week 4 art discussion

Choose two scenes from one of this week’s films and analyze the role of mise en scène in creating suspense. Identify each element in the scene/the shot and explain its relevance to the conflict being portrayed. What is foregrounded? What is maybe even left out? What’s in the margins and why? Capture each shot. Be specific in your analysis, and do not summarize.

Psycho (1:49:00)

""

The quintessential Hitchcock suspense film that inspired a generation of filmmakers and defined the genre. An eerie motel and a woman on the run from the police. The rest is movie history.

 

 

 

Vertigo (2:08:00)

""

A love story with many twists and turns. Enough to make anyone dizzy! It contains some of Hitchcock’s best and most daring cinematography (and that’s saying a lot), and it is every bit the psychological thriller that Psycho is.

 

 

 

Notorious (2:02:00)

""First of all, it stars Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant. Second, it’s WWII. Her father has colluded with the Nazis, and she is recruited by the CIA to spy on his former colleagues. Lots of intrigue, a fine script, superb acting, tense situations, and incredible direction.
