Individual Oral - Film Extract Graphic Organizer

Now that we’ve acknowledged the interplay between visuals, sound, and language, it’s time to
put it all together and unpack a scene from Parasite. It is important to note that when using film
for the IO, candidates should adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Choose 2-4 screenshots within a scene (approximately 1-2 minutes of a film) that help to
communicate an important Global Issue.
2. Analyze the visual elements of each shot (mise-en-scene analysis)
3. Analyze the sound elements in the scene (diegetic and non-diegetic sound)
4. Analyze the language of the scene (dialogue, voiceover narration)

Mun Kwang: Pull! Pull it hard!

Chung Suk: Are you okay?

Mun Kwang: Did I scare you? Thank you. Thank you. Honey!

Chung Suk: What the hell?

Mun Kwang: Hey! Honey!

Chung Suk: Wait!

Mun Kwang: Honey! I’m here!
