Objective Topic: Exploring Avant-Garde Style Cinema
It’s time to embark on a journey into the avant-garde realm of cinema. Select an avant-garde film, be it a feature-length production or a short subject.
Guidelines:
1. Film Selection:
Select an avant-garde film, either a feature-length production or a short subject, that intrigues you.
2. Film Details:
Title: Italicize the film’s title.
Director: Provide the director’s name.
Year of Release: Indicate the year the film was released.
Include a link to information about your film or to the film itself.
3. Plot Summary:
In your own words, provide an overview of the film’s narrative and thematic elements. Describe the story, the key themes, and any notable stylistic choices made by the director.
Additional Notes:
Ensure that the film you choose is not derived from television programming.
Do not select films already discussed in the lecture, such as Night Music or La Jetée.
This exercise will help you appreciate the creative and experimental nature of avant-garde cinema. I look forward to your discoveries and insights as we explore these innovative films together!
Subjective Topic: The Unspoken Power of Visual Subtext
How did learning about cinematography help you understand the role of visual subtext in Sunset Boulevard or Rabbit-Proof Fence?
Guidelines:
Film Selection: Let us know which film you viewed: Sunset Boulevard or Rabbit-Proof Fence.
Cinematography Insights: Comment on specific aspects of the film’s cinematography and visual subtext.
Application of Knowledge: Use the grammar and concepts from the Photography lectures to support your answer.
Engage with Your Peers: Respond to your classmates’ posts, offering insights or reflections on their observations about cinematography and visual subtext.
Assignment requirements: Students must address both topics directly. Each Objective and Subjective post should be at least six sentences long, totaling roughly 200+ words for the entire thread. Divide discussions into paragraphs by topic and post them in the same thread. Pay attention to grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Write in complete sentences and use appropriate grammar from the lecture.
Thread Guidelines: Students must start an original thread before reading and responding to classmates’ threads. This eliminates the chance that students can copy or borrow heavily from their classmates’ direct responses to the topics.
Engagement Expectations: Students must respond to two classmates’ posts. Responses should be detailed and constructive, going beyond simple agreement. Single-sentence responses may result in a deduction of points. Responses to the instructor’s example post count as a response to a classmate.
Keep it Positive: Maintain a positive and respectful tone throughout the discussion. Offensive or threatening posts have no place in our academic environment. Approach the discussion with respect and enthusiasm, and feel free to reach out if you need clarification on the topic.
Your contributions are crucial to making our discussions engaging and insightful. Let’s make the most of our time together!
