Pointed out how it works with power structures so that students can be alert for these as the film develops. 

Began the screening of the film. 

Carried out denotative and connotative reading exercises with the films stills from The Trial and Sully in manual 

Introduction to post production techniques 

1. Picture editing – begin examining the daily rushes - develop an EDL (Edit Decision List) cutting the film manner most advantageous to the story.
2. Sound editing — ADR (Automated Digital Replacement – actors record dialogue in the studio) and Foley artists - https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/what-is-post-production/
3. Add musical score
4. Sound mixing (layers blended)
5. Visual effects
6. Color correction – HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) – this is relevant in film still analysis as well – you can see how saturation and brightness were “manipulated in the hearing still from Sully)
7. set up the credits etc

Looked particuarly at:

1. how director set up EDL choices

2 how sounds effects are produced and blended

3, colour correction.

4 setting up of the credits

And discussed how these influence meaning making on the part of the audience.

Looked at the first 4 minutes of The Talented Mr. Ripley and illustrated how this introduces all the plot twists that will develop throughout the film. 

Practical work reading film stills, first to obtain a denotative meaning and then to construct a connotative meaning. 

The opening segment and the long paragraph on p 87-88 were analysed using close reading techniques so that students could understand the literary devices at place in the creation of the moods in each of these passages.
