● See Next page for scenes (you will have a chance to create your own groups of 2 or 3
students per presentation)
1. Find TWO different FILM (MOVIE) versions/performances of the assigned
speech/scene to show and analyze in class - make sure it’s a professional movie, with film
elements you can analyze (costumes, props, set design, music/sound, etc.)
2. On the day of the presentation, show the clips. You have a choice to either show both at
the same time, and discuss them together, or to do one, discuss it, and then show the
second. Make sure the clips/youtube links are included in your slide show and/o
uploaded to the google classroom.
3. Using A Visual Aid (powerpoint presentation/Prezi/Google Slides, etc.):
a. Analyze the significance of the speech/scene, discussing theme(s), setting,
characters, and literary devices/style/language.
. Analyze the film clips. Compare/contrast the different versions and discuss the
elements of each film version, explaining why they are important, and what they
signify.
Here is a list of the various film elements you should consider as you analyze you
scene/passage. As you compare/contrast the elements, you should consider how those
elements evoke a particular mood/atmosphere or message, how they illuminate/develop a
character, or how they extend a particular theme, symbol, or imagery.
