Problem
Using a screen capture from the film Eraserhead, discuss how the language of cinema (cinematography, misé-en-scene, visual effects, etc.) helps to generate meaning. analysis should plumb the depths rather than wander the breadth. As such, you are only to analyze ONE still frame
A few paragraphs introducing the central ideas/themes
Analysis of still frame:
1. This is the image based section . include one still frame from the film with explanatory paragraphs beneath. Remember - depth rather than breadth.
2. Be sure to spend time discussing technical aspects: Mise-en-scène (use of colour, lighting, composition, set design, props, backgrounds, blocking, costumes, etc.); cinematography (camera angles, camera position - types of shots (long, close up, birds eye, etc.), camera tricks (ie. multiple exposure, forced perspective), etc.).
3. Should cover the 15 elements of mise-en-scène (it may help to pretend you're analyzing a painting).
4. Explain how such technical aspects help to generate/foreground the central themes. In other words, explain the significance of observations.
