Unit 2: Intro to Film
Screenplay Analysis (Inglorious Basterds):
In the opening scene of Inglorious Basterds, the action writing indicates Hanz Landa, also known as Colonel Landa, is playing minds games with Perrier LaPadite by grabbing his wife’s hand and kisses it. Along with that, Landa also compliments how beautiful his family is. Secondly, the action writing screenplay indicates who has control by the angle the camera us at. For example, the majority of their conversation is taken with Hanz Landa on the right of the screen and Perrier LaPadite is on the left, but when it gets to the part when Landa takes out his pipe, the camera angle flips. This puts Hanz Landa on the left side of the screen and LaPadite on the right side. This creates the illusion of Hanz Landa being in control of the conversation. The dialogue communicates information about the characters by (not finished...):/

Table Read Notes:
Alaia:
- I find it a little unrealistic because they're arguing in a library and nobody seems to interrupt them
- We should change the ending to make it more emotional
- We could cut to black instead of fading to black at the end
- They haven't seen eachother since the breakup
- I think they still have feelings for eachother
Monika:
- I think that Peter and Ellie get back together at the ending
- Ellie seems to be a shy person
- I feel like they haven't been with someone after their breakup because they're on eachother's minds
- I think they are either in their teens to early adulthood
- We all agree that the ending line should be more dramatic
Helena:
- I think the story is very cute
- I find Peter a strange character for wanting to talk to Ellie, even though it seems to be that Ellie left him?
- I agree with Alaia that the story isn't natural, but I still like it
- I want to believe that they get back together and give eachother a second chance
- We should change the ending line to a more dramatic and powerful phrase
Phoebe:
-When I first read the script, I thought Ellie is being mean towards her "ex"
-As for Peter, he isn't being subtle, it's so obvious that he still likes Ellie
-It seems like Peter is desperate to talk to Ellie, because he keeps on trying to approach Ellie
-I find the story like an emotional roller coaster, it was humorous, a bit of sadness, and frustration
-I think for the ending, if they are meant for each other, they should be together

5 Iris - An iris transition is known to be popular during old-fashion films. It is when a circle forms that closes in to a specific part of the film, which causes there to be no shot showing on the outside of the circle.
