Write on 2 of the following movies: Griffith’s Broken Blossoms, Welles’s Citizen Kane, Hitchcock’s Vertigo.
Avoid the pitfall of denigrating an older film in comparison to a more recent one, but do take into account changes in style and technology in the medium over the relevant period of time.
Analyze 1 film element—choose from lighting (this includes color), camera (placement, angle), mise en scène (arrangement of what is seen in the frame), sound (music, sound effects, dialogue), and editing—AND
Analyze 2 narrative elements—choose from character, theme, setting, point of view, and style or tone.
