Consider Bordwell's discussion of space in film. Elaborate on how space is used in Wall-E (Stanton) You should discuss the composition of screen space, story space, the dynamics of off-screen vs. on screen space, editing space vs. stage space, and mise-en-scene. As you are watching the film, ask yourself the following questions:

- Are there any consistencies in the use of screen space through the film?

-Is the action presented on screen or is it construed as coming from an off-screen space?

-How does the film's presentation of space cue and/or constrain, or frustrate, or even mislead, the viewers attempt to reconstruct the story?

-How is the space of the action presented through the arrangement of the mise-en-scene?

-How does the film's editing contribute to our sense of where things (characters, objects, sets) are positioned in the film?
