Movie Review Instructions:

For the assignment in this lesson, you are going to choose a film. This could be a favorite film of yours, or perhaps a film that you think would work well for this assignment. You will select a scene from this film that you will analyze, factoring in particular elements of mise-en-scéne that it contains. Here is what I am expecting from you:
1. Full title of film, the year it was released, and the name of the director.
2. You will provide a brief summary of what the film is about (no longer than 4 sentences).
3. A list of 4 elements from the mise-en-scéne that are used effectively in the scene that you have chosen. In that list you will name the element and then describe how it used in the scene. You can refer back to the example from the American Beauty analysis video that was presented earlier in this module as a reference for how that is done. You can not use that scene from American Beauty, or any other scene that has already been dissected in an online video made by someone else.
Breakdown what you see. Consider what it means.
List of the elements of mis-en-scéne we will use for this assignment (all explained in pages of this module):
Shot composition
Sets
Lighting
Props
Costumes
Actor blocking
Foley sounds
Music
Please do not assume I have seen the film, or if I have that I enjoyed it. If something is amazing to you, you need to explain in detail why it is so. Simply stating it's brilliant without clarification is not enough. Do not assume that because you liked it that everyone must have loved it as well. Be thorough!
Please refer to the attached rubric for a breakdown of how the assignment will be graded.

The movie I will be looking at is Inception, released in 2010 and directed by Christopher Nolan.
Film Summary
The film follows Dom Cobb, a skilled thief who is adept at stealing information from his targets by entering their dreams. His life takes a turn when he is offered a chance at redemption with a seemingly impossible task: to plant an idea in someone’s mind instead of stealing it. This concept, known as ‘inception,’ forms the crux of the story. The film explores themes of reality, illusion, and the subconscious mind, all set against the backdrop of a high-stakes heist.
Scene Analysis
In the Paris Café scene (26:00 to 28:20), Cobb (Leonardo Di Caprio) explains to Ariadne (Elliot Page) how dream architecture works. There is a lot of activity in the background since the café is an open set-up in a public space. Behind Ariadne is a man with greying hair reading a newspaper, while behind Cobb, we can see activities occurring in the blurred streets.
