4:20 if you watch the link above and 5:09 if you watch the version on the school network.
Agent Carter (Marvel One-Shots, 2013, dir. Louis D’Esposito)
Clip duration: 5:09
Start point: 00:00

In essay format, discuss the ways in which the extract constructs meaning through the following:
• camera shots, angles, movement and composition
• editing
• sound
• mise-en-scène.
