Choose an opening scene from a movie from the list below. (I chose Shrek) Make sure it’s a movie you are familiar with as even though the focus of the paper will be on the opening scene, there needs to be some consideration of the film as a whole. Your writing should establish 2-4 of these: 
How visual tone is established
How characters are characterized visually (think appearance, acting, clothing, etc.) 
How themes are represented visually
The relationship between the setting and the narrative
The role editing in telling the narrative
An in depth breakdown of one of the visual elements (Lighting, Color, Framing, Setting, Angle, Zoom, Movement, etc.) and how it informs the rest of the film
The symbolism of an item, and how it’s established
How the visual elements engage with rhetorical appeals (ethos pathos logos)
If there’s something else you’d like to pursue, feel free to run it by me, but you must get approval. 
Source Requirements:
For this paper, you will be required to find at least ONE new source on your topic. The source MUST come from one of the library databases. The source can be scholarly or popular. The source should inform and support your close reading and assessment of the visual text. 
Structure:
Your analysis should have the following elements: 
Introduction: contextualize the visual elements, and give a brief summary. Make sure to end with a strong thesis statement. 
Body: aim to discuss specific visual details to support your analysis. Use specific examples and moments from the film.
Research: you’ll include one secondary source that supports your evaluation
