Pan's Labyrinth and City of God will both ask about key elements of film form, both likely to be cinematography
Composition:
Rule of thirds
Central framing to draw attention , applying with symmetry
'Leading lines' (using lines in frame to direct attention)
18mm wide shot, used to establish
50mm standard
Use long lens to pull background forward
Lighting direction
Side lighting suggests character has a dark side, as does surrounding them with darkness
Colour and contrast
Low contrast - looks like real life
High contrast - colours stand out, blacks darker. Stylized
Ie colour contrast in Trainspotting goes up when he's off heroin - more vibrant, or less normal
Should use a start, ending, middle sequence in each film to analyse
