Huntsville Station, Directed by Jamie Meltzer and Chris Filippone Description:

Description:

Make a list of everything you notice in the film. What you see, what you hear. Just state the facts. For example, describe the opening shot in detail, who is in it, what time of day is it, light, screen direction are people walking toward the camera?

Analysis:
How is everything you described above related to each other. How are things organized, complement one another, create harmony or discord? Think about movement, composition, rhythm, repetition. What stands out the most and why? How do these elements support the story?

Interpretation:
How does the piece make you feel? What does it make you think of? What is communicated to you? How do you know that? What in the piece helps you understand that? How was the filmmaker influenced by his/her surroundings? These should be feelings backed up by observations.

Evaluation:
Did it accomplish what it intended? Why or why not? Make a decision about the work. This is the place for personal opinion.
