explore your film’s plot structure, any noticeable aspects of the narration (how is the story told:
narrative technique), of the iconography (recurring visual elements that suggest a specific genre), or of
the film style (how is it shown: aesthetic technique). Once done, meet as a group and, following a
discussion, select two of the listed aspects of film style/technique. Note: as you see, you are not
required to consider any aspects of adaptation. Be sure to choose the two aspects that, as a group, you
consider to be the most relevant! Film style/technique:

3. Cinematography
4. Editing
5. Sound
