“La vita e bella”: Analysis of the given moment of the movie extract (1:43:20 – 1:47:27 mins). The analysis should only cover the specific part of the extract where Guido is seen by the officer and climbs up the wall—he gets caught. 1) Thematic, geographical & socio historical relevance Discuss the relevance of the scene’s film-style to the construction of characters, narrative action (plot development) AND thematics and socio-historical context of the extract. Ensure you include discussion of depictions of the city. These points may be partly or wholly integrated with analysis of film technique. 2) Film technique Describe the most salient (most obvious and important) features of the extract from the list below (you are not expected to discuss all of them, the list is a guideline). camera work: shot size, framing; camera movement; camera angle; special effects (fades, fast motion, slow motion, freeze frame) editing: rhythm (fast or slow cutting); continuity; cuts on movement, spatio- temporal relations etc. mise en scène: lighting, colour, décor, acting style, dialogues, music and sound Use glossaries of film terms to assist you in your discussion. 3) Do NOT discuss the entire film, and don’t begin with background information UNLESS it is directly linked to your extract. Keep the main focus on the extract.
