Film Technique Analysis Cards

About this printable

This printable is a sheet of film technique analysis cards (icons, headings, brief definitions and analysis prompts) meant to be cut out and used as prompts or reference during film/media lessons. Each card names a technique (e.g. Camera Shot, Lighting, Editing, Sound, Symbolism), gives a one-line definition and a compact suggestion for how to analyse its effect. Use them as scaffolds for students when watching clips, planning responses or structuring analytical writing and discussion.
