Sequences of images are often organized in relationship to cause and effect.
Sometimes there is a delay before the consequence of the action is revealed
to the viewer and other times the effect is immediate. Using the Nosferatu:
a Symphony of Horror website (http://nosferatumovie.com/nosferatu_story_board1.html),
which includes the complete storyboard for the movie, answer the following questions: a) Identify three cause and effect relationships. Explain how the sequence
of events developed and how they caused the resulting event. b) The director uses foreshadowing of events (hints and unrelated events that
become important later) to prepare the viewer for events to come. Identify an
event that is foreshadowed. If there was no foreshadowing in the film, how
would it affect the story? c.) There are times in the story when the actor(s) is/are framed in such a
way that they appeal to the audience, and other times in which the framing creates
a relationship between actor and actor. Identify a scene where the framing creates
an actor to audience relationship? Why does the director use this strategy at
this particular moment? |
