Mise-en-scene - Film Style and Interpretation (Short Cuts) (2002)

Gibbs makes a useful practice of watching how the elements within a shot work together. The readings of Imitation of Life and Lone Star let you try it with a melodrama and a mystery. Notice who can move easily through a room and who has to stop, turn, or look past someone. Read the full case studies after the films if you like going in fresh.
