Film Analysis and Its Applications
Prepare As you prepare to write this discussion, take a few moments to do the following:
Review the Modeled Discussion.
Read any required and recommended reading materials for this week, especially Chapters 1, 2 and 10 from your text.
Review the grading rubric for this discussion.
Reflect
As you have learned in this class, film is a far-reaching medium with the potential to affect the greater fabric of our culture. Our understanding this potential and our ability to analyze it reach far beyond just this medium and into all areas of our social structures and culture. For example, the practice of closely analyzing particular films, which we’ve honed in this course, is the same practice of analysis which you will find in other courses – or in learning any new skill.
Write (due Thursday, Day 3)
Based on the films you have watched and the ways you have learned to interpret meaning in them, discuss your ideas about how films engage social concerns and have lasting effects on society. Pick a film (or films) as evidence of this dynamic and describe the social and cultural resonance you see.
Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.
