Film terms help provide specific evidence from the film when referencing important events and meanings. You will use the Film Notes Template.docx when taking film notes. For Diary of a Wimpy Kid you may use the template we started together in class: Film Notes Diary of a Wimpy Kid.docx and add to it as you watch the film. Follow the steps and film note guidelines below:

Step 1: Download the template

Step 2: “Save as” a new document. Now you are free to make changes.

Step 3: Open your document before you submit it to check that your changes have been saved. Blank film notes will incur late points.

™Film Note Guidelines:

• Complete the Bibliographic Info (Title and Year, Director), Narrative (Character Names and General Plot), and first two boxes under Style (Titles and Performance).
• Choose 3 of the following boxes under the headings “Style” to complete: Mise-en-scene, Cinematography, Sound, Music, Editing.
  • Make a comment approximately from the beginning, middle, and end of the film to show that you are watching the film critically from beginning to end.
  • ™Be sure you relate the style to it’s effect on the audience (™Ex: “Natural, bright lighting reminds us of the sunny days of youth” is a better comment and will receive more credit than “The lighting is bright.”
• Complete the remaining boxes (from Important Dialogue or Lines to Messages and Themes)
• The Other Notes, Thoughts, Questions box is optional.

Note: If you added the class late you have 1 week to make up any past due work. Submit the work on Canvas with a comment that you added the class late, you will not be deducted late points.
