Essay/Analysis format:
Brief introduction-

Brief film summary-
Please produce a brief (less than 400 words) summary of your film. Who are the main characters? What happens in the beginning? What happens in the middle? What happens at the end? This should be a basic discussion of the 3 act structure of your film (Setup, Conflict, Resolution. See your Plot and Story lecture from Week 1).
Body/Discuss- Fantasy
Here, discuss the genre of your film using your text lectures to guide your discussion. What are your film’s visual and narrative characteristics? Expand on your comments from your introduction.

Please discuss particular scenes which you feel highlight the conventions of the Fantasy genre.
Body/Discuss- Mise en scene
Here, discuss the visual language of your film using your text lectures to guide your discussion. Discuss the lighting, costumes, locations, props, color, etc. How does the mise en scene contribute to the story?
