Casablanca (Response Paper (25 points). Students will write a 2-3 typed page response paper about how mise en scene functions in two (2) scenes in Casablanca (1942) with particular attention to composition, character, placement, costumes, and setting. Students must screen the entire film in order to be able to discuss how the mise en scene creates meaning in a particular context.

Mise en scene refers to everything that appears before the camera: sets, props, costumes, lighting, and, of course, the actors. The world of Casablanca displays a marvelous mise en scene in fashion that accentuates emotions and feeling through aspects of cinematography.

This assignment is about you, the student, watching a classic film (possibly for the first time many of you have seen the movie), and putting your reaction, thoughts, and feelings into the written word. I want your words, not the writings of another person. Thus, I carefully review each paper for plagiarism. If I find that you have copied the work of another person and are attempting to use it as your own, a zero (0) will be given for this assignment. Please, please, please, do not plagerize. Note: For research purposes, If you do feel you need to use the work of another writer then cite the author. Let me know where you found your information. As always, contact me with any questions or concerns.
