Formal Analysis --> explains how you need to watch a film and instead of understanding the plot you need to take apart the film and analyze each individual aspect.
Film History --> every film has a history as to why it was produced. there could be certain aspects of time period that affected the outcome and POV's of the movie itself. If it were war time then forms of indoctrination could easily change the way a film is made and what audience is targeted.
Ideological Papers --> while exploring a certain specific topic, the movie not only entertains and informs the audience but is generally used to enforce or influence or impose what's in the film to the viewers of the movie.
Cultural Studies/ National Cinema --> these films target what is funny or entertaining not based on the world as a whole but specific to a country. we could be watching a comedy made by russians and americans would wonder why this would be funny at all. IT MAY NOT SUITE OUR HUMOR.
Discussion of the Auteur --> one person retains authorship and control. this director controls every aspect of the film, he or she wants his or her vision portrayed on the big screen for everyone to see what they believe in.
By annotating a film or shot sequence it involves isolated a certain clip in a movie and describing what shots were used to make the standard camera work, art. by doing this, the benefits entail a way to understand and keep track of the types of shots used, you may notice patterns (or style) the director shares with the cinematographer, and why the film will affect the audience; which close ups will count the most...
Thinking beyond the frame involves thinking about how the movie was constructed. you can ask yourself several questions like who made the film in order to see similar genres and begin to make connections as to why the director uses these genres to portray a message to the viewers, something the director wants for the audience to take away with that experience.
Production history of the film is the way and process a film was created. in my point of view it depends all on money. the more money the more you can do with the cinematography and the more your audience will be captured by your message. the directors message.
Knowing what critics say about movies is an easy tool to know and have some insight already about the film. You get to know ahead of time what to expect but it may also influence your thinking and understanding of the movie. you might not get a chance to interpret the film and find your own message that relates to you.
Learning from the films genre to my understanding is seeing how a comedy could limit how scary a person might feel. or vise versa. if there is a lot of humor in a show you are limited to making whoever might be scared a funny scare. If you make that character in a comedy scared in order to scare the audience than it ruins the whole film and it comes apart.
