discussion on fav movie(vocab attached)

WEEK TWO:

Pick a scene from a film that is among your favorites. Remember, a scene is a single narrative moment that takes place in a singular place. What you watched during week one was different scenes. Post a link to your scene and then answer the questions below using the vocabulary we have learned from the first couple of chapters HERE

• What is your initial, subjective reaction to this scene and why?

• Do the processes of identification and idealization apply to your reading of this scene?

• Is the film in which you find this scene by design a work of entertainment or art? If it

is a work of entertainment, what aspects of film art can you find? If it is more an art

film, what makes it entertaining?

• See if you can isolate the various aspects of form in the scene. What can you identify

in the narrative, mise-en-scène, camerawork, sound, and editing?

• Do some research into the biography and filmography of the film’s director. How

might his or her biography and filmography inform your reading of the film?
