Compare/Contrast of Notes
Similarities: -Both my notes, and the example candidate’s notes are organized by technical elements (camerawork, mise en scene, sound, and editing) to make them easier to refer back to. -Both my notes, and the candidate’s notes mention the use of medium shots during the conversation scene, and the camera panning down on Lester working on the washing machine. -We also both mentioned the use of low angle shots, although I can’t quite read what the candidate was referring to. -Both my notes, and the candidate’s notes mention the dark and dull setting and mise en scene. Differences: -I mention specific types of shots that are used throughout the clip in my notes a bit more than the candidate did in theirs. -The candidate’s response mentioned that the washing machine’s clattering was drowning out the sound of the wife’s hearing during the husband’s thinking, which was a good point. I did not include a comparable observation. -I mentioned that Lester’s clothes reflect his turn to crime throughout this clip, the candidate did not. -The candidate discussed the use of lighting in their notes far more than I did in mine, especially regarding the use of grey and blue light throughout the scene. -The candidate’s notes do not appear to include a note about the poster, as to where my notes do. -The candidate’s notes addressed the use of diegetic and non-diegetic sound, as to where mine addressed the fidelity of the sound. Compare/Contrast of Responses Similarities: -Both my writeup and the candidate’s writeup mention how the use of sound in certain moments emphasizes the silence of the other moments, albeit we each provide different examples. -Both my response and the candidate’s response mention the use of medium shots during Lester and Pearl’s conversation. -Both of our write ups discuss how the mise en scene establishes the mundane and dull nature of the character’s lives. Differences: -The candidate’s response describes the different technical elements like mise en scene and sound as they happen, as to where my response organizes them based on each technical element regardless of chronological order. -My write up briefly mentions the use of the musical score to heighten shock and suspense, as to where the candidate’s response appears to not mention the score. The candidate’s response describes the use of the washing machine’s rattling, and more importantly how it reflects Lester’s state of mind very well. -My response only briefly mentions the washing machine. The candidate discusses a scene of Lester at his office after he kills his wife that I don't believe was included in the clip we analyzed. -In my description of the mise en scene I mentioned how the juxtaposition of the two characters adds tension throughout the scene, the candidate’s write up does not appear to make a similar observation.
