The film I decided to analyze was “The Goonies”. This was one of the few films I could find free online that was from the 80’s and that I was familiar with, as I would know what scenes would be good to look at. I know that it was recommended …
80s Theme

After watching a few “Every Frame a Painting” videos, I have to say, I find them very insightful and addicting to watch! It made me see movie and show scenes differently. Especially as someone who likes to edit videos, they gave a lot of insight and advice into what makes …
For my video essay I decided to do Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. I chose this movie not only because I love this movie, but also my family had watched it like two days before we got this assignment. After watching the various directing technique videos I learned a lot about …
I thought I’d do my own video analysis, using a scene from Spike Lee’s 80s classic, Do the Right Thing.
I guess I’m looking at it more as an artist than a film scholar, but that’s my background. An interesting thing about it is that actor Bill Nunn’s speech …
I messed up.
Only after finishing my video essay did I realize that this assignment was supposed to be for an 80’s movie.
I could make the connection that the Titanic was discovered in the 80’s and that is what inspired James Cameron to make the movie.
It’s a stretch.…

For my video essay, I decided to take a look at a scene from Beetlejuice. I saw it for the first time this week for Halloween. Since the movie is from 1988, it worked perfectly for our theme.

If you love episode 5 from the Star Wars franchise, (The Empire Strikes Back)…

Here we are with my video essay! For this project, I focused on the analysis of visual storytelling – what goes into the production, the acting, the writing – all of that.
For my project, I chose one of my all time favorite movies: Silver Linings Playbook. I chose a …
I think I underestimate myself. I need to learn to stop doubting I can’t do it just because I never have. I think that this video essay that I completed also reminded me of that. I just need to remember that if I can do something like this, something I’ve …
This is my video essay analyzing a scene in the 1989 film called...…
I decided to do an analysis of Laurence, Anyways which is a film made in Quebec.
This assignment was really interesting because I don’t usually analyze scenes in a movie. It was really cool to see how reading about movies helped me do this assignment.…
For this assignment I needed to analyze a video scene from a movie focusing on how the director made emotion and edited the video. We had to include both readings for this week and discuss it over the video.

I did my video essay on a scene from the 80s movie 9 to 5 to go along with the 80s theme and because it is one of my favorite movies. I just picked one of my favorite scenes from it. I focused on the analyzing the camera, and it …
This assignment is a slight variation on the classic ds106 Video Essay assignment in the Assignment Bank. For this class, you need only analyze one scene, although you’re welcome to do more. In particular, your analysis should reflect what you learned by reading Ebert’s essay and watching the Tony Zhou …
I chose to look into the movie Spy Kids for my video essay. I actually not very happy with this assignment I kind of struggled with some concepts spoken in the article, but I tried my best and that is all you can do right?
Anyways I screen recorded the …
For my video essay, I incorporated many of the ideas and concepts from what we learned this week. I decided to look at camera angles and the use of motion throughout this famous scene from Skyfall.

This assignment – my video essay – was the most frantic assignment I did this week. I had so much to say and I felt like I couldn’t stop the film because other people I had watched didn’t so I just tried to explain things as they went. However, I …
The following is a video essay discussing the iconic scene in Guy Hamilton’s “Goldfinger”.
BEHIND THE SCENES
For this video essay, I chose a scene with incredibly staying power and depth–one that everyone knows regardless of your knowledge of source material. I felt as if this particular scene had a …
In my humble opinion, the movie Casablanca is a cinematic masterpiece. Watching this movie feels so deliberate. Every conversation, every shadow, every sound. It all comes together to tell a breathtaking story with very few fancy cinematic elements that are often seen in popular movies. Less is more in this …
When I first started this assignment, I had no idea what scene to use. All I knew is that I wanted to use a scene from The Bourne Supremacy. This movie is my favorite Bourne movie and one of my favorite spy movies. I have professed my love for the …
This week I had some material to read and watch. The first was Roger Ebert’s How to Read a Movie. It was a very interesting read. What I didn’t realize was we see things moving from left to right as positive and things moving from right …
