If you choose Get Out, please describe ONE scene or sequence from the film: remember the dialog the camera shot-length and angles, the editing/pacing, and the musical score or sound effects. How does your scene describe to the viewer who is white or even not a Black person, what it means to watch a sequence in which they are not the default audience? Peele uses so much visual/sonic content in each sequence, i.e. white audiences are confronted with aggressions that they make “normally” understand as “micro” but that cannot be missed in Get Out, the camera focuses and employs distance and angles to create audience awareness of race and difference as ALWAYS in play, and so sorth. Be very very specific and please bring in the power point from class and Dyer’s, “The Matter of Whiteness.” Try not to cite time-stamping: you can describe where we are in the film. —Remember for all options, that a sequence is an idea or concept that starts and finishes in a brief series of scenes and which can re-emerge in different form later on in the film. Think of a SHOT as analogous to, or like, a WORD; a SCENE as analogous to, or like, a SENTENCE, and a SEQUENCE as analogous to a PARAGRAPH, that introduces and concludes an idea.
