THERE ARE SOME COMMON APPROACHES TO DO FILM

ANALYSIS: SEMIOTIC, NARRATIVE STRUCTURE, AND


MISE-EN-SCENE AND CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS

Use the narrative structure:

Narrative structure analysis breaks the story of the film into these three elements and
might consider questions like:
1. How does the story follow or deviate from typical structures?
2. What is the effect of following or deviating from this structure?
3. What is the theme of the film, and how is that theme constructed?
Use the Contextual:

Some other questions to consider:


1. How does the meaning of the film change when seen outside of its culture?
2. What characteristics distinguishes the film as being of its particular culture?
Use the Mise-en-scen :

Mise-en-scene analysis is analysis of the arrangement of compositional elements in


film. The important part of a mise-en-scene analysis is not just identifying the elements
of a scene but explaining the significance behind them.
1. What effects are created in a scene, and what is their purpose?
2. How does the film attempt to achieve its goal by the way it looks, and does it
succeed?
