Film Studies Daily Log

Monday, February 23

Students turned in the HW assignment. Due to the dismally low number of assignments submitted, Mr. Potratz kindly consented to give papers turned in today a small amount of extra credit and to accept papers tomorrow at full credit. This one-time dispensation does not imply a change in policy. Late work will still not be accepted without prior arrangement.

Mr. Potratz and the students who did submit work shared with the delinquents some tips about how to find the needed information for the assignment.

Following that, we watched the final brief scene of Shadow of a Doubt and discussed it and what it adds to (or subtracts from) the film's presentation of evil in the world.

For tomorrow: motifs of Shadows, Smoke, and Stairs in the film.
