Monday - Period 5

New Unit:  Film Study

You will today begin your study of film - narrative, film techniques, characters, themes, etc.

To begin we will watch an episode of 'Inside Out' that introduces how a film is put together and allows us to get to know the narrative and characters.

You will receive a list of subject specific terms to record in your book.

Then we will begin to look at camera shots and angles used by filmmakers and the effect they achieve by using them.
