Connecting Films with Real World

In this unit, we focused on analyzing films, we were trying to discover how each cinematic elements created different effects to the movie, and the impact it gives to the audience. At first, we started the unit by analyzing texts, such as Tim Burton interview, Scarlet Ibis story.etc, to get us “in shape” for the summative later on. Then we analyzed Edward Scissorhands, at first, I felt like the movie was only a really lame story, but then I found out that the cinematic techniques and the messages it conveyed was really meaningful. I analyzed The Sound of Music for my summative, I really loved the movie, so during the process of taking film notes and interpreting its meanings, I didn’t feel really stressful.
