  1. S3 - Blade Runner Lesson Structure

  2. First . . . • Find out which CHAPTER(S) you will be working on. • You should aim to look at 2 chapters per lesson – NO MORE, as you should be looking at and discussing these thoroughly. • REMEMBER to mark these on the wall chart when your group have finished.

  3. Second . . . • Assign ROLES for analysing aspects! • 1 person per aspect: Cinematography, Mise-en-scene, Editing and Sound. • Stick to the same roles for one lesson before changing. • You might find it easiest to rotate these roles in a clockwise direction on a day-to-day basis.

  4. Note-taking . . . • Put your chapter(s) on repeat, and use the ‘GUIDELINES FOR CLOSE ANALYSIS’ – if you answer the questions for your aspect, you will create very useful notes. • Anything else you notice should also be noted, for your critical essay. • Look out for anything unusual and discuss it later, in groups and with the class!

  5. Discussion . . . • After watching and note-taking, DISCUSS your observations with the rest of your group. • Take turns to EXPLAIN what you noticed about your aspect – LISTEN to the other members of the group, and try to form a PCE (Point – Context – Explanation).

  6. Writing your PCE . . . • You should end up with your own paragraph, of roughly 2-4 sentences, with a PCE structure: • POINT of the scene(s), • CONTEXT – where this fits into the film, • EXPLANATION – how the aspects your group have looked at create an effect.

  7. Some things to consider . . . • In some scenes the cinematography stands out; in others, the sound, etc. • Was one aspect more important than the others in your scene(s)? • Remember to try to give reasons for your observations and arguments – you are building up notes for a critical essay. • SHARE YOUR IDEAS!

  8. So . . . • 1 – Chapter(s) • 2 – Roles / Aspects • 3 – Watch / Note-taking (15-20 mins approx) • 4 – Discussion (5 mins approx) • 5 – Write a PCE paragraph (5 mins approx) • You should be aiming to do this no more than TWICE per lesson! Take your time, do it right! • If in doubt about technical terms or aspects of film-making, look at the Yale Film Studies page.
