Analyzing Mise-en-Scene

Choose any non-animated Hollywood film that you wish to examine. Your job is to analyze this film based on its narrative (story-telling) structure and its mise-en-scene. In Section 1 of your paper, discuss the film’s narrative style. Who is the film’s protagonist, what are his or her goals, what prevents them from achieving these goals easily, and how does the filmmaker tell his or her story. Is it a circular narrative, a narrative based on time or space or is it told in flashback or parallel timeline etc.
In Section 2 of your paper, discuss the filmmaker’s overall use of the various camera, editing, lighting and sound techniques in general. Does he or she use a lot of low and high angle camera shots? Is the lighting high key (realistic) or low key (atmospheric)? Does the director use a lot of unusual editing transitions when cutting between film shots, scenes or sequences? What is the overall impression or atmosphere that he/she is trying to create? Why do you think that he/she has chosen to shoot the film this way?
