Essay #1: Narrative Summary
Drawing on lecture and our discussion of a film’s narrative design, choose either Johnny Guitar or Rushmore and summarize what each movie is about in:
· 2 pages
· 1 page
· 1 paragraph
· 1 sentence
Guidelines:
· You must stick to the proscribed lengths – if you get stuck, try working backwards from the longest one and pare it down until you get to the essential point of what the film is about.
· You may quote from your chosen film and use search engines to refresh your memory on character names, etc. But, resist the urge to look to the internet for help with your summaries.
· The assignment is due at the beginning of class on February 2nd. A digital copy should be posted to moodle and you should bring a hard copy to class.
