My gratitude for helping me to be "a more active viewer" from now on, I will watch films as they really are, as "a whole" Everything is important: editing, art, music and sound, acting, writing, as well as directing or directors. Thanks so much.
Amazing. I am sad to see that the video has not a lot of views. But let me tell you whoever watches this video ends up becoming an enormously informed person. Could you please make a video on how a film analysis can be conducted with a focus on one or two major themes in the movie? How would that analysis be different from a thematic analysis of a novel?
Thank you Emma your analysis help me a lot. I would like you to help with describing tones and the genres in the film.
Thank you for well organized video! It really helps me preparing for the test❤
This is an amazing video! Your examples and pacing are awesome. I used the video as a teaching resource and my students were very excited to start film study. Thanks for all the effort that went into making this!
This is incredibly helpful. Thank you for creating this video. Through your teachings, I see a way to elevate my movie going experience and film appreciation.
The way you explained everything, the amount of examples, the video is really well donde Im quite amazed it doesnt have a lot of views but this was really, really helpful . Thank you so so much!!

Thanks a lot. About film studies my idea is totally clear now
Great vid!
This is a great video !
Thanks so much
How does one get better at recognizing these film elements in a film during a first watch through? I try to analyze films and sometimes I feel like I get it but other times I am completely lost and shot sizes and editing techniques mean nothing to me.
you'll have to watch it at least a good 3 times ,, you shouldn't particularly force an analysis, take time
Tarantino watches films at least three times during an opening weekend. The first viewing informs the general themes and plot, the second viewing highlights more technique, the third is for enjoyment. Plenty of videos on YT and books on the technical aspects of filmmaking. Enjoy🤗
THANK YOU
Learned a lot
Protagonist is not synonymous with Main Character. Main Character is who the audience is suppose to identify with. In Shawshank Redemption Morgan Freedman is the Main Character because he is the one telling us the story. He is the one we enter the film through. Tim Robbins is the Protagonist.
Also a Hero is a type of character with certain traits. Not all Protagonists are Heros just like not all Protagonists are the Main Character
Antagonist isn't synonymous with bad guy or villain. They are the ones driving the conflict and driving the Protagonist to achieve their goal.
Don't forget in your film analysis the Major Dramatic Question and how and when it was answered and whether it was earned or not.
Nice work - how about one on the life of a cinemetographer????
Does anyone have pdf that i could use freely? I'm currently doing my theses using film interpretation theory
how can I analyze animated films?
can the same approach be used for animated films too? if not please make a video on that too!
It would be very helpful.
Thank you!
Interesting thx
Nice
frightened rabbit AND dcfc in the background... taste
Can you make an updated more comprehensive version of this?
13:33 Come live in my heart. It’s rent free.
ok now this is a good video very much good do you make more video soon?
my teacher played this video in skl..
where's Kubrick, Kurosawa, Fellini, Bunuel, Eisenstein, Welles, Herzog? If you don't do artists in film making what is the point?
There are only so many people you can include in an eight minute video my friend! I simply cannot fit all the greats in a single intro video. I also make an effort to include female filmmakers in all of my videos.
It's a good short introduction for people who start learning about film analysis.
