Explanation:
A formal analysis is <em>an analytical approach concerned with the means by which a subject is expressed</em>. In films, the subject is expressed in different forms. The form deals with the means this subject is expressed. Every frame we see has a reason to be there. The meaning of a film can be explicit or obvious and implicit or hidden.
