Film Studies Daily Log

Tuesday, March 31

Students submitted their single-scene analysis essays. Essays submitted tomorrow will lose 10%; essays submitted Thursday will lose 20% (last day for submission).

We returned to Man With a Movie Camera and listen to what Yuri Tsivian had to say about the last sequence we watched and discussed on Monday. We then returned to Battleship Potemkin and did some of the same sort of analysis of montage juxtapositions for that film, looking at the sequence leading up to the mutiny and parts of the mutiny itself.

Mr. Potratz distributed another handout on montage in Eisenstein.

HW due Wednesday:
Read the new handout.
