Film Analysis Homework for AML

Watch the following extract from the film 'Mystic River' at least 4 times and make detailed notes.

Analyse the ways in which the director, Clint Eastwood, uses film language for effect.
Look carefully at:
  • camera angle, movement and position
  • sound
  • editing
  • mise-en-scene
Please keep your writing as technical as possible and don't forget to explain why you think certain camera angles or shots have been chosen. The analysis of the effects are vital. Try to pick out particular frames, shots, edits ... etc.. that you can discuss specifically.
