Tasks 
 Remember that scenes are made up of a series of camera shots. These camera shots have framing, angles, in-camera techniques, camera motion, etc. The director is the one responsible for selecting the shots to best portray the scene to the audience and move the story and characters along.
 For this assignment, you need to watch a movie and pick a scene that has twenty to thirty shots in it to analyze. As you watch the scene, keep in mind the topics we have covered thus far in the course - story, theme, character, camera shots, etc. Watch the scene several times and finally pause the movie on each shot and complete the spreadsheet entry for the shot. You will need to describe the shot including the shot's name, framing, camera angle, and movement. Pay attention to what catches your eye and consider why the director choose this shot.
