Choose just one of the dramatic units from the bulleted list above (taken from chapter 4) from which to conduct an analysis by answering prompts A and B below. Be sure to address each item in the list below A and B to receive full credit:(I have chosen the scene for you.)
A. Understand the structure of the dramatic unit by answering the following:
-
- Character – who is the main character in this unit?
- Objective – what does the character want or need to accomplish?
- Action – what steps or actions does the character take to achieve their objective?
- Result – what result does the character receive?
- New Awareness – what does the character now know? This moment is the beat.
B. Understand how the director composed and shot the dramatic unit by conducting a shot-by-shot analysis. View the dramatic unit (available from the links above) and list each shot in the order that occurs. Include the following information for each individual shot:
-
- Composition: For each shot, describe how the characters are blocked in relationship to one another, shot sizes/angles, and camera movement.
- Purpose: For each shot, what information is the director conveying to the audience, and how does the director want the audience to feel?
