Recap: I am so excited about today's class, and the next few coming up! Today we began by watching brief film clips from:
It Happened One Night (1934)
Casablanca (1942)
All the King's Men (1949)
After each clip was viewed, we discussed, as a class, the various elements that stood out to you, beginning with the obvious. These categories included:
Dialogue
Costume
Setting
Music
We then discussed the comparison and contrast between each film, and the difference between the film industry then and now.
Homework: Select 1 of the films viewed in class.
Research: the actors, the director, awards won.
-What other films were the main actors in?
-Did they win any awards?
-Did the director have any other notable films? If so, what?
-What awards did the film win?
Read a more in-depth summary of the film.
Write a brief summary about what makes this film a classic.
Provide your editorial opinion on the clip viewed.
Great job today! I hope you enjoy this unit as much as I do. I think we can have a lot of fun with it, and there's so much to learn. You held a great discussion today, so I can't wait to get back to it tomorrow with even more film!
Have a great night!
