    Some pointers on the essay:
    – Write a little background on the cinematographer
    – Include a short synopsis of the film
    – Did you like the film or not? Why?
    – Did the visuals enhance the story? Why and how?
    – Pick a shot or two and go into some detail about the visual approach using the
    expanded vocabulary you acquired in the course.
    (camera movement, focus, colors, lighting, depth of field, composition,
    lenses, zoom in zoom out)
