AS Film Assignment: Cinematography

Use the Powerpoint below to help you with answering the questions on the Cinematography worksheet.





Below are clips from the films Speed Racer (2008) and The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford (2007).

Focus on 'quality' points in more detail rather than describing every shot. You should aim to write about 250- 500 words words and have it ready to hand in for the next lesson.
