(At least 1 reason for each)
Recap: We were only able to discuss every body's favorite film, and the reasons why today, but I think it's a great start to the next part of our unit. I wanted everyone to have the opportunity to voice his or her favorite film, and explain why. I was happy to see that some of you even shared the same favorite films! It's nice to be able to connect to your peers.
Beginning tomorrow, we will start watching clips from Academy Award nominated/winning films, and discuss what makes them great. We'll begin with the classics, starting with the originals and working our way forward. We'll be doing some film critique with this as well. Film critiques are a great way to begin editorial writing, as that's just your opinion on the film.
Homework: Visit The New York Times' Movie Review Site. Select a film that has been reviewed, and read the review. I want you to see how professional film critics review movies, and what they are looking for. Please note their rating system.
Then, using the film you discussed in class today, provide your own movie rating for your film.
Have a great night! It was nice getting to hear about the movies you enjoy!
