In this section, you will be given a series of screen shots. For each screen shot, you must identify the title of the film or television episode, identify what is significant about the shot in cinematographic terms—for example, the type of shot, angle of the shot, mise-en-scène, lighting—and explain the significance of the shot in relation to the film’s theme(s) or character construction.
