In the Mouth of Madness 1995 Film Discussion

 

I’m working on a film discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Film: In the Mouth of Madness

Pick a scene, sequence, or shot(s) in In the Mouth of Madness and analyze it regarding the use of mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing, sound, and/or narrative. Your response should be between 300-500 words and should include minimal plot summary. Assume that your reader has seen the film but please do set up specific scenes with a sentence or two if you plan on discussing them in depth. It’s often helpful to focus on a specific scene or shot for careful detailed analysis as a means of supporting a larger claim. Please be sure to proofread, use specific terms from lectures/readings when relevant, and review the included rubric!

You have the freedom to use any of the material from the course in your analysis, you are only required to use 2 terms in total, from any of the lectures.(from week1 – week4)

I encourage you to analyze a scene that interests you, or to break down how a particular sequence made you feel a certain way. If you found a particular sequence scary, for example, break down what the film is doing formally to elicit that response from you.
