Description and analysis of first dinosaur scene from Jurassic Park

For next Thursday - Write up your notes on the scene we watched from Jurassic Park (1993). First write up a straight description of the scene - what did you see on the screen, first impressions, feelings and emotions inspired by the scene. Then using the scene analysis grid (Mr Dunn will hand this out in his lesson) write a 250-300 word analysis of the scene, discussing the effect of the use of camera angle, lighting, sound - diagetic, non-diagetic, composition, use of colour, contrast, close-up shots, establishing shots, editing, chronology and narrative viewpoint. Use your IB Film glossary to help you define these terms. Put your work on your blog (make sure you have your answers to the film questions there too.)
