Week 12: Task 3 (Scene Analysis) and Task 4 (Research Case Study)

Today we outlined the two remaining tasks for Story through Sound and Image. Here are the slides for today's class.

Task 3 - Research Essay (individual work; due week 15, week 16 at the latest)

We sent you a long email describing how the research process was meant to work for this. Along with it went another soft copy of the subject outline (correcting some date errors in the original), and some attachments, including a list of films we suggest focusing the assignment on, a suggested reading list, and a couple of previous successful essays.

One resource to consider: Cinephilia and Beyond

Let me know what films you are interested in covering next week.

Task 4 - Scene Breakdown (group presentation; presented in week 16 or week 17)

In each class - week 12 - week 15 - I'll be taking scenes (usually out of the films we've been watching), and providing analyses of them, as examples for what you want to be looking at. Today we focused on the opening scenes of Schindler's List. On that note, if you want a closer look at Steve Zaillian's screenplay for Schindler's List, click here.
