Screening Discussion & Film Journal

This assignment is based on in-class film critiques and responses in your film journal. The Film Critique will be partially graded by your film presentation.

For the Journal, you can create your film journal as a blog, or submit it electronically through Canvas.

In response to a film we watch in class, write a reflection piece. You can

  • choose a particular passage that you felt important and expand upon it,
  • focus on a technical, artistic or directorial choices in your response,
  • discuss the documentary in relation to the development of character or story,
  • discuss the documentary in relation to the issues it raises and the questions it poses.

You must write a response to at least 3 films we watch during the term in your journal.

The other 10% will be based on in-class participation, and peer reviews of your classmates works-in-progress.
