Film analysis is the process by which a film is analyzed in terms of mise-en-scène, cinematography, sound, and editing. One way of analyzing films is by shot-by-shot analysis, though that is typically used only for small clips or scenes. Film analysis is closely connected to film theory.
Authors suggest various approaches to film analysis. Jacques Aumont and Michel Marie in their publication 'Analysis of Film'[1] propose key points regarding film analysis. (1) There is a general method of film analysis, (2) film analysis can never be concluded, as there will always be something more to explore and (3) it is necessary for one to have knowledge about film history to perform a film analysis. They recognize various types of approach: (1) Text-based film analysis (structural approach), (2) topic-based analysis (narrative approach), (3) picture and sound approach (iconic analysis), (4) psychoanalytical and (5) historical approach.
Another methodology is suggested by Thomas and Vivian Sobchack in their publication 'Introduction to film'.[2] They suggest a viewer can observe the following elements: (1) analysis of film space, (2) analysis of film time and (3) film sound. As they focus mainly on iconic aspects of film, they further propose additional elements: the image, tone, composition and movement.
