We watched the opening of the film American beauty made in (1999) we had to identify the denotation of the camera angles we identified many different angles of different characters for example high angle shot of the street.we then went on to take the denotation and create the connotation where we identify what it makes us think of and how makes us feel for example there is an over the shoulder shot in American beauty where there is an over the shoulder shot looking over at Caroline this shows the distance between them also representing that he is trapped behind the window and that they have no verbal communication. we then plan to move onto the camera movement mise-en-scene and sound whether being diegetic or non diegetic.
We were then given bullets points of a film and had to create in our mind how we would film them certain things that took place before we were allowed to watch the begining of the film and see how it was actually done.The film was called good fellas and old gangsta film made in 1990. we created it in a storyboard of each camera movement and shoty type and then drew and example of it to help us remember and relate to which shot is which.
