In Film class, the Narrative Unit was dedicated to learning about the different components of a narrative film, from establishing a scene, to creating suspense, to creating a chase scene. At the end of the unit, we combined all of our new skills into creating a full-length narrative short film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our first narrative exercise was the “Griffith’s Scene” exercise, in which we practiced using different varieties of shots in order to set up a scene. For example, we learned about the use of establishing shots, close-ups, and reaction shots in specific orders within a scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
