I'm looking forward to spending an enjoyable year with you, examining the way the media works and helping you create your own professional-quality films.
Make a note of this blog: I will put all the information related to the course up here, so make sure you check in regularly.
Right then, to business...
In your groups, watch this scene from Goodfellas:
WHY does Martin Scorsese shoot the film as he does? What decisions does he make in terms of camera angles/movement, mise-en-scene, sound and lighting - and for what purpose?
HOW does he want the character to come across? HOW does he achieve this?
Make detailed notes on your sheet.
