Film Studies Daily Log

Friday, January 23

Mr. Potratz announced that the final examination will be on Tuesday (January 27), that it will consist of four or five clips from films (some of which we have seen), each played twice, which students will be required to analyze in terms of specific filmic elements. Those elements will be the same (camera, lighting, etc.) as those analyzed in the second outside viewing essay (due Thursday, January 29), and preparation for the exam should include careful rereading of the Classic Hollywood Style packet.

We watched twenty-five more minutes of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
