Min Ji+Christine+Casey+Alex (GENED 1030 TF)

## plan

- example
Serves as both the object of analysis & breakdown for students and the model for end-product
- agenda
* audience : who are they speaking to? what is their audience?
* formal analysis : brainstorming based on keywords (specific to each station)
* why?
* medium : how are they using the medium? what could YOU use?

### speech station
#### example

Charlie Chaplin's famous speech in *The Great Dictator (1940)*

[Criterion collection essay](https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/1868-the-great-dictator-the-joker-and-the-madman)

### keywords

* voice (loud? quiet? grating? soft?)
* speed (fast? slow? varied?)
* facial expression (what's happening with the eyes? the eyebrows? angry? composed? peaceful? excited?)
* posture (straight? slouched? leaning?)

----
*break out into separate station 2 if many students are interested*

* camera angles
* camera shot (3/4 shot? full body shot?)
* camera movement (panning? zoom-in? zoom-out?)
* background music (what is it like?)

## space and gear prep

## media prep
