  1. WEEK 7 HOMNEOWRK on POINT OF VIEW:
    • Choose short scene from any film in which you admire the storytelling. Using Chris Tebbetts Matrix analysis as a model, please label / list the director’s choice of shots. You can choose to complete this exercise in a variety ofways: You can label video clip as Tebbets did, you can screen shot and label, you can do simplified sketches using the Brunetti method, OR you can even just watch and list them in written form. The point of this exercise is to pay careful attention and consider WHY the director chose the POINT OF VIEW used in each shot.
