I cannot think of one scene, alone, in Beowulf that needs to be edited- I simply didn't like any of them. Perhaps the fact that the movie was shot to be shown in 3D that its effects were diminished while viewing it in 2D, but on a whole I just found the film lackluster. Do not get me wrong the technology used is state of the art, the CGI amazingly done, and extremely impressive but the film lacked that humanistic quality that comes with real life actors, the quirks that allow one to fall in love with the, the subtleties that allow one to connect with them, and the misgivings that force one to despise them. True human emotion is what lacks in Beowulf's scene. Being that the entire film is computer generated the audience doesn't give the same response to the characters as they would had actual living, breathing actors played the roles. So to ask me to enhance one scene that would improve the movie would be impossible because, for me at least, that would be the same as redoing the entire movie. Beowulf is an entertaining and action packed film but it falls short from being anything substantial.
You still need to pick a specific scene to analyse for mise en scene, so you can show how you would frame the scene differently.
